Heather Fraser – It’s so easy to get lost in the details and dramas of ordinary life.
Of course, they only seem like details and dramas if we are caught up in the whirling “Tazmanian Devil” energy of the mind.
In this chaotic, never happy place, the soul of life is completely unavailable to us.
Soul is what makes us feel richly alive, passionately open, and reverently blessed by our earthly existence, and that is something uniquely individual for each of us. Continue reading
Iam Saums – What I choose to write about is not popular. The readership for the subject matter is few and far between. I am aware of this, and I embrace it. For the majority, personal awareness, evolution and understanding is irrelevant amidst the chaos, mania, narratives and psychoses of social reality.
Amusement, entertainment, alternative, mainstream and social media, politics, religion, science and sports reign supreme in the clouded minds of the masses.

Brooks Agnew – It is mortal to think of the soul existing inside the body. It is immortal to realize the truth. The body resides in the soul. In the context of scholastic teaching that man is composed of body and soul, the question arises how the relationship between these two elements is to be conceived.
Man’s soul is spiritual in nature, so how can such a spiritual principle be related to the matter of the human body? The disproportion between matter and spirit seems so great that it is difficult to conceive how both can be joined in man to form an essential unity. Continue reading
