Perfection is crucial in building an aircraft, a bridge, or a high-speed train. The code and mathematics residing just below the surface of the Internet is also this way.

For some years now, there has been proof that the devastating effects of the traumatization of children take their inevitable tollon society--a fact that we are still forbidden to recognize.

Hundreds of other cult leaders have gathered far more followers than Jones by promising new psychological and spiritual utopias.

Soul, to me, means embodied essence, when we experience ourselves and others in our full humanity - part animal, part divine. Healing comes through embodiment of the soul.
