One of the greatest songs ever recorded is this 1969 cover of "God Bless the Child" originally sung by the great jazz singer Billie Holiday. All these years later, this song is still magical.

NDE: Man Dies; Taught 10 Things You MUST do to Get Into Heaven

The path to salvation from a person who met Jesus in a near-death experience.

"Vincent Tolman had a Near-Death Experience (NDE) after taking a new weight loss supplement. He was dead for over 45 minutes and put into a body bag. He was taught 10 things you must know to get into Heaven and he was shown the future, which is amazing for some of us. A Near-Death Experience (NDE) occurs when someone dies, is revived, and knows there is life after death. For Vincent, his Near-Death Experience (NDE) was a life-altering experience that changed him forever."

PHILOSOPHY: Why are so Many People Neurotic? - Carl Jung as Therapist

As usual, a wonderful video from the Academy of Ideas channel, on the epidemic of neuroses that we are seeing here in the modern day.

"A neurosis is a psychological disorder defined by persistent and deep levels of anxiety and an overall fear of life. In addition to these cardinal symptoms, a neurotic illness may also include depression, guilt, phobias, obsessions and compulsions, excessive worry and rumination, insomnia, irritability, or anger. Carl Jung suggested that the neurotic’s fear of life was a result of “a disturbed or diminished process of adaptation” (Collected Works Volume 18) and “a morbid development of the whole of a personality” (Collected Works Volume 10). A neurotic, in other words, is an individual who fails to adapt to the demands of life, whose personality is stunted as a result, and whose existence, therefore, becomes a continual struggle with little, to no reprieve."
