SpiritualOdyssey  

Welcome to the Spiritual Odyssey blog! The posts on this blog will come from various authors writing on a wide range of topics. One of our contributors, Tim Brown, has said that Spiritual Odyssey covers, "Meditation, Astral Projection, Opening & Energizing my Chakras and raising my Kundalini, Researching Ancient History, various religions, and delving deeper into the macrocosmic universe that resides within each of us."

Diversity is the key here. I come from a background of traditional Christianity and am an ordained minister in the Christian Church. I welcome this kind of conversation in which we cover as much as possible in exploring how other spiritual traditions lead a person into relationship with God. Do you call the Creator "God?" Maybe you use another term. Fine. It doesn't really matter what label we use, as the primary issue is about connecting with the presence behind the label. Tim concludes his sentence with, "the macrocosmic universe that resides within each of us." Jesus said, "the kingdom of God is within you." Maybe that kingdom is truly a macrocosmic universe. None of us can ever know enough to know all about it. I don't think that being all-knowing is the goal. The paradox is that the more we attune into relationship with the creative power, the less it matters what we know, and yet the more we seem to just innately know.

We have to relax on knowing the stuff and working on knowing the presence within and around us.

So that's what this whole Spiritual Odyssey thing is about. Bring yourself to the table and serve up some food for thought. Post your comments about the blogs that are posted and about our shows. We will monitor all of the comments to glean inspiration for Spiritual Odyssey Radio.
