Photographs…memories gained; memories lost

Last updated on: May 28, 2016 at 12:51 pm By Ron Madison

“I’m going to throw out them out!” It was her final threat. My wife had been after me to get rid of those boxes of photographs I had taken over the years…photographs of the kids, places we’ve been, things we’ve done. She was right, of course. We don’t have room anymore, since we moved from the big house to our small apartment. But throw them out? I couldn’t possibly do that without looking at them. They should be sorted and... Read more

The Archetype Most Essential To Conscious Evolution

Last updated on: May 28, 2016 at 12:40 pm By Robert Atkinson

The clash of opposites is inherent to life. We live in the world of light and shadow. Overcoming adversity keeps us on, and moves us along, the trajectory we are meant to be on. Psychologist C.G. Jung says that opposition is inherent in human nature: “Nothing so promotes the growth of consciousness as this inner confrontation of opposites.” Consciousness and confrontation of opposites are linked in one of life’s primary purposes: “Only here, in life on earth, where opposites clash...

We’re Made of Love—Uniquely So

Last updated on: May 28, 2016 at 11:00 am By Byron Belitsos

Conventional society is organized around the apparent solidity of our “egoic self”—how we have to show up in “polite” society in order to get the things we want and eventually make our way into normal adulthood. But with the growth of spiritual insight, our immature egotism gradually dissolves. We awaken to the fact that our supposed separate identity and our choice of our particular role in society is a mere construct, although it can be a very serviceable tool. We... Read more

What’s Adversity Got To Do With It

Last updated on: May 5, 2016 at 7:16 pm By Robert Atkinson

We like to think that things will go smoothly, that we can accomplish what we want without too much difficulty, that love will come easily, and even that growth can come without much struggle. Is this really the case, in the real world? Well, Tina Turner’s classic, What’s Love Got To Do With It, nails it: You must understand though the touch of your hand ... Read more

#DigitalFaith – Spiritual Exploration and Discovery Online

Last updated on: May 13, 2016 at 5:14 pm By Sable Manson

Despite the decline in religious affiliation people continue to express a desire to explore spiritual themes, especially opportunities to reflect on their beliefs, values, and purpose. Exploring one’s relationship with spiritual topics, if supported, can stimulate self-discovery, learning, and personal growth, however, many have grown hesitant to trust traditional religious venues (e.g. churches, synagogues, religious education). Houses of worships and religious education, once regulated how people engaged with religious and spiritual content however the proliferation of and access to technology... Read more

On the Beach: Where’d everybody Go?

Last updated on: May 6, 2016 at 6:18 pm By Ron Madison

Last night I happened to watch the 1959 movie “On the Beach.” It’s amazing how an old movie or melody or photo can stir up a long-forgotten memory that was once a vivid event in our life. Such was the case for me as I watched Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner in a black-and-white thought-provoker from 1959: The scene is Melbourne, Australia, in the 1960’s. A brief nuclear exchange between the super powers has killed everyone in the northern hemisphere.... Read more

When Is It Time To Let The Grief Go?

Perhaps my grief pulled on her like an anchor tying her to this realm at a time when she wanted to be fully focused in her new life. In the two years since her death I had cried plenty and long. Could those tears now be a drain on her? Was it time to let the grief go? Read more

To Spank Or Not To Spank: Is this still a question?

Last updated on: May 5, 2016 at 7:14 pm By Molly Wingate

“A father who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him keeps him order. ” New English Bible Proverbs 13:24 got it all wrong. Two researchers recently evaluated at all the studies about spanking over the past 50 years, and guess what they found? Kids who are spanked are more likely to defy their parents and generally have a harder time of it than children who are not spanked. Clearly, these findings show the opposite of... Read more
