The Large Scale Of The Universe

By Bruce Kriger

The problems arising from the uniqueness of the universe are compounded by its vast scale in both space and time, which poses major problems for observational cosmology. We therefore need to introduce various principles in addition to the observations in order to develop working models that will ...

Reflection And Realization: The Progress Of Our Evolution

By Bruce Kriger

The universe does not maintain rigid boundaries between living and inanimate matter. We can trace the fate of each atom in our body from the moment of its creation to the nuclei of stars, as a result of the evolution of the universe through the gradual accumulation of even heavier and consequentl...

Where Was Karl Marx Right?

By Bruce Kriger

Where was Marx right? Of course you cannot hold people in inhuman conditions, feed them poorly, make them work sixteen hours a day and pay them hardly anything. This is bad for everyone.

Eternity Ends Today

By Bruce Kriger

In one province there were no residents. It was intentionally left empty and was sanctified by priests so as to challenge, on scientific grounds, the age-old principle that a holy place is never an empty place. And so there was such a place. Anyone who settled there, either in error or by their o...

The Blind Monster

By Bruce Kriger

The word ‘conscience’ is not used much these days. Even though we understand conscience as ‘the awareness’ of a moral or ethical aspect to one's conduct together with the urge to prefer right over wrong, as the saying goes “Let your conscience be your guide.”...

Destruction As A Means Of Creation

By Bruce Kriger

Not every kind of destruction is evil; the destruction of evil is good. Not every type of creation is good; the creation of evil is bad. By echoing this childish approach I am trying to emphasize that the idea of destruction is as neutral as any other idea, although in our understanding it is not...

Are We Responsible For Our Ideas?

By Bruce Kriger

It often happens that we are facing the dilemma of which interpretations should be given to certain ideas. Therefore we can distinguish three main approaches that I would like to call negativism, positivism, and neutrality, although they are not necessarily used here in their usual sense. Neutr...

Achieving Peace Of Mind

By Bruce Kriger

People’s inability to analyze their motives and actions creates a lot of stress and causes frustration. Thinking is not that difficult, if you are used to doing it; it is just needs to become part of your lifestyle. People generally don’t like to think, not because thinking requires...

Human Nature Or Just The Chemistry Of Our Brains?

By Bruce Kriger

Freedom From Fear Vs. Fear Of Freedom

By Bruce Kriger

Protecting ourselves from excessive exposure to the media might reduce our tendency to sink into consumerism, and therefore protect us from an obsession with consumption as the main focus of our lives. In abandoning consumerism as a lifestyle, we may be surprised to realize how few things a perso...

Forgiveness As A Free Choice

By Bruce Kriger

Life itself starts with conflict: the first cry of a baby, its face showing a grimace of suffering and protest against the force that pushes it out, is a good illustration of this first conflict of our lives. We spend all the stages of our lives, our youth, our adult years, and even our senior ye...
