Mystics Welcome
"This generation is full of religion: fed up on the diet of nothing. Give me the real thing flowing through my veins." -deliriou5?
This forum is for those who experience GOD outside the prescribed beliefs of religious establishments. We are dedicated to the belief that there is a little piece of God within us all, whether it is called the "Atman", the "Kingdom of God", "Christ the Hope of Glory", or "the divine spark." It is this piece of God, and not ritual or dogma, that makes worship and true enjoyment of spiritual things possible.
Here we invite Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Baha'is, Rastafarians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Taoists, Wiccans, Luciferians, Athiests, Gnostics or Agnostics to study each other's Holy Scriptures, theology, and devotional music. We encourage those interested in "thinking outside the box" to experiment with the creation of their own theoretical systems of theology here, or to give feedback to others who are in the process of doing so.
Examine pop culture (including lyrics of your favorite songs or quotes from your favorite movies) and the current political realities facing the world today
from a faith perspective or a non-faith perspective. Engage in debate if debate is your thing (but keep it respectful). Post your favorite poetry or original poetry as well.
"The practice of mysticism... makes good Christians... good Hindus, good Buddhists, good Taoists, good Moslems and good Jews." - Aldous Huxley, from his introduction to the Bhagavad-Gita
