On Labels

“A name is a label, and as soon as there is a label, the ideas disappear and out comes label-worship and label-bashing, and instead of living by a theme of ideas, people begin dying for labels... and the last thing the world needs is another religion.” Richard Bach, author of 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' — “A name is a label, and as soon as there is a label, the ideas disappear and out comes label-worship and label-bashing, and instead of living by a theme of ideas, people begin dying for labels… and the last thing the world needs is another religion.”
Richard Bach, author of ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’

I recently changed my Twitter bio from a long list of descriptors to just FREE SPIRIT. It’s the only label that I feel truly at peace with because I am not a static being and I can’t stand being put in a box and labeled. So I figured that if I don’t want people to label me, then I have to stop labeling myself.

Today’s mantra: live free.

  Spiritual stylist – what I mean by this phrase is that each individual has their own way of connecting to God, to divine love energy. I talk to people, who come to me, about how they can create their own way of feeling the connection that is already there and accessing that inner wisdom, as God is within the temple, the body. My style of that is different from your style. Some people ask for help because they do not feel as connected as they want to. I am merely an aid, give suggestions that fit with their lifestyle. Hope that makes sense. Love to you and your day beloved.
