Robert D. Sears, How Frightened Do We Have to Become?

Robert D. Sears reflects on the growing danger of nuclear conflict, arguing that the greatest threat may come not from deliberate intention but from miscalculation, misunderstanding, technological failure, and rapid escalation. Drawing on WarGames and his wife’s deeply personal visit to Hiroshima only sixteen years after the bombing, he contrasts the abstract language of deterrence with the devastating human reality of nuclear war. Rather than calling for greater fear, Sears urges greater awareness, communication, restraint, arms control, and a recognition that in nuclear war there can ultimately be no winner.

J.B. Gattini, I Could See the Security Council. I Just Couldn’t Hear It.

More than twenty-five years ago, J.B. Gattini, Founder of Enlightenment Media News, arrived at UN Radio hoping to understand how the United Nations worked from the inside—and discovered that sometimes the most revealing lessons come from unexpected places. As the 2026 UN General Debate begins, she looks back at her experience and asks a question that remains as relevant as ever: once the speeches are over, will the world turn words into action?

J.B.Gattini, The Tuesday We All Remember

A personal remembrance of September 11, 2001, told through the ordinary moments that suddenly became unforgettable: a television left on in the background, the urgent need to reach a child, and a shaken New York trying to move forward. Twenty-five years later, the memories remain a powerful reflection on loss, resilience, healing, and the fragile value of everyday lif

UN General Assembly 2026: Dates, Priorities and What to Watch

At a time of war, geopolitical rivalry, climate pressure and declining trust in international institutions, the world’s most universal diplomatic forum is opening a new session. The 81st United Nations General Assembly begins in New York on September 8, 2026, bringing together representatives of 193 Member States.

Iceland Chooses Not to Reopen EU Membership Talks

Icelandic voters rejected a proposal to restart negotiations on joining the European Union, with 52.8% voting against the move. Concerns about protecting Iceland’s fishing industry and national control played an important role, while supporters argued that closer EU integration could bring greater economic stability. The result means Iceland will remain outside the EU while continuing its close economic and political relationship with Europe.

Frank D. Sears, ACIM: A User’s Manual for Humanity

The article presents A Course in Miracles as a possible “user’s manual for humanity” — a guide for recognizing how fear, guilt, judgment, and the belief in separation shape our perception of ourselves and the world. Rather than trying to fix life entirely from the outside, ACIM invites us to look within, question the interpretations that disturb our peace, practice forgiveness, and become willing to “choose again.” Ultimately, the article suggests that the Course is not a manual for making humanity more comfortable within its illusions, but for awakening from them and remembering our deeper identity in love and peace.

Robert D. Sears, The Resistance to True Forgiveness

Forgiveness is easy to admire in theory—and much harder to practice when we feel deeply hurt. In this thoughtful exploration of A Course in Miracles, Robert D. Sears looks beyond conventional ideas of forgiveness and asks what it might mean to release the interpretations, grievances, and identities that keep us bound to pain. His article offers a compassionate reflection on forgiveness not as weakness or denial, but as a path toward inner freedom, peace, and spiritual awakening.

Steve Bhaerman, The Great Upwising: Time to Face the Elephant – and Donkey – in the Living Room

There’s a great awakening afoot, and you won’t hear about it on the news.
The news cannot report it, because the news is beholden to narratives – and ultimately beholden to those who “be holdin’ the purse strings.” Yes, polarization sells, and fear and anger ensure engagement. But there’s a bigger story than that.

Dr. Saulius Norvaišas, Collective Intelligence: Society Learning to Use Its Own Mind, Part III: Why the Idea Must Stand Without the Name

The article argues that valuable ideas are often overlooked because people judge the status, reputation, or authority of the person presenting them rather than the quality of the idea itself. It introduces the principle of accountable anonymity, a key feature of Collective Intelligence, which allows ideas to be evaluated fairly without social bias while still ensuring that contributors remain responsible and receive recognition for their contributions.

Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) Launches Unified Theory of Health

Rob Verkerk shares his thoughts toward a unified theory of health — one focused not on disease, but on building the foundational terrain that promotes resilience and flourishing, while avoiding the evolutionary mismatches that drive premature ageing and chronic illness.

German New Medicine (GNM) Presented by Dr. Caroline Mercolin: What Are “Diseases”?

Dr. Steve G. Jones, How Hypnosis Helps With Weight Loss

Contrary to popular belief and its portrayal by the media, hypnosis is not mystical in nature, and neither is it some kind of magic trick or illusion. In fact, it’s about as harmless as closing your eyes, relaxing, and imagining a positive image of yourself.
But hypnosis is powerful, even if it’s based on the power of mind over body. And it’s this same power that makes hypnosis perfect for boosting your weight loss efforts.

Steve Bhaerman, Functional Politics – An Idea Whose Time Has Come

Vision: A functional, healthy, and transparent political system that works for the benefit of each and all — where we are united in our desire to solve problems together, and where truth and justice prevail.

Rosanne Lindsay, Decoding a Fake Reality

Reality is a program of beliefs we decode: Disease equals Health; Fake news equals Truth. Wars equal Peace. Uniformity equals Unity. State-granted rights equal human rights. Slavery equals Freedom. All is an illusion. As our world unfolds in multiple dimensions, we are focused on a time-space continuum (linear construct) with limited perception.

Mac Fulfer, Amazing Face Readings: Is Intelligence something that can be seen on a person’s face?

Is intelligence something that can be seen on a person’s face? If we are talking about predicting a person’s IQ score with a tiny margin of error, then probably not. Researchers claim that there are at least 23 different kinds of intelligence. Since our faces reflect our thoughts and feelings, it is not surprising that we will find quite a few facial clues to help us answer this question.
