What Is “Solarisism”?

“Solarisism” is the name I gave to my personal philosophy;

the set of principles that guide me through and help me understand this experience.

I may also refer to Solarisism as my personal religion.

The definition of “religion” that I hold at the forefront of my mind is:

“something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience.”

I call my own personal beliefs “Solarisism” or “the religion of Solaris” because Solaris is my name.

My beliefs are not set in stone. Solarisism is continually growing & changing as I am.

My personal beliefs are built on & centered around a passionate admiration & gratitude for Death,

a desire for continuous growth & knowledge,

a strong sense of Justice,

& the concept of Love as defined by M. Scott Peck in “The Road Less Travelled” & Bell Hooks in “All About Love” as

“The will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.”

My intentions for this blog are to post essays & other writings that are essentially collections of my perspective, thoughts, knowledge about plant and energy medicine, and some sessions I have with Spirit. 

My goal is never to convince others that my way of life is “right” & theirs is “wrong”.

I share my thoughts, feelings, & perspectives because I want to, I feel compelled to do so, & I can.

My goal is to share knowledge & encourage others to think & feel in ways that help them grow.

I only ever want myself & others to think & act in ways that cultivate Well-Being. I understand deviation from the path is inevitable & perfectly human.

I have continuously led myself from suffering to thriving through the worst circumstances.

That is an ability I wish for everyone to have.

There are many different ways to think about things & live life.

Open yourself to as many new perspectives & experiences as possible; that’s the only way you can know what fulfills you.
