How Science and the Bible Can Complement Each Other—With Evolution and Quantum Physics in View
The supposed “conflict” between science and faith is largely a modern myth. Historically, many scientists—including Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, and James Clerk Maxwell—saw their work as “thinking God’s thoughts after Him.” Theologians likewise welcomed careful study of nature as a way of understanding God’s creation. A fruitful framework for this relationship is the “two books” model: God reveals Himself in Scripture (the Book of Scripture) and in the created order (the Book of Nature). Properly read, these cannot contradict, since truth is unified.

Recognizing Awakening as a Summoning
Recognizing Awakening as a Summoning Summary: Awakening is best understood not as a gift or sign of superiority, but as a summoning back to source. It is the process of ego loosening its grip, surrendering to faith, and accepting the journey home.

“I’m Proud to Be an American” is Antichristian Nationalism
I have always felt a little cringey whenever I hear Lee Greenwood belting out "God Bless the U.S.A." out on the radio or at events. Although it strokes the ego of a large section of the U.S.A. populance, it is NOT a Christian song, and it doesn't manifest or support God's values.

The Summoning of the Spirit: Awakening Beyond Ego
Introduction The language of “awakening” has become popular in modern spirituality. It often carries connotations of uniqueness, superiority, or specialness—suggesting that those who awaken are somehow elevated above others. Yet this framing risks reinforcing the very ego structures awakening seeks to dissolve. A deeper understanding reveals awakening not as a badge of distinction but as a summoning: a call from source, from the eternal heart, to return home. This essay explores awakening as summoning, examining the role of ego, the nature of surrender, and the journey of faith, drawing on spiritual traditions, psychology, and lived examples.

Regret, Ego, and the Multiverse: From Shadow to Ascension
Regret, Ego, and the Multiverse: From Shadow to Ascension Regret is one of the most distinct and haunting emotions in human life. Unlike sadness, which arises from loss, or disappointment, which reflects unmet expectations, regret requires agency. It is the recognition that we had a choice, that another path was possible, and that we did not take it. This makes regret uniquely cognitive, tied to memory, imagination, and responsibility. It is not simply about what happened, but about what could have happened. In this way, regret functions as an emotional memory system, allowing us to revisit decisions, imagine alternatives, and prepare for wiser choices in the future.
