I use Substack to teach about the intersection between spirituality and democracy—anonymously. Why?
While power often corrupts, love and the power of knowledge together humble a person. To teach these though, one must use the confidence derived from them even if it may be misinterpreted as a lack of humility, depending on the culture.
This is especially true when I must speak in spiritual absolutes. For even if they resonate as true in the minds of those of us who live by the relatives of science, they may take it offensively. Likewise, those of us of faith may see my approach as having a lack of faith and too philosophical.
So bear with me when I address the scientific/philosophical community or religious community. I may appear to be an atheist then later a Christian. To avoid confusion, I use the word Name to mean God or Life depending on how the reader chooses to hear it.
I do not share my beliefs to keep the focus off me and on the subject of loving the enemies of conscience, staying neutral, invisible, neither liked nor disliked, like a window. This is facilitated by my remaining anonymous.
Start here.
