Your entire life consists of sensory perceptions, thoughts and emotions. That’s it, that’s your life! This is how you experience life and it essentially makes up your “world”. It becomes you, your identity, and how you view the world and navigate through daily life with all its ups and downs (actually, there is another – and […]

Time can be our worst enemy and the cause of so much suffering. Not clock time, but rather psychological time, where we dwell in the past or project into the future. We are either trying to reconcile a history that we keep reliving over and over again or trying to avoid a bad future that […]

I launched this website in 2012, and here now a decade later I am writing my final blog entry. This decade was quite remarkable for me, starting with immense suffering which ultimately transcended into an amazing spiritual journey, that which I am eternally grateful for now and view it as the greatest gift in my […]

2022 was a mixed bag after the dumpster fire of 2021.

After years of practice and discipline, you may now be brilliant in the kitchen, raising children, working out and/or your career. This is to be […]

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so! ~Shakespeare~ Have a look around, observe how nearly everyone around you is completely lost in thought.
