For too long I though I was someone that I wasn’t. It’s both interesting and disappointing that it took so long for me to figure out that I was living with a false identification. My drivers license picture sure looked like me, albeit a few years younger. Do you know WHO you ARE? Continue reading ‘Mistaken Identity?’

Unfortunately Christianity, or at least those who have been the molders of Christian belief systems, has become a highly dualistic religion. Dualism is not what Jesus taught, but then there are a lot of things that Christians profess and believe that Jesus didn’t discuss or embrace. And then there are the things he did teach that we ignore. Continue reading ‘There Is No They Or Them!’
Just when you think you have become as sweet and as nice as Jesus, you might read Matthew 23 once more. Don’t hear that I’m saying Jesus wasn’t sweet and nice; rather, hear that he was not happy with the RELIGIOUS CROWD that were peddling BS, prejudice, fear, arrogance, and self serving religiosity! Continue reading ‘Woe To The Religious’
When we see who God-Consciousness actually IS and the unimaginable LOVE that’s extended to us, we truly begin to be transformed into a NEW LIGHT- a light set on a hill to bring direction and purpose to ALL!
I am who I am, as Paul reminded us in I Cor. 15. But BEING and SEE or having AWAKENED to who I AM is a most difficult process indeed because we are all under the spell of this thing called the EGO for too much of our life. We also embrace this gift called FREE WILL. Continue reading ‘Normal But Not Natural’
What does Genesis 1:26 mean and say to you- as a Christian? Were we or were we not made in the IMAGE of God? Does the Latin phrase “Imago Dei” have any validity? Do we or do we not have inherent value? Is God loving, or is God something-someone to be feared as Judaism, Catholicism, and main line Christianity too often teaches? Continue reading ‘Imago Dei or Malleus Maleficarum’
You would think that it would be EASY to see those religions, denominations, or communities that sell the “Guilt” software for their members hard drives; however, it’s really more subtle than that. There is always a great degree of truth mixed in with the GUILT- enough to blind one to the true under currents. Continue reading ‘Guilt Based Religion’
Paul said it and I wish I could say it. I’m getting closer and today I am more like who I really am than who I once was- not too long ago either. It’s hard to wear Saul’s armor or for that matter to try and step into the shoes of anyone else. Unfortunately many are trying to BE someone else, some else that they feel has it better than they. Continue reading ‘I Am Who I Am’
What we’re looking AT is a product of what we’re looking WITH! We all were some sorts of “colored glasses”, environmentally produced and conditionally developed lens. The worst part is our failure to admit such for fearing what that might say or mean to not others, but to ourselves. Continue reading ‘What Are You Looking At?’
The Fairness Doctrine Revisited
Most religions have a core of believers who are intent on upholding the LAW and demanding that JUSTICE be done. Life must be FAIR! We can’t let someone get away with committing crimes without being punished. Such “enforcers” of the LAW are the very same people Jesus had a problem with so think it not strange that we have a problem with them today. Continue reading ‘The Fairness Doctrine Revisited’
