My Philosophy
The Universe is the arena where infinite and eternal Spirit is striving for the masterey of energy/matter through the mediation of mind, these being the three primary manifestations of unified, undifferentiated reality.

What Gives Me Hope
Knowing that Spirit is the beginning, the end and the ground of being, that I live in the Spirit and the Spirit lives in me. Also knowing that there are tens of thousands of wonderful humans who share that same truth and act on it.
