Choosing a life to follow divinity

Watching this deeply moving documentary about the Catholic Church.

Sadly, I think that the church is getting it wrong. It should be about choosing a life to follow divinity. That does not necessarily mean forgoing physical love or comfort, but means dedicating one’s life first and foremost to something higher.

Most people who have relationships end up living for and in those relationships. They live in and for their family. But people who choose a life to follow divinity should be those who live in a relationship with divinity. I don’t know if that makes sense to many people but it makes perfect sense to me because I feel that that is what I do.

A while back I wrote about a tern called agnitarianism. For me agnitarianism is just the natural progression that a being goes through as it evolves to higher and higher concepts of nourishment and energy.

First people start out perhaps by eating everything. Then the begin to eat more healthily for certain reasons. Then, later, they may give up at least some animal products.

As it progresses along each step, it becomes more and more about energy. Eventually it becomes more about what one does than what one does not. In the earlier stages it is a big progression just to say that one does not do something. One does not eat the flesh of sentient animals, etc.

Eventually it evolves to a state where one does. One partakes of higher energies which are present. One attains a unity through the processes of nourishment at all levels which becomes a blessed communion. This is what agnitarianism is: Being nourished by the holy fire – agni.

This came to me when I was listening to some people speaking about vegetarianism. They were quite wrapped up in their recipes and the ingredients they included and didn’t include, but as they were speaking I keenly felt that it really needs about something more. Ultimately, it needs to be about agni. That is the highest focus of our nourishment, the progression of our process of evolution.

I have also written in the recent past about how even people who choose very pure ways of living are affected by what is around them. Because there is so much fear in this sick culture the ways of thinking, feeling, and responding that we pick up are imbued with that fear even though we ourselves are free of it in our own actions.

We need to break through this type of conditioning. I feel that the path of choosing a life of devotion to divinity is something natural. I do not accept any fear, apprehension, reservation, or negativity about it. We should feel strong in our choice to live holy lives and make holy choices. That part of our lives should be easy.

That does not mean that we do not endeavor to make the monumental and necessary struggles against the dominant paradigms of a sick culture and all that that entails. We are beings who choose to sacrifice ourselves but can also believe in our paths of devotion to the highest cosmic love.
