A New Approach to understanding and living your Life
Social Issues Commentaries
These blogs examine social crises against the backdrop of the Spiritual and Natural principles (Laws) that determine all outcomes and guide all activities in Life.

For example, when we create disharmony through our activities, we violate the Law of Balance and the result is crisis.

Who are you Serving?
Summary This text explores the idea that spiritual messages are frequently conveyed to humanity through creative media and popular culture rather than just traditional religious institutions. By referencing works like The Matrix and the lyrics of Bob Dylan, the author argues that all human endeavors serve as a battlefield for divine or dark influences.

"Up building and Disintegration - The key to understanding current events"
Summary This text explores the parallel warnings found in the scientific Doomsday Clock and ancient spiritual prophecies, suggesting that both signal an impending global collapse rooted in human ego and selfishness. While science focuses on physical threats like nuclear war, the author argues that these disasters stem from a refusal to change our inner nature and recognize our place within a delicate ecosystem.

Self-Love.
Summary This text evaluates the modern psychological practice of self-love therapy, contrasting it with traditional spiritual teachings. The author argues that while psychology views self-love as a universal remedy for emotional distress, it often lacks a true understanding of the human psyche or spirit.

Exercising Judgement
Summary This text explores the vital distinction between exercising judgment as a tool for personal growth and the harmful act of condemning others. While many people avoid taking public stances to escape being labeled as "judgmental," the author argues that discerning right from wrong is a necessary survival skill for spiritual maturity.

The difference between Believing in Yourself and Having Confidence
Summary This text argues that self-belief and true confidence are fundamentally different concepts that lead to opposing life outcomes. While relying solely on oneself can lead to arrogance and a closed mind, genuine confidence involves trusting in external support, such as other people or divine providence. This perspective suggests that individuals who look beyond their own reasoned analysis are more receptive to intuitive guidance and hidden opportunities. By acknowledging

Slippery Slope phenomenon
Summary This text discusses a rhetorical tactic, termed "Destigmatization," where traits or behaviors previously considered reprehensible are reframed to appear benign or elicit sympathy. The author uses the example of proposals to replace the term "pedophile" with "minor-attracted persons" (MAP) as a striking instance of this strategy. They argue that such efforts, often lacking clear logical evidence, rely on appealing to emotions and can lead society down a dangerous "slip

All men cannot possibly be equally endowed with abilities, or the same sense of right and wrong.
Summary This text explores the philosophical tension between observed human inequality and the supposed fairness of a Creator. While people clearly possess different talents and moral perceptions, the author argues that a just and wise deity would not distribute these traits unfairly while demanding universal adherence to the same ethical laws. Attributing such disparities to the divine is presented as a logical inconsistency that paints the Supreme Being as arbitrary or crue

Can we humans ever change our nature?
Summary This text explores the enduring debate about whether humanity's inherent nature, marked by negative traits like injustice and greed, can truly change. It acknowledges the prevalence of these behaviors throughout history and across cultures, leading to a cynical view that such actions are simply "who we really are." However, the response counters this by suggesting that while disappointments often arise from people failing to live up to ideals, these ideals themselves
