On Individualistic Spirituality

In my opinion, on some social networks there appears to be a tendency to avoid challenges altogether in order to protect beliefs.

The rationale seems to be that the intent of the challengers is merely to « make wrong, » and that those who challenge are just not « confident in their own beliefs. »

But what then if the intent is not to « make wrong » ? What if the intent is to shed a different light ? What if the prompting comes from the heart and not the ego ? What if the… Continue

Satori : A Momentary Flash of Enlightenment

(« Emanation of light » by Limonc)

Back in 1998, I underwent a very peculiar experience, indeed, thus far at least, a once-in-a-lifetime event, which opened many doors for me and confirmed some of the directions I had previously chosen.

i remember, once, i couldn't walk

Architects Of Progress

it was a path, a road, a way forward

it was not just any other day

had it been the unusual sunshine

the melodies of the birds

or something in the air

she now knew empty

she had chosen progress

it had become possible

it was a number, a goal, an ideal

it was not just any other whim

yet, in a sense, how could it be otherwise ?

He's Not Afraid to Cry

I shuffled the deck well, and this is the card that came up on top: He's not afraid to cry, but he doesn't blubber at the drop of a hat." It's worth 2 points. Not a huge issue, obviously. Although, I will admit that the points on the cards are mostly random. We tried to make the points somewhat logical, but let's face it, everybody has their own priorities! And, it's really more fun to have the conversations (while playing the game), about what you think each card is really worth to you - and… Continue
