Two tectonic plates – Homo Sapiens and Homo Sapiens Sapiens – are clashing and creating earthquakes that will eventually divide the globe into two new subspecies I’ve dubbed Homo Sociopathicus and Homo Spiritualis. One clings tenaciously to personal ego and tribal gods, while the other commits fully to love and unity. Read more

0 Comments
Money. especially in Western culture, is so intimately tied to health, happiness, security, and opportunity, that it is hard not to respond to it as an actual object of control — a thing or an entity which we must continually consider, defer to, and work for. Read more

Eucharist and Resurrection as Visionary Experiences
April 29, 2019 By Father Seán ÓLaoire, PhD
0 Comments
A vision is simply a dream you have while you are awake, and a dream is simply a vision you have while you are asleep. In Celtic thinking, liminal spaces are called, ‘thin places” (in Gaelic, ‘caol áiteanna’), antechambers to other dimensions, conferring altered states of consciousness on the courageous pilgrim.

Jacob’s Ladder
April 17, 2019 By Father Seán ÓLaoire, PhD
0 Comments
Watson and Crick’s double helix of DNA, whirling around itself, is very much an alive ladder, not just an inert artifact fashioned once and then abandoned. It is the Jacob’s ladder of Genesis, touching Earth at a “Caol Áit” (Thin Place) that acts as a portal between the mystical and the mundane. Read more

You could say that the conductor is the only member of the orchestra who does not make music; or you could say that the conductor is the one producing all of the music.

At some point in life, if we are very, very lucky, we meet an individual who not only teaches us the personal and relationship lessons we need to learn on our path, but who also moves us forward by showing how and why the game of life is worth living. Read more
