ALL AND NOTHINGNESS.
In this post, I look at the esoteric meaning of the concept of Nothingness in contrast to its opposite, All and Everything.
Can there be something without the existence of nothing? (Btw, ever notice that nothing is a conjugation of 'no-thing,' just as nothingness is 'no-thing-ness.') But how can we say nothing exists if it’s nothing? Hmm, good question.
So then, it seems ...

WHAT'S YOUR RESTING POINT?
I suppose, when we apply the term 'resting point' to our lives, we may describe it’s the state in which we are most at peace. Or, we may refer to it as the set-point where our soul experiences complete stillness and silence within, regardless of the noise and commotion that might be going on outside.
For many of us, our resting ...

SUMMIT UNIVERSITY
In this post, I have compiled a partial list of books I have read and studied over the years, many of which have influenced the dialogues found in the (yet unpublished) Elysium’s Passage novel series.

IS THERE ROMANCE IN THE AFTERLIFE?.
The Elysium's Passage novel series I've been writing has many themes, but perhaps the most central is about the afterlife. Of course, the novels are fictitious, but some of my real-life encounters over the last ten years have been with those who have passed on to the spiritual dimension.
Have you ever wondered if, in the afterlife, you will be ...

STUPIDITY
There are many different kinds of stupidity, but cleverness is the worst.
From the Magic Mountain, 1924, Thomas Mann
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906 – 1945) was a prominent theologian in Hitler's Germany who spoke out against the tyranny of Nazism. He stated, most profoundly, that the greatest threat comes not from evil people but stupid ones.
If there were enough people of good heart, evil could always be ...

AN ENLIGHTENED DISCUSSION
The topic of enlightenment is multi-varied and so can be approached from a number of angles. I’ve posted a few articles on this topic before. In this supposed ‘age of awakening’ (I hope), I've included another post for those who might be interested in reading further on the topic.
As I was editing my third ELYSIUM’S PASSAGE novel, QUANTUM LEAPS, I noticed there was ...

The title of this post asks, "How Conscious Are You?" But before we pursue this question, it would be helpful for us to first understand what consciousness is. So where does one begin? Some might say you either are or you aren't conscious; you're awake or you're asleep. And yet how many think they are awake when in actuality, they go through life in what ...

The solid substance of things is another illusion. It too is a fancy projected by the mind into the eternal world. We have chased the solid substance from the continuous liquid of the atom, from the atom to the electron, and there we have lost it. Actualities have been lost in the exigencies of the ...
