Healing with Intelligence and Compassion

I have often written about the danger of falling for extremes; in our desperation to run away from one issue, we tend to embrace any solution, no matter how drastic readily.

Happiness or Passion?

Since we are children, through movies and storybooks, we are often indoctrinated to think happiness is the main goal, one we are to chase.

Intellect or Blind Faith?- Understanding Illumination

When it comes to spirituality, faith, or occultism, it seems the same rule is being taught: In order to know God, divinity, or transcendental reality, it is necessary to put aside the mind — only through a special state of consciousness it is possible to connect with the Divine Within and without.

For Plato, the body was the prison to the soul for it limits the expression of our desires, but have we understood his words correctly?
