		<description><![CDATA[            Traditional Christians celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Jesus, the man whom they believe God sent to earth to teach, be crucified and resurrected, thereby vicariously saving us from our sins and ensuring us a place in heaven if we believe in him.             The majority of people in the world adhere to other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At its highest level, spirituality is consciously communing with Spirit—that magnificent, incomprehensible creative force that we call God. It is about transcending the ego-induced illusion of separation and experiencing ourselves as integral parts of the Whole, free from fear. It sounds so wonderful, and we all wish we could attain it, but few do. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago after George Harrison died, many TV and radio networks ran remembrances of him.  One was an interview that Mike Douglas did with George back in the late &#8217;60s.  Douglas was asking questions of George trying to gain some insight into his true persona, about which he was always quite guarded.  It went something [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just heard the wonderful religious scholar, Karen Armstrong, interviewed on NPR. She spent seven years as a Catholic nun feeling very empty and disillusioned before leaving and has since written several books on religion and spirituality which provide much needed perspective and clarity on these issues.
