Channel God into Daily Life Beloved of God, hello! Late post today, I apologise. Let’s dig in! Ceaseless prayer, to be in constant communion through our closest connection with the divine, is practice that binds our actions into alignment with creation. Prayer aligns the self with God’s order, standing proof of trust, to remind the…

Cohesion and Resilience So what does community mean in practical terms? How are we to build healthier communities that respect natural human bonds while avoiding the pitfalls of Victimentality as described in Your Fight? True community begins with emotional resonance and common understandings, empathising with those around you which is obviously difficult to fake. This…

Thorns Upon Our Heads What about suffering and its redemptive power? For Paulus, the chains were badges of his unwavering faith, and he was correct.

Many profound insights will emerge only at the end of great frustration, why? The frustration is humbling and forces the reconsideration of presumptions. Yesterday I brought up a vast library, where one is armed only with…

Scientism and Its Denial of Ignorance Dear beloved of God, let us now turn our gaze to that shadow which looms forever over modern thought: arrogance. Not the arrogance in this or another certainty per se, but the arrogance through denial of our ignorance. They would have ignorance itself as something to be solved, rather…

Navigating Imperfection and Arrogance “When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.” -Proverbs 11:2 Research in cognitive psychology highlights how overconfidence can impair decision-making and learning. Humility, conversely, fosters open-mindedness and a willingness to adapt. Socrates famously said, “I know that I know nothing.” Imagine standing before a vast library, its shelves…
