How To Take Passive Action

6 January 2012

I can tell you your block of finding happiness, but you will not understand. This is normal, and why it is the greatest stumbling block for a seeker of truth. Truth of the Universe and truth of oneself. It is that you do not understand what there is to learn, and yet you think you [...]

Spiritual View Of Passion, Its Safety Or Danger

29 December 2011

From a spiritual point of view, in order to achieve personal growth, you must have a passionate desire for enlightenment that is completely selfless. If your passion has anything to do with you, then certainly you can succeed in your goals, but there will be negative effects from having desires. For the goal to be [...]

Did You Choose To Believe It?

20 December 2011

The question of having a choice is an interesting one about personal power, it is one we choose to believe. If you truly had a choice in your life and actions, would you do the many things you do that are detrimental to your self or others? How many times a month, a week, a [...]

The Law Of Nature Is The Law Of God

3 October 2011

We can speak of God and Spirit and all the religions and teachings attributed to God on how we should live. The problem is that all the religious teachings have to be interpreted and there are so many interpretations that the interpreters themselves argue with each other over the true meaning. This article is meant [...]

The Essence Of The Mind Is Like Air

22 August 2011

This subject is very tricky to understand, it is simple, yet difficult to grasp because it is so simple. For this reason, there will be many discussions about it in different ways for you to have the variety of concepts that one may reach your understanding. Although there will be many lessons on the same [...]

Why Can’t You Have Both

15 August 2011

I was asked a question; “I’m trying to find a way to balance having a relationship and achieve my goal. But I see I’ve failed to realise I cannot have both. Because my goal is also to be balanced my thinking is that I needed to have a relationship in order achieve this.” Why can’t [...]

Don’t Do It

9 August 2011

The greatest successes are people who can see some lesson or benefit in absolutely everything. As an example there is the joke of the man who goes to the doctor, lifts his arm, and says; “My arm hurts when I do this.” The doctor replies; “So don’t do that.” The basis of your spiritual growth [...]

Choosing Your Path

5 August 2011

There are many paths to spiritual and worldly freedom. Every person can choose a path that suits them, and many work equally well. We can choose Zen, Kabbalah or Sufi for example which are very different paths but all lead to the same end. Some paths take a person further and quicker than others in [...]

Where Did We Come From

30 July 2011

This is the question that so many people ask. Some have found comfort in religion and the different versions of God, but I, like many people, find that a bit hard to accept, so I have spent my life, and continue to look further each day, to find an answer. The first clue is that [...]

Suffering, The Cause Of Suffering, And The End Of Suffering

11 July 2011

Buddha said that life is suffering and that the cause of suffering is desire. That is a very clear and obvious truth. If I desire something, that means I do not have it, and if I want or need something that I do not have, that craving for it does imply suffering to some degree. [...]

How To Make A Successful MasterMind Group

3 July 2011

The principle of the Mastermind group is well known by many people and there are many groups that have been formed under the premise of mastermind support groups, but they rarely if ever deliver a successful outcome. I have seen many of these groups and they have one thing in common, they are very short [...]

Finding Like Minds

28 June 2011

This article is a gamble. When you read it, maybe you will identify with what is written, or think I am a fool. I have written this for a purpose and I am willing to take that risk. All I ask is that if the subject interests you, then please read the whole article so [...]

What Makes You Be The Way You Are

20 June 2011

Many people want to find their true essential nature, their soul, but of course, that is a very rare discovery, at least it is if you are honest about it. I have another way of searching for that answer which is a bit simpler and perhaps answers more questions about why we are the way [...]

The Difference Between Reality And Illusion

9 June 2011

The difference of reality and illusion of life is what keeps us present or not present. If you live with reality you will be present, if you deny reality you live in illusion and cannot be present. The reality is; from the instant you are conceived, you are dying and going closer to your death. [...]

Fitting In And Feeling Out Of Place

2 June 2011

One of the many drawbacks to western culture is the lack of involvement and devotion on a deeply personal level to anything or anyone. When I was in Cambodia I spent a few days with a group from Singapore who was there as a charity project bringing cloths and supplies to the poor. There is [...]

How To Love Yourself

30 May 2011

You cannot make yourself love yourself just as you cannot make yourself love another person. Loving yourself is a result, rather than a cause, of a changed personality. When you have rid yourself of qualities that you dislike or are no longer limited by fears and inhibitions, or you just happen to have a a [...]

Are you Evil

3 May 2011

The thoughts of this writing are based on the Hermetica, a body of literature written in late antiquity, but believed to be much older. Perhaps written at the time of Moses. Written originally in Latin and Greek, it is the source of the Gnostic teachings and it appears that Christianity took much from it as [...]

The Different Values Of East And West

26 April 2011

Being a mix of cultures, parents from India and Middle East, while being born in Montreal myself, and having lived in various countries for the past 20 years, I see the world split in two cultures or mentalities, East and West. Today, I am in Cambodia, and have observed the different people, locals in the [...]

You Are Nothing More Than A Dust Bunny

18 April 2011

Zen is an interesting path. It tells us that nothing exists including our self, that we have no essential reality or even a soul. This can be very confusing if left without deeper study to find its meaning. We are basically an accumulation of thoughts and desires. They make up the essential reality of your [...]

Why There Is No Balancing The Material And Spiritual

22 March 2011

Everyone is seeking the way to balance their material life with their spiritual aspirations and practices. I believe there is no way to balance the two because they are not in fact separate. For two things to balance against each other, they must be separate and different, but if there is only one thing, then [...]

Cells of a Being

22 February 2011

Let’s use for the purpose of this article, this definition of God. God is not a particular being, there is nothing religious about God. God simply is a name given to a thing so that we can refer to that thing in conversation for the purposes of increasing our knowledge. God is that thing that [...]
