Personified God
Rectitude. Many gauge their spiritual growth by what degree their actions conform to a doctrine or belief system. Others gauge their progress to what degree their practice of various principles or life style elements shows refinement or “maturity”. To the degree that you can accept these models as actual guidelines for progress and have a…

Personal Will
Sorry I’m late, but it was God’s will. If it was God’s will, then apologies are unneeded. In fact, that is very on topic. We apologise for doing what we want, and we don’t apologise for doing what we don’t want, but which is actually most often the damaging behaviour? When we are “forced” isn’t…

Your Personal God
Why am I thinking of the clobber the groundhog game? Because that’s what you do to the heart of your personal God. Will you please describe your personal God for us? What is the ideal you?

Some say it will only come in conflict that will destroy one party (read Christianity). Others say it will come with the enlightenment of the zeitgeist or spirit/daemon of the…
Category: Rectitude
Rectitude, rightness, how do we gauge the rightness of any situation? There are many models for rectitude, some more impersonal than others. Many gauge their spiritual growth by what degree their actions conform to a doctrine or belief system. Others gauge their progress to what degree their practice of various principles or life style elements shows refinement or “maturity.”
The fundamental challenge of rectitude is reconciliation of the personal God with the collective demon. The point of my questioning is to illustrate the break between personal well being and consensus perception.
Rectitude is “the power of deciding upon a certain course of conduct in accordance with reason, without wavering; to die when it is right to die, to strike when it is right to strike.” Samurai Warrior
“Conscience is merely our own judgment of the moral rectitude or turpitude of our own actions.” John Locke
