Exciting!

This beautiful prospect causes my soul to soar; I only worry about the radical far right and their predisposition to play on peoples' fears to such an extent that they deny the fragility of the earth. What should the concerted effort look like in 2010? I think we need to continue to discuss this in order to avoid Fascist reactionary behaviors. Vicky

Many Heavens, One Earth

"The world's faiths joined together in this cause could become the planet's largest civil society movement for change. With their unparalleled presence throughout the world, the world's religions could be the decisive force that helps top the scales in favor of a world of climate safety and justice for future generations.

These words were uttered by Olav Kjorven with the United Nations Development Program, during a summit of leading figures from nine of the world’s major religions. The meeting… Continue

Keepin’ It Human

“To be rhymin' without a real reason
is to claim but not to practice a religion,

if television is the drug of the nation,
satellite is immaculate reception
beaming in they can look and they can listen

so you see don't believe in the system

to legalize you or give you your freedom
you want rights ask em', they'll read em'
but every flower got a right to be bloomin'
stay human."

I opened a bank account with the local Austin Telco credit union last week, and will close my Wells Fargo accounts i… Continue

A Seedling of Hope

"I'm taking a break from politics. I am deeply disillusioned and find I feel better if I don't follow current events right now."

This note is from a friend and dedicated supporter of my fledging prophetic efforts and an ardent yellow dog Democrat. A substantial part of me resonates deeply with this despair.

During the marathon election cycle I perpetually kept one eye wide open with candidate Obama’s political tent revivals. I didn’t chug the hope kool aid. The genetic idealist in me did howe… Continue

Where Are The Politicians Willing To Shoot The Moon For Good?

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

This haunting Jewish proverb rings with thunderous truth today in so many countries and arenas. It is tragically, literally illustrated in our struggle for American universal health care.

Help me understand this. Why are political warmongers & dictators the only ones willing to shoot the moon for their cause these days?

Since Korea every “conflict” for which we have sacrificed precious lives has been based on shoot the moon fear and exaggerat… Continue

Chuck, thank you for sharing this. Inspirational that "people of faith" would get together to think of how to help. This makes me feel that there is hope. I wonder how these religions are reaching out to their membership to convey this idea? I im...

Good point, Chuck. So many businesses have lives of their own, which have nothing to do with the humans who work there. I always think of the Terminator movies, where the machines take over. This way lies madness. Banks were one of the first to em...

Chuck, Before my Mom died, I was keeping care of her money, which was in a Bank of America account. So I went to the local bank/Burger King branch and would stand in line and talk to the tellers. They had a big screened TV with Fox News going all...

The Free Souls Connection

The Free Souls Connection is an initiative of the Free Souls Project with the intention of cultivating a community of Progressive media producers and users in the areas of Spirituality, Democracy and Ethics.

We invite original written, audio, and video creations in the lineage of Spiritual Humanism, the wellspring of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, forming the basis for a healthy integration of Spirituality, Democracy, and Ethics.

Rev. Theodore Parker expresses this trinity of American values marvelously. “There is what I call the American idea…a democracy, that is, a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; of course, a government of the principles of eternal justice, the unchanging law of God; for shortness' sake I will call it the idea of Freedom.”

Come Ministers, Radio Hosts, Musicians, Poets, Bloggers, Cartoonists, Commentators and all artists for the common good!

Let us support, nurture, encourage, and commune with one other and our sacred world.
