The Isms of Religion

There are many, many “isms” regarding religious beliefs and practices. The two most well known would be polytheism and monotheism.

Polytheism: the belief in and worship of more than one/multiple gods or deities. Ancient Egyptian/Kemetic and Greek religions were polytheistic. Some modern day examples are certain forms of Hinduism and various neopagan revival movements.

Monotheism: relatively new compared to polytheism, this is the belief and worship in a single god or deity. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are the best examples of monotheistic religions, but even in some cases (mainly Christianity), this concept can get tricky. This will be discussed shortly.

So what other isms exist besides these two? Well let’s take a look.

Atheism: Many atheists further emphasize that atheism itself is not “a religion,” but quite the opposite, being instead the simple lack or absence of any “religion” whatsoever. On the other hand, some religions such as Buddhism and Jainism can be characterized as “atheistic” in nature, insofar as they do not recognize the existence of god(s).[x] But even then, this will vary on geography; for example, there are gods in Tibetan Buddhism, albeit they are seen as a level below a Buddha. In addition, atheism historically did not always mean the absence of belief in a god/gods. It could also mean an individual did not believe in the “mainstream” practices at the time; an example would be early Christians in the Roman Empire. The Romans generally liked to incorporate the deities of conquered lands to their practices, and would allow conquered peoples to continue practicing their own religions. However, since the Christians denied all other gods including the Roman ones, they were declared atheists and faced rebuttal from their neighbors (this is much more detailed and complicated scenario, but for another post).

Agnosticism: This term comes from the Greek gnosis (meaning “knowledge”), but modified with that same sort of negating “a-“ prefix that turns theism (the belief in God or gods) into atheism (the lack of belief in God or gods). So, agnosticism (literally “a-gnosticism,” denoting a lack or absence of gnosis or knowledge) simply refers to being “without knowledge,” one way or the other, regarding God (or gods). Strictly speaking, agnosticism technically refers to the view that definite knowledge about God is impossible or unavailable; colloquially, however, agnosticism is often used more loosely by many people to refer to their persistent personal uncertainty, one way or the other, about the existence of God. Many agnostics so identify themselves simply as a shorthand means of indicating their own noncommittal indecision — a kind of “the jury is still out” position, somewhere midway between theism and atheism, neither fully believing nor fully disbelieving but suspending judgment and remaining open to either possibility. [x]

Animism: Polytheism frequently occurs in indigenous religions blended almost seamlessly with animism (from the Latin anima, meaning “life,” “life force,” “soul,” “spirit”), a view which holds that the world is filled not only with gods per se but also with a vast multitude of spirits of all sorts. Life or “spirit” is ubiquitous, according to animism, with even seemingly “inanimate” objects — rocks, mountains, rivers, wind — often regarded as “alive” insofar as they are each believed to be “ensouled,” each such natural feature possessing a separate and distinct spirit of its own. Add to this mix of gods and nature spirits the lingering (and often meddling, or otherwise influential) spirits of deceased ancestors, and the spiritual universe of polytheistic and animistic cultures begins to look like a pretty crowded place! [x]

Deism: This term comes from the Latin deus, which (like the Greek theos) simply means “god.” (Such terms as “deity,” “divinity,” and “divine” are also etymologically related to deus.) Accordingly, deism literally translates as “god-ism” (just as theism does, too). One might therefore be forgiven for assuming that deism and theism are synonymous — two alternative terms for the exact same thing. However, such an assumption would be incorrect. In practice, Deism as a distinctive term has come to refer quite specifically to a particular religious perspective (one quite distinct from the monotheism of traditional Christianity) that came to prominence during the 17th and 18th centuries, in the wake of the European Enlightenment. Deism holds that God initially created the universe, but subsequently left it to its own devices, allowing it to run unencumbered by further divine adjustment, guidance, or meddling. Deists therefore do not believe that God ever interferes with natural law, or intervenes in human history; hence Deism affirms no miracles, no prophecies, and no divine revelations. [x]

Henotheism: Another relatively new term for an ancient p.o.v., henotheism refers to the worship of one god while simultaneously acknowledging other gods. In other words, henotheists need not deny the existence of multiple gods, all of whom may be legitimately worthy of worship, but they choose to devote themselves only to one specific god (out of all the available gods). Vaishnava Hindus, for example, may primarily worship Vishnu or any of His incarnations, but still acknowledge other gods such as Shiva.

Omnism: Omnism is the recognition and respect of all religions; those who hold this belief are called omnists (or Omnists). In recent years, the term has been emerging anew, due to the interest of modern day self-described omnists who have rediscovered and begun to redefine the term. It can be thought of as syncretism taken to its logical extreme. However, it can also be seen as a way to accept the existence of various religions without believing in all that they profess to teach. Many omnists say that all religions contain truths, but that no one religion offers all that is truth. [x]

Pantheism: this term refers to the belief that God is in everything and everything is in God. The pantheist view maintains that there is no personal God as such, and that “God” and creation are one and the same. Whereas traditional monotheistic religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam typically maintain that God alone is divine, pantheism asserts that everything is divine, because everything is God. Like everything else, pantheism comes in various forms; some versions of pantheism amount to little more than reducing God to a synonym for nature or the cosmos, which is considered sacred in and of itself. [x]

Panentheism: Whereas straight pantheism insists that God and the universe are identical, panentheism allows that God “contains” the universe within him/her/itself, while also extending beyond the universe (so that God is not limited to, or exclusively contained within, the cosmos).

