Going Green

Apr  28, 2008, Vector8 writings

“Mother,” I asked, “why don’t you teach others the method of living without food?”

Why the Inner Critic is Now My Greatest Ally

Healing with the I AM

Jan  13, 2008, Vector8 writings

When Someone I Love Hurts

Jan  12, 2008, Alan J. Brooks

Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I’m feeling […]

a simple vow

Dec  25, 2007, Stan's meditations

This world is totally designed to keep us away from the peace of God, the state of mind that we are still enjoying in reality. So, in this dream of a worldly existence we’re meant to be upset most of the time. Even when there’s a semblance of real joy for a moment, it’s only […]

Bah Humbug!

Dec  18, 2007, Vector8 writings

During my bus journey this morning, a lady I usually see in the neighbourhood got on the bus. I smiled and said hello.

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
