“No friend, no husband or wife, no community or commune will be able to put to rest our deepest cravings for unity and wholeness. And by burdening others with these divine expectations, of which we ourselves are often only partially aware, we might inhibit the expression of free friendship and love and evoke instead feelings [...]
Empty Education
Posted in Uncategorized on June 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The public education curriculum in today’s schools do not concern themselves with (in a lack of prioritization) those things which really matter. It is built to infuse human beings with a superficial knowledge focused solely on being efficient in a given means of production, but entirely deems as irrelevant the metaphysical understanding, the foundational integrity, [...]

Spirituality is awareness, not the acquisition of something new, but a recognition of something which is already the case. As Jacob keenly declared when awakening from his dream on the side of the road, “God was in this place and I, i did not know.”

We speak of fear in the context of things unwanted, undesired and dreaded. But can we fear something we desperately want? Can we fear something we love with all our hearts? Not that we love despite the fear, but I wonder, is it the fear itself which enables us to love?

When we call ourselves Christians, we are calling ourselves “little anointed ones”
Dwell on that.

Have you ever been caught up in another realm? A state of mind that athletes call “the zone”. I’ve played sports all my life and I know exactly what this is…though I also know, not everyone experiences it. Usually those who have practiced hours and hours upon hours, get in this state of mind where [...]

My mind intuitively seeks to reason with people within their given framework, attempting to persuade within some conventionalized foundational system of thought. This act, however, I hesitate to endorse and want to deconstructively analyze in relation to living my life in allegiance to Christ.
Through my studies of scripture, I find that God at times “meets [...]

One Habit For 30 Days – Steve Pavlina, popularized the 30 Day Trial. You focus on one change for thirty days. After that time it has been sufficiently conditioned to become a habit. I’ve used this as the basis for most of my habit changes. It definitely works to [...]

Agape’s Song
