The Creative Possibilities of Peace

by | Aug 23, 2017 | , ,

Being “created in the image and likeness” of the Original Creator, we are, each one of us, created to be creators. This is our most fundamental spiritual identity. We are born to be creators; and, all creative power is given unto us to fulfill our purpose as creators. If we are not living in alignment with the truth of our spiritual identity, our lives become dysfunctional and chaotic, making peace all but impossible. We are capable of creating anything that we can conceive of in our minds....

Peace Is The End Game

by | May 28, 2017 |

Peace is my favorite word. Seriously, out of every word I could possibly choose, without a doubt, my favorite is peace. As a word, peace not only sounds pleasant, but to me, it also feels like the experience it defines. Even more than just the way it sounds and feels, I love the word peace, because, I believe that peace is the end game, the very purpose of our lives. Peace Is The End Game Whether we consciously realize it or not, the experience of peace is the condition we seek every time we...

The greatest gift any man can give to another, or indeed to all of mankind, is to live his life to the fullest of its potential, grounding his every action in a profound sense of love for all, especially his own self, giving his deepest most divine creative gifts without reservation or shame, and modeling the...

If Peace Were Dollars

by | Apr 22, 2011 | ,

For the entirety of my life as an American, I have heard the adage, "War is good for the economy!" You've probably heard it too. In fact, the idea itself has become so finely woven into the fabric of the collective American psyche that we have all but ceased examining if it is actually true. Is war good for an economy?The idea itself really began taking hold in the American consciousness during World War II. Previously in the grips of the Great Depression, Americans began to be thankful for...

There’s No Need To Fear. Underdog Is Here!

Speaking mostly in rhymes, and strengthened by his "Underdog Energy Vitamin Pill," which he stored in the...

Each and every instant of each and every day, every single organism on the planet is actively, though not always consciously, participating in a grand and constantly unfolding cosmic evolution of the universe. This "master" evolution includes, every single person on the planet, including me and you.
