The Internet has become one of the most striking examples in history of why we need the gift of discernment. Scroll through any of the millions of posts or videos on spirituality or faith-based experiences, and it becomes clear: we live in a reality that often blends psychological concepts with spiritual practices, and while thisContinueContinue reading “Misunderstanding Spirituality: Untangling Magical Thinking and the True Essence of Spiritual Practice”

The Art of Becoming: A Reflection on Kurt Vonnegut’s Words
Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage—no matter how well or badly—not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow. Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of yourContinueContinue reading “The Art of Becoming: A Reflection on Kurt Vonnegut’s Words”
When Two Worlds Collide: A Reflection on Soul Connection, Chaos, and Divine Timing
There are moments when the universe speaks directly to you—through a song, a conversation, or even a message stumbled upon at what can only be described as divine timing. Recently, I came across a post titled “When Two Worlds Collide” that stopped me in my tracks. Its words struck a chord so deep it feltContinueContinue reading “When Two Worlds Collide: A Reflection on Soul Connection, Chaos, and Divine Timing”
Lay it down.
The Weight We Carry What are you holding onto, and why? Are you carrying the burden of proving your point to someone who isn’t even paying attention? Are you weighed down by grudges, betrayals, or the need to justify yourself? The truth is, holding onto these things doesn’t serve you. It hinders your growth, blocksContinueContinue reading “Lay it down.”
Actions and Consequences: A Universal Truth Across Belief Systems
I recently found myself facing the difficult realization that I needed to release someone—for the highest good of both of us. It’s never easy when God calls us to turn away from someone we care about deeply, especially when every part of us wants to hold on. But sometimes, no matter how much we careContinueContinue reading “Actions and Consequences: A Universal Truth Across Belief Systems”
Sunday Sessions: Living, Rather Than Looking, Forward
Life has an odd way of convincing us that fulfillment lies somewhere in the future—a destination waiting to be reached, a chapter still to be written. We spend so much time looking forward to what’s next: the next milestone, the next goal, the next version of ourselves that feels more healed, accomplished, or whole. It’sContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: Living, Rather Than Looking, Forward”
The Profound Language of Senses: Awakening to Higher States of Reality
In our everyday lives, we often think of our senses—sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell—as simple tools to navigate the physical world. But what if these senses were more than just biological mechanisms? What if they were expressions of consciousness itself, layers of awareness that not only anchor us to reality but also expand ourContinueContinue reading “The Profound Language of Senses: Awakening to Higher States of Reality”
The Beauty of Impermanence: A Spiritual Reflection
We had a freeze last night. This morning, I sat with the sunrise and watched as tiny, beautiful, seemingly glass spheres of frost clung to the trellis in our garden. As the sun rose higher, they gave way to their natural properties, melting and beginning to drip. Each droplet caught the morning light, sparkling forContinueContinue reading “The Beauty of Impermanence: A Spiritual Reflection”
Rejecting Foolishness in Faith: Why I Left the Church to Seek Wisdom
“They want me to be a fool.” That’s the thought that echoed through my mind as I sat in the pews of the church where I’d grown up. Week after week, I was told to trust without question, to believe without thinking, to obey without discernment. Blind faith, they called it. But I couldn’t ignoreContinueContinue reading “Rejecting Foolishness in Faith: Why I Left the Church to Seek Wisdom”
The Paradox of Solitude
Busyness is not fulfillment, and solitude is not loneliness. We live in a world that celebrates productivity and connectivity, a world that has reversed these truths. Society at large confuses constant activity with purpose and equates being alone with deprivation. This misunderstanding, I believe, lies at the root of much of humanity’s discontent. Yet, theContinueContinue reading “The Paradox of Solitude”
