Is Karma Real?
02/23/2009 by JM @ spiritualityguide.com
I've been exposed to a number of differing versions of the karma story. Some say it is about a life balancing thing – live a bad life now and you pay for it later. For others it can be almost instant where doing something bad now can cause an...
Is it the Matrix?
02/22/2009 by JM @ spiritualityguide.com
Imagine The Matrix world - what if the computer simulation already had characters running around, operating according to basic programming. Neo wants to join the game, so the computer 'models' him and then overlays that model onto a generated...
Spirituality

If there is one subject that generates an amazing amount of dialogue, discussion and argument without ever apparently reaching a conclusion, it would be Spirituality. Not only do people disagree about what version is most appropriate to our lives,...

Love and Hate
02/19/2009 by JM @ spiritualityguide.com

14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine...
Apathy
02/18/2009 by JM @ spiritualityguide.com
I was in a discussion recently about Apathy. A person was saying that because of trauma, they were deep in apathy for a good part of the past few years. That raised my interest – I don't know if shutting off because of pain or trauma can be...

Fire – Face to Face
02/15/2009 by JM @ spiritualityguide.com
Standing in front of a fire place on a cold night is a comfort – we watch the flames leap and cavort, we hold out hands to get warm and we relish the time spent with loved ones in such a room.A cold burn set by humans to clear the undergrowth can...

Fire - Trauma

In our world it seems everything is becoming more and more geared towards safety. The government passes laws almost daily to curtail injury, to allow them to fine people who might put themselves in harm’s way.Our children are coddled and swathed...
The Corporate Church? Huh?
02/12/2009 by Linda Williams @ lifeasachristianwoman.com
I keep hearing a phrase that I personally don't like: The Corporate Church.First, the church is the people, by definition. Not the building, not the staff, not the money, the people. And while I understand the financial needs that exist, and the...
A Brief Excursion
02/12/2009 by JM @ spiritualityguide.com

Enlightenment Avenue
02/11/2009 by JM @ spiritualityguide.com
The only way to advance, IMHO, is to rely on Self. It is what YOU understand about YOU that matters. Short of perfect telepathy, nobody can tell you about you. They can suggest things to try and point a direction to follow but it is you who must go...

Cult Aversion
