Profound spiritual experiences nourish my ability to connect
with divinity. Over the years as a
Pagan I have belonged to many organizations, identified with multiple
traditions and participated with a diverse group of Pagans. Generally my spiritual cup has been
overflowing over the years.
Recently as I have engaged as a “new” CUUPS member my
expectations have been exceeded.
Many have pontificated on CUUPS as “Pagan lite”, with no central belief
system or required degree system they see CUUPS as a place for the less
serious.
My experience has been exactly the opposite. Within my CUPPS chapter there are
people following multiple paths, our rituals together reflect a silent tenant
of CUPPS, that all paths have value in
seeking divinity.
It is this ethic that demonstrates the beauty of the CUPPS
organization. Individuals are able to dig deeper, explore more and experience
divinity without the fear of running into one of the various walls of dogma
constructed over the years by various Pagan belief systems.
It is this sacred regard for all paths that allows CUUPS
members to transcend disagreement over belief and focus energy on divinity in
all its’ blessed manifestations.
Becoming a CUUPS member has enabled this long time Pagan to
refocus on the sacred within all paths, to see divinity in the footprints of
those who travel paths very unlike my own. To release the age-old issues around what we collectively believe
and engage my spirit in what we do!
I am grateful for these deeper insights and value dearly the
intensely deep experiences that have come my way since joining CUUPS!
In Her Service,
Peter Dybing
