"The primary purpose of this blog is to provide insight on the underlying core meaning of spiritual and moral issues. Often, we get lost in the details of an issue and miss the essence of it, such as focusing on the letter of the law instead of the intention of it, that is, the problem it is intended solve.

We can also be easily rendered blind or deaf by our cultural and political biases.

As the author of this blog, I do not claim to have all the answers. Rather, I encourage you to explore and ask your own questions to discover what rings true for you and why," (Lark Syrris).
