My search for a spiritual “science”
Sir Francis Bacon, 1561–1626, is best known for leading the scientific revolution with his new “experimentation and observation” theory, which is the way science has been conducted ever since. Using this new method, much progress has occurred in the physical and social sciences. By experimentation and observation of the physical world, science has learned much […]
Existential Seeking
As I studied all religions, I did find Each one had not always been so kind. When they have acted lovingly instead, They have followed this golden thread.

My Journey
It wasn’t until many years later, after composing the “Religion” poem, (previous post) looking at my journey in retrospect, that I realized I had traversed through a trajectory of those three distinct mindsets. I later termed them exoteric, mesoteric, and esoteric paradigms. My lived experience gave me insight I could not have gained any other […]

The beginnings of the new age
The beginnings of the new age Because this blog might seem like a mission impossible, I have to say this. “As always, should you or any of your Friends be caught reading this, I will disavow any knowledge of your actions. These pages might self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, dear reader.” I respect […]
Love Neighbor, one of three truths of Jesus
Too many times, I have seen or heard this sarcastic remark, “He’s not a Christian.” These snide comments are meant to slander and besmirch the character of the other person. But do they? Do you care? I care because I love Jesus and his original Christianity. But I must speak about this. Do these condescending […]
