Sometimes in life we actively seek change. We are dissatisfied with our present conditions, or we are satisfied but believe we could be even more satisfied if some things were different. This is healthy, though the latter state more so, because it gives us purpose, reason for being.

How Spiritual Should I Be?
People engage with the concept of Spirituality in many different ways and degrees of intensity.
Perhaps they are inspired by organized religion, or an unrelated Web search leads them that way by chance, a particular title catches their eye at the bookstore, they visit a psychic (from need, curiosity or both), they attend a Spiritualist meeting…
It’s not a question of whether we should be Spiritual, or how Spiritual we should be. We are Spiritual and can’t be anything else. (more…)

Is the Universe Indifferent?
Some scientists, such as the atheist biologist Richard Dawkins
, say we live in an indifferent universe. The universe, and all that it contains, exists purely by chance. There is no meaning, no significance, everything simply just is.

Dogs, Destiny and Free Choice
Ever wondered what you have in common with a pet dog being taken for a walk on an extendable leash? The dog has a limited freedom, sometimes greater than others, but the overall pathway is always determined by his master.
