Ever since I learned about the law of attraction (and have experienced it), I have stopped reading newspapers because I don't want to give my attention and energy to the conflicts in this world, but rather to peace and happiness. However, I feel like this is making me ignorant. I really do want to work towards international conflict resolution and peace, but what role should learning history a...

I live in terror all the time. I am looking into a future of overwhelming challenges. I want to believe that I can meet my challenges but deep inside I have doubts. I know its my job to work this out, but could you lend some helpful ideas to overcome this idea that I am not capable of overcoming what is now overwhelming me?...

If you do not let people treat you rudely or badly, and you do not try to help them change, would that not make you pretty much alone in the world?...

Sometimes people with depression have no choice but to "give in" to depression, so don't they need kindness and understanding?...

If I hurt another human being via thoughtlessness or neglect, either physically or emotionally, is my suffering that results from eventual awareness of my stupidity useless, or is it the pangs of conscience?...

You say that "when we will put ourselves on the side of what we know is true, then the Truth takes our side." People are constantly using the word "truth." When you say that "Truth takes our side," this seems like a religious statement and leaves me void of any comfort whatsoever, because truth is relative... what is your truth, may not be my truth, and visa-versa. Real truth does not have any...

My 20-year old daughter died six weeks ago. I understand that grief is a process. I don't want it to take the best of me, but I know it's important to let it run its course. Any words of advice are appreciated.

If I ever needed higher help, I really need it now. When I came home yesterday from work I found that my wife had moved out and emptied the house. She and the children left without leaving a note or even letting me know where they are. This has been the worst year of my life, with money and children problems. Please help me. I am going crazy because I know I always did the right thing while we...

I have difficulty with the simplest of decisions, so very large ones -- which become laced with all kinds of interesting details and coincidences -- occupy enormous amounts of my energy and time. Do you have any helpful insights into these stressful moments of having to make decisions?...

Do you have any suggestions for making use of idle time such as waiting in lines, traffic, doctor offices, etc.? I feel bored with my job and my life in general. In the past I would have looked for a new job or a time-consuming hobby. Can self-understanding clear up the boredom, or should I take outward steps to do so? I am not motivated by my present job. Is there inner work I can do to relie...

Many Christians have made translation changes to the original Bible and I appreciate your interpretations of the original Aramaic. When Christ talks about the three "talents," was he talking (in the Aramaic) about money or inborn abilities?...

With all the unrest in the world and Christians who talk about end times, I have to admit that I am very concerned about what is in store for the world, our country, and for my family. I believe in God and I don't want to live my life worrying. I do believe that one day we will all be in heaven and in peace; it is just the process of getting there that scares me!...
