Back in the 1980's I read everything I could find on spirituality beginning with Shirley Maclaine's books. I can't give you a list of the books I've read over the past 25 years; there were so many and I never kept a list, but I've read some pretty far-fetched stuff as well as main stream stuff too.
Then when the internet was born I joined some groups dealing with spiritual matters over the years. But eventually, with each one, I would feel the fit wasn't quite right there either. As a matter of fact I left another group just last week.
I'm pretty open-minded so I don't feel threatened by new ideas. Even if I don't believe something for myself, I can say, " Cool, that's an interesting idea." But if it does sound interesting and doesn't go against my gut feeling and it's not immoral, I'm willing to try almost anything, at least for awhile until I can develop an opinion about by experiencing it.
When I join a new spiritual group or read another book I try on the new beliefs like you'd try on a jacket. I say, "Okay, that's an interesting perspective, lets go with it." And I talk about it and wear it for a short time and sometimes it sticks and sometimes it doesn't. But at least I tried it.
I used to be so afraid of just about anything I didn't understand. I have to admit that. But now, hell, the dark cabal, 4D or the bad ET's, just to name a few, don't scare me anymore. The way I figure it is I've been coming here lifetime after lifetime; ignorant of all this stuff and I have never been deceived by some dark cabal or been trapped in some paradigm for thousands of years up until now. Universe has taken care of me just fine so why not live my life and experience as much as I can and let Universe continue to do just that.
I watched a short Eckhart Tolle clip the other day. In it he says that every thought is an energy form and therefore negative thoughts are energy bombs or hostile entities that attack our life; because our negative thoughts will attract negative events and people to us.
Wow, what a thought! So if I'm afraid of being deceived or falling into a trap, that is exactly what will happen. If I think the whole world is full of bad people and there are no good people, I will attract bad and negative people to me. If I think I am a klutz then I will be a klutz. If I hate being alive, then I will hate living.

I wish there was a place I could fit in. A place I could call home rather than just another stepping stone but maybe that's just part of my path on this journey I'm on. So I ask myself, "What now?" What is the next step in my spiritual journey? Another book or group it would seem. But for now I am content to sit back and start this blog.
