The Speakers...Throughout Man's history there have been Speakers; Energy Gestalts of Conciousness sent to earth in various forms to interact with Man and remind us of who we truly are. Many of these Energy Personalities have been "Channelled" through humans. Seth is one such channeled personality, and is likely the same energy gestalt that includes Abraham through Esther Hicks, Guy Ballard and St. Germain, Edgar Cayce and others in our contemporary era.In September of 2009, I became acquainted w …

The purpose of this group is to use our shared experiences to enco …

Please join us at 7:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month for the next Socrates Café and another ninety minutes of philosophical exploration.

In the opening words to the preface of the first edition of Critique of Pure Reason, Kant says that our reason burdens us with questions we cannot ignore, but questions we also cannot answer. That's pretty much Philosophy, isn't it? It's got us thinking about those big questions of the universe beyond the reaches of our ability to know the answers with any kind of certainty. Does Philosophy help us better understand the world? Do we think better after studying Philosophy? Did you ever find yours …

I'm interested in starting a group of Humanists in Northeast Ohio with the intention of becoming a chapter of the American Humanist Association. The goals of this group can't be defined until more progress is made in forming it, but some ideas include social and support activity, hosting speakers and authors, and perhaps some Humanist activism.

Who are we? We are Muslims of varying degrees of religiousness: Some of us are practicing Muslims who simply want to take a more objective look at our teachings. Some of us want to discuss certain tenets of our faith that don’t sit well. Some of us have come to the realization that organized religion isn’t for us and want to discuss why. In a nutshell, we're a group of ex-muslims, progressive Muslims, LGBTQ Muslims, etc, hence the name muslim-ish. We're not the typical "mainstream" muslims, so d …
