“Should you start bursting popular myths or should you let the people believe that which maybe they're just hearsay?” (Anonymous, https://quotelers.com/topics/48360-myth-busting ).  How many myths have we taken as truth because our parents, teachers, preachers, the culture have repeated them over the decades, centuries?   This week, we’ll explore bursting a few of these myths because being informed and honest about what is and isn’t truth makes us better thinking people. Here

"The words ‘question’ and ‘quest’ are cognates. Only through inquiry can we discover truth” (Sagan 365). In Part I of this series, Metaphysical Moments, I discussed the definition of ‘Metaphysics’, of what it is and of what it is not. In Part II, I continued highlighting Metaphysical aspects by examining Metaphysical Universal Principles. Part III looked at what ‘deconstruction’ is and lay the groundwork for how Metaphysical practices and principles can transmute traditional

“I used to have all the answers—chapter and verse. Now I’m happily uncertain and enjoying the wonder and mystery of life” (Harris n.p.). Joshua Harris was a popular young evangelical Christian pastor and author of the book that  allegedly damaged some people by pushing the religious ‘purity culture’: I Kissed Dating Goodbye, published in 1997.  By July 2019, Mr. Harris began to publicly deconstruct Christian religious dogma from his life and proclaimed he was no longer ident

“There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies.  My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness” (The Dalai Lama). During Part I of looking at Metaphysics, I shared the definition of ‘Metaphysics’, of what it is and of what it is not. This week’s post continues highlighting Metaphysical aspects by examining Metaphysical Universal Principles.  Some claim there are 7 Universal Laws; others claim there are 12 or 33.  I lean toward minimalis

For the next few weeks, my posts will discuss aspects of Metaphysics.  This week focuses on the basics of Metaphysics, its etymology, definition, what it is, and what it’s not. I recently earned my PhD in Metaphysical Sciences, so this is a topic I’m passionate about; I hope you are interested too or are curious to find out more. I began my study of Metaphysics when I deconstructed the religion I was indoctrinated into.  It took decades to pull apart, examine, and question e

[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAn-AWXtHv0 ] What if all millionaires and billionaires were philanthropists to make a difference in the lives of millions of people? What if everyone, every corporation, and every religious organization paid their fair share of taxes to benefit all of us? What if being thin, physically appealing, and not being seem as a “host body” weren't considered important for women to be valued? What if the patriarchy dissolved and society didn’t favor

(a longer than usual blog post because it's a critical issue) Do you take education for granted?  Do you value education?  Do you not see the merit in being educated? When people and countries don’t focus on education for everyone, the effects are longterm.  I’m not referring to just higher education, such as what universities provide, or to just trade schools where employable skills are learned. And, I’m not simply referring to going through compulsory 1-12 years of educa

Many of us, who grew up in the 1960s/1970s, listened to, sang, and demonstrated to classic protest songs.  They inspired us, encouraged us, and motivated us to action.   Today, as back then, we need protest songs. Why are protest songs powerful?: Emotional resonance:  They evoke strong feelings that connect listeners to social issues. Cultural reflection:  They capture the spirit of a movement and reflect societal struggles. Mobilization tool:  They inspire action and unite
