Organized religion

I guess today is good as any, being the designated holy day, to speak up about my opinions in this area. My husband asked me how could I believe as I do but did I as I did. (confusing huh) Well, my answer is I struggled for a long time with myself. I spent alot of time asking questions and searching for answers. I spent a good amount of time watching. I spent a good amount of my life time in and out of some faction of religion/church from a childhood to adulthood. I even attended a Bible college for a short stay. It was only in the last few years of observation that I have finally concluded with all my questions, watching and experience that I definitely have no use for an organized religion but I am probably one of the most spiritual people. Spiritual!!! Yes, Spiritual; I believe Kharma, Dharma, Wholistic, Nature, good,evil, pretty straight forward beliefs. I am truly thankful what I for what I have and we give thanks daily but we don't live in some fanasty world that all people must believe and think like us to be accepted by us. I only have a mans word to go by so I remember his words very well and will repeat them if I must. I have learned to let things go even though I must admit that has only been a recent accomplishment. Patience has taught me most people will hang them selves with their own actions and words and I just need to watch. It is through my beliefs that I have accomplished this inner peace with myself in that area. I do hurt but that is different ways. That is what is being done despite all my efforts it is like a small ache in my heart. I have learned not to ever expect anything and do everything. For now I will continue to walk away from all organized religion and rely on that which has never failed me, never left me and has always held me up my spirituality.
