We are sad to announce the passing of our father, James Willis, Sr., who died at home in South Carolina, on Friday afternoon, June 7th.

Robert Kalil, host of Typical Skeptic, once said that Jim "mastered the esoteric and spiritual principles and lived the life." He has been called an inspiration by many trying to find their own path to a greater and broader grasp and perception of their own sense of spirituality.

“Whether you consider your worldview to be sacred or secular, religious or humanist; whether you eagerly await the newest scientific discovery or spend your days dreading the next disclosure that might undermine your faith, you share something with every other human being on earth. You are alive. Vibrantly alive. Mysteriously alive. You live and breathe and swim in an ocean of spirituality.”
Jim Willis

“For the present, as far as we know, gravity effectually exists only within our Cosmos. But conceptually it is independent of material existence and therefore eternal. Now substitute words such as “love,” “compassion,” “empathy,” “trust,” or “morality” for the word “gravity.” All those words, just like gravity, describe things that are real enough to powerfully affect our lives even though they cannot be dissected and observed under a microscope. They, too, are eternal.”
Jim Willis

“Purpose gives us a reason to get up in the morning and go to work. It sustains us through life's valleys of depression and discouragement. Purpose allows us to continue on in the midst of adversity and setback. It is more than a song. It is a symphony whose themes stitch together both the melodies and harmonies of our lives.”
Jim Willis

“The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.”

“To hear the song of Purpose might be our ultimate existential goal. It underlies everything we are and do, and its music forms the soundtrack of our life on earth.”
