The Visibility of Evolution
The Visibility of Evolution in our World Over the past 150 years modern science has changed the world. We have moved from knowledge of electricity to electronics and from the airplane to moon landings and drones. Humans have changed the face of the planet. Darwin gave us The Origin of Species and we have some clear ideas how man has changed, developed and transformed over large periods of time in a bio-physiological way. Let us be clear, however, that Darwin dealt only with human physical evolution. He did not deal with our spiritual changes or possibilities. It is very difficult for us who...

Some of the people still alive today can recall President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech about the Japanese attack on Pearl, Harbor on December 7, 1941. His stirring words were played all day over the radio: “I ask that Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.

Read MoreThe Higher Purpose of Pain
Pain is more than a warning sign From a strictly physical standpoint modern medical science has found that pain is a warning sign and should be treated. Emotional and spiritual pain, however, from a higher perspective have far different reasons for being a part of life. When we take for granted the fact that the entire universe has purpose, and humanity is a part of that purpose, we can understand that the tenacity of emotional pain is to help us reach a detached state of consciousness. In that way human disinterest has an important and even valuable place in human life. Gaining detachment...
Read MoreYou are not alone and you are needed
You are needed just where you are We often think to ourselves that we are the only ones around who have problems or challenges to overcome. In most of us there is a tendency to feel that we are alone in bearing this or that situation or challenge, only to find out that we are not alone. In groups formed for the purpose of looking honestly at ourselves, we hear other people share their troubles as well as the emotions arising from the problem they face. We find in time and with experience that we are not alone in having a problem to solve, a situation to heal or an obstacle to overcome. The...
