I've never been one to take things at face value. As far back as I can remember my way has been to delve a little deeper and research the things I read or was told. Once I have accepted something to be true, you can be sure that I have considered the source carefully and studied all the pros and cons available. That's the Libra in me. I grew up giving Christianity a chance to prove itself to me and it fell far short of doing that. I was told that "God does not have to prove Himself to me." After all, who am I to question "His Laws"? "Don't you want to go to Heaven, young lady"? "Don't you know that Jesus died for our sins"? "Just ask Jesus into your heart and you will be saved." But what does that mean? If I ask Jesus into my heart I will go to Heaven no matter what I do? If I sin, all I have to do is ask Him for forgiveness and all will be forgiven? I've read the Bible cover to cover twice and God did not seem so forgiving to me. Why did God not want Adam and Eve to know the knowledge of good and evil? Where did all the other people come from when Cain took a wife? Why would an all powerful God do such awful things to Job, his most faithful servant? To prove a point? What kind of God would test Abraham's loyalty by asking him to sacrafice his son? If God was the only God, then what did he have to be jealous of? These are just a few of the questions that I was never given a sufficient answer for. There were too many holes filled in with too many different interpretations, none of which made much sense to me. That was when I was told that my instincts were wrong and that just because something doesn't make sense to me, doesn't make it untrue. What, then, makes truth?

All I had to back me up were my dreams and my instincts, or so I thought. As I grew older I found that there was much more to my feelings about the subject than was ever revealed to me before, and from much more reputable sources. Thus I decided to follow my instincts and they proved themselves to me because they worked!
Mine is a belief system based on natural harmony--joy and freedom of the individual. I believe that all life is sacred, and refuse to harm anyone. Recognize the universal life force through which we gain serenity, health, and prosperity.
Life should be happy! Believe that people are good and warm and wonderful!
Of all Earth's living creatures, only human beings are forced to live by artificial codes of morality. We are told sex and every other pleasure is sinful. We're forced from childhood to repress normal, natural instincts which--if allowed to grow--would bring joy and serenity to us and to those about us. Because of this repression, most humans are filled to overflowing with guilt and feelings of inadequacy. What brought this on?
Compelled by mystic visions of the world through magic eyes. To see the Balance rising up to even out the lies! Consumed by mass confusion. What's the purpose of it all? No reasons why reveal themselves. I stumble and I fall. When they tried to kill the magic and build new societies, In bloody slaughter, moralized, was born the disease that nobody sees, Or wants to believe. Believing in lies with a Holy disguise Foolish fears feed on inferior minds Consumating the power.İCrystal Moon 1997 All graphics are links back to the sites where they originated.And once again a special thanks for permission to use graphics.
