Burning Yet Not Consumed

“Now Moses led his flock to the west side of

the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the

mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord

appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the

midst of a bush; and he looked, and lo, the

bush was burning, yet it was not consumed.”

Obama’s Death or Life Fork In The Road

If I could deliver one line to President Obama on his one year Presidential anniversary this would be it.

“Anyone who takes the sure road is as good as dead.” This sobering warning is one of my personal favorites from Carl Jung.

To his credit Mr. Obama has shown courage in repudiating torture, deciding to close Gitmo, restoring a measure of habeas corpus, in being more collaborative internationally, and in taking on the pre existing condition of our chronically ill health care system.

Yet,iIn… Continue

Only An Evolved Spiritual Awakening Can Save Us

“What has been will be again, what has been done will be again, there is nothing new under the sun.”

This ancient lament from the book of Ecclesiastes rings with grave paradox in our age. One could even take issue with the premise of the Jewish Preacher. What about our machines, cars, rockets, computers and the plethora of other technological wonders? Were those around in your day, o simpleton preacher? Everything is new under the sun since the days of your crude existence. We are remaking the… Continue

Isness & Oughtness In Afghanistan

"I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the 'isness' of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal 'oughtness' that forever confronts him."

This steadfast spiritual resolve from Rev. Martin Luther King was quoted yesterday in President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.

Mr. Obama made these remarks earlier in his address.

“We must begin by acknowledging the hard truth that… Continue

I Grieve (Psycho Spiritual Ruminations on the Afghan War)

I grieve that yet another American President has yielded to war once again with a mammoth lack of imagination.

I grieve that our young, dynamic, multiracial, multi gifted President who seduced us with hope and change has handed us a platter of the same old shit, with the same haggard, toxic side of 9-11.

I grieve that the young cadets who functioned as a fresh-faced propaganda backdrop for his speech will soon be wearing the grim faces of death.

I grieve that I live in a nation where two real… Continue

Oh Chuck. You are speaking to the ears of a lot of the progressives when you speak of this. We are all so willing to hope. And so disappointed that change is not immediate. I hate to say it, but the mainstream media is not very interested in the blu…

Well put, o wise preacher! It is definitely a spiritual problem we face and we must find a spiritual solution before it is too late. The political and economic will to do what must be done to mitigate the approaching climate disaster will not be mus…

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.
