January Spore- The Unified Field

Alexandra DiFilippo — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:10:22 -0800

According to quantum physicists, a single unified field of energy connects all phenomena in the universe. Could understanding and accessing this all-pervasive field be the next stage of human evolution? Already, we witness many ways in which our world is connecting.

Spirituality and Modern Oppression

RevTRadus — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 01:29:04 -0800

Ever since 9/11 2001 we have seen a slow process of rights reduction. However this is actually at a faster pace now then ever before. The derogation of our rights in the US actually goes back many decades. The most notable was Nixon declaring a war on drugs.

This will be a slightly longer letter than common for the internet age—it’s serious stuff.

The short version is we want you to consider doing something hard: coming to Washington in the hottest and stickiest weeks of the summer and engaging in civil disobedience that will quite possibly get you arrested.

The Great Reskilling

ShalitaHale — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:59:15 -0700

For the last 50 years, throw-away consumer culture has led citizens of industrialized societies to forget many of the basic survival skills that have sustained humans for generations. Today, the impending challenges of peak oil and climate change leave our communities susceptible to the shocks and instability of centrally distributed hierarchical systems for life support.

Philadelphia Spore: The Future of Love

ShalitaHale — Fri, 27 May 2011 05:21:44 -0700

'Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.' ~Khalil Gibran

Meditation

As we become more accepting of ourselves, we learn to accept, respect, and love one another despite our insecurities and differences. We seek to extinguish our fears and to be both open to and accepting of love.

As untold gallons of oil gush into the Gulf, we are sadly reminded of that most vital ingredient to all life on Earth: water.

What Is Freedom?

Kitaki Two Crows — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 21:51:14 -0700

The 4th of July. It sparks very powerful images and feelings - patriotism, national pride, family, summertime picnics, fireworks, community. We are a very proud people in the U.S. - proud of our "freedom" and our "liberty". To most citizens, this day is set aside to bask in the glory of these "freedoms", and to "honor the men and women who have served our great nation".
