The marriage of Science and Religion...and lasting peace

The marriage of Science and Religion…and lasting peace

The Unified Field Theory of Everything is the marriage of two forces in the world that for too long have viewed one another with distrust and scorn.  Albert Einstein was right when he said  “All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man’s life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual…

My fellow humans...no more time for war

My fellow humans…no more time for war

I recorded a Youtube message for the world the other day, and I mean it to the core of my being: “we do not have any time for any kind of wars amongst each other. We have a common enemy: Climate Chang”. That was the essence of my message.  Humanity must wake up and finally recognize our shared destiny.  If we don’t mature in a hurry and unite across national boundaries, History will not be kind…

We don’t have time for any more wars… I hope that you will take this message and run with it. The time has come for humanity to finally wake up, mature, and recognize that we have a common enemy....all of us; across religion, nations, and political affiliation.

Time to stop the partisan bickering

Time to stop the partisan bickering

At this very hour, we have some SERIOUS issues to address in the United States and around the world.  Clearly, climate change is the biggest issue facing humanity, and the effects of climate change are already killing people and decimating life on Earth.  We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction the planet has seen.  We are on the brink of crossing the temperature threshold toward runaway…

Still Bernie or bust

Still Bernie or bust

It’s amazing to me that I don’t hear any political pundits pointing out what’s really at stake this election season. The reality is, the balance of power in the United States is completely out of whack and unsustainable. The whole point of the United States Constitution was the power must be divided up, so that no one person or group has too much power. That’s why we have checks and balances…

Social Safety Net...

Social Safety Net…

Lots of folks complain that people who are on welfare, or taking unemployment payments rather than working are ‘lazy’.  For the sake of argument, I’ll grant you that some people could probably be described as ‘lazy’, but I also firmly believe it is hard-wired into human nature to get tremendous satisfaction from being productive.

I believe that if you offer a person two options:

1) accept a…

Big Idea: becoming non-judgmental

Big Idea: becoming non-judgmental

We’ve heard the wisdom for over 2 millennia, “Judge not, lest you be judged”, but it’s a difficult task, isn’t it?  I’m come a long way in my personal development; I want peace and prosperity for every human being…but I have definitely been in need of improvement in this area.  With the current, heated election season, I have been as guilty as anyone of criticizing and blaming people for being…

Religion and Politics

Somehow we’ve collectively bought into the idea that it’s ‘impolite’ or ‘inappropriate’ to discuss politics or religion…

You know who wants you to buy into that logic? Political leaders and religious leaders! That’s how the keep their power and keep obstructing humanity’s march toward Freedom and Equality. Those are the only subjects I care about because I care about Freedom and Eqiality for all.…

Greek mythology 'Sisyphus'

Greek mythology ‘Sisyphus’

One more, because I’m on a roll here:

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus is the character who, for all eternity is punished by pushing a boulder up the mountain.  In the classic myth, the boulder would constantly roll back down the hill, and he’d have to start the process over again. I think this is a pretty good metaphor for humanity’s story: the recurrimg themes of Struggle and Progress. No Struggle,…

The ecstasy that marks the summit of Life

bir of classic literature here from Jack London. Another post in a series of themes about coralary between Life and Struggle

“There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive. This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes…

"In any fight..."

“In any fight…”

Another reminder that life is supposed to be a struggle

“I’ll tell you this: in any fight it is the guy who is willing to die who is going to win. And I know if I am going to have any life anymore, it is because I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch because THAT IS WHAT LIVING IS!”

Another reminder that Life is meant to be a struggle

“Tyler Durden: Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We…
