Through the Editor's Eyes
Are We Fake News?

Catherine Groves
Despite its title — "Are We Fake News?" — the theme of this "Through the Editor's Eyes" has little to do with politics. Instead, it zeroes in on conditioned self-images. Catherine Groves hopes to "bring to light the enculturation we all share, to crack open the door so to speak, so we might glimpse the influences that make us other to ourselves than we really are."

On the Limitations of Belief Systems
A Meditation on Gödel

Robert Arias
First published in the October-December 2002 issue of Christian*New Age Quarterly, "On the Limitations of Belief Systems: A Meditation on Gödel" asks what if we were able to prove that no formal system is complete in and of itself? Kurt Gödel's famous incompleteness theorem mathematically proves that while a truth can be known from a vantage point outside a formal system, paradoxes arise when attempting to prove a system's assumptions from within the system itself. What impact does this have upon religious belief systems, which are best defined as formal systems? Robert Arias explores this question with surprising conclusions.
