  • Philosophical Faith

    Philosophical Faith

    Philosophical Faith, according to Karl Jaspers, provides each person a way of understanding the world and their place in it. Unlike religious belief, there is no need for a special revelation from a prophetic figure nor any required dogma to express universal truths. Rather, philosophical faith stands on the basis…

  • A Frank Prayer

    A Frank Prayer

    Oh thou endless Great Way, broad and flowing in profound tranquility, Where hatred happens, let there now be love; Where weakness occurs, fortitude; Where doubt arises, faithfulness; Where despair crushes, hopefulness; Where darkness encroaches, enlightenment; Where sadness lingers, joyfulness. Encompassing Transcendence, inspire now/here kindfulness lest we seek only after our…

  • The Tenth Dimension

    The Tenth Dimension

    So, there is a lot of mind blowing thinking out in the realm of contemporary physics. Those of us who know the history of philosophy are not afraid to call a good deal of this metaphysics. Certainly, it is the kind of contemplation that can only be approached–even using the…

  • Part or Particle of God

    Standing on the bare ground, — my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, — all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.…

    Knowing of a method (way-beyond) is no-method. Suddenly ALL perfects as THIS. Brilliantly ONE perfects as NONE. Letting-go, openness.

  • All and None

    All and None

    Get-over unnecessary bias. Esteem one: hate the rest. Esteem NONE: esteem ALL. No human position is so absolute that there is no counter-position available. With ALL, certainty melts into insecurity. With NONE, security slips into uncertainty. Let go one: gain NONE. Grasp one: lose ALL. Increasing exchange: Opens-up & closes-down;…
