JEWISH SCIENCE FICTION by Ilene Schneider When discussing Jewish science fiction, as with all Jewish literature, there is one major question to be answered and for which there is usually no one answer: Is a story "Jewish" because of its theme or because its author is Jewish by birth...

First, I need to define terms here. To some people, "sin" = "breaking a commandment." This doesn't fly with me, since God does not "command"--God creates, loves and sustains--unevolved humans command.

First of all, I should establish that today I identify as an agnostic. I do not believe that there has been any way for me (so far in life) to come to the conclusion that there either is or isn't a higher being. I have however not ruled out the ...
I was recently asked to shed some light on the subject of death. My reply:
We are life. Life is eternal, immortal, immutable. We each have many lifetimes, in order for the spirit to experience all that may be experienced on the physical plane. ...

I am not separate from reality, or you. I and I are reality.
Reality is also infinite, everything, all unified contradictions, yin and yang, God.
And my sense of individuality, this body and mind I identify with and distinguish from the rest of ...

To lead a spiritual life, one must be a warrior in the best and highest sense of the word--vigilant, valorous, brave. I am not talkng jihad here--jihad is a barbaric artifact of the Piscean Age, and is sponsored by ego and motivated by fear. ...

People like Deepak Chopra like to appeal to quantum mechanics as a possible scientific basis for their spiritual beliefs, but the claims they make often strike physicists as quite ill-founded. QM isn't well understood by the public (and is ...
So lately I've realized that I'm a really negative person. For some reason pretty much EVERYONE pisses me off and causes me to be a sarcastic asshole sometimes. I guess I have a low tolerance for stupidity, but I digress...

When most people hear blessing food they think about crazy religious people thanking their lord or god for their meal and blah blah blah. I most certainly use to think it was stupid and pointless. But in reality everyone SHOULD bless everything they ...

This quote, as most of you know, is from the "Tao Te Ching." It is something that runs through my mind a lot, because it is so truthful. We often listen to those who know nothing, the news anchors, the politicians, the salesman on TV, or ...
