I’ve been thinking lately about the idea of confessing to a priest instead of directly to God. Even if a belief isn’t fully true, I tend to think there’s usually a small truth tucked inside it somewhere. So what’s the truth here? Right now, I’m leaning toward this: confession may be less about who you’re confessing to, and more about what energy or frequency you’re feeding when you do it. Guilt, humility, release, accountability, forgiveness—those are internal states. Maybe no other being is actually required for that process to work. As a kid, I thought about it in a much simpler way: If God can hear me everywhere… why do I need a “cellphone to God” via a priest? That question earned me some very intense stares in religion class 😂 But honestly, it still feels valid. As an adult, I can see more layers. There’s the human aspect: saying things out loud, being witnessed, ritual, structure, tradition, and accountability. There’s also community psychology—sometimes people need a mirror, a guide, or a safe container to let something go. And for some, the priest represents authority, absolution, or a symbolic stand-in for God that makes forgiveness feel real. So maybe the answer isn’t either/or. Maybe it’s a little of this and a little of that. Maybe confession works because it shifts your internal state, focuses your intention, and moves you from shame into release—regardless of whether it’s God, a priest, a journal, or your own quiet thoughts doing the listening. Curious what you all think. Sincerely, the little Catholic girl who asked too many questions and survived 😌

The Full moon-God’s magic we simply ignore such a big event in our daily life…

So, I really need ur opinion on this. The more I listen to different spiritual teachers, the more I develop this fear that all of this is just a big scam, and it’s hard for me to continue my spiritual journey, even though I really want to. Cause most of spiritual teachers wants you to pay money for the knowledge they offer, and on one hand, we live in material world, they exchange valuable information, so it’s absolutely logical that these knowledge is worth paying for. But on the other hand, how to get rid of the thought that it’s just a big scam? And how do you guys understand if something is trustworthy?
