For every rule and every belief you instill in your pupil — his intelligence and individuality is lessened, damaged. If you teach rules and expect them to be obeyed — then you expect to raise a fool. Don’t teach. Facilitate independent discovery. You can create an environment in which independence and …

Conflict of Self-Images
It’s difficult facing yourself when you’re so busy facing world’s expectations of you. Delusion won’t end for some until they end caring about all those things they were conditioned to care about. Why would anyone delude oneself, if not to reconcile the conflicted images of oneself? This is why letting go …
Identity Is The Ultimate Limitation
Your identity comprises of beliefs. In fact, identity itself is a belief. Belief that you are (something permanent). That some part of you stays unchanged with time. You change – but it’s still the same you. Only, there is no you. Not now not tomorrow. “You” is so ephemeral that it can’t even exist now …
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 …
You’re Not An Exception
You’re not an exception. If you are – prove it ten times over. There are many flimsy reasons to believe oneself to be special but very few real ones. Check ten times before you dismiss a well-proven general rule. The reason to break all the rules is to break them, not your narcissistic whims …
Limitless Delusion

Harbour beliefs long enough without testing them — and you WILL be crazy. The very definition of madness is this extreme divergence from reality. Seeing things? Hearing things? Your …

Gratitude is consciousness. Gratitude is recognition. Recognition of the fact of being alive, the experience of existence, recognition of What-Is. To be conscious is to be …
you didn’t earn it you took it
You didn’t earn it. You took it. Stop implying a sacrifice. It’s a choice. To even imply a sacrifice is to make life harder. Why does there have to be this dichotomy? you earning it / you not earning it you deserving it / you not deserving it you making it / you …
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 …
