xakaraFirst Sunday Setup: Clean more. Write more. Okay, on to the topic at hand.
I don't like people. There are individuals I love, but I don't like people. When you get enough individuals collected they become folks. You all are folks. But we've been over this before, I'm just catching up the new readers. Yes, there are new readers, didn't you notice? I've graduated from four to a whole six, it was a big moment! So now that the new ones are caught up, let's get to the solitary vs. anti-social segment of our ramble.

There's a magic chat over at moondancerdrake's Dreamtime journal and I felt compelled to share my own current head-drama on spiritualism. It's short for me, so no worries. I'll expand another time when I'm a little less distracted. Onward...
I'm solitary in part because I'm the only Gaian I know. As many pagan, and all earth based religions touch on Gaia (yeah, some of you thought all pagan religions were earth based didn't you?), I could technically graft on to the Wiccan, Shaman, Dianic and even Druidic groupings I can find. But none of them are Gaian.
I can find several environmentalist and political activist that are part of the Gaia Movement and prescribe to the Gaian Theory, but those I've met aren't openly pagan. They prefer to focus on the science of the theory rather than its "New Age" applications.
Being antisocial means I don't mind being in solitary practice. But lately I've been distracted by an internal nudge toCONVERT THE MASSES, sorry, pay my inner benevolent dictator no mind, I was going to say, talk to others about my beliefs. Primarily this is coming from the fact that like most folks, I've created belief systems in my writing worlds that touch on things I believe, or have learned, or that came to me with such completeness that they deserved their own universe to thrive in. As I craft the culture of my Therians it leaves me wanting to speak about the things that influenced it.
As I'll be speaking to non-Gaians I haven't decided the extent to which I want to converse. It's not like I want to convert people (regardless of my IBD). I don't care what you all believe, as long as you aren't hurting yourselves or others, it's all rainbows in my world. So it's not a monologue I'm seeking where everyone nods placidly and goes off to do what I said, (Although those willing to go off and do what I say should email me cuz I have some stuff that needs to get done.), it's a dialogue of beliefs and paths and otherness of those out there I think I'm looking for.
Or maybe I want to start a cult. Who knows, it's hard to tell when my bloodsugar is low and pms is gearing up.
Anyway, having gotten that out of my head I'm feeling better. I know that you all didn't quite follow it, but you kinda expected that coming in. It's just the way of this rambly mansion of my mind.
