From the Omega website: “Emerging scientific studies are revealing a universal consciousness–one mind and soul–that connects us all through space and time, offering a deeper understanding of what it means to be human and confirming what many ancient spiritual teachings say about the human hunger to belong, to love, and to care for one another.”

Bertha Huse, a teenage mill girl, goes out for a walk in the cool morning mist of a New Hampshire fall. This is her habit, but her family worries when she does not return for breakfast and does not show up for work. A few hours later, a full-scale search is in progress. She likes to walk a Shaker bridge across Lake Mascoma, and it is feared she may have fallen into the water and drowned. The mill owner sends for a diver. There is no sign of Bertha above or below water.

There were so many nights when I, as a young boy, had to watch helplessly as my father verbally and physically abused my mother. I can still recall the smell of alcohol, see the fear in my mother’s eyes, and feel the hopeless despair that comes when we see people we love hurting each other in incomprehensible ways.

I see my mother’s face and I see this gentle human being whom I loved so very much and who did nothing to deserve the pain inflicted upon her.

“I had spent many hours and many days enjoying the atmosphere in Watkins Books when I lived in London. The new website offers a “Spiritual Map” of London, that anyone can contribute to. In that spirit, I would like to add to my sort of “Holistic Map” of what the internet has to offer: locally, throughout the U.S. and abroad.”
