Plato & Socrates and The Meaning Of Life.
By CJ Doner
Plato sat shaking hands and writing short notes to Roman, Greek and other European philosophers. Younger students of Philosophy had gathered from around Europe to come and have a few brief moments with Plato himself. He was at his latest book signing outside of the Pantheon. It was a great honor to be invited here at this time in history and Plato was even himself a bit nervous. Of course, the Romans may not have invited Plato if his mentor, Socrates, had not agreed to give a short discussion after the signing.

Plato & Socrates find Zen.
By CJ Doner
More and more young Americans and movie stars are becoming great fans of Zen Buddhism and their ancient practice of meditation. In sports, NBA coach Phil Jackson has made the practice popular by implementing Zen practices with his team and leading them to eleven Championship victories. Among my friends I find them in a great state of tranquil peace after they emerge from their Zen meditation class. After observing all of these Zen activities and more, I thought it would be useful to research a bit about Zen. And who better to explore the research then our good friends Plato & Socrates.

I’m sure that no matter what your age that by the time you read this you have come across what most people categorize as “Cost/Benefit analysis”. However, chances are that there is no clear parameter for all of the equations in this formula. If we look back upon decisions we or others have made, sometimes we can’t but help ask “What was/were I/they thinking?” President Bill Clinton’s decision to conduct an affair and jeopardize his seat as the most powerful man in the world (along with the pope) all for sex! What was he thinking? What were the Enron executives thinking when, after already making out like bandits, they decided to seek after more and more money until they were finally put in jail? What was Adam thinking when he took a bite of an apple at the cost of being rejected from the greatest place on earth?

Reflection.
Lessening the Dark (not with light but with less dark).
By CJ Doner
I am so sick and tired of hearing about how we should repent our sinful natures and immediately beg for forgiveness all the while adapting so and so’s way of living. If you are sick of being told you need to change and that you are somehow disrespecting God with your sinful actions this is the article for you.
