We’re Living In A Spiritual Springtime

Last updated on: March 14, 2016 at 8:46 pm By Robert Atkinson

We live in a time of renewal. Not only is this a time of seasonal renewal, it is also a time of spiritual renewal.

The bigger picture holds the promise of rebirth. The rise and fall of civilizations follow this pattern as well. Ascent and descent make up... Read more

Solo Sex: Taking “Holy Orgasm” into Our Own Hands

Last updated on: March 14, 2016 at 4:32 pm By Gerard A. Murphy

As I wait kneeling in the dark, musty confessional for the priest to slide back the screen separating his side of the “sin bin” to mine, I go over one more time my list of venial and possibly “mortal” sins. It’s the liturgical season of Lent; I’m a dutiful and devout Catholic teenager: and I’m in the “sin bin” to wipe the slate clean. As I’m stumbling through my ‘list’ of offenses and come to the “harboring impure thoughts”one (a... Read more

Remembrance Is a Gift from the Soul

Last updated on: March 14, 2016 at 7:18 pm By Robert Atkinson

If the soul comes from its Creator, as the world’s religions agree, is it possible that it comes here with some kind of memory of its remarkable origin? If it did, this precious memory would surely be the most rewarding of all memories to recover. That’s why there is such a great power in remembrance. A story shared by many sacred traditions (including the Jewish legend, “The Angel and the Unborn Soul”) tells us, metaphorically, that we learn in the... Read more

St. Patrick: Shifty Beguiler of the Native Celts

Last updated on: March 15, 2016 at 12:34 pm By Gerard A. Murphy

It’s Paddy’s Day on Thursday, March 17th. So firstly, as a native Irishman living stateside, I’d like to set the record straight: the Irish don’t eat (nor particularly like) corned beef! Traditionally we’re bacon & cabbage gobblers; but corned beefers? Sorry. That’s an immigrant Jewish practice their starving Irish neighbors adopted out of necessity. According to thekitchenproject.com, when the Irish arrived in America, they couldn’t find a bacon joint like they had in Ireland so they settled for Jewish corned... Read more
