Easter Sunday

Because I had Easter dinner the day before I pretty much stayed at home and relaxed today, with the exception of making a run for coffee, and doing work on my website. Then I had some sushi for dinner, that was the extent of my Easter. 

For me, Easter Sunday is another day to look at my life and see the areas where I can come out of my cave so to speak. That's how I think of my conscious mind. It's supposed to be the part of my mind that is active when I'm awake, but in reality, it keeps me asleep. 

So I looked at a number of areas of my life and decided to make some changes. I was raised a Roman Catholic Christian, and still consider myself to be one, but I haven't been going to Mass as of late. In part because of some jabs from the pastor of my church which may, or may not, have been directed at me. 

He was talking about psychics and talking to dead people. I felt at the fringes of my Church anyway, and this was enough to alienate me altogether. But last night I took up the practice of saying the Rosary again. 

I thought it was a start, a way, of reconnecting with God in a deeper way. Sooner or later I'll find myself going to daily Mass again. 

I know it's fashionable to knock religion these days in favor of being "spiritual," but for me that's not what's going on. I've been told by spirits on many occasions that one of the lessons of this life is reconnecting with God. That's what the word "religion" means.

It comes from the Latin word, "religare," "to bind together."  For me, this life is a "vacation," and someday I'm going back home. I'm not interested in the rules of religion. I am interested in connecting with what is greater than my self. By that I not only mean God, but all of those I share this planet with. 

Wishing you  the very best life has to offer to you, 
Anthony
