I studied Religious Science. To me the religious part is our spiritual beliefs and the science is for us to create and conduct experiments to prove our spiritual beliefs to ourself.
How you prove your love to yourself? If another was to know exactly how you treat yourself would they think…there is a person in love? This is the question I ask myself when I think of how I treat myself. And this is the answer I have discovered. Let us, borrowing from the words of…
When I was a boy and something bad would happen my mother would say to me, “into every life a little rain must fall”. Now, living in Vancouver I would have to say that I have become very acquainted with rain. What my mother did not include, so I think I will, is, “and into every life…
Are you searching for heaven on earth or is your life a living hell? Either way it is pretty clear that we get what we believe. In fact, the funniest thing is that one person’s version of a living hell (for example my mother jumping out of a plane with a parachute) could be another’s…
