My real name doesn't matter. I've decided that the only way to really talk about things that do matter is to take a name my friends and family will not recognize.
It's not that I'm going to talk--at least not always--about anything that shocking. As the title suggests, this blog will mostly concern explorations of a spiritual nature. My viewpoint at this step in my adventure is definitely New Age, and decidedly non-fundamentalist, though I do consider myself Christian. I've spent the longest part of my church-going life thus far in the Unity movement, have deep Wiccan sympathies, and have recently begun to associate with Sophian Gnostics. I have friends, however, who are born-again Christians; and family members and other entanglements who are deeply skeptical agnostics--and I have no desire to upset them, argue with them, or flinch at their scorn. In my real life, I have trouble voicing my opinions on books, film, and music, let alone anything more important and more controversial. So I have decided to become Marie. As Marie, I invite discussion and commentary, and hope to be able to contribute--even in the smallest, humblest way--to the enlightenment process of all humankind. This same enlightenment process is what will make the kingdom of heaven a reality on earth.
