Deism is a balanced way of understanding and practicing Spirituality and/or Religion. It incorporates reason, intuition, nature and experience in determining what is believed about God.  It is always evolving, always changing, forever creating.  It may include practices and rituals from several traditions or religions that resonate with one’s individual level of consciousness.

A deist finds in nature (or Natural Law) the answer to, “How can I know God?”  A Deist does not deny that humans have had and still do have direct revelations from God. A Deist merely believes that an intimate revelation from God need not be shared with the world. An individual’s revelation can only be absolutely true for the one it was revealed to.

I personally believe that true Revelations come in feelings and images that must then be processed into thoughts that are understood as words. To put a Divine Revelation into words that others may understand requires it to be filtered through that person’s experiences in this life and past lives. In using words, it loses something. This “something” that is lost lessens its Truth.

As to channeling from a higher form of being, such as, Jane Robert's-Seth or Ester Hicks-Abraham  - I have two comments: (1.) The Ascended being is also limited by its own experience. It may well have expanded knowing, yet it is not All Knowing. (2.) Whatever messages it sends must still be filtered through the human’s language system to be shared with others.

My conclusion to all this is: Believe and act from whatever moves you along on this journey. Live Your Life!  From all the ancient sacred texts and from all the present-day Gurus, we learn a bit of Truth. Though none of them, ancient or 21^st century, have the whole and complete answer. Yet J

Walking Alone

© Carol Hanson - March 23, 2010

As I walk the Good Red Road, The Path, The Way…

I find myself alone, knowing I must find my ground,

My voice that will be revealed only when a song may

Flow through my Soul from the first Creation’s sound.

Will I reach the great destination in this life or must I pay

With still more travels along the less traveled red, red road?

Would I even try to stay on The Path if I knew its mystic way?

Or would I beg & plead for the rest of six feet under ground?

As my footsteps fall more closely in rhythm with my God,

With The heart beat of the Earth, the breathing of the sky,

The ebb and flow of waters, with the sun set and sun rise,

When I reach this perfect balance, I will then have found –

The destination is the journey, and I need not wonder why

The natural law of creation gives such an obvious surprise.
