Our world of distinctions is built on paradigms, on the collective agreement of human-created models. Frankly, many of these models have outworn their welcome; many of them have stayed on the shelf long past their due dates. There are numerous teachers today of something called ‘The Secret’, something called ‘The Law of Attraction’. These people, in many cases have tapped into the Stillness and have gained the realization there are no limitations. But to bring that awareness back to this world… Continue

I write because I need to breathe. I write because I need to feel... something. I write because I need something to affect me. As a child, I didn't have many outlets. I wasn't able to express myself the way other children could... with sports or other activities. I hid in my books. The type of book was irrelevant. The topic could be math, science, reading, or a novel; it didn't matter as long as it was a book. At some point (I don't remember when), I realized I could get s… Continue

First, allow me to begin by giving you all a short history lesson. Millions of years ago there was a big ball of essence, one all powerful soul. Consider something along the lines of the Big Bang theory, as it would pertain to this ball of energy. It was split into hundreds of thousands of families.

The answer emerges to set personal goals higher. To meet someone who doesn’t make mountains… Continue

-1- Chris Thomas wasn't thinking of the end times, Armageddon, nor even Jesus the night the world began its lonely descent into Hell.

This was his typical pre work routine… Continue

One of my favorite poems is called "The Dash" by Linda Ellis. Written shortly after her grandmother’s death, it’s an eloquent invocation to live one’s life thoughtfully... So, what on earth is a dash and why should it count? We are born and then we die. But what really matters is what happens in between. By making a conscious choice to live our lives with passion and purpose, we can leave our mark on the world by leaving it in a better place than we found it.… Continue
