We are weary by nature in many ways. The process of learning from mistakes, growing and evolving as we stumble through life can be daunting. Our struggles seem highly personalized as we meet with upset after upset. Of course, none of these feelings of exhaustion belong to one person nor are they anything new. It’s […]
EHYEH ASHER EHYEH Way way way back in the 13th Century BCE we have this fantastic story that emerges from the Babylonian Exile. Moses drops some of the trickiest Hebrew of all time with the simple use of “I Am the I Am.” I mean, this phrase has baffled scholars. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We’re all […]
As we dove into the roots of Christian history and Theology I feel it would be helpful to site some of the sources used. These are all titles I’ve read, or listened to, during the past few months. Feel free to study to your hearts content. They are all fantastic pieces of work with extraordinary […]

There’s a fair amount of what some would call Magick to my spiritual path. Seeing life as cyclic in some ways means respecting the cycles of seasons. No one needs a calendar to achieve this sort of practice. All they have to do is look up into the night sky and pay attention to the […]
That awkward moment when an introvert falls into the need to cooperate with others through study of protein synthesis. You just can’t make this stuff up. I spent most of my life pretty introverted and withdrawn into myself. At times I’ve had this deep sense that I am just diametrically opposed to the common worldview. […]
Some of us really go through it in life. Bad things happen at those developmental stages and we go off the rails. We run around with all this pain and our families and friends watch with horror as we descend into darkness. Most people don’t understand why we fall so they cut ties with us […]
We all know about mindfulness meditation. It’s an ancient practice that stretches back thousands of years. Most teachers start students off with some variation of awareness as the foundation of the spiritual path.
