Do not judge, lest ye be judged
Philosophy
GENERAL PHILOSOPHY
Philosophy is how people perceive their world according to what they have learned and
experienced; it gives justification for the way people behave and run their lives; it also gives
a system for judgement of others. Philosophy is as diverse as people and there are as many
philosophies as there are people. While people may belong to one group with a certain philosophy
each person will have their own version of the philosophies and personal idiosyncrasies with it.
MY PHILOSOPHY
I hold a common moral of benign force. I wish not to harm others and try hard as I can to do as
little harm as possible. This I take from wicca " An it harm
none do what you will" From this I also take the idea that there are no victimless crimes. I do
what I feel like doing so long as it does not seem to be harmful. Another reason I wish not to
harm other living beings is my pantheistic beliefs.
PANTHEISM
-is the belief that life is god.
This area of my philosophy gets perhaps a little complex. I believe firstly, that our souls are
a tiny fragment of the Life Force that makes up 'God', which I prefer to call Deum (more about
this later). These fragments are all subconciously connected and together make up the life force.
This force has sub-sections that create different forces we see in nature. Examples are love,
motherhood, intellect, birth, death, purity, stability, magick and can also be specific creatures
like cats, wolves, bears etc. These
groupings are in the minds of men to more easily understand Deum (which it is impossible to
comprehend Deum completely). Older pagan religions had these forces, as does Hinduism still.
Each god had different aspects contributed to it. Aphrodite was love and sensuality, Hera was
motherhood/wifehood..., Apollo was the sun (after all it is where all of our energy originates)
and the arts. Monotheism (belief in a single god) still does not get away without grouping the
forces. While only Catholicism has several different aspects of divinity (the Saints) all
christians still have God, Jesus, and Mary. God is not quite Deum because God is given attributes
making him incomplete. Deum is simply a name given to all the life-force; it is neither birth nor
death, feminine, masculine nor nueter; it is all encompassing. To pray to Deum would mean giving
it aspects (if you pray for health you would be giving it the aspect of healing). This is the
reason I use deities and not Deum directly. I also feel an affinity towards several of them. My
Pantheon goes into the deities my connection to them and their role.
DEUM
Deum is my word for the divine force that exists in all living things. To read more go to my Deum page.
CHAOS THEORY
I agree most definately with the chaos theory. This theory explains how a butterfly in the woods can create a hurricane on the coast, how a small pebble rolling down a hill creates a cave-in of mass proportion. Since I cannot explain it well, what I am going to do is find a site or a few that do. Go to my links and if I've found it you will see it. This theory brings up another thing that I need to add. So on through the troubles do I charge!
KARMA
Karma is from Hinduism, made popular here by Buddhism. It is the idea that whatever you do will come back to you. Karma is how we are taught the lessons we need to learn. My idea of this is maybe different a little from most. I believe that Karma does not just effect you through what you have done, but how you act, and think, so that you won't do something. And it's also how you are taught after you've done something wrong, and who knows why you weren't taught before you did it, maybe so someone else could be effected by your mistake and learn their own lesson! Karma is universal in religion though, Christianity (do unto other's as you would have them do unto you, judge not lest ye be judged, etc.) and Wicca (threefold law states that you receive three times that which you give out). I agree with Karma though, it is forward and doesn't allow for misinterpretation. It says you get you you give (what goes around comes around) but it doesn't multiply this. The threefold law is impossible, if that were so energy would be growing at an exponential rate, energy is neither created nor destroyed people!! So how can it increase, without being created? It can't.
CONCLUSION
Thank you for stopping by, make sure to check out the rest of my site. If I think of anything I want to add you'll be sure to get it, for my philosophy is not confined to what I have already written.
