Sins of the Fathers: Intergenerational Trauma and a Trump Nation

Last updated on: November 9, 2016 at 8:07 pm By Andrea Hollingsworth

On the eve of the election, as the results were just beginning to trickle in, I was guest lecturing to a group of college students on the topic of epigenetics and Christian ethics. Epigenetics is a relatively new field in genetics. It’s producing increasingly incontrovertible evidence that the things we experience and endure during our lifetimes, including and perhaps especially trauma, can make a lasting biological imprint. Furthermore, this imprint can, it appears, be passed on to one’s children, grandchildren,... Read more

Astrology of the US Presidential Election, Part Two

Last updated on: November 8, 2016 at 1:09 pm By Kate Sheehan Roach

***Matthew Curry’s horoscope blog is coming soon to Patheos.*** Last time I pointed out how the current Neptune-South Node conjunction is making America appear to be more or less completely off its rocker, just in time for the presidential election. In fact I went so far as to declare the election would be lost by America itself. Nonetheless, many of you continue to look at this election in traditional terms and insist that there has to be a winner. Okay, here... Read more

*** Matthew Currie‘s horoscope blog is coming soon to Patheos.*** Hello dear reader. My name is Matthew Currie. I’m an astrologer, and I’ll be doing forecasts here at Patheos.

Rude Drivers and Other Holy Mysteries

Last updated on: November 1, 2016 at 1:13 pm By Andrea Hollingsworth

I can’t stand it when other drivers merge at the very last possible second. Recently my husband Ryan and I were inching along on 35W near downtown Minneapolis, our hometown. I was driving, and had diligently placed us in the slowest and most popular lane, the middle lane, because this is the lane you need to be in if you want merge onto 94W. As we edged along with the other 94W-bound people, I prided myself in the fact that... Read more

How to Brainwash Your Monkey

Last updated on: November 1, 2016 at 1:22 pm By Michael Wayne

With the presidential election upon us here in the U.S., I have found myself being a keen observer of the electoral horse race. Specifically, I have been astonished by the ridiculous and nonsensical things people believe within the context of the presidential campaign, particularly among supporters of Donald Trump. Trump supporters have been making statements that fly in the face of truth, saying such things like: Hillary Clinton has Parkinson’s, MS, AIDS (the AIDS is because of Bill Clinton’s dalliances...

Resolving the Paradox of the One and the Many

Last updated on: November 1, 2016 at 1:16 pm By Robert Atkinson

A goal of our common spiritual heritage is the resolution of the paradox that reality is both one and many. We are born into the realm of dualities, but we had our origin in the realm of oneness. Did we leave that behind and come into a different world? Wait, aren’t they both part of the same reality? Isn’t there only one reality? That would mean our perspective changes as our consciousness changes – and evolves. We start to become... Read more

Show Up to What Shows Up

Last updated on: October 17, 2016 at 11:41 am By Guest Contributor

Written by guest blogger Philip Bourdon How do you respond to significant and “unexpected” circumstances such as being offered a new job, being fired from a present job, having a bad car accident or discovering that you are seriously ill? If you are a conservative evangelical Christian, most likely you simply consider it “God’s will” and leave it as that. If you are a more “progressive” Christian or metaphysician, you probably search for the causes to the effect and try to... Read more

The Necessity of Unity in Diversity

Last updated on: October 18, 2016 at 2:43 pm By Robert Atkinson

While Absolute Unity, or nonduality, has always been the nature of the eternal realm, dualities here in the temporal realm dominate, and are often seen as conflicting. How are these oppositions to be reconciled if we want to achieve the promise of harmony and world peace? The good news is we have a built in pattern for accomplishing just this. Opposites confront each other, creating a purposeful tension (muddle), which calls for a “higher synthesis” (resolution), ultimately bringing about transformation.... Read more
