Transformation of the caterpillar and re-awakening of the soul

March 16, 2024

Using a ‘physical’ metaphor to explain a ‘spiritual’ principle is useful. However there comes a point when such metaphors break down.

Do you have faith?

December 31, 2022

What is faith? Where does it come from? Have you been faithful? - tends to mean have you kept your promise to be intimate with, and committed to, only the person to whom you made that promise. It is a form of faith that leans towards the idea of a...

The best way to live intelligently

November 21, 2020

No one teaches us self-awareness and self-understanding. Yet, if we do not understand our self, we cannot manage our self and, therefore, our relationships, roles and responsibilities. As a result, we learn to believe life happens to us and we live from ‘outside in’. We will often play victim. But...

Nature’s beauty is a reflection of our inner beauty
