In the presence of the Elohim

Since forever the Spirit of God moves in and around the waters of life. The Elohim seems to come and go, but has never left. You do not have to search that which has already found you. You only need to clear your sight and you will see. Where the Spirit of God is known there is no lack. Where it is... Sign in to see full entry.

Evolution and Creative Intelligence

If there is one characteristic of human beings that sets us apart from the rest of the our fellow sentient beings in the animal kingdom, it is creative intelligence. Other animals also build beautiful works of art, to our perception, but they usually do the same thing over and over and it seems to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Second Coming

If Christ was to return today, He would be most unwelcome. He would not be humble enough, complacent enough, altruistic and humane enough, compliant enough, friendly enough, etc. No wonder the description in John of Patmos's book of Revelations is one of a very forceful person who will at first wage...

I am the Truth, the Light and the Way

In a society where there are many teachers who teach many different and often conflicting teachings but who all claim to teach the truth it is very difficult to take any particular persons teaching overly seriously as truly representative of the truth. It is only in our own experience that we can... Sign in to see full entry.

Glorifying Feelings and Self

There seems to be an abundance of "spiritual" paths that teach us how to feel good and be happy with the way things are. If that is your cup of tea, drink it. Meanwhile, back in real life, we who are not afraid to feel the suffering of our fellow human beings will work on finding real solutions to... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Hour Religion

There are many teachers in the world today. Many claim to represent God and the way forward for humanity. Some teachings look like they point the way to the light.

The rolling Thunder and All pervasive White Light

Is there anybody on here who has had the experiences of hearing rolling thunder and seeing an all pervasive white light that is not shared by all people present but are shared by some? I'm trying to establish if these are valid milestones on the spiritual path or simply byproducts on the journey.... Sign in to see full entry.
