by: Bryan Hyde September 9, 2011

By Bryan Hyde Humans tend to remain oblivious to all but the most tumultuous changes.

by: Kevin Mogavero September 7, 2011

By Kevin Mogavero “Named must your fear be before banish it you can.” ~ Yoda Ya’ gotta love Yoda!  The thing I love most about this particular quote is that he ends the sentence with, “you can.” Which is a pretty powerful assumption – that you can banish your fear.

Replacing Subtle Lies With the Elusive Obvious

by: Garrett Gunderson July 13, 2011

By Garrett Gunderson Blatant lies are easy to recognize and avoid; the subtle lies can ultimately be more destructive because they are much more difficult to detect and uproot. Subtle lies seem to make sense and to carry a certain air of credibility. They are often supported by supposed proof and factual evidence that spread [...]

Transcending the Ego

by: Steve D'Annunzio July 11, 2011

By Steve D’Annunzio Devotion to the ego-self is an addiction to one’s own thoughts. Devotion to the God-Self comes down to a commitment to witness your thoughts without taking them personally.
