What a physics genius wrote... sixteen months after losing the love of his life... Richard Feynman was many things: a Nobel Prize–winning physicist, an enthusiastic teacher, a devoted father, and—believe it or not—a talented bongo drummer. But beyond the lab coat and lecture halls, he was also a man of profound love and deep emotional insight. Feynman’s heart shone as brightly as his mind. He married his childhood sweetheart, Arline Greenbaum, even as she battled terminal tuberculosis. Arline’s ...

About Desiderata and Max Ehrmann The name Desiderata comes from Latin and means ‘things desired’ or ‘essential’, an appropriate title for a poetic manifesto on how to live wisely and well. Max Ehrmann (1872-1945) was an American poet and lawyer who studied philosophy and law at Harvard and worked in publishing and law before turning to writing full-time at the age of 40. Ehrmann wrote Desiderata in 1927, during the interwar period, a time when the world was reeling from World War I and unknowing...

Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207-1273) was a Persian mystic, poet and scholar whose voice still resonates with astonishing force more than eight centuries later. He was born in what is now Afghanistan and was raised in the rich tradition of Sufism. Each of his verses is a dance between the human soul and the divine, an attempt to put into words the experience of spiritual love, the soul's deep longing for its origin. The ‘Dance of the Atoms’ celebrates the unity of all creation, expressing that every ato...

It is essential to seek help for both the body and the mind. When we face mental or emotional problems, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We do not hesitate to go to the doctor when we have a virus, so why should we not approach our inner struggles, such as sadness or depression, in the same way? The programme was recorded, produced, and presented by Gabriel Porras @artofvoicing for gabrielvoice.com and radiantwhispers.com. Text by Gabriel Porras, greatly inspired by a reflection...

Virtue Signalling is a political phenomenon that we observe all the time but rarely stop to reflect on its nature. Virtue Signalling is what we do when we join marches, political parties or trends, not because we understand what we are doing but to show the world how good we are. We don't know who we're marching for or what we're shouting about, but we're happy to march and shout because it shows that we're admirable and generous people. Better than others. We are not sincere when we act, but we...

The recent US presidential election was a disturbing spectacle. We saw political professionals and self-appointed “experts” resort to intimidation, shaming, and apocalyptic doom and gloom to manipulate or shame people into voting for their candidate. Scaring or shaming someone into voting a certain way is a condescending and immature strategy that will always backfire because no one likes to be treated like a child by being frightened or tricked into doing things. This is typical of dictators li...

This is a modern, versified version of the original text by St Francis of Assisi, written in medieval Italian 800 years ago, in 1225. As a great mystic, St Francis calls all of nature to praise God: the sun, the moon, the wind, the fire, the water, the stars and the earth are our brothers and sisters, praising God with their natural virtues. I closely followed the English translation published by the Franciscan Fathers on their website (https://franciscanfriarscresson.org/the-canticle-of-the-sun...

Psalm 27 from the Bible was written over three thousand years ago by King David, "the sweet singer of Israel". It is a profound prayer of praise to God and a plea for protection and comfort in the most troubled and challenging of times. David contemplates the most outrageous and cruel destiny he can imagine: that of a child deliberately abandoned by his parents. "Even if my father and mother abandoned me, you will take care of me"... even if something as unimaginable and unnatural as being delib...

Reducing the conflict in Gaza to a question of Palestinian-Israeli differences is an unforgivable mistake. The conflict that has been raging in Gaza for decades is the conflict between Islam and world civilisation, that is, between Islam and you and me, and each and every one of us who are not yet under Islam: not only Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Newagers and Hindus. Also homosexuals, transsexuals, feminists, atheists, agnostics, science, education, technology and progress and welfare for all. ...

My atheist friends love to cite Immanuel Kant, David Hume and Voltaire as leading thinkers who opened new horizons for humanity, freeing it from the religious prejudices that had enslaved it for centuries. But things were very different, and the writings of these three influential thinkers provided a framework that supported the slavery and exploitation of non-European races more than anyone else. We examine the great ambiguities of the Enlightenment and the main myths of atheism, such as The My...

A lucid and easy-to-understand view of how ground-breaking Jesus' message was in his world (and ours).

Understand how and why we all fit in his comforting embrace. Credits: Programme produced and recorded by Gabriel Porras at gabrielvoice.com and radiantw...

According to Islam, Paradise is a luxury brothel. As many as six Suras (chapters) of the Quran are devoted to this notion, with sensuous descriptions of steamy pleasures for those who gain entrance. And these descriptions are further enhanced by numerous hadiths. Sadly for all of us, only terrorists who die in jihad qualify for immediate access, which explains why they are so eager to blow themselves (and others) up. And Muslim women are not invited to Paradise because they would only spoil the ...

A billion women live under the shadow of Islam today (that's almost one in eight human beings walking the planet today). And all the evidence from fourteen centuries of Islamic history and theology points to the uncomfortable fact that Islam hates women.

A masterpiece of the Latin-American imagination. Juan José Arreola is one of the greatest writers of the XX Century in Spanish, one of the first to dare to abandon realism. He is the greatest precursor of Magical Realism. As Professor George D Schade says: Whatever the subject of his satire, Arreola most often achieves his effects by a deliberate jumbling of phantasy and reality, a mingling of the logical and the absurd, a blend of imaginative frivolity and Orwellian grimness.
