However, Again, the Battle Has Been Won

The loves of childhood and of adolescence cannot be subtracted from us; they have become part of us. Not a discrete part that could be severed. It is as if they had entered our blood stream. Our eternal purpose is as simple as making sure anytime we do anything be sure that it helps someone. … Continue reading →

You Been Unhappy, Haven’t You?

The origin of the World and the annulment of the World are not in me; neither are they outside me; they simply are not—they always occur, and their occurrence is also connected with me, with my life, my decision, my work, my service, and also depends on me, on my life, my decision, my work, … Continue reading →

Life–Abetted by the Stirrings of their Passionate Hearts

Educationists in mind, we know nothing about intelligence, in the same sense that medical doctors know next to nothing about health. That is why doctors do not concern themselves with health, and give all their attention to relieving us of sickness. Indeed, their definition of health is the absence of sickness. This is a perfectly … Continue reading →

Their Heavy Use Has Neurological Consequences

The little band of Saints who had been in the far western outpost of Independence, Missouri, for eight months, were having difficulties. That their problems might be better understood, it may be well to try and imagine what western Missouri was like in 1831. There were only twenty-four states in the United States of America … Continue reading →

This Confusion Has its Roots in Early Childhood

Of everything found in the entire human knowledge base, including both current knowledge and obsoledge, nothing in recent centuries has increased the life span, nutrition, health and wealth of our species more than that trace element we call science. Yet among the many signs that we are changing the deep fundamental of wealth is today’s … Continue reading →

We Joke About it All the Time

In reality, we all rely on more than one form of truth validation. We may turn to science for medical help, to revelatory religion for moral advice, and to face-to-face or remote validating authorities on other issues. We shift among these criteria or use combination of them. Many companies, political parties, religious movements, government and … Continue reading →

Where the Wind Blew and the Stars Sone Down

Haunting, eerie, mystical even at times a little frightening to those outside the shadowy half-World of the occult but compelling and demanding out attention. In 1884, Mrs. Winchester left New Haven, Connecticut, and the graves of her husband and only child, moved to San Jose, California, and began the obsession that was to last for … Continue reading →

Summoning Devils on Film and in Real Life

Much like the Winchester mansion and Mrs. Winchester, the Hellfire Clubs and medieval Sabbat believed that devils and demons should not be stern masters or slaves, but welcome house-guest, which is why Mrs. Winchester built what is now known as the Winchester Mystery House. It is easy to imagine how the combined grief of losing … Continue reading →

Are We Willing to Sacrifice Material Satisfactions or Give Up Racial Prejudices?

Dreams of loneliness, like a heartbeat drives you mad in the stillness of remembering what you had and what you lost, fly in the air where one has never been—and yet one knows not. Alan Turning is best remembered as the creator of an imaginary computing device that anticipated, and served as a blueprint for, … Continue reading →

There is Nothing Worse than a Father’s Fury—Don’t Get Godsmacked

Thus far we have been using a fairly standard theory of delinquency, though better rounded, than the usual statement. Let us recapitulate it: The early childhood of juvenile delinquents is “permissive” or “neglected,” depending on the point of view. They play truant and quit school as soon as they can. This is not necessarily a … Continue reading →
