Perhaps you’ve heard the expression “karma comes around”. Karma is a concept present in various eastern religions . Supposedly good deeds contribute to “good karma”, whereas bad deeds lead to “bad karma” and suffering. Such belief certainly provides the sweetest consolation in the face of mistreatment or ingratitude! We basically get rewarded for our noble …

Fear; Away from Fear; Beyond Fear
I thought there were 3 standards of fear. 3 permutations. One is the pure presence of the FEAR ITSELF. It’s the fear unfiltered, fear present and real. It’s the fear which just is, and we have not addressed it or treated it in any way… we haven’t labeled it, we haven’t repressed it, we …
You Don’t Act Because You Are Confident – You Are Confident Because You Act
We love confidence. We love feelings. We love concepts. Concepts about our own selves. Feelings about our own selves. Confidence is such an empowering feeling! Confidence is such an empowering mindset! We love confidence. What is confidence? It is this certainty about things, isn’t it? We love certainty. Certainty gives us security. And we …
Anytime I Draw A Conclusion I Am Already Wrong
What are conclusions? Are conclusions not approximations? Are conclusions not simplifications? Conclusions are not the truth, obviously. Merely… it’s interpretation. An approximation, a simplification. We love conclusions. So much that we substitute them for the truth. (and love is blind, as they say) The truth doesn’t need your conclusions. It has nothing …
You Can’t Even Conceive The Future
We love to DREAM about our brightest future! Tomorrow everything will be different! We love our dreams like we love ideals – we find tremendous security in theirs illusions. You can not experience your dreams, you can not actually feel them… you only feel the smug satisfaction of being you, undeniably, you, with your little …
Mind Finds Security In Discipline
Mind is so terrified of dying…. Death is the annihilation of the mind. Mind does not want it’s annihilation. Mind wants to perpetuate itself. All being seems to be terrified of ceasing to exist, until it transcends it’s own being, until it transcends it’s illusionary separation from the entirety of being. Mind is utterly terrified …
The Meaning Of Life
We all desperately want to believe there is more to this life then our everyday struggles. We all cherish our little inner voice, our little narrative, for it makes us feel significant, it literally makes “US” real, this entire process of the self. And yet, what is this voice? How real is that noise of …
It’s Far Easier Evaluating Those Behind Us Down The Road, Then It Is Those Before Us
Progressing in a particular field, one finds himself in a relation with other participants of the game. Some are behind us. Some are before us. Such hierarchy concerns many fields of human endeavours. Whenever competence is discernible and various players can be differentiated from the others – a natural hierarchy results. One curious observation …
Freedom in Adversity
There’s a certain opportunity in adversity. I am not saying it as a consolation, though. There is always an opportunity for self-inquiry, in every stage of our life, and there’s a certain opportunity in adversity – it’s the opportunity of GRASPING FREEDOM. Our lives go in certain patterns and there are some turns and …
Consciousness Is The Real Discipline
Ambitious that we are, men, we find all ways to ABUSE ourselves, all in order to get bigger, more powerful, more something. Call it discipline. Discipline is action or inaction that is regulated to be in accordance (or to achieve accord) with a system of governance. (Wikipedia) Sounds exactly like something you would …
