LICK YOUR PUPS: HOW NURTURE AFFECTS NATURE So there’s this wonderful research by Dr. Moshe Szyf and Dr. Michael Meaney that came out of the McGill University a couple of decades ago. They’d noticed that some rat mothers licked their pups after being handled by members of the team while others sort of ignored the […]
The above statement is one I heard repeatedly at the start of my spiritual healing. We intellectuals don’t tend to put much stock in emotional intelligence and rely on logic to make our decisions for us. While this can be very useful practice I can now, albeit somewhat begrudgingly, admit that I actually exhibited little […]
We talk about secret teachings and hidden wisdom all the time. Allegories and mysteries seem to be at the heart of mystic Christianity. Anyone who has ever read a gnostic text knows exactly how they play up the mystery of the journey within. But… I’d like to demystify inner transformation and invite you to study the opening lines of the Gospel of Thomas with me. Click the link for more.
Before I kick off another vlog on how to seek hidden wisdom I feel it’s important to look at the hidden-ness of Thomas. A lot has been written on the secrets of the logion that I feel scares people away from their treasure. Lets take a look at what hidden wisdom is buried in the opening lines of Thomas and see if we can’t find something less enigmatic together. Click the link for more.
“To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see and hearing they may not understand.” -Luke 8:10 There were obviously hidden threads in the Gospels but I doubt they were nearly as secretive as […]
“If your religion doesn’t bring you lasting peace then you’re better off with a Pepsi because at least that quenches you’re thirst.” -Lama Thubten Yeshe I woke up angrier than I’ve been in a while. It didn’t make any sense. I just visited family and spent some time in the mountains. Had an actual Christmas […]
BEHOLD, THE KINGDOM OF G-D IS WITHIN “Go, call your husband, and come here.” The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said […]
Remember the post called All 6’s & 7’s? We talked about the Six ceremonial jars used at the Wedding At Cana and how they relate to the 6 Days of Creation right. Well… hold on to your mystical hats cuz we’re about to go on a rollercoaster ride of esoteric wisdom on this one. “He […]
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. -Genesis 1:1 Seems pretty straight forward right? Well, having recently learned how to read Hebrew I’d say it’s anything but straight forward. The syntax is incredibly elusive and doesn’t really translate into English very well. In fact, Genesis 1:1 was quite the point of contention as […]
Struggling is a part of the human experience. We all know the ‘grow through what we go through’ quotes. We have all of these maxims, but what do we do when the rubber hits the road? Do we throw our compassion out the window and watch our faiths die? No. We journey within and seek a divine solution. ‘Count it all joy when you go through trials’ right.
