God’s Moderation Over Idolatry’s Extremes An unmistakable pattern that emerges over generations is that of the tendency for goals outside God’s realm to veer into extremes. These goals need not be against God per se, but rather untethered from divine wisdom and empowering the self. Imagine planting seeds in your garden. If you water too…

Transformation Begins Within So spiritual transformation is to find focus in spirit, acquire a peaceful spirit internally, and, eventually, attain to spiritual warfare.

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.

The Honourable Competition Within Civilisation Let us consider the face as both a symbol and a weapon: a vessel for identity, yet a battleground for power. To strike another’s face is to violate not only their body but also their dignity, for the face is where we encounter the world, where we are judged by…
