What do we really know? Do we understand how money really works? Do we really understand how our government is run? Do we really know what’s in the food we are eating? Do we even fully understand all the religious rituals we follow and where they came from? My brother and I were having a [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot about Faith lately. The proposition that suggest there is a dimension outside of our physical world, where a real Creator, or divine entity interacts with humanity. I’ve also been thinking about the things that get in the way of fully and firmly settling if this dimension exist. Saying you believe [...]

I prayed for healing, more love, and clearer guidance today. A part of me wondered if it was worth it. If anyone really heard me. If somehow the clinking ceiling fan above my head was a bit too noisy. But a part of me desperately needed to experience contact. I needed, and wanted to know...

It seems relatively safe, but it can be torturous. And for many prisoners of war or cult initiates it is a particularly useful technique.

You've heard the voice, when you've wanted to change poor habits of health, some injustice in the world, some religious tradition you've never really critically examined, or that job you're barely tolerating.

It's defined as a refusal of obedience or order. Wikipedia goes on to say that a rebellion can encompass anything from non-violent resistance, to violent, or organized attempts at overthrowing some established authority. History is full of examples of rebels who were responsible for this sort of rabble rousing.
