| For those who are unfamiliar with the
| |
| | you to "convert" start asking you to give
|
| Hindu gods, Ganesha is the
| |
| | up all the others. I'm not giving up
|
| elephant-headed god of overcoming
| |
| | Ganesha. But I'm not giving up Jesus
|
| obstacles. He also happens to be the
| |
| | either. Or Mary or Archangel Michael or
|
| patron god of writers. Apparently
| |
| | the Buddha or Kwan Yin for that matter.I
|
| writer's block has been around for quite
| |
| | believe in the One True God, and I
|
| some time.I realize that a belief in
| |
| | believe in all His vast and beautiful
|
| multiple "gods" is considered
| |
| | religions. I guess that makes me a
|
| sacrilegious by some. Both Christians and
| |
| | pan-religious monotheist.If that sounds
|
| Muslims, for example, are quite strict
| |
| | like a mouthful, you could call me a
|
| about their belief in the One True God.
| |
| | Christian Buddhist Hindu Gaian follower
|
| But these arguments have arisen more from
| |
| | of the Tao.I don't mention Judaism or
|
| semantics than from any underlying
| |
| | Islam because I haven't yet felt called
|
| philosophical divide. Even if there is
| |
| | to study much about them, but I do
|
| only One God, still there are many
| |
| | believe in Moses and Abraham and I do
|
| aspects of God--truth, justice, honor,
| |
| | believe that Muhammad was a True Prophet.
|
| integrity, trust, faith, joy, peace...
| |
| | I just don't see what all the fuss is
|
| Using the word "god" to depict the Hindu
| |
| | about in refusing to "take sides."Somehow
|
| representations of the divine is really a
| |
| | I can't see the Great Masters of Earth
|
| misrepresentation of Hindu beliefs.Hindus
| |
| | all standing around in heaven arguing
|
| believe that all reality is One. There is
| |
| | with each other. As far as I'm concerned,
|
| only One God because there is only One
| |
| | they're standing around together and
|
| Everything. So I'm perfectly happy to
| |
| | shaking their heads in perplexity."They
|
| call Ganesha the divine aspect of Mighty
| |
| | just aren't getting it," they're saying
|
| Faith--just one of many aspects of the
| |
| | to each other. "What are we going to do
|
| One True God--if that will keep us all on
| |
| | about all this arguing? That's not what
|
| the same page.Here's a little prayer I
| |
| | we were trying to do at all!"The real
|
| wrote myself that I like to offer up to
| |
| | problem is this underlying attitude we
|
| Ganesha whenever I'm stuck on a writing
| |
| | hold to so tightly--this belief that one
|
| project: "Beloved and Mighty Ganesha...
| |
| | thing always has to be better than
|
| I'm stuck... Please help me... Amen."Hey,
| |
| | another. Why can't we accept the fact
|
| if anyone in the Heavens is going to
| |
| | that everything has its place? "For
|
| accept a minimalist prayer, it's Ganesha.
| |
| | everything there is a season, and a time
|
| Writer's bock is His Thing. I'm sure he
| |
| | for every matter under heaven..."
|
| understands.If you happen to know that I
| |
| | (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Well there's a
|
| was born in New Jersey to Caucasian
| |
| | purpose for every matter under heaven
|
| parents and that I am currently writing
| |
| | too. And it's time we made a little room
|
| this blog from the heart of the Bible
| |
| | in our minds--and in our hearts--for that
|
| Belt, you might wonder what I'm doing
| |
| | idea.So here's a prayer for the world
|
| praying to an elephant-headed Hindu
| |
| | tonight, another prayer I wrote myself,
|
| god-slash-divine-aspect in the first
| |
| | and I offer it up to the Heavens in all
|
| place.Well, I read a lot. Hinduism is the
| |
| | earnestness:"Beloved One True God,in all
|
| world's third largest religion, after
| |
| | Your myriad Divine Aspects,please help us
