Faith

Maybe it’s important to ask ourselves what do we really have faith in? Because if I am honest, the faith that I would call actual faith, the kind that gives me hope and confidence, is in things less objective. It’s not in the things I once imagined: a belief, what good morals I could stick …

The Evolution of My Theology: from Bible based to Essence based.

I've found it interesting that within the Western Church, we are not compelled toward critical thinking. We so readily accept what we are told without too many questions. For instance, I never in my most wildest and fundamentalist dreams would have thought that the idea of heaven and hell as we know it, comes from …

Essence and Form, What is the ?

God is Essence, without form. Though "He" lovingly and humbly descends to our level, "He" is not fixed on label & name. For, God Is Essence. "He" is impartial to the outward man, and sees with eyes we cannot comprehend. Into man, where most men dare not tread. But most are stuck outside, blind, a …

Inside

The only devil you have to fight is the one within, and it takes a lifetime to reel him in. And the way to heaven, there is no such thing as it. It too is right there within. You have all you need to enter in. Centered sit. No thoughts no script, feel for it.
