- The Worst German Victory In World War Ii
By: William Nugent | - World War II is called "World War" because of its worldwide geographic extent and this is perhaps the least imaginative and least instructive basis to name a war. The Second World War was a teachable moment in a multitude of ways and we should draw as much of a lesson as possible from this costly and utterly tragic conflict.
This article will focus on the European theater and the ultimate German victory in that theater. The war in Europe in WW II was a war over philosophy. Many if ...

- Ufos Are Connected To Occult Religion
By: William Nugent | - In the 1970s Erich Von Daniken wrote the books Chariots of the gods and Gold of the gods and a few others. These books made the claim that UFOs brought life to Earth and directed civilization over a period of hundreds of years.
Von Daniken made very bold and extravagant inferences based on very limited archaeological and historical evidence.
In response to these weakly based claims Clifford Wilson wrote a book called Crash Go the Chariots that refuted Von Daniken ...

- How To Recognize The Wall Of Separation Between God And State In The U.s. Constitution
By: Oliver Woods | - "Original Intent" is a book by David Barton about Supreme Court rulings that have stripped the Constitution of the founders' original meaning. It was published in 2000 by WallBuilders of Alemedo, Texas.
David Barton Argues Against
Separation of Church and State

- The Jesus Family Tomb: Science, Religion And A Rational Christianity
By: David Comings | - People often ask if science and religion are compatible. This is a reasonable question given that science is based on verifiable fact while most religions require blind acceptance of dogma based on faith. In this regard science and religion would seem to be continuously at odds. Science says, "show me the evidence or I will not believe." Religion says, "Just believe, faith is belief without evidence." However, science and religion do not always ...

- Why Evil Exists
By: Jack Zimmerman | - In Saint Augustines Confessions we come across many problems which he had to face. One of the problems is the existence of evil. The whole question of evil itself is a problem which acts as an obstacle to the general belief held by people that God is omnipotent. When Augustine was associated with the Manicheans he held the view that evil was a kind of material substance with its own foul and misshapen mass When he came closer to believing in Christianity he changed his views on e ...

- Ban The Koran. Now
By: C. Read | - There are many misconceptions about Islam or Mohammedism as it should rightly be called. Western self-hatred; politically correct fascism; and an anti-Western educational and media establishment ascribe incorrect labels to the Mohammedan cult. Mohammedism is not a religion, it is not modern, and its main book the Koran, is overtly racist and supremacist. Time to ban it.
Why ban the Koran? The media and the insufferable Marxist-Feminist-anti Christian-post modern alliance ...

- Beatniks, Hippies And The 1967 Summer Of Love!
By: William Nugent | - The age of reason gave way to the age of emotion. The optimism of the modern philosophers gave way to the pessimism of the postmodern philosophers. Modernism is the idea that ultimate truth and absolute morality can be discovered by rational thought.
(Absolute morals are morals that apply to all people across all cultures at all times.)
Modernists asserted that this newly discovered rational system of absolute morality would cure the world. This optimistic modern ...

- The Enigma Of Psychic Surgery In The Philippines Part 1
By: Howard G Charing | - The bare hand' or psychic' surgeons of the Philippines have been one of the most enduring enigmas of modern times. There has been much controversy about the so-called miracle healers of the Philippines. Their ability to open peoples bodies and defies not only conventional scientific and medical knowledge but also challenges what we consensually call reality. How can a human body open and close by touch? How can solid objects become permeable to allow a hand to move throug ...

- Legends? Myths? Or Word Of God?
By: Jerry Richard Boone | - Ancient Hebrew Stories
God exists. The soul survives death. And the wisest man who ever lived told us what to do with our lives. What more can be said? Quite a bit, say the ancient Hebrews. According to them, we have barely begun to scratch the surface. They tell us that their race has been favored with a number of special revelations. Those special revelations, they claim, bring a unique Jewish insight into the relationship between God and man.
What have we ...

- Plant Spirit Shamanism: Voodoo Shamanism
By: ross heaven | - This is Tim Booth's introduction to my book, Vodou Shaman, where he speaks of his own experiences with Vodou / Voodoo.
What do we really know about voodoo' in the West? Almost nothing. Not even the correct spelling. Even now my computer underlines Vodou (its correct name) in red to inform me of a typo.
But feel the phoney word voodoo' in your mouth. It could be the first word a baby might form. A fantastic word - so many O' ...

- The Power Of Attraction Secrets From The Amazon: The Pusanga
By: Howard G Charing | - My experience working with shamans in preparing Pusangas (which normally is prepared away from their clients so it was a privilege to be invited to participate in the preparation) showed me that far from interfering with the freedom of other individuals or putting a number' on them, we were altering something within ourselves, which was brought out by the ingredients, the magic of the plants. Whatever it was, it felt wholesome and good. It is what is in oneself one's own magic. Asking Javier ...

- Ayahuasca Retreats Interview With An Amazonian Shaman
By: Howard G Charing | - After being virtually ignored by Western civilization for centuries, there has been a huge surge of interest in Ayahuasca recently. There is a growing belief that it is a kind of medicine for our times', giving hope to people with incurable' diseases like cancer and HIV, drug addictions and inspiring answers to the big ecological problems of modern civilization.
Ayahuasca is not a drug, it is regarded as a gateway to another reality, a reality which co-exists with our physica ...

- Why Is Islam A Religion?
By: Stew Mayers | - Imagine that you have traveled to another location to attend to personal affairs. You step off a train in some locale, take your bags and proceed to your destination. You walk a few paces to find some transport. Then the reality of ideological contamination assaults you.
A man confronts you face to face and screams at you in another language. His face contorted with hate, almost touches yours, the neck veins are throbbing, his temples are bursting, his hair is flying and with fis ...

- Why Is Islam A Religion - #3 ?
By: Stew Mayers | - The 20th century's most universally respected Islamic scholar is Dr. Arthur Jeffery. He headed the Department of Middle East Languages at Columbia University and taught linguistics at the School of Oriental Studies in Cairo. He wrote: "The briefest investigation suffices to reveal that the problem of Islamic sources is relatively simple, for most volumes represent little more than the working over (with fabulous and irrelevant additions and modifications) of perhaps half a handful Arabic texts o ...

- Natural Law And Ã"'Ëœconservative' Thought

Paleo-cons, neo-cons, libertarians, social conservatives, compassionate' conservatives, orthodox liberals, free-traders, constitutional conservatives, objectivists and many others populate the conservative ideological continuum. Most of these movements are only partially conservative and some are not conservative at all. So what would a real conservative actually look l ...

- How Reliable Are The Gospels?
By: Jerry Richard Boone | - Late-date-for-the-Gospel Theory
Jesus was a historical figure. Modern historians and scholars agree. That tells us something, but not a whole lot. Davy Crockett was a real man too. But books, movies, and television shows turned the real man into a legend. How about the story of Jesus? Did the Gospel writers take the real man, Jesus of Nazareth, and embellish him with such things as a virgin birth, miracles, sinless life, voluntary martyr's death, resurrection, and ascension int ...

- Are We Mechanical People? Meditation, Energy Blockages + Essence, Gurdjieff Part 1 Of 2
By: Swami Satchidanand | - Gurdjieff died in 1949, about the same year as Ramana Maharshi.
Gurdjieff essentially synthesized ancient esoteric teachings and made them approachable and applicable to the lives of rational Western individuals. His concepts and methods are still seminal in the spiritual work of the west.
A seeker will find in his teachings an immeasurable treasure, the essence of so many other teachings, both spiritual and psychological, on the inner life.
