Spirituality 2009

I find that in yoga the hardest exercises for me are the ones that involve "ego eradication". Though it's mainly because they make my arms hurt like a motherfucker.

Ego eradication would be much easier if you saw yourself the way we see you.

That's funny coming from you. Considering my Languish "enemies" are Neil and raz, I guess I should congratulate myself.

Have I risen that far in the ranks?  I remember when I was just a newbie and got in arguments over the definition of "boat".

My religion is totally awesome IMHO.

No.

Martinus considers himself my enemy?  How amusing.

Well, as he is the personification of gayness, you do spend a lot of time attacking him personally.

It's never personal.  Not a person.

Interesting that you should start this thread today. A friend of mine noted last week that when she's not nurturing her spirituality, it's a lot like not getting enough sleep. She becomes crabby, defensive, and downright annoyed at life. But since she doesn't really belong to any organized religion, it's become more difficult to nurture that aspect of her life. I find I have the same problem.

So, together we've decided to spend one night a month tapping into that part of our psyche. As soon as we decided to do that, other women mentioned that they, too, felt that same draw. So, tonight I'm having five other women over to the house to spend time together to meditate and discuss our spiritual needs.

It sounds horribly weird and odd, but in truth I seriously miss the commaraderie of the ritual of going to church on Sunday morning, hearing the mass said, singing the responses, taking communion, etc. What I don't miss is the bs that comes from following a specific religion. This sort of mini-mediation session will hopefully fill that.

Hello there.

No shit.  Going there is like going to a social club by way of a group therapy session.

I wish I had a Languish enemy.

My "spirituality" is pretty much a funky blend of Deism, Stoicism, and "amused misanthropy".

Sounds pretentious.

My religion is totally awesome IMHO.

Negative.  It is stupid, and without moral value.

Morality is a tool of the weak.

Incorrect.  Morality is a tool used by the strong to impose their will on the weak, with their own consent.

No idea what spirituality is.  Not going to bother with it.

I knew I had forgotten one more.

It makes a lot of people a lot of money.

It's like superstition, but without the negative spin.
