The Tao of Christ Marshall Davis

Nonduality in an Age of Outrage
We live in an age of outrage. Everyone is outraged about something or other. The most recent outrage is over the war in Gaza. Students on college campuses across our country and around the world are calling attention the unending killing going on in Gaza.

It is the politics of outrage with each side casti...
