The Role of Skepticism
Throughout our lives we are faced with vital questions, and it is important how we come to believing in the things we do. Reason is concerned with truth, and can stand to be humble; it can acknowledge its limits and appreciate the unknown. Faith is concerned with fidelity, making it stubborn and unchanging.

Ordinary and Non-Ordinary Reality - Higher Awareness
Many believe that there is the mundane life of everyday reality on the one hand--and the enlightenment of higher awareness acquired in a state of non-reality on the other. Is it possible that everything actually belongs in the realms of reality? And there are two states of reality--Ordinary Reality and Non-Ordinary Reality.

Quotes - Philosophy, Pathos and Humor
Using quotes in your speaking and writing is a great way to express yourself in an interesting and clever manner, as long as it's not overdone. Sometimes you can find a quote that says exactly what you want it to express better than you could have said it yourself. Sometimes a quote is just a way of providing a bit of contrast to an otherwise dry presentation.

Interpreting Plato's Cave
In Plato's Allegory, prisoners are chained, completely motionless in a cave, and shadows of puppets are cast on the walls. The prisoners are unaware of the actual cause of the shadows and believe the shadows are unique, independent entities. But one of the prisoners is let free and discovers the true source of the shadows.

What Is Creation?
Everyone at some stage in their life questions why they exist and the meaning of all that is. We come up with various theories in our continuous search for truth to find a perfect model that stands the test of time. The creation theories we hold on to tend to rely heavily on individual belief structures and value systems.

The Mythical Belief - Government Ought to Do Something
A favorite saying of many is that "Government ought to do something." Do these people really know what they are asking for? If they did, they might reconsider and abolish this saying from their vocabulary forever.

City of God - Significance of the Christian Fish
Many people see it every day but do not know what it means. It's the Christian fish symbol. Many postulate that it's because many of Jesus' disciples were professional fishermen, but there is an even more interesting theory. It's an ancient acrostic that hints at a clue.

When God Consciousness Becomes a Non-Negotiable
Part of my life objective involves the word "focus." It fits together, and in the middle of: SIMPLIFY-FOCUS-OVERCOME. I find it's the way I have to try to live my life now. It's like my life turns out hellishly when I do not sincerely simplify, focus and seek to overcome my difficulties. Difficulties can become mountainous otherwise; but they become pitiful when my focus is cogent. It's feels like an all-or-nothing journey for me.

Contemporary Educational Philosophy
Contemporary educational philosophy takes on a view that is uniquely different from traditional educational philosophy. One of the most interesting contemporary philosophical perspectives is that of Paul Freire. His pedagogical approach centers on student "Dialog". His belief was that by engaging students in a co-operative dialog process.
