The Zeitgeist film shows the hard to debate connections between pagan symbolism and Christian tradition. Just a few key examples…
Some of this may …

After two years of serving in the kitchen of a yoga ashram I was “promoted” to the computer lab. After successfully installing a simple graphic card I was given the task of replacing a high-voltage power supply. I confessed to having no experience in this area …

In a video clip circulating the internet, Christian TV show host, Pat Roberston, explains how the Haitians “swore a pact with the devil.” This, he suggests, is why they experience so much hardship — such as the recent earthquake. Apparently the only way those poor African slaves were able to liberate themselves from French rule was by teaming up with the red-suited one. Call me crazy, but it sounds a little extreme. You’d think …

You’ve likely already heard of 15-year old prodigy, Akiane Kramarik, who paints pictures of spiritual visions she’s been seeing since she was four. Her depictions of Jesus I find very moving. It’s my impression that she’s been holding a paint brush for many lifetimes. How else can you explain why …

Len Biendron (www.lenbiedron.com) commented on a previous Metaphysical SF blog post (The Roswell Crash and Politicians’ Birthdays): …the most easily used reason to “do nothing” is that “the truth” is so very hard to define, let alone discover. I agree. That’s what makes the pursuit of Truth such a challenging game. Though, I disagree that anybody can “do nothing.” Doing nothing usually just means …

Why don’t we live in a constant state of astonishment? Is it because we are too smart? Or is it because we cloak the astonishing in familiarity to protect our own egos from falling into a state of incessant awe? A video clip was circulating on YouTube a while back (now pulled offline due to copyright infringement) where a comedian pointed out how people get impatient when their cellphone doesn’t have a clear signal — ignoring the incredible fact that their conversation is being beamed into space and then back down again. He cited …

(This is part four of my Response to Zeitgeist Movement. Click here to read part one.) Why are there so few records of the life Jesus? The Zeitgeist Movement says the lack of supporting accounts proves he did not exist. In my opinion the more obvious answer is that the Roman Empire burned all the other records. Historical records show that when Caesar took over Christianity the Romans destroyed any documents, teaching and scriptures about Jesus that did not conform to the established canon. The most obvious example is the …

Here are some photos from our Christmas outing to the “Woods of Esum.” I call them them the Woods of Esum because this particular city park, here in Stratford, Ontario, is a location used in my upcoming novelette EsuM. The first photo is actually a collage of the same location from last summer and now this winter. Quite the contrast Looks like two parallel universes. |
I was in shop with my son Jonah and they had “Happy Christmas (War is Over)” playing: So this is Christmas, This commonly conjures up images of John Lennon and Yoko Ono protesting hippie-style for world peace and an end to starvation. As I looked around the store it made me think how our daily purchasing decisions shape the world we live. Much more so than protesting or …

(This is part three of my Response to Zeitgeist Movement. Click here to read part one .) Zeitgeist: The Movie makes the point that outside of the Bible there exists few historical references to the life of Jesus. They conclude that if he was really raising the dead and healing the sick there would be more records of his existence …
