I believe in a thing called love

Just listen to the rhythm of my heart

There's a chance we could make it now

We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down

I believe in a thing called love, hoo-ooh

But thats enough Darkness for today.

I just believe in being a decent person. I don't think karma exists, plenty of good people and plenty of bad people do well in life. But I want to sleep at night so I won't be a dick.

Religiously I believe in nothing. I think saying spiritual is a cop out (no offence meant to anyone there) but ultimately when we die we are done. Hopefully a few people will miss me and they will occasionally remember me and smile.

Thats about it

What a lovely topic/ thread - thank you, Bloomy!

So I do not follow a religion, do not believe in any deity but kind of see humanity in others and in a way that is my religion. Sounds more pompous than it actually is. I just think making our lives better with any little help... has to be a good religion.

Religion meaning... from the word itself... a binding to something, an obligation.

Do what you want others to do to you, dont do what you would not want to have done to you.

And maybe try a little more of the good stuff when you can. And I am really, no REALLY no saint.

Over time. And probably as a coping mechanism I think.

Believing that the really bad stuff had to happen (although I'm foggy on the reasons) and that there must be good things ahead helped me when rock bottom turned out to just be the ground floor and there was a whole load of subterranean levels.

I believe in the sentiments expressed in the song 'I Believe'. It doesn't actually mention a deity but does mention 'a prayer' and 'someone in the great somewhere'. Quite subtle. I choose to apply it to the human race, human nature and Mother Nature. But then I'm an optimist.

Tight harmonies as well by the way

Or touch a leaf

When I self-publish my book I'll let you know

Any recommendations on books on Taoism? I've read a couple of translations of the Tao Te Ching as well as 'the Tao of Pooh' but I haven't come across too many that have been recommended.

Ultimately, I think all religions have the same ideas and practices at their core. Some have just managed to not get hijacked as much by political institutions.

The overlap between the 'Eastern' spiritual traditions is obvious, but there are a lot of similarities to be found in the writings of some Christian writers like Meister Eckhart. Some Christian Monks used to practice meditation similar to Buddhism.

You don't have to be the smartest, most talented, or even able to do things the fastest. Life's not a race, take your time, work hard, back yourself. And eventually the cream will rise to the top.

Nothing. Stuff happens in accordance with the laws of physics - some of which we don't know.

Some great replies. I read somewhere recently the numbers of times on average during our life we suffer a major devastating event like life changing illness/injury, unemployment , death of someone close, financial crisis, homelessness etc.

I’m extremely resilient and resourceful but no one is immune to suffering. I think a good test of your faith , belief whatever is how your character holds up during extreme suffering , the story of Job is a great lesson in this

'Virtue never tested is no virtue at all' I completely agree that the real test of our beliefs and character is under the greatest pressure. Some hold up better than others for sure.

"My philosophy is very simple...

Give family love

Give friends respect...

And hopefully vice versa

Really like that, one for the mental notebook.

I believe in my "self".

I believe that what you project will reflect.

I believe that there's much more to "self" than anybody knows.

I think our understanding of 'the self is still one of the great scientific and philosophical questions.

I believe that fundamentally we are all driven by love and wanting to feel a sense of belonging. Whether it be love of another, love of a God or love of something else, we all want to feel it and we want to feel accepted and welcomed by whoever that love is directed towards.

I also believe in the scientific method, as a way of exploring and understanding the universe.

It is in my opinion. So many people seek what they need outside of their "self". I'm not sure it's there. I think that the words "God created man in his own image" should be the other way round

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you - not religeous, but totally agree with this!
