Mistakes and Punishment

The human being judges himself. He may couch the assessment by ascribing judgment to an outside authority, but the attack upon his fellow men is quite apparent. Mistakes are valuable learning tools, in that they teach what does not work. By fearing punishment, we who are afraid punish the mistakes... Sign in to see full entry.

The Walking Dead

What do we see in others when we behold them? Are there not images that are associated, such as the outward appearance, as well as what has been done or said? Viewing a screen of our own memories is to see the walking dead. I can meet you physically. We can stand vis-a-vis. But, as long as I am... Sign in to see full entry.

How Strong Are You?

A definition of strength depends on where you are looking. If we look only with the eyes of the body, then strength is defined by the amount of resistance one can muster, both emotionally and physically. Yet, true strength lies in spiritual sight, and is witnessed to by its effects. Do you have the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Harvest of Light

Lay your burdens on God, and forget them. This method never fails because we do not know what we are doing here. The more we struggle, the more pain and suffering there is. In the darkness, there is a light that remains. It might be dim and miniscule, depending on how much darkness there is; yet, it... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank You, Father

The rapture of our union has past. I am now back in my body, thinking of my to-do list, and of my kids' safety. I chose to be afraid when two people tried to get me to let them seal my driveway for a few dollars. I wandered away and I have longed for the return. Now I see that I must give you back...

A Road Less Traveled

Love is the road less traveled. How can we be certain of this? Because of what we feel after having made choices in relationship. What we give is what we receive. Choosing fear results in being afraid, and experiencing the derivatives of fear-anger, jealousy, and continuing patterns of control and... Sign in to see full entry.

Your Fellow Man

Entering the kingdom is metaphorical. The reward is serendipitous, and a result of how we interact with one another. The minute we think that it is a place other than here, and a time other than now, we cut off the very means through which it exists. To call others evil and devise a plan for...

The Gates of Hell

This passage is from Leonard Jacobson's book 'Words From Silence.' 'A man was searching for that which cannot be found, when suddenly he arrived at the Gates of Hell. He was about to enter when he was stopped by an old magician. "You have no weapons," Said the magician. "Take this sword. It will... Sign in to see full entry.

Relatively Speaking

Right and wrong is not immutable. Why, then do we argue with such vehemence, only later to be mistaken? Is it not about power and control, rather than helping and enlightening? What is wrong today was right 100 years ago here in America. It was acceptable for 30 year-old men to marry 13 year-old... Sign in to see full entry.

Man's Second Nature

That which comes second nature to us must first be learned, applied, and rehearsed constantly. It is something that is not an inherent part of us, even though it feels very natural. Man's second nature is the world experienced through the five senses. His mind interprets these things and he 'sees... Sign in to see full entry.
