Sometimes life just seems to have led us down a dead end. This can be experinced as bad relationships, depression, low mood state, poverty and so on. There seems to be nowhere to go, no way out, and our dreams and desires are further away than ever. There is a way out. There is a way to get back on track.

What an interesting week this last week has been. All sorts of weird things happening to my Christian sisters it seems. One was very ill (she suffers from a rare disease sort of a like an environmental disease ) another hurt her knee running, another's husband had TWO serious heart attacks on Friday and it was also discovered he has diabetes, and another told me doctors have found maybe breast cancer in both breasts plus her ongoing problem with her stomach. Oh boy, makes Home sound so nice! I wondered though, why so much of this has not only been happening but why the Lord has put them all in my path. I wondered why he has given me such a burden for healing in others and that includes their pets....

Life at times gives us impromptu tests that at the time we think we have fail in our minds.

Jesus Christ is a great example to follow. Did Jesus die for us and loves us because of who we are? No! He died for us and continues to love us in spite of who we are.

Paul is led up a 512 ft. hill, Mars Hill, also known as Areopagus, and there he faces the Epicureans and the Stoics (and others). These intellectual giants represented the philosophical thinking of the day in which Paul lived. And when these PhD’s saw Paul, they sneered and considered him a vain babbler (seed picker).

Is life challenging you to take a bigger leap? Are you restless with the status quo of your daily routine? Do you feel you are flying blind with an invisible co-pilot?

Do we really think we can just ask God for some great position in life with out any preparation? Not hardly. Psalm 107 tells us that God sometimes brings storms into our lives to accomplish a purpose in us. And that purpose, I believe, is to prepare us for greater things.

Awareness constantly leads to more questions. The closer you get the farther away you are. One morning after years of writing, all the questions came up at once and then the next day the answers. The same questions and answers. Life is about experiencing all aspects of being from every conceivable angle, and so the questions may seem the same but the answers are slightely different each time. I have come to realize that the questions are more important than the answers.

After more than three decades of church ministry, I have come to one unsettling conclusion. Actually, I've come to more than one conclusion, but this one is the most depressing. That conclusion is simply this: all who say they are going to Heaven are not actually on the right path, going in the right direction. Most, of course, have the best intentions, but good intentions don't make up for going in the wrong direction.

Infinite Intelligence desires the abundant fulfillment of your earnest desires MORE than you do and has set up the universe to fulfill them.

There's a Native American belief that before we are born, we choose our parents. It actually ties in pretty nicely with the reincarnation idea that we prearrange certain circumstances before each li...

“They’re crazy!” That’s what they’re saying about us. The majority of the people in America at this time in history do not channel spirits, do not converse with angels or aliens, do not astral proj...

Has America known its finest hour? Are we losing our religion and sanity as well? What is wrong with our society anyway? These are baffling questions that are frequently being asked by more and more ...

Celtic knot work patterns have inspired mankind in many places throughout the ages. Mr. Choyt illustrates a few of the very different places where such art forms appear and brings out a more universal perspective to their meanings.

There is no such thing as a coincidence. Albert Einstein reasoned that, “God simply does not play dice.” While we may not fully understand the reasons behind certain events, there are laws and order ...

No one likes the word selfish or selfishness, yet to be completely enlightened selfishness is what takes you there. When one is completely selfish they move to selflessness which works in ones best interest and it is a conscious selfish thought which is a part of unconditional love not a result of it.

Many of you already own several lucky charms or talismans. You just may not be aware of the object's symbolism or meaning. Below I have compiled a list of some of the more popular and common good luck symbols that can be purchased in the form of jewellery, paintings or statues.

Talking about your “soul” and the deeper things in life is so frequently considered as spun out or weird in modern, take-away-eating, order-it-on-the-internet life, but if you are one of these people, you'll find that letting go of socialistic trends like these will free you in a way that you simply cannot be freed in a materialists world. The end result is inner peace that no material possession could ever come close to.

Echart Tolle has isolated a key concept called the pain-body. This shadow entity is the cause of all human suffering. We can dissolve it by shining the light of our present awareness on it as it emerges into consciousness.

“May you be blessed to know that the best way to do is to be.” In Corrogue I am practicing “the art of being.” This is a disciplined practice. As part of this practice I spend each day writing what I refer to as “Zen Pages.” This is writing four or more pages of reflections in the moment. I am blessed when these reflections mirror an experience of flow. This allows my hand to simply move across the page and the writing “to be.” This is my way of “doing” the writing.

Sometimes we need assurance that, despite appearances, all is well. When you find yourself stressing out about things that seem beyond your control, use this phrase and reconnect yourself with the truth.

The subject of stress management and college students is a bit of a tricky one. While it is no big secret that college students are under a lot of pressure each and every day while studying, the fact that they have such a wide variety of stress sources and triggers is what makes it difficult to assess and help them.
