Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.

Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.

As Is The Feeling,So Is The Result. From October 1995, excerpt of a discussiononline with a Christian Scientist. I was comparing Tillich as a theologian with Niebuhr as an ethicist. The main thing that keeps coming back to me about this distinction — which I feel is a real and useful one — is that…

Well, clerisy minions, the hive workers, mostly lawyers and professors, here and there, make the narrative, day by day, and pass out those talking points for broadcast by NGOs and media. But someone is setting the tone, the Weltanschauung that minions then translate…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA Volatility Uncertainty Complexity Ambiguity are constants of existence and of life. There is no avoiding VUCA. But there are ways to cope with it, ways both deleterious and auspicious. There are three deleterious ways to cope with VUCA: ignore it, suppress it, manage it. There is one auspicious way to cope with…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA There are no non-state actors. No NGOs. Dutch-Israeli Martin Van Creveld sows confusion. His analysis is superficial, tendentious in the direction of Talmudic legalism. Legalisms of any kind are closed systems and Talmudism, along with its counterpart Sharia, is a persisting representative of the breed. If you have a lobbyist you are…
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA A Soldier wants freedom from oppression, tyranny. A Theologian wants freedom from the world, attachment. Freedom from tyranny is the rind.
