		<description><![CDATA[Editor&#8217;s note: This is a guest post by Louie Clearheart of The Love That I Am Many of us have heard the saying, “live simply, simply live.” This is a key to happiness.

		<description><![CDATA[Throughout the largest portion of my adult life, I have maintained what can best be described as an air of pseudo-intellectualism. My view of the world can sometimes be characterized by elitist attitudes towards films, books and entire groups of people. I have set myself on a pedestal which has in fact prevented any real [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Editor&#8217;s note: This is a guest post by &#8216;Zeno&#8217; First of all, I like to think of Religion as the mimicry spawning from revolutionary, charismatic, spiritual leaders (i.e. Jesus, Mohammad, Moses, Joseph Smith, etc.). The religious institutions are just imitating the teachings of those leaders. So it&#8217;s really the evolution of spirituality that we&#8217;re talking [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I love spaghetti, but it can be a complicated process to make it. It&#8217;s similar to life in that way. 1.
