The Secular Belief Conundrum
It is interesting to note that the word secular has no meaning in and of itself. It is mostly defined as the absence of a religious or spiritual orientation, the lack of a moral code encompassing a transcendental meaning and purpose. Everybody has some sort of overall view of the world as being a good […]
Resolve to seek the highest truth
Resolve to seek the highest truth: Mankind has a predilection for feeling superior. We have weaponised our talents to dominate other species and to plunder the earth.

Christmas: a time for Truth and Goodness
Christmas is important to us as Christ’s message is particularly directed at humanity. Christ did not just intend his message for the humanity of his time, but for the humanity of all time. Jesus is exceptional because of how he came to be, who he was, because of his mission’s purpose, its meaning and, last […]

Following the mobile phone boom in the 1990s the exposure of entire populations to Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) continues to increase exponentially. EMFs, are created by Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) in motion through space. It is hypothesised to travel in waves with peaks and troughs. The distance between peaks is called a wavelength. The space around us […]
Freedom: The Truth Shall Make Us Free
Freedom is not the absence of restraint, a free-for-all. Freedom is when we realise our true meaning and purpose and its boundless possibilities. “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, If you continue in my Word , then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth […]
Peace and the Dawn of a New Beginning
The ancient Chinese Taoist philosopher Lao Tzu is credited with saying “New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings”. Although we do not consciously seek pain, it nonetheless finds its way to us. As bad as it may seem, it is useful to acknowledge that we have created it and it is more than likely […]
