Chaos, part 3
So last time through I kind of rambled about meditation. In hindsight, it was kind of a useless post because I think you all comprehend meditation. Oh well. Moving on.
The next big step is to recognize when things can be interchanged. In my first post here I mentioned that there are no wrong answers and that it’s a matter of looking at things differently. This can be applied to the methods...

Question about deity and paganism
The importance of believing in deity varies depending on the pagan religion you say you follow. Wicca, for example, is primarily about your relationship with deity, however you envision it/them (monotheistic, polytheistic, duotheistic, etc…) and so you couldn’t very well be an atheist Wiccan. I can’t speak to other pagan religions, but I’m sure there are some where the...

I just replied to the question about deities in context of Paganism, but I feel I should elaborate more than I’m allowed on a regular reply.

More Chaos
Last time I wrote, I explained how if nothing is true, and everything is permitted, that the universe is to be changed through how you look at it. Now for the next little step in that logical train. In order to change the universe via perception and perspective, you must change how you look at the world. More simply put, you must look in to look out.
