The Deep End

How is it that we never physically touch each other or anything yet our deepest meanings come from this "non-touch"? What is this "touch"? How do we grow meaning from it and how is it part of human evolution? Stay in touch my friends

What is the Will? How can we best muster it? ...and to what good end. America and much of the world is at a crossroads of the WILL. Which way to go and why? Are there different levels of the Will? Is there a way to align our own Wills with the intent of life itself? What is that intent? Blessings

What is guilt? How has it helped shape the human family? When did guilt first show itself and when was it first seen as a separate emotion? As well, how has guilt been integral to human evolution? What is the spiritual worth of guilt as an internal moral experience? Blessings...

Human Civilization's have come and gone for thousands of years. Many of our stories derive from the rise and fall of these civilizations. What is a civilization and are we headed for a global civilization? How can we grow a new way of thinking about ourselves in a global civilization? Can we create a global civilization? I pray we can!

What is an Idea? Where do they come from? What are the great ideas that changed and created our world? What are the ideas we need now? WHEW! Join us in our discussion about the world of IDEAS. Be well... Wonder deep.

What is wisdom? How is it different from information and data? Is there a wisdom deficit today? How can we understand what's happening to wisdom and can we find a new wisdom to address this loss? America specifically has sacrificed wisdom for impulse... how's that working out. Big SIGH. Blessings.

What is this ability to feel what another feels? Empathy has been called integral to human evolution; as well, it looks to many that we are still developing finer gradations of empathy, making unconscious material and patterns more conscious. What do you think? Blessings

What is EVIL? How have we been taught about it? How has EVIL set up camp among us? Mary Anne Ruddis lays out how we define evil and how it finds fertile ground in the ordinary. We discuss what we can do about it and how we become complicit in growing more of it. May the Holy Presence help us. Blessings

Food is THE Prime Connector in life. Food is where death becomes new life, where the alchemy of relationship transforms sunlight, water and earth into a sacred substance: FOOD. And, to cook using whole ingredients is to participate in a huge chain of becoming. Food is so much more than mere consumption. It is a source of daily communion.
Blessings

The three most integral connectors in human life are Family, Friends and Community. Why are they so important? How do they grow health and wholeness or not? Are relationships the true substance that dances between us? Join us at the deep end of relationships. Blessings
