India, Health, philosophy and more

I find myself once more in a place of nothing, of transition. My health issues with my ears and breathing have returned with the second ear infection this year. I had told myself that if I had one more this year I would not go to India – so I’m not. I mean really, with [...]

Start your own free spiritual blog

I took over Mystic Minds two months ago because the owner just could not support it any more. Then, as you are all aware, sciatica intervened.

On being personal – or impersonal

This is for my theosophical readers. Blogs are a personal medium. Having quit college I’m going to spend the coming months (at least) trying to find my own voice – instead of struggling with the demands of scientific writing. I’m going to try finding my own voice – and that’s not the voice of the [...]
