"Deep within each of us lies a hidden reservoir of creative talent, waiting to be tapped into. By exploring and embracing our unique gifts, we unlock a world of artistic expression and fulfillment." Michael Corthell In a world where artistic talent seems reserved for a select few, it's easy to feel envious or inadequate. However, the truth is that creativity resides within us all. While some may wrestle with desires for talents they don't possess, it's crucial to acknowledge and appreciate the unique abilities we do have. This journey of self-discovery can lead us to uncover hidden talents, opening up a realm of creative possibilities. Let's dive deeper into this notion and explore how embracing our individual gifts can lead to a fulfilling and artistic life. “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.” ― Albert Einstein In a society that often glorifies the extraordinary artistic abilities of a privileged few, it's

"Embracing duality and polarity expands our perception, navigating the interplay between opposing forces. Duality reveals interconnectedness and harmony, while polarity unveils contrast and tension. Together, they unlock profound insights, fostering a comprehensive understanding of ourselves and the world." Michael Corthell Within the realms of philosophy and conceptual frameworks, the terms "duality" and "polarity" are frequently employed to explain the relationship between opposing or contrasting forces or concepts. Although these terms may exhibit variations based on specific contexts, understanding their distinctions can enhance our comprehension of their roles and implications. This article aims to shed light on the dissimilarities between duality and polarity, uncovering the nuances that characterize these concepts and their applications. Duality: Recognizing Interconnected Complementarity Duality encompasses the existence of two fundamental or op

"In the vast cosmic theater, God's boundless creativity dances through stars and souls, guiding galaxies and inspiring minds.

Doing right gets good results, doing wrong gets bad results.  If your attitude reeks of ill-will that's most likely what you'll attract. by Michael Corthell The law of cause and effect is one of the 12 universal laws of the universe. (The videos at the end give you an overview of this and all the universal laws.) The law of cause and effect states that nothing happens by chance or outside the Universal Laws. Every action has a reaction or consequence and we "reap what we have sown." Studying causes and their effects is simply an attempt to understand why things happen as they do. Many professions do this—accident investigators, scientists, historians, doctors, newspaper reporters, automobile mechanics, educators, police detectives, to name a few. All these disciplines spend considerable amount of time trying to understand the causes and effects of both human behavior and natural phenomena to gain better control over events and over societal behavior.

Seasons Change and So Do We Michael Corthell "The beauty of change is found in its ability to reveal the resilience and adaptability within us." Change is an inevitable aspect of life, whether we embrace it or not. The more we resist change, the more we experience pain. Buddhism recognizes the inherent beauty in the transformative nature of existence. It compares life to music, where if a note or phrase is clung to beyond its intended duration, the melody is lost. Therefore, Buddhism can be summarized in two simple phrases: "Let go!" and "Walk on!" Release the desire for self, for permanence, and for specific circumstances, and instead flow with the rhythm of life. Our first reaction to the unexpected change is usually quite negative. Feeling vulnerable and maybe even threatened, we can react badly. In fact, we go through stages: Surprise (shock, wondering why this is happening to us.), Panic (how the changes will impact us and if we'll be abl

"The light of the truth is an emanation of Infinite intelligence. It encompasses boundless illumination, leading us to spiritual awakening, profound understanding, and an intimate connection with the divine." Michael Corthell Can anyone know the truth? Some of the greatest minds of every era in history have attempted to answer that question. The slippery nature of the 'truth' has been a favorite theme of history's great poets and authors, especially Shakespeare who was enamored with it. Read any one of his tragedies, and you'll notice how often the plot turns on the fumbling of an important truth. The idea of fumbling a truth brings us to; is a truth relative or absolute? In our western culture especially, many people have argued there is no such thing as absolute truth. Is there such a thing as absolute truth? My answer is yes there is. For example, 2+2=4 is an absolute mathematical truth. The only way it cannot be perceived as absolute truth, is
