It’s weird to think that humans are still on the journey to actualizing our full potential as a species. All other species, as far as we can tell, reach fulfillment in each generation, where the young develop to maturity as the adults nurture them along. For the most part, genetic codes and the drives ofContinue reading “Endangered Species”

The Reality in Your Hand
They are delicious – or can be. I’m sure you’ve had one before. Snow cones are perhaps the most popular and biggest rip-off treats at amusement parks and county fairs. Pack some shaved ice into a paper cone and drizzle your favorite sugary syrup on top. Three bucks, please. But have you ever looked moreContinue reading “The Reality in Your Hand”
Life in the Egg
Do you know why you’re here? Granted, ‘why’ questions can be notoriously difficult to answer, so let’s start even more basic: Do you know how you got here? Even that question assumes some understanding of what ‘you’ – or more properly “I” (Ego) – and ‘here’ refer to. For goodness sake, is there any pointContinue reading “Life in the Egg”
Our Longing for Perfect Love
One of the deep and universal principles of spiritual wisdom states that the wellbeing and fulfillment we seek in life cannot, and will never, be found in this world. Many religions misunderstand this principle to mean that our salvation lies elsewhere or awaits us in the afterlife, in another world beyond this one. Any interpretationContinue reading “Our Longing for Perfect Love”

Intentionally Human
In Next Steps I presented the “map” to a more authentic and fulfilling human experience, according to the perennial tradition of wisdom spirituality (Sophia Perennis) which has been active now for several thousand years across numerous cultures and religions. The spirituality and its map are the shared product and collective property of homo sapiens, andContinue reading “Intentionally Human”
Saved From What Isn’t Real
“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.” Albert Einstein Imagine that the triangle illustrated above represents and contains all of existence. InsideContinue reading “Saved From What Isn’t Real”

We’re not talking about a step-by-step itinerary prescribing every move, turn, and stop along the way. That would take the adventure outContinue reading “Next Steps”
