But I’m Not Religious
Not everybody ascribes to a traditional religion. Some people think religions are too constrictive, or religions are run by people who tell everybody else what to believe. Some non-religious spiritual people say they have a connection to their higher power, but that it is on their terms. Spirituality and religion can go hand in hand, but they are two different things. Spirituality is more personal whereas religion is often something practiced within a community. Religion focuses on taboos, rituals, and beliefs that are taught by somebody else. Spirituality is based on instincts, feelings, and developing your own beliefs. Not all spiritual people are religious and not all religious people are spiritual. Whether you are religious is up to you, and your beliefs can change over time. You don’t have to be religious to be spiritual.

Go See the World
St. Augustine said “ The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” Travel is expensive, though, and not everybody can travel as much as they would like to. In today’s world, some people learn about faraway places through books, TV and movies, and the internet as opposed to visiting. Some people say that every time you take a long trip, you return home changed, however. Your mind is expanded because you experience new things and meet people who are very different than you are. This faraway travel is what the Ninth House rules. This House also decides how much learning of things beyond your own cultural views is a part of your life. It isn’t easy to see things through other people’s eyes, but travel to different places to meet people who are very different from you can provide this. Your Ninth House tells you how this is all a part of your life.
You and Your Philosophy
Philosophy is the study of knowledge, reasoning, the value of things, and existence itself. Some people say philosophy is thinking about thinking. Kant said philosophy was a series of four questions which are “What can I know?”, “What can I do?”, “What may I hope?”, and “What is the human being?”. Ethics, logic, and metaphysics are considered forms of philosophy as are political philosophy and aesthetics. Each of us forms our own philosophies about things and these philosophies guide our lives greatly. Philosophical beliefs are no less important than spiritual beliefs, and all of our beliefs, no matter what type of beliefs they are, guide our decisions, and in that way, contribute to creating our lives.
