Going by What Feels Right
Although I enjoy studying different religions and getting different perspectives of religions, I don’t really subscribe to one individual religion. I read religious studies like I read any other book if something feels right I accept it if it don’t I wont. I have found common denominators in different religions. It mentioned in both The Kabalion and the Bible about throwing pearls to swine.
They did not believe in casting “pearls before swine” But rather held to the teaching “milk for babes; meat for strong men” THE KABALION.
Matthew 7:6
" Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
For those of you who have never heard of The Kabalion it is the study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece. It teaches about Hermes Trismegistus whose name means The Great Great or Trice Great Wisdom.
It teaches about The Seven Hermetic Principles.
The principle of Mentalism
The principle of correspondence
The principle of vibration
The principle of polarity
The principle of rhythm
The principle of cause and effect
The principle of gender.
Hermes Trismegistus also is famous for writing the Emerald Tablet. In fact, whenever you hear me refer to God as “The All” I got that from The Kabalion.
Even the Greatest Wisdom of the Buddha doesn’t all settle right with me. I see nothing wrong with desire as long as it is a desire given to you by God. However, there are many great and wonderful things to learn through the studies.
I don’t know that I have found anything that does not flow with me in studying The Kabalion or Hermes Trismegistus. However, I also have not studied all there is to know in that belief.
Pretty much, what I am trying to say is that I believe truth is written in our hearts. We can feel when something feels right and when it doesn’t. Often things will come to us on its own sometime later you may even run across a study that confirms it.
I like to study different beliefs to get an understanding of different ideas. Often I will read something that will remind me of something I knew and have forgotten. (Sense we never really forget perhaps its better said I have not thought about in a long time.) and needed to be reminded of. Other times studying something will give me a new slant on things. I liked what To`na Wanagi said about the medicine wheel. That is a new thought I will probably look into later.
For the most part, sense we are all on our own path the path we need at this time in our lives. My advice would be to follow what feels right and your heart. Do not try to force something that does not feel right. Don’t judge what feels right in others hearts because there on their own path. After all it is God who puts these things in our hearts.
I love to read what others think because it gives me something to think about…
Have a nice day Sincerely Reverend Penny J Ragan.
