Existential Absurdities: solipsist games to play with friends!

"What if," the dreamer pondered, "I am not so much a human being, but a trans-dimensional being of incomprehensible power who has fashioned these unimaginably capable capacities to answer the question, 'what is it like to be a human?'"

We would be 'trapped' from insight to this grander nature of ours (much like Scientologists affirm), forbidden to see…

Art Project!

I just came across this amazing series of photos! The art project seems so simple that I'd love to try this and mix up the colors. I'm obsessed with crayons - LOVE EM! I was that kid with the 64 crayon box that you couldn't pry out of my hands. I would get so excited about sharpening them - I must have gone through 15 boxes over 2-6th grade but I never thought about melting them!!! This just reminded me how…

Wisdom is playing.

Wisdom uses the phrase that in producing man and animals and all the creatures of the earth, Wisdom is playing, and that it was the delight of Wisdom to play, before the presence of God.

And when it is likewise said in the Scriptures that the Lord God created the world for his pleasure, this again means, in a…

Social Networking at Work: Why Banning Facebook Makes You Like… the Oldest Person Ever

Many organizations have banned Facebook, LinkedIn and other sites to combat work avoidance and increase productivity. This might work for some companies for now, but seriously….how old are you? I tried to explain to one of my superiors that I still check facebook on my phone, and it ends up taking longer than if I could just do it on the computer. She then expressed concern that I would run up a large phone bill. At first I was a little puzzled at why she thought I…

Hollywood Creates Unhealthy (And Phony) Image of Perfection

A woman’s self image is everything in the eyes of the media. Whether you’re short, tall, skinny, or heavy, the media makes us feel like we’re never good enough. The celebrity and model appearances that are flaunted in magazine spreads and on the red carpet present the illusion of perfection when reality speaks a far different truth. Women of all ages are most affected by this facade of the ultimate physique when…

Yoga is more than exercise

I died. I could feel the life draining from my body while I languished in my fetal position.

That’s at least how I felt after performing an hour and a half of vinyasa and hatha poses in my late morning yoga class.

It had been the first the first time in several weeks since I continued my practice. I was…