Trinitarianism: This term mainly applies to the Christian churches who maintain that God is a Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). As mentioned in the beginning of this post, such a view has caused confusion and controversy for believers and non-believers alike over the past millenia. It is understandably confusing to claim that a religion is monotheistic while also saying that God is Three distinct Persons. However, Trinitarian theology is a topic for another post. However, triune natures of deities are not limited to just Christianity. Check this post out for more information.

Unitarianism: On the other hand, this term is often used by Christian churches who affirm that God is not of a tri-fold nature. It can also refer to other religious views that hold strict monotheistic views of God, such as Islam, which claims that God can neither beget nor be begotten (i.e., Jesus being the son of God).

Quantum physics shows you that the world is not the hard and unchangeable thing it may appear to be. Instead, it is a very fluid place continuously built up using our individual and collective thoughts and states of being as a society, country, family, planet, solar system, or universe. We have begun to uncover the illusion.

How to Discover Your Life Purpose with Tarot

You may have more than just one passion. But which is meant to give your soul ultimate satisfaction?

Step 1: Prepare your deck.

Remove the Major Arcana, the Pages and the Knights. Set them aside.

You should have 48 cards left: the Minor Arcana’s aces through tens, the Queens and the Kings.

Step 2: Ask 12 times.

Shuffle your cards as you ask, “What do the powers that be declare this incarnation’s purpose to be?”

Focus intently, ensuring you do not stumble on the words. In case you do, stop. Take three deep breaths, and begin the count from one again.

Step 3: Read the rogues.

If, while shuffling, certain cards jumped out of the deck, read them there and then, using the meanings you know.

They are clues from the divine. The positive-leaning cards are what will help you achieve your purpose, and the negative-leaning ones are the obstacles you need to overcome.

Step 4: See the answer.

Turn over your shuffled deck, so that the cards are facing you.

Set aside the first 11 cards from the bottom. The 12th is your answer.

Step 5: Heed your purpose.

The Aces

Your life purpose is not only to accept or love yourself, but to admire and worship it. Your past lives were filled with insecurity and self-loathing. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to set that right.

The Twos

Your life purpose is not only to experience material abundance, but to revel in it. Your past lives overflowed with nothing but scarcity and lack. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to experience the opposite of that.

The Threes

Your life purpose is not only to speak your mind but to be admired for it. You had no voice in any of your past lives. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to sing to the world and know what it is like to be applauded.

The Fours

Your life purpose is to have a family that you love and loves you back. Your past lives were filled with discord and betrayal at home. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to know what it is like to have a true family.

The Fives

Your life purpose is not only to feel but to radiate lasting happiness. Your past lives were riddled with heartbreak, misery and grief. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to smile as you conquer all your demons.

The Sixes

Your life purpose is to be healthy, both in mind and in body. Your past lives reeked of sickness and malady. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to heal yourself and live a life free of decay and disease.

The Sevens

Your life purpose is not only to love and be loved, but to spend forever with your one true love. Your past lives were cursed with loneliness. In this incarnation, the powers that be want your heart to finally fuse with another.

The Eights

Your life purpose is to hold power over others. In your past lives, you were at the bottom of the ladder. Never the leader, always a follower. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to command respect and fear.

The Nines

Your life purpose is to learn the meaning of life. In some of your past lives, you toiled. In others, you harvested. But you are yet to know what any of it meant. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to discover the answer.

The Tens

Your life purpose is to achieve fame. In your past lives, you never left a legacy. You lived and died, and nobody knew but your family. In this incarnation, the powers that be want the sun to shine on you, so you may at last be seen.

The Queens

Your life purpose is to give other souls healing and happiness. In your past lives, you have known love, joy and fulfillment. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to help others achieve what you have already enjoyed.

The Kings

Your life purpose is to unveil the other side. In your past lives, you were worldly. Nothing but the material mattered to you. In this incarnation, the powers that be want you to glimpse the supernatural and live beyond the physical.

simplified version of Neville's sayings*ੈ✩‧₊˚*

Cuz he be talking in riddles 😭 but I got you!👽

1. "Man’s chief delusion is his conviction that there are causes other than his own state of consciousness." → Everything happening in your life comes from your thoughts and beliefs. Nothing outside of you is the real cause—only your mind is.

2. "The drama of life is a psychological one and the whole of it is written and produced by your assumptions." → Life isn’t random. Everything you experience is the result of what you assume to be true for you.

3. “Feeling is the secret.” → Don’t just think it—feel it deeply.

4. “You are already what you want to be.” → Stop chasing and start being that person now.

5. “Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live.” → Think differently about yourself, and your life will shift to match.

Go get itttt ! <3 + 222

this is not wasted time. time spent healing and growing and letting yourself feel all the things is never wasted.

Since there is a lot of talk about twin flames, and most of it is highly opinionated and mostly false, I am making a comprehensive list of links to articles and videos explaining what soul connections actually are and how to determine which one you have.

There is no excuse for ignorance. Please educate yourself.

Youtube videos: https://youtu.be/NzmUkvuNqqU https://youtu.be/45s_qLsWpJE https://youtu.be/YMpwVRtwm5Q https://youtu.be/AtRvseK6qXw https://youtu.be/SuytPrtS4HE https://youtu.be/5Kz8ESOYCME

You do not need to, nor should you ever manifest someone even if they are your twin flame. If they are meant to be yours they will be, if not, then not. It creates a toxic relationship. It takes away their free will. By the laws of the universe it is unethical, and will create negative karma.
