Where the Physical Meets the Spiritual. Newer posts →. The heads of liberty is the choice to do what is for the growth of all, to feel good and wonderful. The tails is the choice to do what is the detriment to all and to feel badly. Many people believe in liberty to feel good but not to feel bad. Some people WANT to feel bad. Nothing any of us do will change this individual’s desire to experience the dark end of the spectrum. You cannot love someone into changing. This strategy motivated me to grow.

The How and the Why Revisited: The Grand Canyon, Glacial Melt, and History Repeating Itself « Perfect Paradox
https://perfectparadox.wordpress.com/2007/08/29/the-how-and-the-why-revisited-the-grand-canyon-glacial-melt-and-history-repeating-itself
Where the Physical Meets the Spiritual. The How and the Why Revisited: The Grand Canyon, Glacial Melt, and History Repeating Itself. A common theme addressed herein is the divide between scientists of the subject and the object, or the spiritual and the material. One side usually claims that its understanding supersedes the other’s. Ironically, the two are really trying to answer the same question from a different angle. Naturally there are many how’s and why’s depending upon what your goal is. Our busin...

Ghosts in the Machine « Perfect Paradox
https://perfectparadox.wordpress.com/2008/03/13/ghosts-in-the-machine
Where the Physical Meets the Spiritual. Ghosts in the Machine. By definition, everything leads to God. It is a metaphysical truth well understood by philosophers. For that which denies the existence of God, tests one’s faith. That which proves the existence of God directly proves it. I originally felt that chip implantation in humans would lead inevitably to slavery of man to his machines. Yet that is humanity’s legacy, to be slaves to our mind and its technology. When the technology is ready to transfer...

Self-Service of a Different Sort « Perfect Paradox
https://perfectparadox.wordpress.com/2007/10/01/self-service-of-a-different-sort
Where the Physical Meets the Spiritual. Self-Service of a Different Sort. In a former post, Pity the Unhappy Rich Man, we introduce the idea that the poor who seem happy may be qualitatively different from the rich who are unhappy. Namely they may be ignorant rather than blissful. Ironically it is only abundance which can true illustrate the composition of one’s character. For without the ability to make one’s desires real, we can all claim that we have none. Thus, the renouncer must renounce due to fear.

The Grand Canyon Revisited « Perfect Paradox
https://perfectparadox.wordpress.com/2007/10/07/the-grand-canyon-revisited
Where the Physical Meets the Spiritual. The Grand Canyon Revisited. In an earlier place we mention how Catastrophism contributes to the Gradualism championed by modern geologists. As an example multiple theories as to Grand Canyon formation are presented. In the article referenced herein, 70,000 gallons of water over three days created a canyon in Texas 1.5 miles long and 80 feet deep. Although much smaller than the 6,000 feet deep granddaddy, it illustrates the idea. Ask and Ye Shall Receive, eh? Self-S...

Armor of God « Perfect Paradox
https://perfectparadox.wordpress.com/2008/06/10/armor-of-god
Where the Physical Meets the Spiritual. A recent letter writer declares herself a Christian, quoting Ephesians 6:11-13. These verses admonish individuals to put on the full armor of Godagainst the devil’s schemes. Few disagree with these sentiments. Yet interpreting scriptures is always a sticky business. So let’s do a little research. So, the writer urges Christians to put on a covering as a defense against secret and devious plans. To her they are the practices of Tarot, Palm Reading and Reiki. Most wh...

Who Wants to Live Forever? « Perfect Paradox
https://perfectparadox.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/who-wants-to-live-forever
Where the Physical Meets the Spiritual. Who Wants to Live Forever? Most spiritual and philosophical paths speak of the transcendence of man over his nature. By definition, one can never transcend one’s self. He or she can only raise it to its highest fulfillment. So the question becomes, how do I embody my highest nature? This question contains some interesting ambiguities:. 1 What is highest? 2 Who am I? 3 What is my nature? Nature may be the hardest concept to describe concisely here. It is the col...

Where the Physical Meets the Spiritual. Mass of the Christ, the Ultimate Piscean. At this time of year the Western World, and due to its dominance much of the rest of our planet, notes the birth of Jesus Christ. In my other blogs I present the ideas of precession and the Ages of Man. To quickly review, the Earth spins on its axis at a tilt of 23 degrees. Not only does this provide our seasons, but also our Ages. Figure i, Precession of the Earth. Figure ii, Earth’s Calendar. In others words it represents...

Pity the Unhappy Rich Man « Perfect Paradox
https://perfectparadox.wordpress.com/2007/09/27/pity-the-unhappy-rich-man
Where the Physical Meets the Spiritual. Pity the Unhappy Rich Man. There is a saying, Pity the unhappy rich man for unlike the poor man, he cannot blame his unhappiness on poverty. In a recent film Ten Questions to Ask the Dalai Lama, by Rick Ray many wonderful and interesting insights arise. One of them that the author notes, is the relative happiness of the poor in Calcutta’s ghettos as compared to the richest in the world. Many reasons for this are offered in the media. He meets his spiritual needs wh...
