I never said that humans were the only co-creators.

No, you missed the point. Modern science over the past 25 years has actually been validating the efficacy of many things that were dismissed as “quackery” for the past 250. Practices like meditation, mindfulness, hypnosis, and even certain forms of energy healing are no longer just anecdotes...

Your reflections on the demise of physicalism and the rise of idealism are both timely and resonant. What stands out to me is not so much the “competition” between physicalism and idealism, but the reminder that both are metaphysical positions — interpretations layered on top of what is...

Over the past century, some of the most solid discoveries in physics and biology have revealed a universe far stranger and more interconnected than classical science once assumed. Quantum mechanics demonstrated that matter and energy do not behave as fixed, deterministic objects but instead as...

Just to clarify what I meant earlier when I said I don’t see chakras as “physically existing in the body”: I wasn’t trying to deny that some of them correspond with real physical centers (like the solar plexus nerve cluster, or the throat and thyroid). What I meant is that I don’t treat chakras...

Mainstream religions have usually had an uneasy relationship with their mystics: on one hand, they’ve drawn great depth and inspiration from them, and on the other, they’ve often viewed them with suspicion because mystics claim direct access to the divine outside institutional structures. In...

Well, I do personally agree with that position, if people allow use of a word that actually means "everything", such as "The Absolute", then this could work. Unfortunately someone will always come along to say, "but God is more than just that", trying to push from Pantheism into Panentheism so...

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I appreciate the time you took to lay out your concerns. My intention here was to give different philosophies their own place so that they would not be in conflict. You do realize that these different spiritualities were not created in a vacuum. Buddhism...

I selected Druidry because I have some far back Celtic ancestry, and modern Druidry is already eclectic to a degree. I do agree that Indigenous Spirituality is also a very good fit, but if it has no connection to your own culture, it could prove problematic. That said, there is no reason not to...

Hello friends, Like many here, I grew up in the Christian tradition. There was much I valued... community, love, the sense of Spirit, but over time the dogma felt limiting. It no longer resonated with my experiences, and I started searching for something that spoke more personally and...

I would go so far as to say, that it is one of the Laws of the Universe, that "God" is that which is such the epitome of ineffability, that if It were somehow, by chance, perfectly defined, It would by rule of this Law, inevitably transition its nature such that said definition would no longer...

This is fairly apropos, as pretty much anything actually attributed to malevolent forces, demons, "Satan", "Lucifer", "the devil", etc, nowhere near measures up to the atrocities of humans. Even in the New Testament, all the primary atrocities are attributed to humans, without any scapegoating...

Of course I've read the books... otherwise I would not have chosen that phrase ;)

What better way to understand the history and culture of the world than by reading its historical texts? Thus I am interested in what it written in all of the "holy books", scriptures, bibles, etc, as by reading them we better understand the views of others, and know their thinking, reasoning...

My "faith" is in my personal understanding of non-duality. That at the most fundamental level, we are all "One", united, in as much as science believes that the known universe originated from a singularity. That which separates us is a necessary illusion required for our perspective of the...
