Spirit Matters Media is the brainchild of long time producer Ed Conley. Ed is a lifelong learner of various spiritual traditions and seeker of truth. He recognized long ago that many of the paths he respects are the victims of misunderstanding, misconceptions, and fear. My Spirit Matters was conceived to create understanding and unity, and has been two years in the conceptual stages. Earlier this year, Michael and Kathy Link met Ed and discovered quickly that we all share a sense of awe for the variety of spiritual paths in our world. We also share a sense of sadness at the lack of understanding out there. Around this time, Ed realized that he cannot accomplish what he has set out to do alone, so he asked Michael and Kathy to partner with him for My Spirit Matters Media, LLC.

The purpose of My Spirit Matters Media is to foster and produce media about the multitude and variety of spiritual and religious practices, and hopefully bring people to the same conclusion that we have come to – that we are all so much more alike then we are different, and that the most important thing that we can do as human beings is to treat each other with honor, dignity, and respect.

Friday, 18 April 2008

According to many sources, the Christian Bible mentioned that one should fear God in more than 200 passages. Yet in other parts of the Bible, there are hundredths of references to teaching of not being afraid. How would you reconcile this paradox ? Should we afraid or not afraid of God ? If you say afraid, you will go straight to the seventh level of hell. If you say not afraid, you will also be punished in fire for eternity. Katz! Katz! Katz! Drink your coffee, go out and smell the gentle fragrance of the spring breeze.
