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 good old Christmas tale
The good old Christmas tale is one to be experienced afresh every year. It strikes an inner chord in many and this is the reason why it has stubbornly persisted across eighty one generations. Whilst it is true that we have heard it recounted many times, we may not have actually paid enough attention to […]
Believing is the Bedrock of Choice
Believing is like opening a door. Once one opens the door to allow what is on the other side into one’s life, then, that gradually becomes one’s experience of life, for better or for worse.
Ignorance is the darkness of not knowing
Christ’s suffering at Calvary exposes the ignorance, the darkness of humanity for all to see.

We should note that we also contribute to the perpetration of lies when we believe them, thus […]
Resolve to seek the highest truth

Moreover we have conceptualised this behaviour as being mandated by God and we feel quite self-righteous about it. I sometimes think that certain people have redefined the meaning […]
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 […]
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 […]
