The Simplicity of Spirituality

-

My Spirituality isn't complicated.  Religions can be very complex.  But there isn't anything complex about my Spirituality, unless I find myself explaining my Spirit Guides.  Even they want me to keep it simple.  Except for a few, I often find there is no end to explaining.  I'd rather not try to explain my Guides and how they work.  Then it begins to get complicated.  

My Guides left me with a very simple theology of Human Life.  This is all God cares about.  Even the Afterlife is simple.  Everything about it is simple.  It's not made complex with many, but is simple if I keep it with a few.  There just isn't much complex about it all.  I try to keep my thoughts simple.  There is nothing complex about God at all.  Life itself can be complex enough.  And for me, I'd rather have a few in my circle than many.  

If I could package what I have and market it to many I probably would be very rich, but I've said I don't want to make a penny from my Spirituality and really I haven't.  It's just that everyone's time has value and should it ever come down to money, I may have to re-evaluate my thinking.  But then doing so, would involve many and my Spirituality might be watered down significantly.

And further that would mean my Spirituality becomes a business model that I have avoided since my experience with the Divine.  I have thought about how I expand it to others, but no matter how I did it, then it could become a cult focused around me.  I never wanted that.  But if for some reason I felt my Guides were leading me in that direction, I'd have to totally revamp what it is I do.  

I have given a lot of thought to this in the past thirty years and have decided that how I now spend my time is best for all involved in my life.  I have more time to devote to a few.  And I've always believed in the power of thought.  I believe in the power of meditation.  And not once do I feel as though I waste time.  I do other things besides just sitting here smoking my pipe.  I have a very active mind and I need the quiet.  I can become easily stressed or disturbed.  But I have my own way of dealing with life.

I just focus on one thing at a time.  I know myself very well.   And it helps when I can plan my day.  I just like simplicity after having had a very complex life.  So, I like simplicity and a simple understanding of God.  Nothing complex about it at all.  Even smoking a pioe is relatively simple.  This morning it is my Peterson System pipe with Maple Cavendish and my coffee is Pablo's Best from Guatamala.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
