How to choose a President
Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By gsdouglas

What is happiness?
Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By rdahlquist
by Nick Broadhurst Honestly, what is this thing called happiness? It is obviously linked to our survival. In our natural state we might be happy. Happiness seems to preside in the absence of pain. Pain is the warning of loss and too much pain brings about death. The pain signal shows the organism is in the proximity of a destructive force or object and to ignore the pain would bring about death. It does not matter if it is a burn or... Read more

How to find your greatness
Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By rdahlquist
by Nick Broadhurst People may think that greatness comes from waging a war or ending the existence of one’s foes. That simply is not true. Greatness is that compassion which stems from inside you. It is not about how well, or how many, people you have vanquished. L. Ron Hubbard wrote a message decades ago called What Is Greatness? It is a lesson for Scientologists and non-Scientologists alike. This is my review of it. People get attacked and hurt for no apparent reason often... Read more
