		<description><![CDATA[Humans, thinking, and consciousness all evolve &#8212; and our religion and politics must evolve with it. Time to examine the other side of the &#8220;political theology&#8221; debate and check in with Rousseau and The Savoyard Vicar. Section III: The Inner Light. My favorite quote from this section of Professor Lilla&#8217;s essay goes like this: &#8220;There [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finished Neil Gaiman&#8217;s American Gods at about 1:30 this morning. I adore &#8220;page turners&#8221; like this, though I have to say this is the most singular &#8220;page turner&#8221; I&#8217;ve ever encountered. As readers of this blog will probably know, all meaning is context bound, and contexts are endless. Here&#8217;s mine: When this book was [...]]]></description>

Section II: The Great Separation. For those who study the evolution of human consciousness, this could [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A review of Shahram Shiva&#8217;s Lovedrunk. In a phrase: Rumi served light and sensous over well-crafted Middle-Eastern grooves. Well worth adding to the soundtrack of your life. Disclaimer: I&#8217;m not a professional reviewer. No one pays me to write this stuff.

So instead of struggling to produce something substandard, I&#8217;d rather refer you to the article on Alternet.org which is embedded in the title. In case you missed it, it&#8217;s The [...]]]></description>
