Sometimes, the most straightforward solutions to the most complex problems lie dormant, hidden from view, by our calcified thinking. Sometimes we have been driven and conditioned and kicked into submission so many times that we forget that we are creatures of FREE-WILL. We abhor control...

In times of turbulence, we turn to transcendent texts and tomes that teach us a better way. Some of these are The Bible and the Koran. Some contemporary guides to spiritual growth are books such as "The Four Agreements" and "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.

This week starts a series of...

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this...

I love the Twenties! I’ve been pretty jacked up since the start of this new decade. My recent posts on the power of thinking and mindset have unleashed a wave of energy and creativity in me that I’ve never experienced. This is not hyperbole. Even when I get smacked down with...

I'm a bit behind the times. I had watched a video of Tony Robbins interviewing an advanced conversational robot named Sophia. Apparently, this first robot with granted citizenship (Saudi Arabia) has been around awhile. It felt like a real interview. Exactly how "intelligent" Sophia is, is...
