Do you feel like you are an empath? People who are empaths are highly sensitive people who have the natural ability to sense and tap into the emotional and cognitive states of others. Most are born this way, although some may develop later over the course of a lifetime.

The White Stone is a collection some of his best writing, arranged them thematically. A wonderful introduction to a creative, deeply spiritual, and ahead-of-his-time ...

What had struck him, was the fact that while the commandments demand that we be good, they don't tell us how to be good.

"The Bible tells us of Jesus' birth and of His being in the temple in Jerusalem when He was a boy of 12. But then there is no further mention of Him until about 20 years later when He starts His ministry. Where was He? Why did the Bible not say? After an intensive search and study of The Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient documents, I found where God gave instructions, through His Prophets, for the preparation of a place in the wilderness for His Son Jesus. The instructions were followed. A place was prepared." (Walter Parks)
