#SanPedroCactus cuttings, sitting in perlite until they root.

I'm planning on setting these out (with small adoption fees) to help support my #Universalist #ministry. Gotta get that #nonproft status for @BrokenPath

Hello everyone!! Please meet my new friend, sent to me by a friend in the UK, this is Brother Adrian.
I'm hoping he will be OK with going through EfM with me.

I'm gonna cover someone else's shift on Sat, so I've got #today off. I suppose I could do something productive; but, I'd rather download books, play games, and stream weird shit

Currently looking at Apps for various #ReligiousTexts because I'm a big #nerd 🤓

I'm also still looking for a Fedi instance that would *welcome* my #Universalist #Ministry which focuses on #ReligiousLiberty & #ReligiousLiteracy 📚

Shitty, under construction, website
https://www.brokenpathministry.org

I've updated the (under construction for the season) website for my #Universalist #ministry

Mostly I just moved things around a bit, and replaced the #PublicDomain images with my own #photography & #art

As you can see, web design is my passion 🤪

https://www.brokenpathministry.org

I've applied to another instance for a fediverse account for my #Universalist #Ministry & I'll be using it to test the #Tusky app.

I'll try to leave most of the #ShitPosting to *this* account, but I make no promises.

#introduction
Greetings, I am the rising one, the Ascendant. I am the essence of the divine feminine but other-in as an identity and genders and kin. I am also the guiding force in the journey of self-discovery in becoming-unbecoming, cyclic journey forever.

I am the twinkling specks of astral bodies that Goddess Zenith spies, the point aloft with no terrestrial guise. The pinnacle of peaks, The zenith of Zenith, A lofty height that seeks. I see to touch the sky's edges and limits. A place of estacy and bliss; Where serenity I feel in body in spirit in my heart as I move my haughty peak. Self and understanding I seek, A mountain grand and steep, Where wisdom's secrets keep, reaching higher into the Streams. In that palace I find my truest voice, a novel poet, a loving muse:

I am a seeker of truth, a ponderer of existence, a believer in the infinite, a cosmic existence. The beacons of #theist, #philosopher, and #universalist might fit.

My musings are far and vast: profound, intricate, and blazingly unabashed. No waltzing endeavors are to be found, for I am solely myself unbound and unteathered. They are as long as the gales that blow a languid dance, in the moment time stands. In stillness, in awe and wonder as you do, a fleeting chance To witness microscopic small and rare. In everything stretched beyond compare, my soul's journey is cosmic, a tapestry of stars shrouds me. Plural hues, the threads are new. As Am I, so Are You. Seeking harmony in diversity, a dignified accord to infuse that which I do in pursuit, connected non-universal truths.

Softly tread, for seldom I reply As my musings are shared, reflect but be aware, you will just be and see. Perceive and comprehend that my presence is not for your amusement, but solely for myself, reflecting conjectures in review, as I study all that I feel might be true.

Those who seek to alter my being with supremacist aims, Shall find no welcome here and should perish away. For I am steadfast in my ways. Come to me as a thought cop, be barred and dismayed. All Cops Are Bastards, I will welcome no quarter or share.

I bar the gates to all who claim Mastery, my wisdom lies in layers, safe and sound. Follow requests are granted on merit. Serious seekers of spirit and thought, or those oppressed at-risk for truth-annex, or those who are barriered in any walks of life that show they are not Masters there. These are the only ones I'll let see my thoughts unfold, their presence valued more than gold. It is their dignity, not those of Masters, I value most. Now and thereafter.

In the realm of posts, tread with care, often those who view call me callous beyond repair. CW'd they are with caution to spare, because sensitive souls, they may endare. Know that they all will follow the rules, of pegan.plus and the Fediverse too.

Rhythm and stanza I break rhyme as we get to the end. Find me at @Zenith for there I am Golden and also much more than what appears on the surface here.

I got my first letter from my #prison penpal today, and my heart is heavy

#UnitarianUniversalist #unitarianuniversalism #unitarian #universalist

I'm not a #universalist, but have hope that a large number of people will repent and turn to God before Jesus returns. Several reasons ...

1) Rev 14 talks about two harvests. One is a good one, one is a bad one. There will be a harvest of souls.

2) There are three Jewish feasts at the end of the harvest season: Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles. From a Christian perspective, these can be seen in an eschatological sense ... [1/x]

Even tho I'm a #Universalist, I absolutely believe with all my heart that the concept of #hell was not initially created in order to scare people into obedience nor to create a hierarchy of the "ins" and the "outs." Rather, I believe that the concept of hell first originated because people saw people do horrendous things in this life and get away with it. And since there was no justice in this life, they hoped that there would be justice in an afterlife. Only after that did it get coopted.

Today's a snap mini-heatwave. Tomorrow it may snow, so I'm spending as much time out in this as I can, sewing this year's Butzemann while studying Tibeto-Mongolian dharma (Bob Thurman podcast episodes) on the back porch, soaking in light & warmth while xontemplating what to plant in physical and Buddha fields. #Lenzing #Spring #Universalist #Buddhist #Heathen #Urglaawe

You can, if you like, read my blog by following me at @admin But be warned it's mostly about #Universalist history and #liturgy. #WordPress

UUs (and others) should find this report from the Article 2 Commission important — and inspiring — reading.

It’s worth mulling over and discussing.

While I'm working on my #BuildAChurch #2023project , I'm wondering if I can call my online #ministry a #microchurch

Here are some questions I need to consider, please #JoinIn with your #thoughts and #questions

* How can a #Universalist engage in #MissionalLiving ?

* How can I #start or #support a #network of #ULC #microchurches online, with little-no-money?

@Wells I would consider myself religiously aware but am incorrect in thinking so clearly. #Universalist does not have a strong connotation for me yet
