Life lived in and by the Spirit of God is the most exciting and nerve-wracking lifestyle there is. But, living by the law, under static and conservative church dogma, using antiquated 2,000 year old terminology is death by the slow-drip! Predictable and intolerant fundamentalism is a very ailing sacred cow. Continue reading ‘Boring Fundamentalism’

It can’t be done! So, why do we continually not only try, but teach others that it’s the goal of Christianity- and many other religions. Law keeping is an Old Testament paradigm that Jesus, who became the Christ, replaced with what He called the “Kingdom of God”. The ego though wants to live and it will constanyly tell us that we can do it. No we cannot! Continue reading ‘Keeping The Law’
Join special speaker Jesse Fernandez for a journey back to the Garden and what it means to live it out in the here and now.
That we WERE before we ARE is somewhat confusing and definitely heretical to most religious denominations. There are so many RULES to follow right here and now that people have little time to think about esoteric aspects of life. Just do what you’re told. Obey the LAWS! And above all, don’t ask questions that would rock the boat and make people think! Stay in a religious comatose mode. Continue reading ‘Memory Lost’
With rare exception (those that die very young), we all get to walk with others through the emotional land mine of a loved ones death. In times of war, fathers bury sons, but in times of peace, sons bury fathers (no gender intended). Either way, the trauma remains. If we’re lucky we come to an understanding early in life that death and dying is to be looked upon primarily as a “transition“. Continue reading ‘On Death and Dying’
Scientific theories are called “postulates“. A postulate, or axiom, indicates a statement or assumption that can be used to prove other statements or theorems. Neither axioms nor postulates can be proved (within a system) using more basic statements. However, where the student does not have the sophistication to understand a more rigorous approach, many otherwise-provable statements are accepted as postulates to allow further development of the subject. Got that? Continue reading ‘Scientific Theories’
There are so many myths- many of which are of valued importance to us. And yet there are so many things thaty we believe are simply not truth. There are even more metaphors that embody more truths than the facts that we think are so important. Remember, metaphors are “more than true“. The Christmas season fits in to all of that. Continue reading ‘Merry Christmas’
Let’s begin with a brief lesson on optics. What is pure light? The answer is white light. And white light is composed of seven basic colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet (if I remember my high school teaching). And I think in that order. So, how do we get blue? We filter out red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet. Blue skies are an ABSENCE of the other six colors. You ready for this? Continue reading ‘Children of Light (Part #3)’
Jesus said that He was the LIGHT and that we’re children of light. Creation—like the science of light—is by subtraction. To get red, you subtract out the other six primary colors. We are finite pieces of the infinite. We are the limitation of the unlimited. The “Big Bang” was something created out of everything. Of course, the ego doesn’t like to hear any of what I just wrote.

A New Year Prayer
Could there be any more important prayer than one which asks that all humanity comes to the realization of what the Cross stands for: not seeking that everyone embraces Christianity (Christian triumphalism), but that everyone comes to the realization that the “cross proves everything” (Crux probat omnia)! Regardless of the religion that one follows, or for that matter, for those who think they have no religious beliefs (atheists), may we see the deeper meaning of why and how Jesus became the Christ.
