96-TURN THE OTHER CHEEK???

Yes, Jesus once said to "turn the other cheek." But did Jesus actually practice what he preached? Listen as I discuss how Jesus acted towards those who opposed him. And he usually did not turn the other cheek! In fact, he commonly turned their cheeks. COPYRIGHT 2017 SCOTT E. ROKELY

93-OPEN UP THE WINDOWS OF YOUR SOUL

What's your default response when life presents you with something new? Is it a yes or a no? Maybe it's time to open up the windows of your soul. COPYRIGHT 2017 SCOTT E. ROKELY

92-STOP TALKING TO YOURSELF! INSTEAD, TALK TO GOD!

You, like everyone else, talk to yourself, all day, every day, year after year, decade after decade. How would it change your experience of life if, instead of talking to yourself all day, you talked to God silently in your head about everything that happens moment to moment. All it would do is revolutionize your life. COPYRIGHT 2017 SCOTT E. ROKELY

91-EMERSON'S ESSAY ON COMPENSATION PART 8

As we conclude this monumental essay, we learn that Emerson would not want to win the lottery. Listen as he explains why. COPYRIGHT 2017 SCOTT E. ROKELY

90-EMERSON'S ESSAY ON COMPENSATION" PART 7

Be grateful to your critics, thank your faults, see the advantage of adversity. These are just a few gleams of Emerson's radical faith in the goodness of the Universe. COPYRIGHT 2017 SCOTT E. ROKELY

Feb 22, 201721 minEp. 90

89-EMERSON'S ESSAY ON COMPENSATION PART 6

Emerson urges us to always pay the price to get what you want. Because if you don't pay the price to get what you want, you'll get something you don't want. COPYRIGHT 2017 SCOTT E. ROKELY

Feb 08, 201721 minEp. 89

86-EMERSON'S ESSAY ON COMPENSATION PART 3

Are you a "victim"? If you think you are, listen to Emerson as he tries to explain how the Universe is set up to work automatically either for you or against you. COPYRIGHT 2016 SCOTT E. ROKELY

Jan 11, 201722 minEp. 86

85-EMERSON'S ESSAY ON COMPENSATION PART 2

We all like to complain that life is unfair. But is it? Is it really true that life is unfair and that we won't get justice until the next life? Emerson, and I, think not. COPYRIGHT 2016 SCOTT E. ROKELY

Dec 27, 201620 minEp. 85

84-EMERSON'S ESSAY ON COMPENSATION

Although written in 1841, this essay is more true today than when it was written. Why don't we ever learn its lessons? Emerson knew there was no such thing as a free lunch before Milton Friedman did. This is another home run essay from Ralph Waldo Emerson. COPYRIGHT 2016 SCOTT E. ROKELY

82-WHY GOD WHY? FOR DAMN GOOD REASON!

I received some profound insight into why seemingly bad things happen to good people, from the agonizing death of my father. COPYRIGHT 2016 SCOTT E. ROKELY

81-THE GOD RELIGION DOES NOT KNOW

Jesus tells us what God is like in the so called parable of the Prodigal Son. The problem is, organized religion often does not know this God. COPYRIGHT 2016 SCOTT E. ROKELY

Nov 29, 201620 minEp. 81

80-GOD'S EVER PRESENT PROBLEM

God wants us to grow, but we resist change with all our might. How can God get through to us? Adversity, that's how. Hear about the real man whose actual experiences were behind the plot of the hit movie "Life of Pi." COPYRIGHT 2016 SCOTT E. ROKELY

78-"THE CHRIST" PRECEDED JESUS OF NAZARETH

Those possessed by the Spirit of Religion insist John 14:6 is Jesus the Christ's edict that most of the people on the planet are going straight to hell. It is no such thing. What did Jesus mean by this verse? COPYRIGHT 2016 SCOTT E. ROKELY

Nov 01, 201619 minEp. 78

77-ARE YOU MONISTIC OR DUALISTIC?

What difference does it make? Let me put it this way - Jesus tended to be monistic, and religious people tend to be dualistic.

76-STOP COUNTING!

It seems our minds were made for counting. And we especially seem to enjoy counting other people's sins and offenses against us. It is amazing how much joy and peace floods into our lives when we stop counting.

And the annoying this is, they are right!

74-GOD'S BRAIN OR YOUR BRAIN?

You aren't stupid. You just don't know all of the facts that God does. That's why we all need to check in with the Holy Spirit before we make decisions, instead of blundering ahead and making a decision with the few facts that we know. You aren't stupid. You just don't know all of the facts that God does.

72-BELIEVE THE LOVE

Adversity hits. You pray for help. But no help seems to come. It's at this moment that you must simply believe that God loves you. If you stop believing God loves you in these trying times, you open the door to all manner of mayhem in your spiritual life.

70-DO YOU ACCEPT YOUR WHOLE SELF? I DOUBT IT.

Until you accept your entire self, good points and bad points, you will never accept other people, and you will see God as angry, violent, and full of vengeance.

Aug 16, 201618 minEp. 70

69-A SPIRITUALITY OF IMPERFECTION

A spirituality of trying to be perfect, and demanding perfection of everyone else will drive you crazy. Instead, face reality and realize that all any of us can do is embrace a spirituality of imperfection.
