My (Not So Great) First (and Probably Last) Experience at a Mikvah!
A mikvah is a pool of water in which observant married Jewish women are required to dip in once a month, seven days after the end of their menstrual cycle. Now, while it is true that I am not married (at least not in the conventional sense), nor 100% observant, (perhaps not even entirely Jewish?)... I still decided to attend a mikvah for the very first time ever, this past Thursday, in order to observe the mitzvah (mikvah commandment) of cleansing myself after menstruating. I
Another Dimension to Spiritual Enlightenment: Breaking the Cycle of Birth and Death
After writing and publishing my last article, "What Does it Mean to be Spiritually Enlightened?" , I was guided to write even more information regarding spiritual enlightenment.

And Now It's Time For the War Scene!
The following is a recent text message conversation between my myself and my mother. Although, it's really mostly me doing all of the texting.... My mom doesn't really have too much to say... Me: Remember a few months ago when I said we were going to war with Russia? Are you ready? Me: Don't get sucked into the drama! Its a big theater play! It was discovered that the President of the Ukraine is an actor. In reality all of the politicians are actors. Me: So we've moved on fro
