… Feel free to believe that if you want, but don't call it science and stop teaching it to our kids with our tax dollars. It is your religion. Mutations don't produce new information, they only re-arrange information that is already there. A horse might grow a 5th leg or a 2nd head, but it won't grow wings. Mutations do not produce NEW information, they only re-arrange old information. And I would not bet on any mutated horse. Maybe that is because God got it right the first time and nothing i …

… It evolved through the ages and continues to develop through the efforts of thoughtful people who recognize that values and ideals, however carefully wrought, are subject to change as our knowledge and understandings advance.

The ultimate freedom is to have a completely clear and free mind. The human mind is always changing and is always trying to add more desirable experiences. There is no end to this addition. The way to find peace and clarity is to know the real world, the True world, by subtracting the past that has been recorded and stored within the body and mind as pictures. There is nothing more valuable than one's mind. It shapes the entire world that one knows. Through subtracting in Maum Meditation the Uni …

… His successors continued to develop the Dharma, creating new schools of thought and practice. In the current era, we have an unparalleled access to the teachings of many schools of Buddhism, even extinct ones lost in previous centuries but surviving in texts and artifacts of their time. Rather than enshrining any one tradition of practice, the Bay Area Open Sangha looks to the entirety of Buddhism as the ekayana or one vehicle bequeathed to us by history and the many dedicated practitioners and …

If you could ask God any question and know you'd get an answer... what would you ask? Q-Places are safe places to hear each other's opinions and perhaps get some answers. I moderate the group(s). Even tho' I'm a follower of Jesus, I aim for personal civility and humility (and hilarity) in our time together. I want to learn and I want us to learn from each other. I've come to see value in hearing each other, expressing our thoughts, and filling in gaps in our personal beliefs. In the interest of …

What is Coworking? Coworking is redefining the way we do work. The idea is simple: that independent professionals, freelancers, and those with workplace flexibility work better together than they do alone.¹ Coworking answers the question that so many face when working from home: “Why isn’t this as fun as I thought it would be?” Beyond just creating better places to work, coworking is built around the idea of community-building and sustainability.¹ Coworking is when we all work on our own project …

This group was started because my book club never read the books. We decided to go to the theatre and have a discussion after the show. Town Hall thought it was a great idea and it's now an official theatre event that includes a talk back with the cast a free glass of wine. Go to www.townhalltheatre.com for more information. You can usually show a few minutes before the show and buy your tickets at the box office.
