All Action is Self-Expression
All action is self-expression. Lack of awareness creates the perceived separation between the action and the actor. This leads to nothing but confusion.

There’s a Reason We’re Drinking and Medicating Instead of Living
There’s a reason we’re drinking and medicating instead of LIVING. In a traumatised society everything is stigmatised. In a traumatised society everything is stigmatised.

If your motivation is accumulation — then it’s greed. And the consequences are the same. You are stuck in the chase. Stuck in the time – which becomes the means …
“Savour it but don’t chase it” The only words needed to grasp the Middle Way. Chase something and it escapes you. Pleasure numbs you and glory betrays you. Renounce something and you renounce life.
