How Far Out Shall You Go?



If you are reading these words, you probably have a spirituality that is open and accepting of things that fall outside of what your society thinks of as “normal.”

Perhaps you need more drama in your life and are looking to start a conflict. 

We cannot help those of you in the latter category. We hope you find your choices happy and fulfilling.

To the former, we say, “Good for you,” it is such a relief to take a small step out of the closet. 

Do you, simply, not go to a conventional church and have a few friends who think as you do? Do you meditate? Cast spells? Read blogs written by fairies?

Taking those steps can be hard, but the more “out” you get the more you can sigh with relief at not needing to hide yourself.


The friends who are true friends will understand. Some will even ask questions or join you in your spiritual activities. 

Others will, simply, fall out of your life. When that happens, you will feel that huge sense of release, as though a giant rubber band has just snapped. You will also find that for each person who exits your life, two or more will enter.

The energy you spend hiding yourself can be used for much more inspirational and creative pursuits.

You will find that friends who have been an enriching part of your life will not care or have suspected your wonderful weirdness all along. 

Exit the closet at your own pace. Test the environment to be sure that you are ready for the emotional impact of your choice.

Then run, strut, leap and dance your way out of the closet! Chances are, you will not be dancing alone. ~Silas

Stuck in the Spiritual Closet?

Your spiritual life and your "normal" life are not two different entities. 

Many of you are reluctant to "come out of the closet" because you will be judged for your beliefs and customs. 

You don't need to come out of the closet. The closet doesn't exist. Your spiritual beliefs can only create tension if  feel that they must.


So, why not feel something different. Instead of talking about your spiritual life, live it. Allow it to be a part of everything that you do. 

Better yet, put your heart in charge of your actions. 

This is not the same as "falling in love". You "fall" because you have no control, you are helpless against the strong feelings you have for another. You allow them to fill in your gaps as you fill theirs. 

Acting with your heart means asking yourself how you feel about your actions. It means getting in touch with the love you have within, and allowing that feeling to lead you. 

When you act from love you will never be wrong, you will not have to preach or pretend to be someone you are not. 

If your spirituality comes from a book, a building or a person, then it is useless. Spirituality comes from having a connection with Spirit. 

If your book, church building or minister helps you to get there, then continue on that path. Just know that others may follow a different path. Fortunately, there is only one destination, so you will all get there eventually. 

The map is inside you. ~Silas.
