The Universal Jig
This blog is not about announcing any truths or untruths, but rather to ask questions about all those 'truths' in life that we accept and assume with such confidence to be realities. Such dogmas are frequently shamelessly espoused, often ignorantly, by so-called leaders whom are found lurking in all facets of life. They usually expect you to dance to their discordant tunes and arrhythmical beats. I question the explanations of reality as well as vague concepts such as the UNIVERSE, GOD, LOVE, SACREDNESS and SPIRITUALITY by so-called 'leaders', 'experts' and 'specialists' who do not hesitate to use subterfuge, conjecture, suspicions, opinions and deceit, for the sole purpose of bolstering systems in which they themselves may be heavily invested.
Spirituality
Around this blog, the term 'spirituality' refers to anything that addresses man's problematic relationship with his beingness. How do we make sense of our existence? Where do our thoughts and perceptions come from, and where do they lead us? How do we rationalize what we do, and why is rationalization necessary at all? Why are we seeking for answers, and why is there the need for answers at all?
Spiritual growths appears to be - at least to me - the degree to which a person's perceptions, explanations, and attitudes seem to make sense of it all to another group of humans who are faced with similar conundrums. That such people attract the attention they do - even to the point where it can serve as impetus to the formation of a creed, religion or similar social coherent group - is understandable, especially if one's own answers are less sophisticated and have greater shortcomings.
On the other side of the scale it also seems human nature that some might find it attractive, and will aspire, to becoming a leader who can lead others to a promised land. It brings rewards: his or her ideas are validated and given the credentials of group support, but it also gives him or her many social benefits: sexually, materially, in status and often a degree of exemption from common social restrictions, rules and laws.
There are a few subcategories under this main topic but these may change and grow larger as we progress.

Praying with Caroline
Does it make sense to replace the concept of the ultimate unknown by a concept Caroline Myss calls 'the Truth'?
Satan's Tutu
Often we create exactly those circumstances that we want to prevent - things weigh so heavily on our minds, that they are manifested by our fear of them.
Just in Case
Uncertainty is a form of fear. No matter how confident we seem to the outside world, can we ever be certain of our convictions? Perhaps, playing it safe, is one way of covering all the bets.
There's a Meet in Paradise
How practical are the very popular depictions of heaven or paradise by some of our major religions? Aren't the popular promises of the hereafter not merely wishful thinking arising from an immediate need or longing for more pleasant conditions in life?
