The Real Vaccine

By William T. Hathaway
Our world now writhes like a wounded worm, helpless
to escape its torment, blind
to the cause but blaming
a bug: “Stop it, stomp it, strangle it!
Too late – inside us, breeding into billions of bugs!
Kill them, poison them!
But our poisons don’t work – oh no!
Swarming with new bugs! Hopeless! Dying!”
All the while Shiva whispers:
“Beneath your terror and turmoil lies the tranquility of the transcendent.
You’re trapped on the surface mind, tossed by the waves.
Now dive to the depths and merge with me.
In my bigness a bit of bugness won’t panic you.
You’ll gain immunity to the insanity.
Come on down, look around,
here is where your Self is found.”

Shiva, Lord of Transcendence

One Unbounded Ocean of Consciousness

By Dr. Tony Nader
Reviewed by William T. Hathaway

In his new book, One Unbounded Ocean of Consciousness, Dr. Tony Nader has attempted something very difficult and achieved it very well. He overcomes the conceptual gap separating matter from mind, science from spirituality, the human from the divine and takes us beneath these superficial dualities into a fundamental synthesis establishing the wholeness of life. He conveys the unity underlying all diversity, and he deftly and convincingly resolves the apparent contradiction between free will and determinism. Nader writes in a clear, step-by-step manner that makes this knowledge understandable and shows how it can benefit us as individuals. (more…)

The Great Romance of Shiva and Shakti

A cosmic love story celebrated on March 11

By William T. Hathaway

Long ago in Brahma-loka, the abode of the Gods, Lord Shiva was passionately in love with Mahashakti and determined to marry her. But one big problem prevented that: Mahashakti is the Divine Mother, the primal creative force who manifests the entire universe, including all the Gods and Goddesses. She is the active side of Brahman, the transcendental Absolute, the unified field that contains everything but is neutral, non-active, beyond it all. Mahashakti is too universal to marry anybody.

Mahashakti tried to explain this to Shiva, but he was too deep in love to be able to hear. She finally just had to firmly reject his amorous entreaties, and he stalked off, sulking and despondent. Shiva withdrew from the world and did nothing but sit in a cave and meditate. Without his active presence, the world started to fall apart. The evolutionary cycle of creation, maintenance, and destruction lost its dynamism and began to run down. (more…)

Honor, A Forgotten Concept In America

By Gabriel of Urantia

When we think of any of the Founding Fathers, we think of them as men of honor, which is the quality that seems to be lost in the manhood of American men today. Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines honor as:  “good name or public esteem : reputation; a showing of usually merited respect : recognition.” I would like to add that honor also is:  the quality of being trusted and being loyal to a worthy cause. Honor and loyalty go hand in hand.

Free will as a spiritual concept is not taught in grade school, or high school, or college and should be. God created all sentient creatures with free will, and for humans it is evolving into making honorable choices, which is doing the right thing because it’s just the right thing to do, not because we have to do it.

In the true kingdom of God, we are not forced to do anything. Mortals of honor on all worlds in time and space choose to obey God’s commandments, the divine code of conduct, which keep us on the path of rightness. We understand that if we don’t follow those universal laws and make right choices, negative things will happen. We understand that having a healthy respect for and fear of the Creator is in relation to realizing the cause-and-effect law of wrong choices. (more…)

It’s Easy To Get Off Track In Your Spiritual Discovery

by Gabriel of Urantia

I believe in the God of our founding forefathers of the U.S. Many of those men were Freemasons, and though some people say that Freemasons do not really know God, I say they probably know God better than those who say otherwise.  Before going into battle, George Washington, a Freemason, would kneel and pray to God the Father and Jesus Christ the Divine Son. Most of the designers and signers of the Constitution prayed for wisdom and guidance, including Thomas Jefferson, who made a pretty good deal when he purchased the Louisiana Purchase. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Alexander Hamilton also were men of faith and prayer, looking to Christ as their Lord. (more…)

6 Tips on Mindfulness for Daily Success

By Katherine Rundell

Nothing better than the balance between a good job, a family in harmony, healthy days and a calm mind, right? In adulthood, the tendency is to give importance to simpler issues in life, the so-called maturation. Everyone knows what they are looking for, but peace and tranquility is what everyone is looking for. To achieve this goal, some actions must be taken. (more…)

Discerning People Who Try To Become Famous On The Coattails of Famous People

by Gabriel of Urantia

Unfortunately there are selfish so-called journalists who try to, and often do, make themselves famous on the coattails of great men and women with their derogatory misrepresentation of those individuals. This has happened for thousands of years, and many a good person and their families have been hurt in various ways by such yellow journalism, which really isn’t journalism at all. Yellow journalism is based on sensationalism and crude exaggeration, which is misleading, with many falsehoods and information that is not truthful.

Many yellow journalists, with an agenda to create a juicy story, seek out apostates from a particular group with an ax to grind—either religious, political, or another type of organization. Usually the leaders of the group are targeted, and these journalists feed off of the apostates’ embittered perceptions of the former groups they once were loyal to. The more abusive and hateful the apostate is, the more exciting the story. Obviously, without the ethics of true journalism, which considers all angles and sides of a story, there rarely will be an entirely factual and truthful representation from these type of journalists, who are not really concerned about truth. They are “looking for blood” to feed those who thrive on hate. (more…)
