"It all must go," he said.

Considering Rev 7:14 - And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

This episode is a response to the Big Think video with Paul Bloom entitled Kids Don't Always Make You Happier. Here's Why People Have Them Anyway.

The discovery of truth is always preceded by dreamers - those willing to believe in the impossible and even the fantastical. This is a special archived episode of The Trackless Path: A New 2 Plus 2

This episode is a response to a video by Big Think wherein they interviewed Paul Bloom about the subject of suffering and its virtues.

Men do their best to avoid the necessity of living by faith. In this episode, we discuss this dilemma and extol the virtues of faith.

This episode is a response to a book named Corruptible - Who Gets Power and Why It Changes Us by Brian Klaas. I found Brian on a YouTube video by Big Think. The name of the video is Why Psychopaths Rise to Power.

Seeing through a veil and being seen.

I recently listened to a YouTube video by Big Think. In the video, they interviewed Bruce Feiler who wrote the book The Secrets of Happy Families. This episode is a response to some of his thoughts.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an organ in your own body? Or a rock? Or a tree? In this episode, I share some ponderings that I had a few years back upon the subject of light and how it reaches places that we would not expect.

In today's episode, I give some thoughts about a movie I recently saw. It was The Old Man and the Sea with Anthony Quinn. The movie is based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway.

For what were they seeking When first drawn to the other tree? "To know," they said, But now we cannot see. "Our dreams a mystery And more dreamed we be than dream." "But better to know," said one, "than never be."

Loving... Does love have the power to change hearts? In this episode, I examine some thoughts that might closely correlate with 1 Corinthians 13 where it says that we should be kind and long-suffering, patient etc...

Finding peace in the places the world has abandoned.
