G-D. AS YOU UNDERSTAND

“In the Bible, the ones who were most certain about what they were doing were the ones who stoned the prophets.”

CONTROVERSIAL FAITH

Here we are in the Age of Aquarius.: the Age of Understanding and enlightenment. It’s a digitized world where unlimited knowledge flows through a portal available to anyone with a device. Never before have our senses been so enticed by the material world…

TREE OF LIFE PRAYER

The artwork is a piece done by Julia Volchkova in Penang, Malaysia

MY MORNING RITUAL

A righteous person is one who submits to the Will of G-D. That is why I set aside the first moments of everyday for devotion. Giving gratitude for the air in my lungs helps me grasp where I’m at in life. living and breathing. With that in mind I set my intentions for the day, to serve G-D with all my mind,…

ESOTERIC CHRISTIANITY

“God is at home, it is we who have gone out for a walk.” -Meister Eckhart

A GNOSTIC OVERVIEW

When we talk about the rising of the Kundalini we are speaking of spiritual awakening. The common misconception among Christians being that there is no Biblical telling of how this can be achieved. In fact, the general consensus seems to be that the Bible doesn’t even speak on different states of…

ENERGY CENTERS

DISCLAIMER

Before I dive into the deep end of the pool I want to address something. I am not a guru claiming to be illumined with secret knowledge. I am a regular guy who had a mystical experience. I attend Church weekly and read a lot of the same books you do. While I have found common threads amongst the global religions I never want to take away their uniqueness or force people to view…

WHAT IS THE DIVINE NATURE REALITY?

MY CONCEPT OF GOD

Sometimes I feel like I’m on the fringe of every group known to humankind. I tend to be a bit too open to Eastern Philosophy for the taste of most people within my own Church community, Seminary or not. The philosophers find my blending Jewish mysticism with the ramblings of Heraclitus a bit much for the rational mind. The scientific community is far to educated for any of my…

MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!

“Do, or do not, there is no try.” -Master Yoda

I love Star Wars. George Lucas helped define the s sci-fi movie genre and had a hand in shaping several generations idea of popular entertainment. Now we have another group of kids growing up the same loveable characters via Disney. I mean, have you seen baby Yoda, how could you not love that face. Add in smugglers, resistance fighters, fuzzy…

FIND YOUR REASON WHY

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” -Leo Tolstoy

See that picture? That’s high-tech on Gib Lewis. It’s a maximum security prison where they house offenders with a G-5 status- meaning they aren’t fit for general population. Somehow I was thrown in the mix there after a race riot erupted between Tango Blasts…

SHUT UP MR SMITH I'M GARDENING

SHUT UP MR SMITH I’M GARDENING

Quite a lot has been said about how well our planet is doing now that we’re all indoors. The more I study the reports coming in the more I am reminded of Mr. Smith in the Matrix. He goes on this long rant painting us out to be the horrendous virus eating it’s host alive. Now that we’re seeing reports that seemingly agree with his sentiment it disturbs me.

I have always been very grassroots in…

DEFEATING IGNORANCE

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS

We can frame ignorance in the classic sense and call it a lack of knowledge or information. We see this form of ignorance all the time. In fact, some of us even judge this lack of understanding in a rare form hazing prevalent in video game circuits and…

BE A GOOD SAMARITAN

“There’s no way to be a Christian at home by yourself.” -Sara Miles

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS… EVEN THE ASIAN ONES

A friend of mine made a post that genuinely disturbed me. I hadn’t once thought of the effects ones heritage has on this coronavirus scare. My friend shares a classic lineage many gen x’ers can relate to. Her Father was shipped off to fight overseas and her Mother was the local Korean…

A QUICK REFLECTION

Source; The Imitation of Christ

I didn’t have to make it very far into the work quoted above to find my first bit of insight. Thomas a Kempis, if he did in fact write the famous work quoted above, was quite right indeed. For all of my studying, all of my accumulated knowledge, it all pales in comparison to the insight gained from simply observing my own thoughts. Understanding myself and why I…

CHECK IT OUT HIGH HORSE

“I experienced the judgement of a lot of people – and deservedly so.” -Sienna Miller

Today’s current climate almost makes it too easy to write about spiritual growth and personal progress. With all the turmoil we are all being provided with ample opportunity to really evolve in our spiritual journeys. There are so many targets for us to direct our self-righteous fury at and tons of opportunities to…

THIS TOO SHALL PASS

“Life is too short so love the one you got.” -Bradley Nowell

Life likes to take us in directions we aren’t prepared for. The people and places change and we adapt to new circumstances as we grow. Some of the people we thought we would always have around are sometimes taken too soon for our liking. Sometimes things outside of us take place and we have to let go for a time. Separation happens.

JUST WALK AWAY

”If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.” -Dalai Lama

We’ve all stayed in toxic relationships far longer than we should’ve. We make excuses for why we stay and attempt to justify it in every way imaginable. Our friends and family all look at us like we’ve finally fallen down and hit our head one too many times. They can see how futile any attempt at…

IS MORALITY A CHOICE

We all have a rudimentary concept of morality worked out. We have these cute little moral codes we share on our social media. You know the ones. They sound really good and paint the picture we want the world to see when they look at us. They are also usually a lie. We have a tendency to hide those really nasty bits in life. We try and write it off as private matters but chances are it’s not…

WHEN MONEY TALKS

“Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.” -Henry David Thoreau

What people do to each other in the pursuit of riches has always terrified me. Having never been a lover of things has always set me at odds with society. It’s people I care about. Stray dogs. Lonely cats. Sentient beings with feelings that drive me, not social status and flashy things.

I also struggle more than…

WATCH MY HEAD EXPLODE

“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.” -Dan Millman

LOUD NOISES

Metal clings from some dark recess of the room. Buzzers echo through the crowds chattering away in Spanish. I hear, “NO! MIJO!,” cried out seconds before the sound of glass shattering joins in the chaos. The incessant drum beat of machine gun fire is accompanied by the whine…
