The future wars will not be between nations or armies. They are called “the wars of the Messiah,” and they will be wars for freedom from our very egoistic nature, which constantly pulls us each away from each other to…
I had once received a letter from a lady who wrote that she realized with horror that she had lost her ability to listen to other people, and she asked whether it were possible to regain that ability. My advice…
I was born and raised in a family of doctors. My mother was a gynecologist, my father a dentist, and my aunt and uncle were also physicians. If someone suddenly fell ill, immediately there was a phonendoscope, medications, consultations, and…
