I am a child of the Universe.
I carry perfection within me.
I am protected by my Mother the Earth.
I deserve to be loved.
Somewhere, the person I seek is seeking me.

Shift in Purpose
I've been thinking about what to use this blog for and I've decided to revise its purpose to be an exploration of my spiritual development. Any of the few who visited this page already will notice that I have made myself largely anonomoyous. This will allow me to point to and from my presence on messge boards at iVillage and BeliefNet and maintain the same recogizable username

Religion Quiz
Earlier tonight, I took Beliefnet's Belief-O-Matic quiz.
Here's what Beliefnet says about their rankings:
Remember: The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.
Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in the order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.
These are my rankings.
1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. New Age (94%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (91%)
4. Mahayana Buddhism (89%)
5. New Thought (82%)
6. Liberal Quakers (80%)
7. Scientology (80%)
8. Theravada Buddhism (76%)
9. Reform Judaism (76%)
10. Hinduism (70%)
11. Jainism (70%)
12. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (65%)
13. Sikhism (64%)
14. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (62%)
15. Secular Humanism (62%)
16. Taoism (58%)

Blog Start
So I've decided to start a Blog. I breifly considered whether to use software or write my own and decided that if anyone has a good tool it's Google. There's a lot of stuff I might discuss here. It could be an excellent place to keep friends and family informed of events in my life both academically and personally. I'd also like to use this as a place to ponder spirituality. I might also spend some time writing about my current projects at work.
