I was talking to a friend last night who told me they had come across something from a reputable source that apricot seeds held a possible cure for cancer. We were talking about the huge cost of cancer research and the beyond imagination industry of cancer drugs out there, and how terribly upending it would [...]

And if I am living my spiritual life out as best I can, from moment to moment, I will be living “prepared” for anything…whether the universe turns inside out and new dimensions of existence come into view chock full of aliens and zodiacal alignments and explosions of mystical consciousness and realignments of all kinds and [...]

There will always be cases where we have to simply care for others because they cannot make it on their own. But just be careful how this is done and you don’t fall prey to misplaced compassion, and end up being used like doormat by someone and sucked dry by them. This will happen too [...]

One of the great tragedies of life is that it is so very short and we never say what we really want to say all through life about those we love and care about. We wait until someone is dying to tell them that we love them and care about them. This is so sad. [...]

Building on the foundations of what St. Paul was laying down in the reading yesterday regarding forgiveness, he takes it a step further. He says not only do you want to let your ‘enemy’ go, you take an active approach towards them with acts of goodness in return for their offense. For example, if someone [...]
