    Or, To Chip or Not To Chip - That is The Question. Are GPS chip implants a good idea, or a scary way "the Man" can keep a perpetual eye on where we are in the world? Are they just another way to potentially control the populous, or a beneficial technology for Humankind in general?

  • One who believes himself to be leading a supreme war against Evil on behalf of Good will be incapable of understanding any claims that he himself is acting immorally.
  • These days religious people want to be called “people of faith.” But I object to the practice of using the word faith as a synonym for religion. Faith is a component of religion, to one degree or another, but not religion itself.
  • Zen students are told that the path of Zen takes “great faith, great doubt, and great determination.”

  • Great Faith and Great Doubt are two ends of a spiritual walking stick. We grip one end with the grasp given to us by our Great Determination. We poke into the underbrush in the dark on our spiritual journey. This act is real spiritual practice - gripping the Faith end and poking ahead with the Doubt end of the stick. If we have no Faith, we have no Doubt. If we have no Determination, we never pick up the stick in the first place.
  • true faith requires true doubt; without doubt, faith is not faith
  • in the histories of the major monotheistic religions — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam — you can find many great theologians, scholars, rabbis, contemplatives, and mystics whose religious understanding came from wrestling with their doubts.
  • To religious seekers and mystics, “A state in which the mind is suspended between two contradictory propositions and unable to assent to either of them” is a fertile place from which profound understanding may grow. Certainty, on other hand, is a sterile rock that grows nothing.
  • Unfortunately, religious institutions tend to be run by dogmatists, not seekers.
