Passionate Oversights: A True Crime Story

By: By Charles W. Massie

This is a true story of seduction and corruption. All the events occurred in the town of Burkesville, a small farming community in South Central Kentucky. Charlie Mason is a happy, retired gentleman living in upstate New York; one of the snowiest parts of the nation. He yearns to move to a warmer climate such as Tennessee or Georgia. A romantic relationship in his life would be nice also. He meets a woman on the social media platform Craig's list, who promises to ...

My public defender Harrison, from the Department of Public Advocacy, told me I would probably go back to court this week. I figured the day would be today and once again, my logic came in spot on. At about 9:30 A.M., a guard came in to fetch me for the transport van. On this trip, nine inmates would make an appearance in court. We all squeezed into the transport van like sardines. Once again upon our arrival, all the inmates for court herded into a holding cell, to ...

The Cornerstone

By: By Whick Withy

I've always had a lot of questions. Like, why does everyone say, "We're just human"? Like it is some sort of verbal stain remover. Or, "Things change"? As if it were an absolution and a reprieve rather than a self-defeating proposal. The Golden Rule, as far as I can see, is, "Don't get caught" - to the bitter end. Or, "That's just life"? Like it is some sort of all purpose cleaner. Of course, the central question was always why is mankind so very screwed up? Then it hit me....

This stunning difference between human and animal completely befuddled our primitive ancestors and still takes modern humans by surprise, disabling our ability to don the mantle of our sentience. It leaves us baffled and deceived. A sentient endeavor is required that will transform all of mankind like a butterfly leaving its cocoon.

How To Get Better At Things You Don'T Know You'Re Bad At By 2020

By: By Jose Franco

The goal of my story is to bring attention to the things we don’t think we’re bad at and help individuals work through the unconscious resistance. This will involve a great deal of introspection and even then, it’s an extremely difficult job. One doesn’t usually have proper insight into ones own emotional makeup. Most of us spend our time trying to rationalize our behavior as a result of our lack of self awareness.

Openness and awareness begins with the ability to self-critique and reflect upon things central to one’s own beliefs, thoughts, actions, behavior, and results. Openness can inform private, personal or group discussions. Ideally, all capable people should look for reasons to start/continue the work of self improvement. Nobody is equal to anybody. Even the same person is not equal to him/herself on different days. The first steps to continuous improvement is to know yours...

The Brown Butterfly

By: by Christian Felt

To Norwegians in the near future who blame Hitler on Wagner and the oppression of women on The Taming of the Shrew, Søren’s love for high culture looks a lot like “hate.” Despite being morbidly oversensitive and gay, Søren has trouble fitting into a world that celebrates nothing more than equality. When his school bans even George Eliot for being a dead white male, Søren must decide whether to retreat further into his imagination or literally fight back. Or both. In t...

Father Dorsten said that fear of ghosts was nothing next to fear of a ghost. “The Holy Ghost?” Grandma asked. “I certainly don’t believe in any other.” “What do you think he looks like?” Mother asked. “I’ve always pictured him as young and bald, riding a cloud, like one of the trebles in The Magic Flute.” “I think you’d have trouble giving me chapter and verse for that,” Father Dorsten said. Grandma said, “In Culture and Anarchy, Matthew Arnold wrote, ‘One may say t...

Demons of Druid Oaks

By: by Cheryl Adam

Demons of Druid Oaks combines a ghost story and complex historical mystery with an exploration of the troubled relationship between a father and son and the rocky friendship between a privileged aristocrat and caretaker's son.

Leslie stared at the empty grave for a few seconds, and then looked at Sam. His father’s thick work boots and the knees of his old pants were smeared with mud, and his fingernails were outlined with dark grime. Was this the same man who used to wear a tie and sit in an elegant office filling out crisp white forms for people in business suits? “Doesn’t it bother you at all to be digging graves for people?” There was bitterness in Leslie’s tone. “Why should it?” Sam look...

Oh! How Amazing the Awareness of Dada! (Hindi Dadavani September-2019)

By: By Dada Bhagwan; Deepakbhai Desai, Editor

Param Pujya Dadashri used to say that after attaining Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) in 1958, ‘we’ started Seeing the faults of the past. ‘We’ could See about three thousand faults every day. After doing pratikraman for four years for all the faults, He reached the state of the Gnani. The Gnani Purush does not have a single gross or subtle mistake! He only has subtler and subtlest mistakes. He does not miss out on staying in His own state as the Self, and He discloses and ...
