Divine Consciousness: What Being Saved is Really All About [caption id="attachment_1321" align="alignright" width="199"] Divine Consciousness[/caption] What does "being saved" really mean? I am sometimes asked, "You frequently use the words 'conscious' or 'Divine consciousness' or 'higher states of consciousness' and, sometimes, 'awake' or 'awakening'. What do you mean by these words?" Wh ...

You Don't Belong to Any Church: You Belong to God
Date: 01/05/2015
You don't have to be a student of political science to recognize that there is no perfect, man-made governing system. Even democracy -- which is not what we live under in the United States -- works better on paper, or parchment, than it does in real life because, though we theoretically operate with the concept that every single adult -- male or female -- has equal say in how things are run, in r ...

Just moments before we vie for a space as we attempt to merge in line to pay the toll.

Are House Cats Smarter Than Humans?
Date: 12/19/2014
It's time to bring to a close the age-old debate about whether dogs or cats -- and the people who prefer one to the other -- are smarter.

Surely, we humans are wiser than ...
