Naturalism is the cultural dogma of the modern world. It’s a story that’s repeated so often, people accept it without questioning its truth. The naturalist story says that as scientific knowledge advances, it’s proving beyond reasonable doubt there is no God, no eternal soul, no afterlife, and we live in an insentient and purposeless universe.… Continue reading Why I’m not a Naturalist

God is Love
When some people hear that God is love, it arouses the image of a benign old gentleman. An inoffensive chap who is insipidly polite and agreeably kind. This superficial idea comes from the dogma of materialist thinking. We’re accustomed to think of love as an emotion, a feeling evoked by an object in the world.… Continue reading God is Love
The Rational Path Leads to God – following the demands of logic
Everyone has heard the propaganda that theism is irrational. We’re told belief in God is wishful thinking. A security blanket for people who can’t cope with the harsh realities of life. But this patronising idea is the opposite of the truth. If we follow logic where it inevitably leads, it will take us to God.… Continue reading The Rational Path Leads to God – following the demands of logic
The Universe is a Spiritual Black Hole
Exposing the illusion of the material world. The term black hole is a misnomer. A black hole isn’t empty space, it’s the opposite. It’s a region of space so dense even light can’t escape its boundary. When viewed from the outside the space appears to be empty, because a black hole swallows everything, even light.… Continue reading The Universe is a Spiritual Black Hole
The Perfection of Free Will – Voluntary surrender to divine love
The will is the power which moves everything in the conscious world. How you choose to move and interact with the world is determined by your will.

There is… Continue reading The Perfection of Free Will – Voluntary surrender to divine love
The Problem of Evil and Suffering – Is there a solution?
The problem of evil is often called the rock of atheism. This describes its enduring power to cast doubt on the existence of a loving God. While we think of it as a logical problem, its force reaches far deeper than the intellect. It’s a simple matter to solve the logical problem of evil and reconcile… Continue reading The Problem of Evil and Suffering – Is there a solution?
The Insidious Cult of Scientism – The power of cultural indoctrination.
We can’t avoid cultural conditioning. We absorb it through psychological osmosis. From the moment of our birth, we’re immersed in social interactions which instil the cultural values and beliefs of our society. All human societies function through a set of shared values, beliefs, and practices. Culture is the conceptual infrastructure of a society. These cultural… Continue reading The Insidious Cult of Scientism – The power of cultural indoctrination.
The Fulfilment of Consciousness – Moving in harmony with the divine.
The conscious dimensions of nature are the substance of reality. The conscious self within your body is the substance of what you are, and the same principle applies to the whole of reality. The field of spacetime is a continuous fabric on which the details of the world are embroidered. Spacetime also has inner conscious… Continue reading The Fulfilment of Consciousness – Moving in harmony with the divine.
The Silence of the Cosmos is the Sound of Freedom
The human search for meaning. Human life is an existential crisis. We do what we can to avoid it. We try to ignore it, outsource it, delegate it, divert our attention from it or deny it exists. But they’re all feeble and futile attempts to avoid the unassailable law of our being, the essence of… Continue reading The Silence of the Cosmos is the Sound of Freedom
Heaven is not a Geographical Location
In the spiritual view of reality, the inner dimensions of the world are primary. The foundation of the world is consciousness. Instead of the naturalist view that consciousness is a state of matter, the idealist view is that matter is a state of consciousness. Matter is an idea. When we limit our view of the… Continue reading Heaven is not a Geographical Location
