God Ties All Things The faith of Paulus was not about proving the existence of God but about trusting in His goodness. Such faith is only acquired through prayer, divine discourse, and following the example of Jesus Christ; an internal death of our lower material selves. This is the spiritual practice that forms the foundation…

Pray Everyday, Then Ceaselessly Prayer is more than merely an action of supplication and sublimation, for it is a sacred dialogue between the immortal soul and its divine origins.

A Faith Most Becoming When Paulus spoke of following Christ, he did so with the understanding that this was not just about replicating His actions but embracing His Spirit, of selflessness, compassion, and unwavering faith in God’s goodness.

Weapon of Mass Construction: Spirit Violence surrounds us, the reality and threat. We engage battle with forces seeking to diminish spirit, to such a degree that many will read these words mockingly and with a haughty disdain (if this is true, I’m sorry and pray for you).

Peace Within, and Particular Alignment Acquire a peaceful spirit immanently. Far from passivity, it is preparation for the greater battles. Cultivate a profound stillness that permits vision beyond illusions of the world. Embracing the present moment with unshakeable serenity, despite the turmoil and chaos which surrounds us. To acquire peace within is to recognise that…
