"Freedom is our greatest joy", declared an oriental sage of antiquity. This perennial, yet debatable adage, persists today perhaps partly because freedom and joy are, by definition, inextricably woven, possibly more so than you may imagine.

The first several definitions of freedom start with the idea of enjoying as in…

Several sources (including hints from Prof. Karen King) suggest that we will soon be hearing more about the controversial “Jesus’ Wife” fragment, brought to public attention back in 2012 by King.  It appears that Harvard Theological Review will soon publish an article that will likely reflect the results of those tests that were to have been made on the fragment. …

There is a food revolution taking hold all over America, whether it is in the form of demanding labeling of GM foods, the right to produce and sell raw milk and other commodities, or - in the case of Sedgwick, Maine - declaring all local food transactions of any kind free and legal.

According to the website FoodRenegade.com, Sedgwick is the first city in the U.S. to free itself from the…

Live your life without reactivity. It’s all okay. It’s just going on. God is secretly in charge. If I see drama – it’s souls helping each other learn lessons. If I feel drama – it’s me learning a lesson. It’s all school, the Divine’s playground of experiencing life and love, and…

We think of losing control as being a bad thing.  Since we were young children we have been trained to never lose control.  Don’t lose control of your bladder!  Don’t let yourself get histerical!  Don’t grab things, shout, run in random directions, grab your penis/vagina; and especially, most importantly, do not lose your grip on the reigns of life.  Many experience this feeling of being out of control, but few understand what is really going on when the chaos is…

This week the House of Representatives will consider a provision to House Agricultural Appropriations Bill that will fundamentally undermine the concept of judicial review. Hidden under the guise of a “Farmer Assurance Provision” (Section 733), the provision strips the rights of federal courts to halt the sale and planting of genetically engineered crops during the legal appeals process.

In the past, legal advocates have successfully won in court the right to halt the sale…

By definition, "The War on Drugs" is a campaign to put an end to a substance considered injurious used in the treatment of a disease, or a substance recognized by the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or a chemical or dye, or (my favorite definition) a chemical substance that affects the central nervous system causing changes in behavior and often addiction.

Wow! This to me sounds like the war on drugs should…
