Blinded by Binaries: Why We Don’t See the Infinite Dignity of Two-Spirit People

There is much to learn from and praise in “Dignitas Infinita” (infinite dignity), the April 8 Vatican declaration. But its understanding of human dignity is wedded to binary opposites. This view puts the Vatican in an unholy alliance with Idaho’s legislature, which in order to wipe out the rights of transgender people has declared that there only two sexes, male and female.

The Ease of AI Making Decisions for Us Risks Losing the Skills to Do that Ourselves

In a world where what and how people think is already under siege thanks to the algorithms of social media, we risk putting ourselves in an even more perilous position if we allow AI to reach a level of sophistication where it can make all kinds of decisions on our behalf.

By Charles Vaden

How often do we pass through life not knowing how we got here? All the while playing in and influencing our minds are the multitude of things that, upon our passing, will not have made any impact at all on our human condition.

We are stewards of the earth and helpers of our fellow man. It’s true–we still live in Eden, for it is but one decision away.

As we cast off the cloak of our blindness, we will see the beauty and abundance that has always been here.

To be mislead concerning our birth right is one thing, but to persist in an impoverished condition by choice of thought is, in fact, delusional.

Therefore let us heed the guidance of Isaiah 58:6 wherein he states, “Is not this the fast I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, and set the oppressed free and break every yoke?”

We as a humanity were born under the yoke of imposed lack and scarcity not ordained by the creator. We as the Light of the world can, will and do see a new way.
