Hi all,
I am still working on the birthday entry as I want to post some photo's in the members area and I have not had all of my birthday celebrations yet. So that is a work is progress at the moment!
Just for today's entry I wanted to concentrate on the Pagan belief that there are two sides, (at least), to everything. Light and dark are two sides of the same coin, and not two separate, and warring entities, as perceived by some religions for instance. There is light and shadow in everything, and both, in the right circumstances are correct.
Being as I am a believer in the paranormal and spiritual worlds I thought it was only right that I investigated the skeptical side of things. So last night I attended a meeting for skeptics and listened to a talk by a speaker who was a physicist and also believed in the paranormal. Then there were questions and answers. It was incredibly interesting and I had some very detailed, (and a little bit heated), discussions with people.
The picture that you see above emphasizes to two predominant sides of human nature. The dragon (the shadow) side and the fairy (the light or iridescent) side. And both are valid and necessary.
So for the skeptics :-
"Materialists and mad men never have doubts". (G.K.Chesterton)
And for those who claim to know, (as opposed to believe) :-
"Doubt is not a pleasant condition but certainty is an absurd one". (Voltaire)
Until next time,
Blessed be,
KK
PS Whilst researching on another subject I also came across two other quotes I thought worthy enough to bring to your attetnion. As you know I recently turned 50 and so am entering my croning years. Many changes have occurred and some of them have thrown me. In a rapidly changing world many people are fearful but the Universe works in mysterious ways and for those who fear change read this:-
"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world,the Master calls....the butterfly."---Richard Bach, author
And finally to skeptics this:-
"For those who believe, no proof is necessary, for those who do not believe, no proof is possible."--John & Lyn St. Clair Thomas, Eyes of the Beholder.
