The Mind: Each of us has tremendous amount of Mind Power, but the sad thing is that we don’t utilize even half of it. Researches have shown that even geniuses do not use over 10% of their total Mind Power. That should give you an idea of the vastness of this untapped power. The Rationale: When we talk about Mind Power, we refer more specifically to that of the subconscious mind. A powerful storehouse that save all messages. A clear mirror that reflects all the ideas you feed it positive & negati …

PHILOSOPHY is the topic at this friendly, nearly ten-year old group. We sit in a circle and discuss a philosophical question we voted on by email. If you love a good, impassioned yet respectful and rational conversation with like-minded people, join us!

PHILOSOPHY is the topic at this friendly, five-year old group. We sit in a circle and discuss a philosophical question we voted on by email. Sometimes this topic is taken from an issue of Philosophy Now magazine (the current issue or a past issue). Other times, the question comes from a philosophical conundrum that has been on the mind of some member of our group, who then emailed the topic to me. If you love a good, impassioned yet respectful and rational conversation with like-minded people …

A new Agnostic organization where everyone is accepted. To unite people in a common goal of Love, Understanding and Peace. Are you a Universal Believer? * The Book To Live By * * Facebook Page *

Well I think the group name does most of the describing, but the goal here is for people relatively the same age, to pick great books, meet up once a month and discuss them. I want to create a casual and fun atmosphere so that like-minded people can get together, meet people out of their circles, and have the intellectual stimulation that's void from so many of the encounters I've had with people out here in LA. We'll pick from a range of books, and meet wherever the group decides. Ideally, we'd …

Wikipedia states "a salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine taste and increase their knowledge of the participants through conversation. These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate" ("aut delectare aut prodesse est"). Salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th century and 18th centuries, were car …

In my work as a clergyman, I find myself going back to the great philosophers constantly -- the Greeks -- e.g., Plato, Aristotle, the Romans -- e.g. Cicero, Marcus Aurelius, and any modern thinkers who thought is connected to the ancients.
