KELLOG's CREED

Welcome, and thanks for spending the time to read this.  It's been about 25 yrs since I first heard the gist of the below Creed. I'm sharing it here - because following it has provided a skeleton for my/others' performance, bringing me to a "good" place.  If you follow it - it can do the same for you.  (this ain't advice - I don't waste time with that shit.)  Consider it courtesy in direction.  That's what all this 'spiritual' yada yada for enlightenment is all about, kids --- if ya can't gain a balance of control, it don't make much sense to throw out the bathwater with the baby still in it.


Back when I was a lean mean �?/FONT>Wanna be Warrior of the Wurld�? my Guild (Floating Hand House) teacher put a demand upon me. Perhaps "Demand" is a unfair word;  in my training, Everything was a demand. 

It was part of the "agreement for training." Every teacher or organization (Guild, coven, society, etc.) has one --- whether it be highly structural and bombastic --- or be it a simple dialogue between teacher and student, shared on a Tuesday afternoon in a soft, green, airy place. At that time, being a badass stone cold "catch the Great Dark One and stomp it" kinda person, I thought little of the agreement.   Duh.  Spatial Time, hard-to-the-bone experience, loss, and finally, personal enlightenment (crude as it is) ...allowed me to View this agreement again, at an older age

...and become illuminated through the self-actualization

What the hell does all that shit mean?

In words maybe more precise: My teacher was sharper than I was. It took some years for me to catch up to her enlightenment, with my own. During that time, I learned the hard way --- but I learned.

What I realized was the Creed she asked me to embrace, as my spiritual guide...was actually my road map as well. It is a personalized "how-to" of spiritual growth.       Period.

So here is Kellog's Creed. Forgive me the irony of assuming a personalization on a set of instructions "owned" by everyone...everyone sharp enuf to notice their noses on their faces every morning, in the Mirror --- or perhaps in their Minds�?Eye.     I think you can derive usefulness from it. If not - I did my part to drag you screaming this far  


1: Don’t let anyone rule over your mind.

2: We are all masters --- but don’t EVER call yourself one. Be gently cautious of those who do.

3: Listen to the folks around you - then listen some more. Allow thoughts outside your ken to spring gently. (suspend disbelief)

4: Nothing of value in this Wurld ever comes without effort. Pay chilled scrupulous attention.

5: Everyone has something to teach; allow their perspectives to Illuminate you.

6: If you learn nothing else in your trip through the Wurld --- learn self discipline.

7: Patience and kindness are the virtues you need desperately --- here, and in the Far Land.

8: Treat all others as you wish to be treated, whether you understand why or not.

8a: Violence should always be the last resort; besides, it is usually the clumsy resort. Harm no one who is not harming you. If harm approaches, use strategy to deflect or derail.

9: Build your Etiquette as though you will greet the Gods tomorrow morning �?because you may .

10: Never let 'em see ya sweat.Thanks for listening - now go build your Path in the Wurld.   yeowza

Bridging Heaven & Earth Show #82w/ Carolyn Kleefeld & Lessia:  Personal creativity and expression.  "Lessia's songs reflect a sincere belief that every person has a special and unique voice in the world...  Her newly published book, "The Alchemy of Possibility; Reinventing Your Personal Mythology" is at once a universal handbook for creative growth and an intimate record of one artist's passionate journey to the edges of perception."   (This is a one hour show.)

TAEKWONDO - SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF KOREA:  Martial Arts and Culture. 
 
My Spiritual Journey:  All text but a nice, short story of spiritual exploration.  I talk to a lot of people who have an experience something like this as they find the right spirituality for themselves.  Often what is right changes over time.
