Spirit of Fear
We are believing creatures. We used to believe in life, the fundamentals of life, nature, survival, wisdom, death. We considered things that are even true today. They considered the stars, the way of the world as a whole. The first city dwellers were shamans, and even they didn’t remain there all year round. They came…

First Cities Were Sacred
We get the word civic from the same source as the work civil. Civic, civil, city are words sharing the same broad domain of meaning. They used to speculate that cities may have arisen for economic reasons, and this notion served the one percent quite well. It’s actually not true though, and in fact, if…

The passage of time is largely irrelevant, but the state of mind that we typically associate with the lost and confused ghost doesn’t often persist for very long. Eventually, they become accustomed to their struggle. Their…

Dreams within Dreams
Shall we venture into the ghostly realm? Incarnating is like treading water. You have to invest a fair amount of your total energy into maintaining the physical state. Fortunately, reality as a whole is rather efficient at using energy, and thus we, for the most part, are unaware of this effort to exist. We are…

What is Love? by Christine Kane
What is love, really? Is it an emotion, just a feeling? Is it something to do with chemistry or biology; something about pheromones and animal attraction? Is it a mental state? A deliberate decision made by a reasoning person? Is it spiritual or just mental? A biological quirk, designed to promote procreation or a bad…
Could our understanding of consciousness and soul evolution suggest that plants and trees are repositories of ancient wisdom? How might…
