faith & religion

As I see the sun raising again in the morning, and after a quiet night sleep. We began to understand what God; was really saying to us! read more »

I was irresistably attracted to the simple explanation of bliss excerpted from "The Nature of Bliss: Balance, Love, Integrity, Sexuality, Soul" by Maureen Moss in the World Puja newsletter. The book is available at The World Puja Store in print or on CD. I can't resist sharing the excerpt with my favorite on-line community. read more »

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark.
The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." ~ Plato

The division of the spiritual from the political has been a great failing of Western society. Where other civilizations have been able to call forth their greatest spiritual minds in times of manifest political crises "” Gandhi amongst the people of South Asia, the Dalai Lama amongst the people of Tibet, Chief Joseph amongst the Nez Perce, to name only a few examples "” the trembling earthquakes of destruction which loom heavy over Western civilization have called few men or women of spirit into action. In other cultures, those individuals who must remind the people of their duties to each other and to the Earth become the first warriors for the cause of the common good, their righteousness a product of the sanctified union of truth and compassion; but in the West, such men and women "” from the pope to the sidewalk preacher "” remain silent or (perhaps more fairly) unheard through the jungle of distraction contained in our computers and televisions. read more »

Oh, tip the sacred cow
Melt down the golden calf
Erase the face of fear
till all are free to laugh.

Then shall come the day
when all we know of pain
is that jiggling of the belly,
of laughter become strained.

Tears mingle in such laughter
For laughter is the Rule,
sacred ever after,
And all are Jester's Fool.

Human Nature needs a sidekick
to whip it into shape,
an idol to cajole and trick - read more »

Countdown: 6 Days remaining of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

Our Sacred Cow today is primarily genetic in nature. As part of the Human Family we have all had experiences that are handed down through our families of origin that form a kind of "family identity".

Most of us have already released our direct agreement with this Sacred Cow:

"Annihilate those who think or believe differently." read more »

I am just publishing a comment on the prominent issue of freedom of speech, which is probably boring everyone to death, but i thought i should highlight my views, and am curious to know others viewpoints on such things. I am extrememly interested in religion, and hold strong views, and i fear that society is going down a path leading to the ultra sensitivity which will subsequently mean we will not be allowed to express ourselves. For example, i feel that blind faith is a lethal weapon, and i think my viewpoint is as valid as that of a thiest. I just want to say that, freedom of speech works both ways, if God is allowed to say that infidels will have their day of judgement etc., we should be allowed to say that we feel religion is fiction for example. I believe in liberty for everyone, and the key to any progress in the world is understanding, how are we supposed to understand if we cannot discuss? read more »
