To all SM subscribers, Spiritual Mind will now be going by Wax Philosophical. It reflects the change from talking only about spirituality, to including all the other areas that make life sweet.

This one little blog post from a year ago crashed my server yesterday

This little quote speaks to so many people, just as it spoke to me when I first saw it. Hmm, I’d been so busy with starting my business, and miscellaneous family planning, that I’d ignored this special place (SpiritualMind) where I’d share thoughts and exchange ideas with great people.

It’s hard sometimes to make time even for those things that give you a lot of pleasure. I’m not sure why that is. Is the pressure of everyday life overwhelming that basic pleasurable need? Is it a fear of pursuing a passion? Not sure.

This huge traffic surprise jump-started me a little. I’m hoping to pick things up with the blog again soon, and I’ll share some of the trials and tribulations from the last year or so.

With love, Alex

Nice View On Life.

Dear SpiritualMind readers,

Had a little bit of a layoff from the blog for a few months. But get ready for a revamping — a lot of new and really cool content that hopefully you’ll like.

Topics coming up soon:

- Profiles on the major (and not so major) religions.
- Profiles of great spiritual teachers
- Developments in world religion and its influence on society
- The psychology of religion
- and of course more cool and interesting videos and documentaries

Thank you to everyone. You’ll all been so supportive, and I hope to show my gratitude by sharing all the coolness I can find.

With Love (on Valentine’s Day),

Alex

Interesting article by Susan Whitney of the Deseret News on what to do before you clear out your “garage”…so to speak.

Apparently, one important step is that you first need to get your spiritual life in order, then tackle your messy desk (or house). My favorite part is: “As you declutter, you will find your true self.”

Thank you for stopping by. My aim is to turn this site into a resource on all things spiritual. I have an interest in philosophy, spirituality and religion (though I myself wouldn’t say I adhere to any).

I welcome article contributions and ideas from everyone.

With love – Alex
