-WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW-
Thinking is an organ of perception, just as the eyes and ears are. It is not limited to processing sensory data; it is capable of directly grasping the non-physical ideas and principles that structure reality.

The spiritual is not an abstract concept for special occasions; it permeates every detail of daily life and every action we take. Our world is shaped by two streams of influence: the remnants of ancient, traditional knowledge often held as faith, and the modern scientific worldview which l... |
