Welcome!!! You have entered a space where all people are invited to gather to discuss matters of Spirituality, in mutual respect and friendliness: "Considering...Spirituality." Here, the focus is on personal spirituality and not dogma. We welcome with open arms people from any, all, and no religious/faith backgrounds, and those who practice spirituality on their own, to join us for a discussion centered on a higher consciousness. Each day there will be a quote, question, or discussion prompt presented for all to ponder and respond to.
**In maintaining an atmosphere of comfort and trust, we do not allow proselytizing (the effort of trying to convert others) or the denigrating of the religions and viewpoints of others. We also avoid bringing up topics such as politics, hot button social issues, or anything that can be considered divisive**
As this is a WW board, we also discuss our personal wellness, including our weight management program. We share our struggles and our triumphs regarding such as well as discuss things like family, friends, jobs, hobbies, outside interests, etc... We strive to build each other up with loving support in a positive manner. Let us not ever tear one another down in any way, shape or form.
Regular thread starters for the time being are:
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: Gary
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: Holly
Yet if anyone is so inclined, please feel free to start a new thread by beginning with the title: "Considering....(topic -q/q)", post this introduction (by way of copy & paste) then follow that with a post putting forth a question and/or quote (with or without some explanation) for us to ponder today. The topic can be inspired by your personal faith, but please do remember that anyone from other spiritual paths should be able to answer it.
Shalom, Love & Light, Blessed Be, Namaste...

As I mentioned yesterday, this week we’re reading Numbers 25:10–30:1. Toward the end of the selection, Moses appoints Joshua as his successor. We are told that Joshua was someone in whom there was spirit; Moses is to lean his hand upon Joshua and present him to the priest and to the entire community and charge him in front of everyone to become the leader after himself (Moses). By doing so, Moses places some of his prestige upon Joshua so that the entire community will “get” that they are to “obey” him.
q/q: What are some qualities of leadership and loyalty that Joshua showed? Do you share any with Joshua? Without getting into the current presidential candidates, which of Joshua’s qualities do you think THEORETICALLY would make a good leader for a next President of the United States?
