Taken from Is God Good? by David Ash

I was disturbed to find shocking parallels to the Protocols in the Bible and the ‘Talmud’ and a number of other documents I unearthed in my research.
This staggering document - The Protocols of Zion, the Bible, the Talmud and Christian history exemplify the dangers of religious cults. They highlight the terrible consequence of self-righteous groups of people viewing themselves as superior because they are more acceptable to God than others. Within all religions and cultures, cults germinate which have the potential to become fanatical and extremely dangerous.
I have great difficulty in shaking off my own religious programming in the Roman Catholic Church which has done more to discredit and destroy ‘truth, goodness and human decency’ than any single organisation in human history.

Accounting for evil has been one of the greatest philosophical challenges in human history. Some people stick their heads in the sand and try to pretend there is no evil. Others accept the traditional religious view that there was a rebellion in heaven and now there are evil spirits that have turned against God causing a battle between good and evil. My view on the matter is different...

taken from Icebergs in Africa by Julie Shaw

At the time I was working for the Exploration area of De Beers – the intrepid explorers in some fourteen diverse countries around the world; out under the rain and stars searching for diamonds (and, by the way, some of the best story-tellers I’ve ever come across). My role as ‘Relationship Builder’ was to look after HIV/AIDS; wellness; culture, climate, values; HR (Human Resources) communications, and HR image management (and the latter is not a task for the faint-hearted).

It was against the backdrop of stability that De Beers built the brand ‘A Diamond is Forever’, on beauty and on dreams. My question today is ‘what world of work are we creating’? Is it healthy or not, and what more can we do to polish and shine the potential of our people? Where have we come from, where are we now, and what are the unique opportunities and challenges we face from the perspectives of health, wellbeing, and achievement?

Read about the iceberg formula in Africa's business world and what happens if this revolutionary wellness program is applied.

Taken from Soulful Love - The Search for the Self - Deri Joy Ronis Ph.D.

I recall the first time I read that “life is difficult.” It didn’t sit well with me at all. And how could it, when I had programmed myself to believe that life is a wonderful journey.
I have heard that “obstacles” are nothing more than opportunities in disguise. While it has been said that we are spiritual beings having a human experience, eventually we get to the place where we have to take responsibility for our actions, thoughts and what we truly want. When we lie to ourselves and we live in the lie, our relationships become a reflection of this dishonesty.
Not knowing how to communicate about the real issues causes so many problems...or...

Many are terrified to verbalize what they feel for fear of abandonment by the other party. Thus, the person who doesn’t express feelings may throw or break things, scream, be physically violent, and verbally abuse the other. They may also become emotionally abusive via lying and deceiving...

Taken from: Healing Habits - by Ann Gadd

Great spiritual traditions in every age offer many vehicles for awakening. These include body disciplines, prayer, meditation, selfless service, ceremonial and devotional practices, and even certain forms of modern therapy. All of these are used as a means to ripen us, to bring us face to face with our life, and to help us see a new way by developing a stillness of mind and strength of heart.

Reading about our human habits or behaviour patterns, no matter how insignificant - laughable or shocking, is not only entertaining but it can become an absolute eye opener!

Take from: The Language of Light by - Nadine May

If words that can no longer express our true feelings or the perceptions we have about them, and our inner feelings have started to be expressed by our habits, this creative workbook shows how our doodling can reveal the language of our inner true self.
It's through mind-drawing (doodling) while we are in our creative mode that we safely become our own observers.
