On the Religious Spirituality Decision-Makers Path

For some time now I have looked for ways to express how the various religions of the people of God may be shown to work together along the Decision-Maker's Path (tm).

In this blog, I simply want to provide links to the Wikipedia for the major religions of the world so that I may continue to add insights into what they offer us working together as a decision-maker considers an issue while walking the labyrinth.

The Decision-Maker's Path (tm)

1. Where am I coming from?

Let's begin with Shintoism, for we all come from some form of spirituality, or lack thereof, from our ancestors.

2. Where am I wanting to go with the issue I am confronted with?

Let's consider next Zorastrianism, for here, as with any true issue, we are called to deal with apparently warring sides.

3. Why am I reluctant to resolve the issue?

Let's consider the Bahá'í response, and listen for a universal answer.

4. What do my wise ones generally advise?

Let's consider Confucianism, for it is prudent to walk the path with balance.

5. How do the pro's and con's of my issue compare?

Let's consider Hinduism, for it's spirituality comes from so many approaches.

6. What do the "Powers That Be" say specifically about my issue?

Let's consider Sikhism, for the power of truth is always guarded by the dedicated.

7. What is my real agenda?

Let's consider the response of Jainism, for it is important to know limits of the self.

8. What facts and reasons am I contending with?

Let's consider Taoism, for understanding how far opposition can be taken.

9. What insights and oversights are emerging?

Let's consider Judaism, for wondering about sources of faith for people beyond the individual self.

10. How am I going to tell my decision?

Let's consider Islam, for how the telling is best when prophetic.

11. What am I willing to risk losing in order to gain what I may only be able to hope for?

Let's consider Buddhism, for some of the sources of human suffering.

12. How am I determining that the decision I have discerned in the one that best fits the issue posed?

Let's consider Christianity, for Jesus claimed to be "the way and the truth and the life" and thus, at least for his followers, we want our decisions to fit.
