The Intelligent Universe - Blind Chance Requires Too Much Faith

When you review the facts straight-laced, mainstream science is by far a bigger fairy tale than intuitive spirituality. Nowhere is this more evident than the scientific dismissal of an intelligent universe. Science types who consider themselves conservative often scoff at spiritual concepts like universal intelligence, insisting the cosmos is the result of blind chance.

Success Tip - Become Part of Your Favorite Success Stories

People have the tendency to assume great success is something only other people experience. However the world's most amazing success stories are about everyday human beings who believed in themselves and took consistent action. For a variety of reasons it's difficult for most people to imagine themselves enjoying spectacular success.

Life After Death and the Beginning of Time - Does it Really Matter?

Are speculations over how time might have begun and what happens to our consciousness after the body dies really the most pressing of spiritual issues? Isn't how we embrace the present moment far more critical to our growth and our ability to contribute to the world?

Thoughts flow through your mind like water down a stream every moment of every day. It has been said that an individual entertains over 60,000 conscious thoughts each day, and even this is probably and understatement. Many people suffer guilt, frustration, and anger toward the self because of the thoughts that flow through their minds.
