Hi-ho and hello.
Today we’re headed On to Carl Jung’s Fifth Pillar. . .
A Philosophical Or Religious Outlook
This, I feel is a sensitive sort of conversation, like showing my nethers on camera. But, if it’s something believed, then wear it with pride, right?
It’s a deistic perspective I carry when thinking of the whole, you, the phone you’re likely holding, myself, those all around us, my puppies, my boy, the birds flocking to the dog food.
I grew up in a Christian household and was a happy, docile kid who loved his Bible. And there are certain aspects of the faith I grew up with that still resonates, still stands as a testament to being a decent person. But I also grasped some aspects to the two-faced way ideology that brought forgiveness to a circumstance depending on that of the person. I still question that today.
It’s all connected.
So, growing up, there was this idea that if I am to ask for forgiveness to that of God, then I am forgiven. Bingo, bango. Simple, that’s beautiful and I get it for the reason of faith and recovery. But, I then started seeing people’s state that ‘God gave me this’, ‘God did this’, ‘God made this happen for me’, or ‘Satan created these problems’, ‘satan’, ‘evil’, ‘destroyed my family and me‘. And growing up it really started getting old.
I didn’t understand where the lack of accountability was coming from. So I removed myself from that type of thinking and that denomination. And I started journeying through philosophies and spiritual ideas and faith and other religions and I realized, stop.
It’s easier than that.
Life is beauty, love is life, to live is to love the ability to feel, to sense the emotions that flow through us and bring the ability to enjoy, to envelop what is in front of us, breathing, pulsing, life to live, to be. There’s a massive beauty in what being alive is to me, and the light that our sun cascades over again and again to bring a new day is more than worthy of notice. I love that life is so effortless, and yet so daunting with the call to being human.

The biggest thing is for a call to being responsible and accountable. Whether it’s being a father or just the way I was raised, I feel it’s right. And though the argument to ‘rights and wrongs’ can stack against some fierce mountains, I stand by what I’m stating. Being decent is not a difficult task and being good is a choice that I take to my daily goal and each step I make with intention.
I pray to Light. To love, to beauty, and the splendor that is being graced with having the ability to feel, see, smell, hear, and taste. It’s Light.
