is the same as the one I believe in but that is just me), but don't want to get "tied into" or "lured into" the "politics of traditional religion".

So certainly, though nothing new, they serve a positive purpose.

Back to paganism. Do you live in an energy vortex? I do. But is this "junk science", religion, paganism, or just the universe at work.

I do not have the answer but I do know that physicists agree that energy vortexes do exist and some extraordinary things occur if one is in the center of one. I will not go into the details of what an energy vortex does and does not do, simply because I would be making up things that I have not researched carefully. Allegedly if you live in an energy vortex you live in a place where nature blossoms more easily; two examples are Findhorn, Scotland and Hot Springs, Ar (there are many more). In Findhorn, allegedly roses and other flowers are known to grow four to seven sizes larger than a regular rose (other flowers and vegetables too).

Diamonds become bigger (last year the second largest yellow diamond ever found was in Hot Springs, Ar.).

The energy vortex supposedly affects people as well. Crime rate is lower, people are more cheerful, suicide rate is lower, economy is better, etc. Again, I use the word "supposedly" or "allegedly" because I cannot prove it in any way, shape or form.

So as we look back at belief systems, etc. and take off all our "opinion attire" we find, that really people are people no matter what their thought, philosophy or religion.

Some may think they have discovered something new about religion, philosophy, etc. and I say "Good for them. Maybe we can all make good use of it in helping each other along this voyage called life."

In any case, I say study and study hard, if one wants to find answers. I am hardly "there yet"; I am a newbie who is just trying to learn, at age 52, why I'm here, what can I do to make a difference in the world, what G-d wants of me and how he wants me to be of service."

In a way, we are all "newbies"; I don't think the most scholarly minister "graduates" to "know" anything more than the rest of us. There is no privacy code in philosophy and religion It is one thing that is free if we want it to be (that is, our belief systems).

Forgiveness is important. Even if we strongly disagree with someone. I will give you an example. We know that Dr. Jerry Falwell died recently. The attacks were fast and furious. Though I did not agree with Jerry Falwell's philosophies (not most
