In the minds of some, perhaps many, the words religion and Christianity have taken on a negative connotation because some of the people who claim to represent it have too often behaved badly. They want to shove their standards down our throats. Some of the leaders are hypocrites living their secret lives. This is what the inherently secular so-called News industry shows the world, almost never displaying the good. The results are proportionally devastating. If all the leaders of Christianity behaved as they preached, there would be no News of them and we'd all be the richer. Between they and the corrupt behavior of some Christian leaders, it's a one-two punch that is knocking religion out of the box.
I wish to offer you a new way of looking at faith ergo spirituality. Using passages from an ancient manuscript known as the Bible in the context of the Plant Kingdom (Plants of the Bible), I will demonstrate to you how I see what was meant to be from the beginning.
I use the word unity, small u, to represent whatever deity, source or inner spiritual depths is contained within your body, soul, heart and spirit. I want unity not to be a noun but a verb, in that, it is a living, moving, loving, unifying on-going event that is meant to enrich and transform your faith. My hope is to show you a way to being a beacon of hope for others while not lording it over them.
I hope as you check this site from time to time and absorb what I have to say it will be useful in your life.
Should you want to know more about my unity approach to spirituality, click any of the plant Page(s) in the right hand column without the asterisk. Should you want to full meal deal, my book Your Garden, Your Eden is for you, for which an **asterisked Page is present in the right hand column. It contains 313 pages covering 180 plants with almost 400 graphics. Bible plants have a single *asterisk.
Everybody has a story to tell and many want a way to put in print but don't know where to start. If you are one of those, select The Orphan Press in the right hand column.
Blessings Always,
Vern Schanilec
