Life NOT as a Game
Life may be a game to some but to make a game out of it is to devalue it. The more seriously you take yourself and your story and the game you play in this world — the more does the moment lose it’s magic. You can’t take the world seriously and retain …
The Hardest Part About Changing
If you don’t know what’s possible in the real world — how can you know what’s possible in the realm of your psyche? You can’t even conceive the limits of the real world. Yet you believe all your made-up ideas about yourself: what you need, what you want, what you are. You decide you …
Harmony Instead Of Motivation
Perhaps 100 years from now all the hustle videos and motivation crap will be replaced with harmony videos. Hustle neither brings the happiness at the end of the road nor does it even accelerate the “growth”. You’d be shocked how much more productive is the FREE one. And how much happier. I’m saying this because …
Agree With No One
To walk alone is to agree with no one. Even when you agree with someone. Wise can never truly agree with someone. For someone else’s truth can never be his own. Complete rebellion is pure aggression – without ANY aggression. The TRUTH is the single most contentious issue in the world. In …

Dichotomy of “Following One’s Passions”
Following/ Not-Following one’s passions must be the most inimical false dichotomy there is. To follow one’s passion indiscriminately is to unawarely set oneself for a lifetime of failures and mediocrity — statistically unlikely ending with a miraculous success. To NOT follow one’s passion at all is to live a life of defeat, meaninglessness and …
Effort To NOT Be Inauthentic
Outside inhibitions stifle inner expression. Authenticity may require reconstructing one’s entire method of communicating with the world. This can be arduous. Don’t confuse arduous with inauthentic. You’re not arduously trying to impress somebody. You’re arduously trying to STOP trying to impress somebody. Trying to stop behaving in a preordained way. One is so …
Warning About Virtual Reality
Some time from now we will have rehabilitation centres focused on RE-WIRING the utterly NUMBED brain and healing the FRIED synapses — from the years of electronic overindulgence. I will continue to rant about this because virtual reality is 100% a drug. It’s addictive, extremely pleasurable, it’s CHEAP, it’s an EASY escape— and it’s …
