When we sleep, our brain continues to provide thoughts and ideas in what sometimes may seem to be a chaotic sense of reality. This does not express the need to believe in anything, but more like curiosity and a desire understand. As we express our dreams as stories, we share our stories with other stories, and eventually there forms enough similarity that some might begin to postulate a possible common truth. Combined with a resistance to be proven wrong, we then might begin to deceive our selves in an effort to keep alive our own sense of truth.
Some larger ideas continue to build out of sheer gravitational like power. After a while, these ideas develop a life of their own, and then comes something like cell division. Common sense now helps to explain the many different ideas of religion. Pick one or make one of your own and see if it too will grow to have a life of its own.

My Understanding of God and Goddess
I received this inspiration about a month ago, and now seems like an appropriate time to share it with you.
It was the middle of 2011 when I sought a better understanding of the Goddess. Having most of this existence subjected by a God, I had a fair enough understanding of rules. After my reawakening began in 2010, the time had come to understand the Goddess.
The God and Goddess are not limited to the sex of humans. It is more of a balance of both within our lives. Where God is represented by Law, the Goddess is represented by Forgiveness. Whereby the God is represented by rules and the Goddess is represented by understanding. One has no meaning without the other. Law and rules are hollow without Forgiveness and understanding. Also, Forgiveness and understanding lack purpose without Law and rules.
Now lets apply these ideals to religion. Having a parental upbringing in a book religion, I experienced a God as the masculine and a church as the feminine. Given this, their church should only be capable of forgiveness and understanding. Yet their God demands control of forgiveness while their church has a history of imposing rules. That now seems to be a backward and confusing faith.
Regarding clans and covens, I have still witnessed many times either a Priest or Priestess and seldom both. Given the whole basis of human history, it has taken both Men and Women to continue the race of humans. By example, human history has proven the need for the energies of both Men and Women. By structural design, common sense also suggests a better combined leadership with a Priest and Priestess and their combined energies. The goal would then be to demonstrate the strength of both by example with the hope to better instruct our future instructors.

Emotional Control
Another helpful exercise I enjoy is to meditate my vibrational energy through the 7 colors of the rainbow or chakras, whichever you choose to use as your example. Since I view my emotions as vibrational energy, much like the energy frequencies of colors, the energy influence of colors help to entrain the current emotion I'm trying to deal with.
So to start my meditation, I begin with imagining my self vibrating at the color of red. I may have to raise or lower my current vibrational energy until I reach the color red. Then I'll raise my vibrating energy until I reach the color orange. I continue on to the next higher level until I then reach yellow, then green, then blue, then indigo, and then violet. If you want, you can continue on to magenta, then white, but I'm just focusing on the 7 colors. Then reverse your vibrating energy back down the color range from violet to indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and then red. Your intention is to entrain your emotions and allow them to follow your color changes. Red is more exciting, violet is more soothing, while green is a good balance between the two.
I find this exercise to be most helpful in maintaining control of my own emotions. The color changes remind me of chameleons, camouflage, and help to separate my emotional self from any outside influences. Also, as a reminder, it is always best to shake off any excess energy after any energy work you may have practiced, otherwise known as grounding.
