The Mystical Positivist is dedicated to the application of reason in the pursuit of spiritual practice and development. I look to this format to be challenging and a bit controversial in that the New Age community tends to have an overly romantic picture of the gritty pursuit of spiritual transformation. My thesis is that rationality is in no way the antithesis of deep mystical experience, in fact, I assert that it is a necessary ally – hence the blog name “Mystical Positivist”.

Will Roberts’ Weekly Telegram is a political variety radio show striving to bring disparate and often refreshingly unusual viewpoints that can be respectfully shared and explored.
“All I ever knew I read in the newspaper” is not only a famous Will Rogers quote, but also the honest truth. Will Rogers scoured any and all newsprint he could get his hands on, which made for some incredible viewpoints. Will Roberts has updated this iconic quote to: “All I ever knew I read on the Internet.” With millions of news events being sent to the web, Will is sure to never run out of things to say.
In a world where talk radio has become “talk at you” radio, Will is embarking on a territory that has not been touched in a long time – the world of communication, which is simply people talking to each other.
