White person: Why should I be made to feel guilty for what my ancestors or KKK have done to Black people just because I am born with a light skin? I’m not personally responsible for discriminating or oppressing Black people, and I’d like to think of myself as a nice person. Black person: Why should…
Is it ok to not be okay?
A Facebook friend posted this question for all: “Is It Ok Not To Be Okay ? Share your views below” Yes, the answer that came to my mind is, certainly it is ok to not be okay, just as it is human to be imperfect and make mistakes. This video of a boy repeatedly picking…
Why do we judge?
The old testament god judged and criticised a lot, and condemned and rejected anyone who didn’t conform to the norms or measure up to perceived standards. The old testament god was a mental projection of those who were still staying in a state of lower consciousness, and living in duality of good and evil. In…
“HOW I Started Having OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES (ASTRAL PROJECTION/TRAVEL)” Joshua Tongol
I have checked out Joshua Tongol’s video on his out-of-body experiences and I like his encouragement to the viewers to follow their own unique paths.

“…lest we offend them…”
New Living Translation “However, we don’t want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us.” Young’s Literal Translation “but, that we may…
Jesus, privilege, racism and sexism
It occurs to me that Jesus lived in a societal system not unlike today’s “modern” societal system because during his time in Israel, he was living in a monetary-based economic system that was dominated by racist and patriarchal mindsets. For example, the rich and powerful enjoyed class or economic privilege, the Jews had more privilege…
RIP, Megachurch
A particular megachurch that I used to go to has become a monolith. What do I mean by “monolith”?
