Love and Light

Seems that everyone who writes to me signs their letters "love and light." It has such a bright uplifting sound to it. Lightworkers are being taught to hold the energy of the light and to equate love with a warm white light that heals and protects. After what feels like an age of suppression and darkness, it all sounds like such a refreshing change, much like the first bits of sunlight after a long harsh winter. And so the pendulum swings. Still we do not find balance. Years ago a man came to ...

Women's Intuition

WOMEN'S INTUITION: The propaganda against the Jews may have originally been fomented by the Benjaminites who had been thrown out of the Holy Land by the people of Israel. The House of Judah or Merovingians had their Phoenician (Hyksos) kin-folks take these elite overlords to Arcadia in Greece and they went many other places where their trading empires were already established after that. The Golden Bough is a central resource for any student of religion and magic. In it we see Plutarch and ...

Psychology, Philosophy and the Paranormal

Beginning in 1992 when I first decided to become a ghost hunter, it never occurred to me that I would end up quitting my job and focusing strictly on paranormal investigation. This has become my new career. I made this decision after a series of occurrences while investigating some buildings and, having no explanation for these occurrences, decided to search for an answer. Today, over ten years later, I have discovered that there is no answer...just more questions. This led me to again attempt ...

Will the Angels Abandon Us?

If we don't behave according to a specific church's doctrine, will our guardian angels turn their backs on us? If we are struggling with our overall belief in God or we're questioning the validity of the holy books, will the angels abandon us? What if we believe in God and in the Bible, but we just feel like screwing off for awhile? Will they desert us? Do we have to be good and pure and perfect in order for angels to look after us? I can only speak from my own experience. I was not raised in ...

The Paradox of One And Many in Aikido Philosophy

Read about how we can better appreciate, empathize with, and respect the diverse people, energies, and opinions that we come in contact with on a daily basis. My Aikido teacher Koichi Tohei sensei used to say that in a healthy person the flow of their "ki" (the energy inherent throughout the Universe) is like the outpouring of an underground spring sitting at the bottom of a deep lake. The spring feeds water to the lake, much like we can feed the universe healing energy. The spring feeds the ...

Why I Became SDA

This essay will be in a couple of parts. It is not intended to be a heavily theological or apologetic work, just an outline of how I became a Seventh-day Adventist. Let me introduce myself by telling you a bit of my history. I recently earned a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from UCLA. I have a B.S. in Chemistry from Fresno State University. I became a Seventh-Day Adventist after converting to Christianity in college. Before that, I was a Chan (a.k.a. Zen) Buddhist for about a decade. I became ...

Integrating Soul and Science

"Spirit is beyond the void of space. This realm, beyond the void, is not an empty nothingness; it is the womb of creation. -- Nature goes to the same place to create a galaxy of stars, a cluster of nebulas, a rain forest, a human body, or a thought... That place is Spirit." (1) The idea of thought coming from Spirit is a little general and not something I agree with unless he means REAL thought rather than regurgitated thought. Deepak Chopra is a great and wonderful human being who escaped ...

Methods to Avoid Commonly Witnessed Automobile Financing Blunders

Sometimes when people sign up for auto finance, the result is they owe more than they had realized.

Two Kinds of Religions

Hollywood has brought another controversial film to the table, "The Kingdom of Heaven." This is Hollywood's version of the historical "Catholic" crusades that took place approximately a thousand years ago. This is as good a time as any to further the controversy. So in staying with the topic of religion, I would like to state that I believe there are only two kinds of religions in the world. First, there is the religion that teaches one must earn one's way to heaven. Buddhism, ...

Transforming Anger

All of us feel anger and hatred from time to time. Eastern meditation and mindfulness techniques can help us mange and transform our anger so that the energy contained in the anger benefits us instead of spreading misery in others and ourselves. It is important to note that although anger causes us pain we should not reject it or disown it. Suppose your stomach or legs or some other part of your body grew diseased and caused you pain. Would you for that reason try to get rid of your stomach or ...

Saints or Charlatans

What's the difference? How are we supposed to tell the difference between the real healers and those who are selling snake oil? It's a big seller to claim that your work is divinely inspired. Even better, tell them you've gazed into the eyes of God and come back to tell the tales. Tell them that in Ireland the wee folk are still spotted on occasion. It's far off and exotic. They'll believe you. Oh, how we love such tales. Those who have never touched the magic will always hunger for stories to ...
