Revitalizing Medicine
I am compelled to have a hand in revitalizing modern medicine for reasons both material and spiritual. Our present health care system is plagued with limiting assumptions, many of which have little to nothing to do with the core body of truth which governs all things biotic. My aim in this brief essay is to …

Imprisoned Splendor
Paracelsus (I) by Robert Browning TRUTH is within ourselves; it takes no rise From outward things, whate’er you may believe.

Out of Position
"It is folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution." - Joseph Addison Fallen human consciousness rejects messengers of truth in the present and reveres …
The Four Phases
Principle, purpose, design and control - the four "phases"of truth - are the building blocks of the physical world. Everything in nature, our bodies, minds and hearts included, was crafted in accordance with these fundamental elements. Nature, be it at the hand of Providence or natural selection, is the tangible, physical expression of truth. The …
Veneer of Personality
People generally reveal themselves over time. That said, the time it takes to get to know someone can be greatly shortened given the right mix of circumstances.
