Re: Druidic Roles in Counseling and Prison Ministry Daven daven@davensjournal.com Mon Mar 10 18:45:16 2003 *br*: F/|\ A difference in traditions perhaps. In our *br*: community a gift requires a gift, and I have no *br*: right to ask, unless I am prepared to give back...*p*Yes different trads. *p*: F/|\ I want to determine right action as according *br*: to the Wisdom Triads, Heptads and Brehon Laws, for *br*: then, I can be true to myself. *p*Ah, I think I see some of the communication problem. You are looking for legal answers, and I am coming from a position of the Spirit.*p*90% of my worldview is "what feels right" and I do think the law needs to be considered when making a decision, but only as a guideline, or there is no room for mercy.*p*So, I advocate looking within and asking your Center, which I believe is a direct pipeline to the God's and what is best for the Druid in question, thus most of what you are asking for becomes secondary to me. *p*I understand now. Fundamental difference in worldview.*p**br*: F/|\ Ah, but I am behaving as a Druid. I am *br*: sorting the problem out, but it is a complex one, *br*: and it is always good to have input from others *br*: whom you have found to be learned in the areas you *br*: study...I checked out the Summerlands for quite *br*: some time before I decided to become a member, and *br*: what drew me here, was the level of scholarship. *p*Yes, that happened to me too.*p*Sorry, it looked from your post that you were looking at what the Druids of the past did, and that you were not self-identifying with being a Druid, but with the Brehons more. *p*There is no problem with that, but you were asking what the Druids would do, instead of, what I consider to be the central point of, "what would *I* do as a Druid".*p*See the difference?*p*Daven Re: Druidic Roles in Counseling and Prison Ministry fhionamacg 1124 Mon - Mar 10 - 4:59pm 68.53.147.54
