You are here. You are influenced. You get conditioned. You can only be influenced to the extent to which you are empty. (You can only be sensitive to the extent to which you are empty.) When you have became conditioned – you cease being pliable. When you’re full (of knowledge, beliefs, conclusions, thoughts), …

Followers Consumers Leaders Producers
The elevation from weak follower is not to the courageous leader. The elevation from mindless consumer is not to the industrious producer. Leader needs followers. Producer needs consumers. Leader is but another side of the follower coin. Producer is but another side of the consumer coin. I say – dispense the coins altogether. …
Integrity Is Not A Response To Dishonesty
https://twitter.com/gxdarz/status/1048980519562747905 Inspired by this excellent twitter thread by @gxdarz I come up with some further words on INTEGRITY: Your “integrity” is a response to dishonesty. E.g. you called a red apple blue. Now you want to be honest and call it red. But then it turns yellow, and you still keep calling it red. This …
Consolation Only Aggravates The Problem
Consolation only aggravates the problem. It doesn’t relieve it. It escapes it. Consolation is but a distraction. It distracts you from the problem by bringing your attention to something else. In the same time – it is inseparable with the problem. You can only receive it having paid for it with suffering. Thus, in fact, …
SPONTANEITY IS CONSCIOUSNESS
Anything done for a “reason” is already corrupted and it’s bound to produce mediocrity. There is only THE DOING. The choiceless, inevitable, endless ACT OF DOING – the very eternal wheel of the universe. The best reason to do something is a WHIM. Anything more is utter delusion. You are deluding yourself …
Attached to Feeling Good
“Feeling good” can be an attachment too. You attach yourself to it. Now, whenever you’re not feeling good – you are feeling even worse. Can “feeling good” be captured? Can happiness be captured? Can it be encapsulated in a word? Words? By naming your feeling it now becomes an idea. A standard. Now …
Your Toolkit Expands With Your Creativity
Your toolkit expands proportionally to your creativity. The more creative you are — the broader the range of tools are you using. A huge toolbox of tools you have no idea how to use is useless. By idea – I mean a creative idea. You can have all the instruments in the world …
To Do What You Want
to do what you want this could be everything that ever needs to be said about life the deepest words, most misunderstood of all the words, quite certainly. We don’t do what we want. We do what we hate. We don’t do what we want. We do what we think we want. …
Beyond Like and Dislike
What is dislike? Is dislike the opposite of like? Isn’t like and dislike just labels? Isn’t like and dislike a spectrum? You like eating sandwiches but you prefer pizza. You don’t like eating tomatoes but you don’t like starving either. It’s all relative. “Like” and “dislike” serve your description of the reality. …
Gratitude Cures Ambition
Gratitude cures ambition. Why would you cure ambition? Would you not want to achieve something? You precisely don’t want. You want nothing. You neither want nor don’t want success. There is no attachment. No desire. This is the beginning of freedom. I view ambition as this hunger. Why be hungry? Why …
