My religion is a search for truth along the ways of knowledge,
experience and inquiry. This is a task that is mainly accomplished by
the seeker with a little help from the teachers that are met along the
way. The deities that are encountered are treated with the same
respect that is due to any other individual or spirit. One's own mind,
body and spirit are also accorded the same respect. Encountering one's
personal deity or spirit is a returning home experience. The
relationship is one of close family based on a mutual love, honor and
respect. It is also based on wisdom, knowledge and a sense of justice.
That is the answer to all of your questions.
