Well, finals are over again. I just finished a five week summer class in physiological psychology. It's very interesting stuff, although not my area of interest. Are we really just products of our biology, our DNA, the processes going on inside our brains? Emotion occurs as a result of physiological events, but emotion isn't spirit - so how do we define and identify spirit? Perhaps not the emotions themselves, but which emotions occur and when can define our personalities. It's hard t think of the aspect of self known as spirit without identifying it with something we have experienced, such as emotion or thought, but it outside of these things. 

It got me thinking today about the nature of religion and faith, and the variety of ideas that exist. Who's right? Are we all wrong? Is religion something we created to make us feel better? Similarly, is religion simply the result of a genetic predisposition for curiosity and a desire for knowledge? Religion and philosophy are very old subjects and have histories that often intertwine. They emerged as we identified ourselves as separate from other things, and wanted to understand and explain ourselves and the things that are outside ourselves. Some concepts stressed that nothing is outside ourselves. We are everything, nothing is separate from anything else, and we are all interconnected. This is the concept that Wicca and witchcraft have returned to, accepting that nothing happens by chance and that everything that exists, regardless of which plane(s) it resides in, is composed of the same fundamental substance. Although the quality may differ, the concept is the same throughout, and this is what allows us to experience things beyond the normal realm of human existence and sensation.

Well, that was an interesting little rant. =) I've been on a health kick for the last few weeks, exercising daily and being more strict in my vegetarianism and dietary planning. Life is good, and I love the way being healthy makes me feel. I'm starting to accept the circumstances of my recent relationship, which ended earlier this year, and find peace within myself. It's hard, but I know life will go on and eventually I will meet someone new. I also know that my experience has important lessons for me to learn, once I'm ready to, and that if I take the time to understand my faults and bad habits, my future relationships will be healthier and happier. I still wish things weren't the way they are, but it's beginning to occur to me that I might be better off alone and that having my ex in my life did more harm than good. The fact that I can even consider that is a big step. I will always love him, but deep down I know that he will be much better off without me, as well. So all I can do now is let time heal my emotional wounds and hope that he finds happiness with someone else. In the mean time, I'll miss him, but I'm patient. With time my heart will recover, and he will meet someone special, guaranteeing that he'll never be a part of my life ever again. I know some of you out there understand how bittersweet my current emotional situation is. He will be happier and I will be happier - "will" being the operative word. Right now I want to cry and get a hold of him and have him in my life again. But he let me leave. I told him why I was going and he agreed that it was best. He admitted that he never cared about me as much as I did for him. So, I know it would be useless to give in to this weak impulse. So the most I let myself do is a little mini-spell, gathering together all the love and hope and good wishes that I have for him and sending it to him, hoping that it will reach him and give him strength and hope for the future. I think about him every day and pray that he finds true happiness that lasts for the rest of his life. And I wish it for me, too. The road to recovery is a difficult one, but at least I'm on that road - that's a step in the right direction.  I know happiness is just a mended heart away.

Wow, two rants in one journal entry! What are the odds?  I hope everyone out there is doing well, please feel free to post comments or email me if you have any questions about anything, or if you just want to chat.

well, I should say those are both very thought provoking rants:) I think you did the right thing letting go of the past and moving on. I need to work on that myself. As far as the religion rant, I'm of the opinion that if it improves your life, whether right or wrong, then it's working out. Blessed Be ~kelisia
