“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”

  1. It sounds like a very simple way to think. I'm not really sure of what I believe in as far as a religion, but it would help to at least believe in myself.

    I'm not sure if that makes sense,but I hope it does.

    1. What you say makes complete sense Randy. We have to believe in ourselves first to know what we like and dislike.

      It's the same with religion and our beliefs. It all goes hand in hand.

  2. I find that sometimes my brain and heart are conflicted. But in the end I always side with my heart. If you can't trust your heart, what else is there? 🙂

    1. It's a hard one I know, but when faced with choice I follow my heart. my gut feeling and intuition every time.

      My intuition and my thoughts all come from my heart, that's my starting point in making my decisions, whatever those decisions are.

      I am sure you will work it out Justin. Thank you so much for posting.
