Welcome
Welcome to Caer Abred: Forum of the Druidic Order of Naturalists

Druidic Naturalism holds that there is only Nature and that the scientific method is the best suited to determine the nature of Nature. This is balanced with an aesthetic response to the world that is in line with that shared by the Druid community as a whole.

Druidic Naturalists will probably tend to be Pantheist, Agnostic or Atheist, yet see in Druidry an appropriate philosophy that allows one to honour ones Land and Ancestors in a way that establishes a healthy, and ethical, relationship with them and with ones fellow creatures.

Druidic Naturalism, as it has developed so far, embraces ritual, art and celebration as effective and satisfying ways to express this secular spirituality.

The man said that the Kingdom of God was within and that after he went he'd leave the Holy Spirit to guide his disciples (in John's Gospel). For me this means he meant that spirituality does not rely on outward institutions but on one's "inner realm".

The idea of the holy Spirit is totally awesome.Also the story is pretty sometimes and his death makes me cry.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Jesus said, that which you have will save you, if you bring it forth from yourselves. That which you do not have within you will kill you, if you do not have it within you (Thomas 70)

I've seen a different version; Jesus said "If you bring foerth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."

Put that another way, when you can express your true nature in a healthy way, your nature becomes beneficial and creative. When you repress what is with you, what you repress becomes inverted in nature and you become self-destructive. It's quite a psychological principal.
