Love Is Everywhere, Can We Find It?

Everything has an origin in Love or seeking Love. Because everything is borne of Love, everything is unconditionally beautiful, even the ugliest thoughts or the most wretched humans. 

I have a very close companion. She accompanies me everywhere- to work, to bed, to everywhere including the washroom! Even if she is not making her presence actively known, I can access her at a moment's notice. Her name is Doris.

Sometimes Doris is extremely loud, and she is all I can feel and hear. "Arghh you ugly slob. What's wrong with you?" "Why can't you do anything right?" "Gosh I hate you so much."

Doris may not be pleasant, but she is comfortable and familiar, since she has accompanied me since adolescence.

I have a weakness for Doritos. I know they aren't healthy, but I have a tendency to binge them. As another wave of cravings hit me, I couldn't resist any longer and ran to my secret stash in the closet.

Seeing the Divine in the Good, Bad, and Ugly

 “What did the spiritual seeker say to the hotdog vendor?”

“Make me one with everything”

Throughout history, humans have sought to understand their place in the world and the nature of the universe. One recurring theme is the idea that there is a higher power that governs everything, and that enlightenment or awakening involves “becoming one with everything”. This higher power is often referred to as God, Source, or the Self. It is said to be all-encompassing, permeating every aspect of existence, including the ugliest parts of ourselves and of humanity as a whole.

How to Achieve World Peace

World peace is a lofty universal goal, one that seems impossible. Surely it would require an insurmountable level of effort. Complete protection of environmental resources? Banning all firearms? Giving everyone a firearm? Changing our financial systems? 

What if I told you that you can take an effective step towards a more peaceful world right now?

What is Intellectual Indigestion?

In today's fast-paced world, there is a rush to consume as much information as possible in the shortest amount of time. Whether it's scrolling through social media feeds, reading news articles, or trying to learn a new skill, we're in a hurry to get to the next thing on our to-do list. Contrary to our societal norms, more and faster isn’t always better. Sometimes we have to go slow in order to go far, and this is especially true when learning about spirituality!
