The Real Tie
Can you be paid in the sacred? If you can own it, can it be sacred? If I gave you a church, would it remain sacred? If I sold you communal wafers and wine, would they remain sacred? Would sold communion materials stay sacred? Anything that can become ours loses its sacredness, doesn’t it seem…

Recognize Common Culture
It has been discovered experimentally that even normal life maintenance will be put aside in extreme cases due to lack of meaningful interaction. The young will begin starving themselves. Mature adults will either refuse to defend themselves or engage in seemingly mindless violence. Why is this? Nothing to stimulate the social animal. We need to…

Study Shows Meditation Changes Brain after 8 Weeks by Sarah Clare
Many of us have felt the peace of meditation after just a few minutes of meaningful silence. There are long-term and far-reaching benefits to meditation that we may not realize, too.

Morph Perception
I find it’s best to keep to myself when I’m angry, and just write my thoughts down on paper, because all that energy wants to be released in some way. I really need a punching bag. Ah, that brings up the action part of flow as opposed to the state related part. Your state arises…

This also seems descriptive for a type 3 indigo. I do have many of these traits that alternate but know…
