Mystical

Life has been good to me, in many ways I have lived a full life that most people can only imagine.  On more than one occasion I have been called mysterious.  Of course I am, I am a Scorpio, aren't we supposed to be mystical creatures?  It is safe to say that I have never followed the norm.  Often taking the path less traveled, and on occasion blazing a path where no one has been.

At times, I view it as a curse and other times it is a blessing.  One of the things that I have always been curious about is the mysteries of life and how to live life.  For this reason, I have exposed myself to practically every common religion known and some probably not so common.  At times, I have given thoughts to converting to a few because they most closely align with my thoughts and beliefs.  Through it all and over the years, I never accepted one religion as my own and have many times been 'accused' of practicing "Kevinology."  Now I must admit in my egotistical ways, I kind of like the sound of that but it is not what I am about, more so as time goes on.

Rather it be because people know me, or come to know me, I get in a lot of 'religion' based conversations or have a lot of questions asked of me.  While I am no expert on this topic by any means I feel that I can hold my own.  Also, through the questions and conversations I learn a lot sometimes.

Through all my experiences, it seems that most (all?) religions speak of the same basic thing.  To 'get' to the Creator, (God, Alllah, Buddha, etc), whatever name you are comfortable with.  The 'means' for getting 'home' are largely the same as well regardless of the preferred religion.  Live a good life.  Though the meaning of that may differ from one religion to the other.  Essentially the message is the same from religion to religion, love, peace, tranquility, compassion and charity.  Live your life good so that in the end you meet you 'maker.'  Sister Theresa, once said something along the lines of, we are all striving to reach the same mountain top, we are just taking different paths.  I pray and hope that you find your path.

Increasingly it seems that I encounter those who have questions.  Some of these people seem to be questioning different dogmas, laws and rules.  The greatest wealth I have to offer is let your faith be your religion, not you faith your religion.  What do you believe?  The mount (goal) is basically the same in the end, live your life right, remember and practice the Golden Rue.  This is so simple but can be made so complicated, Love as you want to be Loved, do not attempt to take advantage of others, be diligent, be conscious of the things you do and the affect they have on others, now and in the future.
