Accountability

In last weeks "The Sunday Spirit" I wrote in the second feature "Self hate is a crime against the universe. It is a crime against God and A crime against yourself." After having time to reflect on the use of that language, I have chosen to shift the word "crime" to "dis-service." The reason I have done this is because I do not want to suggest that the universe is a punitive entity. I also do not want to enforce the judeo-christian concept of "wrong" and "right". What I desire to convey ultimately is that it I believe it is hurtful, and a dis-service to the universe to abuse ourselves and to abuse others. I hope that message gets through.
Even the language of Spiritual law is complicated for me. I think a better use of language would be spiritual principles, as I don't believe the universe exacts punishment, it merely reciprocates what is has been given. I am not sure if anyone besides myself picked up on this language. Even if no-one did, It's important for me to be accountable to the ideas that I replicate into the universe. And this is just one example. I hope for anyone who may have picked up on that, that you were still able to enjoy the piece and grasp the broader spiritual message I was trying to communicate. I will always do my best to hold myself accountable, and I ask that you always know that I am open to your feedback, thoughts, and challenges.

With Much Love
