I Asked My Dead Friend If Personality Survives Death?
I’ve been reading new thought books, which teach that people are divine in origin, that our nature is god manifesting itself through us. In other words, god experiencing life through and as each of us.
Before I dropped off to sleep last night I was thinking about my cat Tiny who died a couple years ago. [...]

“Disease is of Man’s Own Building” — Dr. John Tilden
Some look at the religious fanatic and think her deluded and brainwashed, someone who has bought into a mindset fashioned in the church she attends. They see the closed mind and dogmatism and are grateful that they have not been so influenced, grateful for their independence of thought.
But when it comes to health, illness, and [...]
Stop Finding Excuses as to Why You’re Sick and Choose to Get Well
I (sometimes) enjoy participating in discussion boards related to health and wellness. I love sharing things I’ve learned to help people recover from their diseases. I don’t always go about it the best way. I have my own hangups. I have the temerity to suggest that people are usually responsible for their illnesses. It’s akin [...]

Those who preach fear of germs today are the mental offspring of those who have preached fear of God, devil, hell, and heaven in the past. They do not know that the fear which they inculcate is more to be dreaded than the object of their warning. Fear does a thousand times more harm than [...]

Refuse to Condemn Yourself or Feel Guilty for Your Mistakes
I once played tennis with a man who berated himself after every missed or faulty hit. “You idiot!” “Stupid, stupid, stupid.” “How could you miss that?” “Dummy!” What was supposed to be a game of fun was an exercise in self-condemnation. He wasn’t even aware of it; it was a conditioned response, perhaps taught to [...]
