what is flamekeeping?

what is flamekeeping?

I'm glad you asked!  *insert evil cackle*

No, kidding.  It's a religious philosophy that I and some other people are working on - there's a SIG here with some essays and my blog at www.flamekeeping.org with more information.

Basically it's a pantheistic path with the idea that we are the eyes and hands of the Divine and we need to go out there and DO stuff to improve what we can - and a set of questions to start thinking about HOW to do that.

ha! i will have to read that.
do you see divinity as being separate from everything that exists? if so, maybe panentheism might be more accurate?

Nope.  Divinity is OF everything - if it exists, it is of the Divine.  Us, them, the chair, all of it.

separation is dangerous and causes confusion.  *sage wise-person nod*

Because it's about taking care of our own sacred flame - I use the flame as a metaphor for soul.

interesting. like energy?
i see the spirit as energy (which all things possess) and the soul as genetics. it's the energy which is divinity...the everything that exists (there has got to be a better way to say that) while the soul is kinda like how the atoms are put together.

Pantheist (very definitely not panentheist) is one of my multitude of descriptors.

Most definitely I'm a Stoic and we believe that the universe is a conscious system and that our individual consciousnesses are literally a part of that.
