Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live. ~ Albert Einstein
A couple months ago, I took a trip to northern Montana. When I travel, I keep track of the exact mileage. From my house in Wyoming to my destination, Shelby, Montana, it was 532 miles north.
The next day I traveled another 34 miles north to a town called Sweet Grass.
The total distance from Wyoming to Sweet Grass, then, was 566 miles or 1,132 miles round trip.… Read more
Is it really necessary to study deep philosophy and all the world religions to be truly spiritual? ~ Ted Murray
If you’re reading this, you’re probably on a deliberate, conscious path of spiritual growth. I am too.
But do we make our spiritual paths more complicated than they need to be? If you’re like I was for many years, you make spirituality—and even life itself—anything but simple. It’s as if simplicity was a curse.
In Ted Murray’s words above, he’s implying many of us ignore simplicity on our spiritual paths.… Read more
In Einstein’s equation, time is a river. It speeds up, meanders, and slows down. The new wrinkle is that it can have whirlpools and fork into two rivers. So, if the river of time can be bent into a pretzel, create whirlpools and fork into two rivers, then time travel cannot be ruled out. ~ Dr. Michio Kaku, Japanese American theoretical physicist.

Trusting Yourself Is Always a Good StartI still remember the time, years ago, when I got my first “hate mail.” It almost literally knocked the breath out of me. I wondered how anyone could hate this work I do that much.
Since then, of course, I’ve gotten a lot more.… Read more

After my wife and I moved to a new town a few years ago, we talked about joining a church in order to meet people. This wasn’t easy for us since I’m a devout atheist, and I refused to take my kids anywhere that even mentioned the idea of hell.
At some point we tried out a nearby Unitarian Universalist church, and much to my surprise we both enjoyed the experience.… Read more
Albert Einstein once said “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
A few weeks ago I was house-sitting for my brother and sister-in-law while they were traveling. I was busily working at my computer one day when I got a sudden urge to go to the front door.
I opened the door and my nephew was standing there – he hadn’t even had a chance to ring the doorbell.… Read more
Steve Bhaerman, a.k.a. Swami Beyondananda, tells a wonderful story about Albert Einstein.
A reporter came to Einstein’s laboratory at Princeton to interview him. She was surprised to see a horseshoe above his door. “Professor Einstein,” she asked, “surely a man of science like you doesn’t believe a horseshoe will bring you good luck?”… Read more
