Do we really reap what we sow? What kind of destiny awaits if we count on Karma? In Mark Herringshaw’s, The Karma of Jesus, he explains Jesus’ supernatural role in breaking the ancient idea of the cycle of Karma-reaping what we sow.

I used to view Christianity as oppressive, prejudice and intolerant toward all other belief systems. When I became a Christian I continued to struggle with the exlusivity Christianity claimed. I could easily admit I was a sinner. I strongly believed in God as the creator and power of the universe. I even believed Christ was God [...]

Back in the 90’s there used to be psychedelic kaleidoscope-type posters at mall kiosks that contained hidden optical illusion pictures. They were called Magic Eye posters I think.
