The residential school system in Canada was arrogance of the most destructive kind. To believe that one culture, one system of beliefs, is greater than another and thereby attempt to assimilate one into the other is the epitome of hubris. The Greatest Love does not care what you believe so long as you act with … Continue reading Canada and the Treatment of Indigenous Peoples

First Contact
By first contact I mean the ability to communicate with a planet that has intelligent life. By intelligent life I mean life that is capable of establishing bidirectional communication with our World using some form of technology compatible with ours. It does not mean visiting that planet which could only happen much later. Bidirectional communications … Continue reading First Contact
Distant Stars
I believe that before we can reach distant stars we must learn to love our World and each other. We must feel comfortable giving up our weapons of mass violence and destruction. Tearing down the walls that divide great nations and building up the love such nations so richly deserve to share. Only when our … Continue reading Distant Stars
Animal Rights
In a later post I speak about how the reduction of pain and suffering allows us to deepen and broaden our compassion and empathy. It is a primary means by which we reveal and evolve our love. But this reduction must extend, as much as is reasonably possible, to all species where pain and suffering … Continue reading Animal Rights
Capital Punishment
I believe capital punishment is an aberration of love. Not only is life sacred but when redemption is possible even from the depths of Hell, surely we can find enough compassion in our hearts to offer the same opportunity here on Earth. I stated in a previous post that evaluating the totality of one’s life … Continue reading Capital Punishment
Hell
I believe there is a Hell. But there is no Satan or Devil. There is no Greatest Evil to contrast with The Greatest Love. That is not to say there is no, lowercase ‘e’, evil in Hell or the World. There is. Just that there exists no single Embodiment of Evil. Instead, in Hell, there … Continue reading Hell
Heaven
I believe there is a Heaven but with the emergence of sacred love I believe our love has evolved past the point of having Heaven dictated to us by gods. Instead I believe The Greatest Love has bestowed on humanity a fundamental freedom, for each individual soul granted access to The Eternal Paradise, to define … Continue reading Heaven
Suicide
Suicide is not an aberration of love. Such a complex condition cannot be so easily labelled. I have contemplated suicide twice in my life. On the first occasion it was the love of The Greatest Love and the first message that saved me. And another time while experiencing a major depression after my second hospital … Continue reading Suicide
Euthanasia
When the pain and suffering becomes unbearable and medical professionals agree that no more can be done, I believe, the next steps require love. For love is more important than life itself and The Greatest Love does not expect us to cling to life at all costs. Love. Love of the patient in consultation with … Continue reading Euthanasia
Abortion and The Sixth Message
I believe human life begins when The Greatest Love instills a soul into the developing zygote, blastocyst, embryo or fetus (hereafter referred to as simply the fetus). The difficult question becomes: when does this moment, traditionally termed ensoulment, occur? The short answer is I do not know. It is one of life's most enduring questions … Continue reading Abortion and The Sixth Message
