Spiritual Insight

Suffering can strike anyone at any time - the death of a loved one, the loss of a job. No one would suggest that you should seek out suffering. And, no one would say that you should love suffering. In fact, suffering is not a being and, therefore, cannot be loved. But, these five insights about suffering will help you consider the value of suffering in a new light. Gerardine Guadagno shares stories of people who have lived through (or are still experiencing) suffering. She offers their examples of how to take a spiritual reality and put it into practice in a transformative way.

Science fiction reflects on the paths that bring us to the present while shining a light on opportunities and dangers ahead. It's through the power of the imagination that humanity stretches into unknown worlds yet peers into the depths of the human experience. In these stories from OldEarth and Newearth worlds, every character's life speaks to a mysterious whole that we'd miss without them.
