Forever wars betray the failure of our religious and political hierarchies. War happens because we have failed collectively as human beings. We are all guilty of fostering and encouraging a culture of war. We are guilty of believing that peace can come from war.
Alchemy of the Soul
Our body and soul, our being, is who we are. Our soul is our own personal corner of Godliness. The body is mortal and is made up of a multiplicity of parts, being such it breaks down into its parts when we return to our soul. It is the soul that fires the body and […]
Religion in Crisis – Why Things Break Down
There is no shortage of crises in humanity’s history. It seems to me that the primary catalyst for most of these crises is a decline in spiritual or religious attention. Situations slip into chaos when our lives do not resonate with a higher, transcendental moral code that is based on that which is good. It […]

The Power of Meaning
This is a story about the power of meaning. Life is a spiritual journey and it has continuity. It is but one stage in our travels from unity to multiplicity and back, from that which is whole to that which fragments. We lose our way before we rediscover how to get back home. Life is […]
Bad choices and the freedom to choose
Bad things happen, or you may like to say evil arises, when we or others make bad choices. The effect of bad choices are felt by many as we are all part of one creation. It is clear that badness arises way down the line and is subsidiary to the love and goodness of that […]
World Peace is a Personal Choice
