Q: You once said you were a Freethinker. Are you still a Freethinker?
A: Yes, now even more so. I now think only a Freethinker could possibly believe as I now do that you and I have two sets of parents, a mortal mother and father, and an immortal spiritual mother and father. Our spiritual mother is Mother Nature, the Spiritual Mother of us all, and our spiritual father is The Creative Spirit of the Universe. Together, I believe, this spiritual mother and father endowed us with life with its many talents, such as our mental ability to reason, and the emotional abilities to love and to be inspired.
But there is more to the answer than this, and that, for Freethinking Spiritual Humanists, is the belief that we live our lives in two worlds, the Material and the Spiritual, that we are wired into the Material world with our heads and into the Spiritual world with our hearts, and that these wires are joined in our souls and result in our actions. We are known not by what we think in our heads or feel with our hearts, but by what we do with our lives. As Lincoln told someone, "What you are doing speaks so loud I can't hear what you are saying."
