auti-spiritual(ism)

  Yes, I added a warning.  I do not wish to offend.  I do not intend to, and I endeavour not to.  But I have noticed that some people can be particularly offended by ideas they disagree with.  So, be warned.  You might disagree with a lot of what is written here. Now that that is over, let’s get on with my intro. It’s been a while.   I can see my last Spiritually inspired post was 5 years ago.   Wow! doesn’t time fly when one is being introspective! It has been a very interesting time.   So, the blog is now being updated.   It will be, as always, offering reflections and hopefully be as objective as I intend it to be. I will also start discussing some new philosophical concepts about the Universe and Spirituality.   New tags: ð   Post-Spiritual(ism) .   My beliefs are still spiritual.   My perspective is post-Spiritual.   So, the tag post-Spiritual(ism) refers specifically to Philosophical discussion...

Brace yourself for Jorg Coming soon to your computer screen Who said that spiritual people have no sense of humour?  Well, a good disposition, a positive mental attitude and a good laugh are very important in everyone's life. This is why we will bring you Jorg, his family, and friends; to make you smile after a long day of meditation, reflection, and self development, 

Source: NASA Today someone sent me a message on Facebook, claiming that the Rapture is near, and cited the fact that the Obamacare bill would require all Americans to wear an RFID microchip either on their arm, or forehead, linking it to Revelation 13:15-18 , and calling it the “the sign of the Beast” Personally, I am not excessively worried about the end of the world. If such thing as Judgement Day is to come, I believe I am reasonably prepared to be judged. However, I am always excited to find a new subject for a blog post, so I did a little research. Nothing major, a simple Google search. I always love to do generic internet searches as they yield the most amazing results, there is a lot of information out there, and it is fun to sift through what is available and attempt to assess the truth. The most reliable article , however, which has the most links to it, and which links to an online version of the Obamacare act , seem to indicate that the information is simply a lot...

You know what? I believe in GOD. He (or She, as women prefer to refer to her) talks to me all the time. He guides me, He enlightens me, He teaches me, He shares all my joys and my sorrows. I can feel the presence of God in every sunrise, in every sunset, in every gust of wind, in every child that is conceived, in every leaf on every tree, and every leaf carried by the wind. I have no doubt that God exists. And science does not shake my faith; on the contrary, it strengthens it. From the big bang theory, to the primordial wave, to the theory of evolution, all points to the fact that there is a greater power at work (creation and evolution are not mutually exclusive). I do have issues, however, with religion. I was born and raised a catholic. And this is where the problems originate. Dogma, doctrine, scriptures … believing something that puts into question my intellect and common sense. In fairness, God gave me my intelligence, and a brain capable of independent thinking. I am...

Lovers - By Lois Ruiz I accept that some people find homosexuality difficult to deal with! However, God gave us intellect for a reason. So here is a brief rant about this subject. Just as an introduction, this is not going to be a theological debate, nor am I going to discuss, or judge, or comment on religion here. I will leave those issues for some other posts, or for others to discuss. This post is about common sense! Whether one is gay, or otherwise, we all have brains, and we are all blessed with a greater or lesser degree of intellect. So, let us get in to the subject. English Standard Version You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. My question to the reader is very simple: why would a man would “lie with another man as with a woman”? I am sure it does not take much pondering, or cogitating, or debating, to understand that if a man wanted to have sex with a woman, he would do just that. There is no reason for a man to make love to...

A few years ago, I moved to the Philippines. This is a great place to be. Loving people, amazing beaches, beautiful mountains, finger-licking good food, I could not ask for anything better. I settled to live in the mountains of the province of Laguna, about 100 km from Manila. This is the best place for me to be. While within reasonable distance from the hustle and bustle of its great capital city, I am fortunate enough to enjoy fresh air in my surroundings full of coconut trees and rainforests, with beautiful sceneries, and colourful sunsets; newly harvested organic foods are always readily available, and people are delightfully relaxed. It is unquestionably rather idyllic. Sometimes, however, duty calls me to Manila. I must confess that I have a love-hate relationship with Manila. I love it because it is big, noisy, and buzzing, with an incredibly vivacious nightlife; it reminds me of living in London, and it has a very similar urban feel (I am not going to tread the dange...
