A Thought Sparkler
Does Christianity lean too heavily on the Apostles’ interpretations of what Jesus taught them? Only days before his crucifixion, Jesus said to Peter, “You ever err since you always try to attach the new teaching to the old; you are determined to misunderstand all my teaching; you insist on interpreting the gospel in accordance with…
Something to Know About Jesus
In ancient hermetic philosophy, there are seven universal laws. When one’s consciousness is in harmony with these laws, one’s life seems to be in balance. Some people make these laws their religion, but for me they are tools to help me better understand my connection to God and the Holy Trinity. My life is only…
Prayerful Meditation
When Jesus’ disciples asked him to teach them how to pray, he taught them what we now call the Lord’s Prayer. However, he preferred to pray in solitude and often went off alone to do so.

Not only that, but I was stepping into a realm my mother would call evil. My mother’s teachings were continuous, rigid, and very…
You Are What You Think
Thoughts are things! – Prentice Mulford Your thoughts have the power to manifest what you choose to believe. Like a boomerang, the thoughts you send out will come back to you and create your environment, good or bad. You are in control of your thoughts and what you choose to believe. Therefore, choose wisely, purely,…
The Story of Serah
She walks without a sound, glides actually, along the riverbank amongst the trees. Her long dark hair is in windswept layers, trailing carefree and soft over her shoulders and down her back. She wears a white cotton summer dress over bare feet or sandals, I can’t tell, because her steps are soundless as if she…
