Of course they are. They all represent certain parts of ourselves and of humanity. And they are part of a fantastic story that has gifted countless children of all ages with wonder and grand adventures. I’m almost certain you might expect to see them mentioned in articles and messages yet to come.
Tinkerbell, along with all the other gods and goddesses people have believed in and worshiped through the millennia, exists in the realm of our imaginations. We could ask her for you, but you have an even stronger connection with her since she lives inside of you. When you feel joy, wonder, amazement, romance, excitement, awe, and intense love, that is her pixie dust breathing magic into your life.
Absolutely not! While we do accept donations for basic expenses and our community projects, they are by no means required or expected.
No. Tinkerbell merely represents the power, force, or energy that birthed time, matter, and everything we know. She is not an actual being outside of our imaginations, just like any other supernatural god or goddess. She does not threaten, perform intrusive surveillance, or demand praise, genuflection, or blind and unquestioning servitude as do some other deified fantasies.
Instead, we promote the life, joy, wonder, and acceptance of all who do not injure or oppress others, that she represents. We do this through speaking up for the oppressed, connecting resources with those in need, and providing education for those with an “ear to hear” what can be observed, tested, and confirmed to be true.
Yes. We have a virtual building in Second Life (click here to visit). This keeps the costs to a minimum so funds can be used to help people instead. We are planning to use Meetup to organize local get-togethers in free locations such as a public park. You can visit our Meetup Group Here.
Tinkerbell can represent the energy that became time, matter, and space; that formed galaxies and solar systems and planets; that eventually sparked life and consciousness and joy and love. These are things that are beautiful and real, some in the material world and others in the realm of the mind.
A church is a community. It is a family whose members share a vision. In the case of TCOT, that vision is to promote love, acceptance, living true to who you are, and helping those in need. All without insisting someone must believe claims we cannot demonstrate are true. We know Tinkerbell is a product of our imagination, but the things she represents are real and true and good — good not because of her, but because of us.
We started TCOT to promote this love and good will without the religious baggage that often comes with such.
Yes. If you feel as though you are at home with us and share our desire to live, love, and help those in need, you can call yourself a member. We might make “official” membership available in the near future.
We offer a safe place conspicuously free from judgment or superiority regardless of religion or lack thereof, lifestyle, sexual or gender identity, or family structure. After all, you don’t really think we are going to try to convince you everything was created and is upheld by fairies, do you? Everyone knows that already.
There are countless religions and systems of belief. One thing almost all of them hold in common is the belief that their mythologies, supernatural realms, spiritual beings, and gods and/or goddesses exist outside of their imaginations. But this has never been shown to be true. The human mind can and frequently does produce fantastic illusions that look, sound, smell, and feel intensely real, sometimes more real that reality itself.
We believe it is vitally important to know what is real and true, and to know how to distinguish reality from fantasy. We also believe community and a shared vision are cornerstones of human cooperation.
So TCOT is important because we provide community, a vision, moral clarity, and a spiritual fantasy, with real-world applications, that is known to be a product of our imaginations.
