Ask away!! That's what everyone is here for. Just try to be clear in your postings. I mean no offense, and I see you are in Hong Kong, but I sometimes have a little trouble understanding what you mean... Again, no offense intended. I wish that I spoke Indian or Chinese... smile

Yes, one should try to learn. beyond a point learning does not help.
Because there is so much to learn. After that we take the path shown by Guru in India.

To me the deity within is the spiritual side.. the soul, the spirit, the inner being. I am a Mystic Jew. I have very pagan thinking almost mystic/kabbalistic mixed with my Jewish identity.

I think it is a matter of what feels right to you. What you are drawn to and feel.

We all have an inner g-ddess and g-d within us.

it has taken YEARS of understanding and education to come to this stance. I enjoyed the process so much I declared a religion/philosophy minor.

This question is very interesting to me. As a skeptic and an atheist with deist leanings, I try to refrain from attributing human emotions to the universe, but I certainly understand the practicality of trying to relate to the universe on your own terms. Therefore, I have no problem with creating a human image or "god" to represent the creative force of the universe, as long as one does not take it too seriously.

As concerns pagans, I guess my quesition is therefore always this: Do you believe that that avatars/deities that you pray to are actual entities, or do you perceive them as human-created images/icons that help you concentrate on and contemplate the create force of the universe, which they represent?

In other words, are you a true polytheist (one who believes in many gods), or a pantheist (one who believes that the universe is infused with "godliness")?
