How does it work? What can it do for us?
- [It is Not Lost on Me](https://danassisi.com/it-is-not-lost-on-me/) - It is not lost on me that when I enter the warmth of my home from the cold of night, I do so in more ways than one. For that — and much more — I am forever thankful.
- [Resurrection - A Deeper Easter](https://danassisi.com/ressurection-a-deeper-easter/) - Easter is about how we will resurrect from holding the belief that only physical life matters and open ourselves up to new perspectives. Because there is no death, Easter is about life – and choosing to see it for what it really is.
- [In One Hundred Years](https://danassisi.com/in-one-hundred-years/) - Think forward to one hundred years from now. Where will you be? What will your life be remembered for? What you do today, then, matters.
- [Follow Your Road](https://danassisi.com/follow-your-road/) - How often do you stop to ponder about how far you have come? Life at times gets so busy, it becomes almost automatic -- as if day and night were trading turns without you realizing. Don't let it become the norm.
- [The End of Times? Yes, Please.](https://danassisi.com/the-end-of-times/) - Many people worry the end of times may come soon. I worry it is not coming soon enough. Hear me out.
- [Video: The Origins of Thanksgiving](https://danassisi.com/video-the-origins-of-thanksgiving/) - I hope you take the time to reflect on the spiritual meaning of this great holiday! May you always be courageous to try new things, thoughtful to reflect on what we have done, grateful for everything we have, and the ability to keep moving forward!
- [Permanent Treasures - Happiness According to Buddha and Christ](https://danassisi.com/permanent-treasures-happiness-according-to-buddha-and-christ/) - Buddha and Christ agree on the causes of suffering and on how to achieve happiness. We should take a hint.
- [The Spirit of the Reformation and the Next 500 Years](https://danassisi.com/the-spirit-of-the-reformation/) - Exactly 500 years ago, the world witnessed the beginnings of a transformation that changed religious thinking and practice forever: the Protestant Reformation. What are the next 500 going to be like?
- [We Are "Spiritual" Glaciers](https://danassisi.com/we-are-glaciers/) - It takes 100 feet of snow to, overtime, form one foot of strong, blue glacier ice. That's just amazing to me. That's also not unlike our spiritual evolution.
- [Video: Education, an Act of Love](https://danassisi.com/video-education-an-act-of-love/) - Why education is so important to us from a social perspective and why each one of us should consider broadening our personal understanding of it to include a spiritual component.
- [Missing the Mark: "Spiritism", Not "Kardecism"](https://danassisi.com/spiritism-not-kardecism/) - The name is "Spiritism" for good reasons. Calling it "Kardecism" misses the mark -- and short changes this incredible body of knowledge.
- [Sagan's "A Pale Blue Dot" & Our Place in the Universe](https://danassisi.com/sagans-a-pale-blue-dot-our-place-in-the-universe/) - Do you have 5 minutes? Watch this beautiful video on Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" to see how Science can also leads us to Spirituality.
- [Challenges as True Compliments](https://danassisi.com/challenges-as-true-compliments/) - The challenges we face in our lives are perhaps the greatest compliments we can receive -- spiritually-speaking, of course. Hear me out...
- [Should we update the Spiritist Codification?](https://danassisi.com/should-we-update-the-spiritist-codification/) - Should we try to make it easier to understand? Perhaps go for a “new edition”? Here are some thoughts on these important questions...
- [What is "Umbral" Anyway?](https://danassisi.com/what-is-umbral-anyway/) - One of the most confusing and perhaps misunderstood terms in Spiritism for those who are beginning their studies is “umbral”. So, what is it?
- [The Promise of December](https://danassisi.com/the-promise-of-december/) - It's December - my favorite part of the year. The holidays invite us to go inside and reflect -- and for me, it's time to leave other people's Jesus behind.
- [The Proper Place for Memories: Saying Goodbye to 27 Years Ago](https://danassisi.com/the-proper-place-for-memories-saying-goodbye-to-27-years-ago/) - The school that brought me to the US 27 years ago is closing. But the history and the emotions are staying. So, what do we do with all our memories?
- [The Leaf Blower: A Closer Look](https://danassisi.com/the-leaf-blower-a-closer-look/) - Is the leaf blower the perfect example of what we should NOT be doing with our lives?

- [When Poetry Strikes: "Shiny Things"](https://danassisi.com/when-poetry-strikes-shiny-things/) - There’s something to cadence, rhythm, and rhyme that speaks to me. It's been a while, but here's the latest.
- [Beyond Fourth of July](https://danassisi.com/happy-independence-day-beyond-4th-of-july/) - It's Fourth of July and I write to you from Alaska — the “last frontier”, as the state is known. But there’s much more to it.
- [Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!](https://danassisi.com/merry-christmas-and-happy-holidays/) - It’s Christmas. I find myself sitting in my office at home, which is warm and spacious and overlooks a series of Southern California Palm Trees. My wife is doing well, my children are growing without a care in the world. The truth is: this year has been really good for our family. We have spent
- [Spiritually Thanksgiving](https://danassisi.com/spiritually-thanksgiving/) - Hundreds of years ago, driven by the impulse that life could be more, our forefathers left the old continent in search of a new life. They left everything they had (and were) behind. They braved vast seas, suffered long journeys, and faced uncertainty to levels few of us experience today – all for the promise
- [An Everyday Miracle on Walgreens](https://danassisi.com/an-everyday-miracle-on-walgreens/) - It's 8:15 am of an otherwise unremarkable Wednesday and I am in sitting in a flimsy chair in the unsuspecting parking lot of a Walgreens. Trucks zoom by the busy intersection that seems to cradle the corner of the parking lot, and the pop-up tent above my head sways in the wind, leading me to
