Remember in 2001 A Space Odyssey when Hal goes nuts? If you don't, just think back to the expression What are you doing, Dave? to conjure images a psychopathic machine going after someone. Or on the cinematic flip-side, what about darling little Pinocchio who yearned to be a real boy in spite of his wooden pre-disposition? These tales offer...

Do You Mind?

It�s hard to talk about the mind as if it were something that could be analyzed or described. We try and do that a lot in philosophy, religion, science, politics, psychology and psychiatry. Some people are paid a whole lot more than I am to be an expert on the inner workings of the...

I could ask four more people to be a bit scientific, but I think that just by shooting from the ol' hip, that this is probably true. Are the words really...

Have you ever just thrown your hands up in the air and asked whoever may be listening, "What in the hell am I doing with my life?" Or maybe, "What in the hell is the meaning of this?" Or, "Where in the hell am I going?" Or, "Where in the hell did I come from?" Or perhaps you didn't throw your hands up...

There really is a difference between western and eastern mysticism and it is not whether or not a mystic chooses to use a cross or a statue of Ganesh.
