If anniversary is the right way to describe this current week. It can be looked at both ways, I suppose. It is great to fight against any attempt to ban books. It is disheartening to still have to do this in this day and age. But they say things don't change all that much, and there will always be...

To the Heart of the matter Part II
In closing this issue, that we may proceed further, there is an issue, which many shall readily testify,

In life, we experience two kinds of fear: Real fear, and psychological fear. Or, as I prefer to think of the latter, ego-fear.
In the words of Immanuel Kant, the ego is “our precious little self.” Or as Eckhart Tolle calls it, “the voice in the head.” It isn’t who you really are, but the you that...
