Recently I joined a group that discussed spiritual ideas. What I found interesting was the challenge I suddenly had to speak about what I believe in a public forum. Thankfully one of the other attendees facilitated things by asking direct questions to the group like “Do you believe in reincarnation?” which when just about everyone put their hands up meant everyone felt a bit more relaxed about what they were going to talk about.
Have you been challenged to talk about your spiritual beliefs and decided that you weren’t going to? What if it was someone close to you that you knew would reject you if you spoke about these ideas? Do you try anyway and risk losing them as a friend, do you try anyway and hope that they’ll accept you as you are, do you try anyway with the possibility you might find they’re just as interested as you but couldn’t talk about it either, do you try anyway in case you might be able to convert them to your way of thinking, or do you not try?
We need more forums for spiritual discussion as many people believe the same things but not many want to discuss it in the real world.
If you have a local spiritual discussion group that needs more members, feel free to post details of it in the comments at the bottom of this post. You’d be surprised at the amount of traffic this site gets for a particular post, months after the post has been made.
