Defeat in Worry
Worry is a very common mental habit, but it doesn’t add one bit to our effectiveness in dealing with things. We are encouraged to worry by social reinforcement. It’s supposedly how we show interest and investment in things, that we really care and are concerned, but generally it warps our presence in any situation. Can…

Live Your Moments
There’s this space you can get into where things go at super speed and you’re really there. It is similar to trance, full immersion, and it isn’t necessarily detached.

With the rise of the Holy Roman Empire they didn’t concede to allow all their traditions to be set aside in favour of purist views, and thus why they have the word Catholic to describe their faith, “universal”. But despite being linked…

Living Power
There are many solar deities, but they all share things in common. Both giving and punishing, both warm and potentially damning. Does this seem to refute our contemporary understanding of the sun? But in the ancient world, the power of the sun was considered a living power. They didn’t have this concept of living and…

Fire Signs
Evidence for early Jewish sun worship was the practice of burnt offerings. People across the world had observed that fires would “miraculously” arise. They were considered signs of God. Even in the story of leading Israel out of Egypt, and in Moses encounter with a burning bush, they observed that fire consumed things and shined…
