A Fully Real World

Casting Our Lot
Previous generations of immigrants to the US gave up old countries, old traditions, and old ways of living for what they believed to be a better life—and they didn't look back. That's not bad advice for someone on a spiritual journey either.

Uncorking Spiritual Healing
Internet radio is hoping to go bigtime by becoming portable. But there's a problem: WiFi networks are far from ubiquitous, so Internet radio isn't available everywhere. An assortment of companies are working on the problem—a problem spiritual healing doesn't have because it's truly wireless, not at all dependent on location.

Recovering a Kingdom
Archaeologists are scurrying to recover artifacts of the kingdom of Kush before the area it occupied millennia ago is flooded behind a new dam. There's another kingdom we all can recover much closer to home—and with far greater results.

Regenerative Medicine
Researchers think they might have hit on a technique to turn a person's cells into specialized tissues that can replace cells destroyed by disease—a major goal of what's known as regenerative medicine.

Fading Forms
A new report suggests that, billions of years from now, people won't be able to understand the universe because so much of it will have disappeared from sight. But we'll always be able to see and understand the real universe—the spiritual one.

Age: No Substance
A new poem by W.S. Merwin says that "age seems to be without substance at any time"—a refreshing change from what we usually hear about age. Truthful too.

The Energy We Need
Talk and action about energy use and its effects are on the upswing. But if we really want to deal with energy use and its results, we have to look to divine energy.

Liberation Theology
Pope Benedict XVI is visiting Latin America, where liberation theology is still an active force despite his calling it "a fundamental threat to the faith of the church" back in the 1980s. But spiritual liberation can't be taken out of Christianity.

Searching—And Finding Yourself
It's said that if you don't turn up high in a Google search, you're nobody. But search in the right place—God—and you find out that you're really somebody.

More Active Religious Life
Harvard probably has a "more active religious life now than there has been in 100 years," according to a professor there. That's an interesting sign—and one we all can take to heart.

Old Show, New View
Old TV shows are being boiled down into "minisodes" for online viewing. One executive calls it bringing "new life to shows that have been on the shelf for a while." That might not be a bad idea for scenes in our own lives as well.

Catalyst for Progress
The University of Pennsylvania is looking to revitalize Philadelphia and its economy. That's great. But the significant progress individuals can spur shouldn't be overlooked either.
