Welcome to The Golden Thread of Life, a multi-disciplinary resource on history, spirituality, health, and the arts
Life is what it is by design: a connected whole, a fine tapestry in which every element is related to its surroundings and what came before. A golden thread weaves through life at every level, bringing to light patterns of deeper meaning that hint at universal principles and lasting truths. This thread connects today with ancient times, unites diverse religions in a common love of God, and runs through our own lives like a guide line to show us the way forward.

Photographs and designs to lift the spirit:
Healthy choices: what we’re willing to give up, add in, learn, and do. It’s about focus, faith, discipline, and self-love.
Individuals free to think, speak, and act in harmony with their conscience create an enlightened society.
Excellence is a choice. When we set our sights high and do our best, culture and business flourish.
The Founders’ vision:
A new nation built on individual liberty, freedom of religion, and Enlightenment ideals.
Currents flow beneath the surface of history and shape lives and events.
Mystical states—personal experiences of levels of being beyond ordinary perception—are still available to us today.
Life is the art of connecting the dots. Each day brings new opportunities to grow.
The arts have much in common with the mystical state: both originate in inspiration.
Laughter really is the best medicine—it heals the heart, puts things into perspective, and brings people closer.
