A place for spiritual discussion of all kinds. All faiths and beliefs welcome.

This is a space for exploration, not proselytizing. Share your truth, but leave room for others to discover theirs. Rational discourse and lived experience is welcome; dogma and demands are not.

RULES

  1. No dogma. Whatever system you want to follow is yours to follow as you feel best but don't try to impose it on others, or otherwise shame others for not doing things your way. Discussing the tenets of your system is fine but know the difference between "this works for me", "this is the only correct way" and "this is what the teachings say".

  2. No bigotry, hate, racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia etc. 0 tolerance policy.

  3. No AI slop, or spam. No paywalled content. Limited self-promotion is fine but it shouldn't be your sole reason of posting here. Active posters engaging positively get more leniency.

  4. No soliciting or offering services of any kind.

MODERATORS
 

Great conversation that gets into the nuance of spiritual practices that call for "purity" or forgiveness, or even compassion in the face of oppression. A lot of people understandably find the idea of forgiving harmful behavior distasteful but Rasmussen explains how it works for your benefit without approving it, and how you're going to be far better resourced to take tangible action against harm when you're not fueling impotent anger.
