A sense refers to a biological system for gathering information from the world that allows living organisms to detect and respond to stimuli in their environment. There are five physical senses that are commonly referenced, but there are a total of fifteen, or even more, senses that humans have access to so that they may learn about, and organize their world for meaningful and useful interaction.

Of Elders and Druids
A tribal elder is a member of a tribal community, recognized for their accumulated wisdom, experience, and spiritual or cultural knowledge, not simply because of their age.
Elders serve as vital knowledge-keepers, community leaders, and teachers who pass on traditional teachings and values often playing significant roles in spiritual practices and community decision-making.
Elders are repositories of a community's history, traditions, spirituality, and practical knowledge providing guidance on important community decisions, serving as spiritual and moral leaders, embodying traditional principles and living by example.
What is a Blog? What is a website? What’s the difference?
A blog is a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.
A website is a collection of webpages that are accessed with a single domain name or URL. It includes all of the individual pages, multimedia details and files stored on a web server.
The biggest difference is that a blog features dynamic, regularly updated content, arranged in reverse, chronological order, often in a conversational style, while a website has more static content on pages like “home” or “about us” that doesn’t change as frequently.
A blog focuses on informing and engaging readers through articles and comments, whereas a website is typically structured around transactions or providing foundational information about a business or organization.
Spiritual Character Building: Love
Divine love is more than just a fleeting emotional feeling or romantic inclination. It's a deep, abiding commitment rooted in Divine character, emphasizing action, sacrifice, and loyalty.
Spiritual Love is unconditional; this selfless, sacrificial love is given freely without expecting anything in return.
Spiritual Character Building: Brotherly Affection
Brotherly affection, often referred to as "brotherly love", is a deep, familial love and affection that should exist among those who are of the family of the Divine.
It is feeling such a love and respect for others that one considers almost everyone a "part of the family." It's a reflection of Divine love and is characterized by compassion, care, and mutual support, mirroring the natural bond between siblings.
Spiritual Character Building: Godliness
Godliness refers to a life that is pleasing to God, to the Divine.
The Divine has standards characterized by a commitment to living according to divine wisdom and with reverence. It involves both an inward devotion and an outward expression of that devotion through righteous behavior.
Essentially, godliness is about being like the divine in thoughts, feelings, desires, and actions; a mighty tall order for mere humans.
Spiritual Character Building: Endurance
Spiritual self-endurance, often discussed alongside perseverance and patience, refers to the ability to withstand trials, hardships, and temptations while maintaining faith and integrity.
It's about remaining steadfast in one's commitment to the divine and divine teachings through difficult circumstances. Spiritual endurance is not merely enduring hardship.
Spiritual Character Building: Self-control
This characteristic helps spiritually faithful to resist temptation and avoid harmful behaviors. It involves making conscious choices to align one's behavior with the divine's character. It extends to thoughts, feelings, and internal states.
A Co-Creative Partnership Between Science and Nature
Have
you ever wondered what allows us/humanity to come alive?
What if.... all the answers we could ever want were right here within our awareness? How might this be possible?
As I desired to know more.... I have been guided to understand and interact with the “unseen” world. First.... through metaphysical books and spiritual authors/teachers and then through studies of mediumship (communicating between the seen and unseen worlds). I have discovered through personal experience that there are many things that are not visible to our human eyes.
Spiritual Character Building: Knowledge
It's not merely conscious awareness, but also an experiential spiritual application of truth in daily life. This knowledge is often gained through personal experiences, meditation and prayer, and studying wisdom literature, history and scripture. It involves discernment, perception, and the ability to apply truth to life situations. For instance, knowing that a tomato is a fruit is knowledge, but wisdom dictates not putting it in a fruit salad. True knowledge involves understanding what to do with information.
A Dawning of New Living Potentials
What now? As we look around.... listen carefully.... and become aware of a deeper realm within us that calls us to forgive ourselves and others, decide a new direction, and choose methods, concepts, and skills that promote and perpetuate a healthy foundation built on Integrity, Truth, and Divine Love.
Spiritual Character Building: Goodness
Goodness is a core attribute of the divine, reflecting a character of love, kindness, and generosity. But spiritual goodness goes beyond simply feel good emotions or presenting an image of goodness to the world; it involves actively choosing and doing what is right, both in terms of behavior and character.
Spiritual Character Building: Faith
The Apostle Peter, in the biblical book of 2 Peter, lists eight characteristics of Spiritual character.
Using AI, the following spiritual definitions and characteristics are explained and expounded for your consideration.
All eight characteristics will be shared over the coming weeks and will be linked together for your reference.

Rabbit Trails of Light, Part 2
In my original article Rabbit Trails of Light I presented the foundational blocks of energy so far as science has learned about them. Here in part 2 I want to present to you a sketch of an understanding of A tree of life that may help to comprehend how some of these rabbit trails stitch together.
A Sailing Ship Analogy
“Spirit” is an energy that moves throughout the universe. It is an energetic animating and moving force much as the wind on the Earth is an energetic and moving force.
Each of us reading this is a “co-creator” with the divine and may utilize these energetic, animating, moving forces. Like a sailing ship, we may use these forces to “sail” us through the life that we have chosen.

Rabbit Trails of Light
Have you ever awakened with a dream that seemed to make so many things clear to you? I had one about a year ago and I managed to get it written down before it faded away.
Let me see if we can hop down this rabbit trail of light before it gets too tangled in the bushes. I’ll list these as bullet points with a brief explanation. Our SOW article Photons, Light and God/Source/Energy is also a good summary of a lot of this information.
