Seeing things as separate from us is where all the trouble starts. If something is part of you, then you are more likely to look after it and love it. That's why the whole family thing can work so well, because we see our children as part of us. I see nothing wrong in that. With my body I thee worship. I like that. And with my mind and my spirit too.

Is this wiccan beliefs?

Yeah Conan, from my perspective what Silver said is a part of it. One of the reasons it's referred to as Neo-paganism is that for the most part we don't have written traditions that date back thousands of years, part of which is due to the repression of paganism . (a historical subject that I ain't touching with a ten-foot athame in this thread...)
Another part of which is that it is not a dogmatic religion. My belief is that the Goddess has created us all individually and that our relationship with Her and Her Consort and the rest of the universe is a unique and individual one. For me to tell you that your mode of worship is wrong is just as ridiculous as to say that your favorite color is incorrect.
Hope that sheds a bit of light on things...
