  When Ralph Waldo Emerson published his seminal essay on self-reliance in 1841, the United States was still reeling from the effects of a calamitous financial collapse four years earlier.
  
  His positive vision for the power of individualism and personal responsibility was issued in a climate of panic and uncertainty, at a time when the values of society and humanity were shifting. Emerson's call to independence remains as relevant and energizing as ever.

  Absolute Tao - Subtle is the way...

  Osho

  • 0

  Moving beyond the usual interpretations of this classic Chinese text - that of using it as an indicator of what to do next or attempting to predict the future - Osho is using the Tao Te Ching as Lao Tzu intended: to ignite the flame of individual awareness and insight. His commentaries on these seven verses burn through every idea we may hold about ourselves until we can see with the same crystal-clear light as Lao Tzu.
  Tao, like Osho, is the way of wholeness: not dividing or denying anything, simply remaining choiceless and aware. You will find yourself listening to this series as if it were a waterfall; as you listen, you will come to understand the emptiness that puts us in touch with the eternal and makes bliss and ecstasy possible.

  The Open Mind - Accepting Others...

  Esther Jameson

  An open mind is not simply the ability to consider new ideas; it is a deep commitment to understanding, acceptance, and growth. In a world filled with diverse perspectives, an open mind acts as a bridge between different experiences, beliefs, and cultures. Embracing this quality begins with self-awareness, as recognizing one’s own biases and limitations is the first step toward true intellectual humility. When we acknowledge that our perspective is just one among many, we create space for learning and connection. 
  The process of understanding an open mind involves examining the roots of our thoughts and behaviors. Many of our judgments and preconceived notions originate from early experiences, societal norms, and ingrained habits. These factors shape how we view others and the world around us. By questioning these influences, we allow ourselves to break free from automatic responses and engage in thoughtful reflection. This reflective process is essential for transforming criticism into genuine curiosity and compassion. 
  Developing an open mind requires both intentional practice and courage. It means being willing to step outside our comfort zones and explore ideas that challenge our existing beliefs. This journey often involves confronting uncomfortable truths about ourselves and recognizing the limitations of our knowledge. However, the rewards are significant: increased empathy, improved relationships, and the ability to navigate complex social landscapes with grace. An open mind is not passive; it is an active, ongoing process of growth that requires us to listen deeply and respond with sensitivity.

  Defend Us in Battle - Catholic...

  The Catholic Church has always had regard for the spiritual and pastoral welfare of those in the military and for centuries priests have ministered to armed forces personnel in war and in peace.
  
   
  Chaplains have served and continue to serve all branches of the British armed forces. The size and organization of the military and the nature of warfare has been transformed, but the chaplain’s vocation remains unchanged. Defend Us In Battle traces the growth and development of Catholic chaplaincy to British armed forces from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century.
  
   
  Taking as its starting point the emergence of a recognized system of military chaplaincy established by the Society of Jesus in Reformation Europe, this wide-ranging survey considers the ministry of chaplains through succeeding centuries. It relates the struggles that Catholic soldiers and sailors endured with British officialdom before being granted their own chaplains.
  
   
  Defend Us In Battle describes the ministry of priests who over the centuries and across the world have voluntarily provided Catholic service personnel with the solace of religion far away from home and frequently in danger. There emerges a powerful narrative of priestly service not always known or recognized by those outside the military.
