Dear Friends, When reading the news and looking at the world around, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged. But we need to keep our spirits up, so we can help make things better, in our homes, our communities, and the world. The Realism Card offers support for that. It reminds us that even though there are many things outside our control, our attitude and approach toward life and others is entirely ours to choose. …
Dear Friends, We’re happy to announce that a new, mobile-friendly version of our FaithCrisis website is now live! First launched in 2004, FaithCrisis.com is dedicated to helping people who are struggling through a personal “dark night of the soul.” These crucial turning points are quite common in human life, but rarely talked about.

Dear Friends, The presidential election in the United States is on people’s minds all over the world, and it calls our attention to the importance of voting. So let’s talk a bit about voting and the votes that are being cast every single day, by every single person. It’s not political voting we’re talking about now; it’s the vote for love, or for ego. A vote for love is different than voting for a political …
Dear Friends, LIVE! because, as you know, no amount of understanding alone is enough. To progress spiritually, one must take responsibility to live what one knows. LIVE! because doing is essential to learning. LIVE! To learn what you’ve learned, and to find out the rest of what you need to learn, and master. Learn to live, and live to learn more.

Dear Friends, For us human beings, nothing is more important than love. We’re always looking for love from others; they’re always looking for love from us. That’s just how it is for us. Every interaction either warms us or chills us, depending on the love exchanged. If love is lacking, even our successes feel hollow. And we resonate most deeply with the spiritual teachings about love. They remind us who we truly are, and make …

Dear Friends, Where is the light at the end of this tunnel? It is close at hand, but deeper than we think. To fully cure any illness requires us to find and eliminate the cause. Otherwise we’re just managing symptoms, but not restoring true health. Everyone knows we have a serious health crisis on our hands. But it’s much worse than that: we have a serious spiritual crisis. It’s a different kind of infection, and …
Dear Friends, All around the world, people’s lives have suddenly changed. It has never been so obvious that we are all in it together. The governments of many countries are advising everyone to stay home. The world has slowed down. The traffic has radically dropped, and many of us are home, face to face with ourselves, with the ones with whom we share our lives, and with the situation at hand. It’s a time of …
Dear Friends, The world right now is plagued by fear and alienation. As many of you feel, the virus is a threat to people’s physical health, but the fear and alienation is a greater disease. Right now we are in a state of pandemic fear and alienation. It’s alarming and more alarming every day. Institutions are shutting down, gatherings are cancelled or postponed. Governments recommend staying home and avoiding physical proximity. People are hoarding, avoiding …
