		<description><![CDATA[‘I don’t believe life has a purpose. Life is a lot of protoplasm with an urge to reproduce and continue in being&#8230; but each incarnation, you might say, has a potentiality, and the mission of life is to live that potentiality.&#8217; Joseph Campbell is an incredible storyteller, spiritual guru, philosopher, academic (comparative religion &#38; comparative [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following a question from someone who came across this blog, I was inspired to revisit Resolution Theory &#8211; Gregory David Roberts&#8217; philosophical and cosmological model shared through Khader Bhai, the Mafia don, in Shantaram: The Novel. Roberts writes: “The whole universe is moving toward some ultimate complexity. This has been going on since the universe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It&#8217;s easier said than done.&#8221; I think we all have discovered this at some point or another. A couple of weeks ago I was struggling with a few big decisions and I punched the following rant into my phone on my way to work.
