I-Connecting : The Soul's Quest

What is Spirit? What is Soul?

21 Jul 2017

There is great confusion between soul and spirit in our language today. Unless we clearly understand the difference between the two we will never understand either one of them. George Kuhlewind in his book “The Gentle Will” describes spirit as “matter-free and meaningful.” Then he points out that meanings are... Read More

Post-truth is certainly pre-truth

30 Mar 2017

The term post-truth is astounding. There is nothing true about it.

Hard Will and Gentle Will

14 Feb 2016
