This blog started out as a conversation between me and my mom, like any good idea. We were talking about beliefs, about feeling a bit detached from the universe, feeling stuck in a chasm not knowing the next step. Feeling lost. This conversation between mom and I circled my varied and many choices of religions over the years, and not ever finding one that "fit". We talked about a natural human desire to fellowship with others of like mind and spirit, and about my disappointment in not finding any one group that I felt completely at ease with and comfortable in. We talked about being let down by people we once trusted. In all it summed up to this question:
What is your source?
...the source of your faith?
...the source of your strength?
...the source of your spirit?
...the source of your inner guide?
...the source of your higher power?
To whom or to what do you answer to?
This is the premise of this blog. The source. My Source. Your Source. Our Source. What is it that gives us the will to survive, to continue, to exist, to live?
It may be different for each of us. It may be the same for many. It varies from person to person, from faith to faith. It could be your religious beliefs, or your spirituality. I believe that the two are different, which is why I ask separately.
I've been looking, searching in earnest for my source. Till it dawned on me. My source comes from within. It's very personal to me. It can be very vague, but it exists none the less. My children are also my source. My reason for living and getting up every morning. My family is also my source. I am a spiritual person, but do not consider myself religious by any means. Though I know a few religious AND spiritual people, they are few and far between. My beliefs do not follow any one set of faiths, but incorporate the best of many. We wanted a place for those of us searching for the same answers to gather, to share, and to grow. We simply wanted to meet others with sources of their own with whom we could share and connect with.
It doesn't matter what your religious choices are, who your god is or pantheon of gods are. We welcome all of you, with love and respect to your beliefs.
The only charge and demand we make is that as your beliefs will be respected and not belittled nor scrutinized, that you respect others beliefs here as well. Hate will NOT be tolerated.
With that, we open our minds and hearts to you.
Welcome to The Source Gathering.
So...
What is your source?
