A little known fact about farting and spirituality

Last updated on: August 16, 2016 at 2:34 pm By Sarah Lawrence Hinson

Are you brave enough to laugh about farts or is it just a well-kept family secret? Sometimes laughing about something so simple, basic and human can be very unifying (if sometimes a little unpleasant smelling). Read more

John Wayne vs. The Buddha: The Quantum Mind Gets Political

Last updated on: August 5, 2016 at 7:21 pm By Michael Wayne

John Wayne represented the quintessential go it alone American, ready to stand up and fight for American values. This was the role he played in many of his movies – whether he was the cowboy, the outlaw, or the solider – and his personal political viewpoints were mirror images of his movie roles. This viewpoint reflects the belief that it’s my country right or wrong, and that you’re either with me or against me. It’s rugged individualism at its finest (or... Read more

Quaker Indian Schools: A Legacy We Need to Heal

Last updated on: August 5, 2016 at 7:12 pm By Molly Wingate

Quakers have a good reputation for respecting other people and for education, so you would like to think well of the Indian schools run by Quakers in the US in the 19th and 20th century. There were 30 such schools and some lasted until the 1960s. While these schools were better than some and the Quakers who taught there wanted the best for the children, what they thought was the best contributed to cultural genocide. How do we come back from that? Read more

Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Shefali Tsabary discuss The Awakened Family

Last updated on: August 4, 2016 at 3:13 pm By Bridgitte Jackson-Buckley

First, here are a few words from Oprah’s next Super Soul Sunday guest, Dr. Shefali Tsabary: “The other day, this tall strapping man in his mid-forties came to me to explore his particularly difficult relationship with his father. He said to me, in a voice that turned plaintive–like that of an eight-year-old, “Will I ever meet my father’s expectations? Will he ever accept the man I’ve become today?” “Parents, few hold a greater power or more immense responsibility. And this is... Read more

Love Is But the Song We Sing, and Fear’s the Way We Die

Last updated on: July 23, 2016 at 10:35 am By Michael Wayne

The title of this post, “Love is But the Song We Sing, and Fear’s the Way We Die,” comes from the classic 1960’s song “Get Together” by the Youngbloods. Some might dismiss this as a 1960’s utopian peace, love and granola song, but the words ring true decades later: Love is but the song we sing, And fear’s the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Know the dove is on the wing...

The Heart of Our Common Spiritual Heritage

Last updated on: July 23, 2016 at 10:34 am By Robert Atkinson

The whole reflects the part, and the part influences the whole. The collective reflects the individual, and the individual contributes to the collective. The journey of the whole mirrors the journey of the hero. Whatever we call it, the Force, Supernatural Aid, the Creator, its design is the same for the whole as it is for the part, for the collective as it is for the personal. Reality is an indivisible oneness. When it comes to the evolution of consciousness,... Read more

How to Die in Oregon and the Controversial Act of Dying with Dignity

Last updated on: July 23, 2016 at 10:30 am By Bridgitte Jackson-Buckley

“Thinking and talking about death need not be morbid; they may be quite the opposite.  Ignorance and fear of death overshadow life, while knowing and accepting death erases this shadow.” ~Lily Pincus The thought of dying often evokes fear and apprehension in people, and remains a subject that most people would altogether rather avoid talking about. Considering the fact that we now live in the era of technology, the discussion surrounding end of life issues has been placed in the... Read more

A lesson in gratitude when the AC goes out

Last updated on: July 23, 2016 at 10:19 am By Sarah Lawrence Hinson

The United States of Iraq: Is it Evolution or De-evolution

Last updated on: July 19, 2016 at 12:21 pm By Michael Wayne

I live in the United States. In recent weeks, the amount of societal strife, through police shootings of unarmed black men, and then of the police being fatally shot themselves in Dallas, has escalated and reached a point where we are witnessing a certain level of societal disintegration. On top of the most recent incidents, there were the shootings that took place in mid-June at a gay bar in Orlando, Florida, and that, along with countless other acts of violence... Read more
