Hitting the Mark but Missing the Point

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #632: At Vartavar the story of the Transfiguration is washed up. Put into perspective, there is an opportunity for Peace for the world, but we miss the point and therefore we lose that opportunity. Fr. Vazken takes you on this journey with some challenges along the way. Light: the beginning of the Universe, revealed today.

How did we miss that?

Next Step #625: Are we reading the same Bible? How did you miss that? How did I miss that? Cafeteriaizing and getting full. George Floyd killing, protest, the place of religion for peace. Much more.

A Rock Standing Rock: Merry Christmas

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #446: Fr. Vazken’s 2016 Christmas Message. Finding the underlying spirit in Christmas and in life. An army of robots doing good work doesn’t get the work done. The “God force” that pushes us to do. Standing Rock: the story of an Armenian who stands at the Standing Rock. Connecting to the Divine and the Eternal. Fr. Vazken’s 2016 Christmas message, “Even if all the stories of shepherds and wise men were fabricated…”  The moment of singularity: the God force that is born in each of us to bring Peace and Harmony. The Winter Solstice is today! Ring out those bells! The Birth of the Sun.

Pointers

/0 Comments/in /by

Next Step #418: Fr. Vazken points to a couple of examples of activism – one reactive another proactive – both worthy of attention and emulation. At UCSD a racist blurb demands reaction that goes beyond ethnic protectionism. In Van Nuys, a father is honored for life-long activism in the Church. Paths toward peace and becoming the instruments of that peace. The courteous side of atheism and more.

Next Step #394: Picking up on a challenge and listening for the change that comes from within. This is a special Christmas Eve edition where Fr. Vazken shares some music which awakens the dormant expressions of love and peace in us all. Not your usual fare of carols, but some gems that go by unforgotten. The “motion” of Armenian Orthodox liturgy… Slipstreaming in a VW… War, Terror, Peace and Love – connecting the dots.
