For those people, there is no imagination or searching as they have all they need in the constraints of what they believe by following their structured religion, whatever it is.<br />Since I opened up my mind to other faiths and ideas by living honestly, I am on such an exciting journey, seeking one path, then another to explore what is available to learn. Such a great experience and I hope it lasts a long time, with no need for time goals as to when I need to fill my cup as it is already overflowingEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15622385430619682862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633184610062276774.post-39471392040609037032011-07-28T04:34:58.257-07:002011-07-28T04:34:58.257-07:00absolutely and thank you...in some ways it is the ...absolutely and thank you...in some ways it is the very emptiness that God can be expereinced, not in the clutter...i was once asked to decide on whther god is everything or God is nothing and it was important to come to terms with that then...today though I feel closer to the truth that God is everything and God is nothing...thank you for your thoughts as alwaysRevDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569349958868233578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633184610062276774.post-58579205097786393382011-07-28T03:30:42.309-07:002011-07-28T03:30:42.309-07:00Someone once said to me that Unitarianism is an em...Someone once said to me that Unitarianism is an empty path. They meant it as a criticism, but I thought it sounded rather positive and Taoist. "The way that can be named is not the true Way" (usually written as "The tao that can be named is not the true Tao", but Tao just means "way").<br /><br />The point about an empty bowl is that you can fill it with whatever you like; it is clean and receptive, and it gives form to whatever fills it. <br /><br />The point about an empty path is that it is not cluttered up with extraneous symbols, meaningless rituals, and pointless prohibitions.Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.com
