Nothing Else Matters

 I think it sounds nice but I don't really feel this is a healthy philosophy. Those things DO matter. Kindness matters, justice matters, helping those in need matters, how we love and guide our children matters. Our prayers matter . Healing ourselves, our neighbor and this planet matters. Our unique talents and creativity matter. Our words matter, they can hurt or heal. Our experiences,  our prayers and meditations matter. If a baby cries and needs to be fed it DOES matter if we respond to her/his cry or not. Our individual spiritual evolution contributes to the evolution of humanity and vica versa . We are NOT independent of each other, but interdependent . I really don't buy this particular "spiritual relativity" teaching. Sorry, but I don't. We are here to love and care for each other and to me "love" is a verb ....

All that you say is true but that does not negate this message.  Those who are able to fully grasp the inherent wisdom of the article are generally those who are kind, helpful to others and so forth.  

 Amen!  Love is indeed a verb . . . or it isn't at all.  True . . . al of it!  TY! 

 Listen to the lady, "grasp the inherent wisdom"!  Yes, all true, and good.

 Love the illustration at the top of the page!  "You can come home to yourself now . . . Welcome Home"  This is quite healthy to ponder!
The Kingdom of God is my home.  Heaven, one day . . . I pray.

Hi Regina, I think the basis of what Scott is saying is that we don't need rules for ourselves and others. We don't have to be afraid that we will be wrong if we are not strict with ourselves. Natural action arises when we are not blocked by rules and expectations, when there is no secondary observer checking to make sure we are ok. And then eventually we see that this "I" is much more than a personality that has to perform for ego or the world.
