Spiritualist Isn't An Excuse for Poor Behaviour

So I have some serious thoughts that I am fully aware will cause people to be like grrrlll, who hurt you!  And it's not so much about anyone hurting me, it is more about how people use a term and spin it to suit their own needs.  

 

Being "Spiritual" in my view is actually different from being a "Spiritualist".  Now I'm not going to bore anyone with all the ins and outs of this.  In fact, I will end up boring myself.  I believe that I am Spiritual.  Hard Stop.  I believe in many things that the Spiritualist churches do, but not all and I hold myself to the same standard of conduct when being of service (which is my jam) providing metaphysical or spiritual work that the Churches generally do as well.  

 

I believe we all have opinions and those opinions deserve to be heard and discussed if warranted.  They don't have to be agreed to by all because it would be asinine to believe that my opinion should be everyone's opinion and vice versa.  I actually truly love the phrase "Agree to disagree".  And that IS a hard stop!   No need to continue on and on to sway someone to your way of thinking.  We are all uniquely created and therefore we will find the people who exhibit or express the same values that we do and we will tend to stay close, even if we grow into a different mindset, we will and we absolutely should, surround ourselves with the people that will understand where we are coming from.

 

Having said that,  claiming to be something and then exhibiting the absolute polar opposite of what you claim to be and attaching the idea that you are doing this for the betterment of the community you are trying to be involved in is hypocritical to say the least.  If you believe passionately in a cause or a view, then you must sit back and really step into who you are and how you will address those who may not come from the same mindset better yet, what right do you have to come after someone for not sharing your views? Why do you feel it's necessary to come at them at all?  Hiding behind being a "Spiritualist" and "doing it to save the Spiritual community" shows that Ego is more of a thing than not.  A healthy Ego is not in play here.

 

No one is of service to a cause if they are trying to be performative, or attention-seeking.  I have never tried to convince anyone that being "Spiritual" is the only route to go.  It works for me.  It has carried me and continues to carry me through difficult times.  I embrace personal responsibility, the hierarchy of Angels and the idea of being a good person brings good things into my life.  That is the core of what being Spiritual means to me.  I don't have to like everyone in the community, but I respect them for what they offer.  I get to share my opinions and then I let it all fall as is meant to be.

 

If that doesn't work for you I simply let you go.  Bye Felicia
