Did You Choose To Believe It?

20 December 2011

Invisible Nature; From Valentinian Branch Of Gnostic Teachings

21 November 2011

One must not perform the mystery of the ineffable and invisible power through visible and corruptible things of creation, nor that of the unthinkable and immaterial beings through sensible and corporeal things. Perfect salvation is the cognition itself of the ineffable greatness: for since through “Ignorance” came about “Defect” and “Passion,” the whole system springing [...]

How To Know Which Emotions Are Real

15 November 2011

If you tell someone they are stupid and insult them, different people will react differently. Some will take it personally and feel bad, others will get aggressive and reply in kind.  However, if you give anyone love and positive emotions, everyone will react the same.  There are always exceptions, but three headed twins are rare [...]

Is Humanity Safe To Be Self-Governed

19 October 2011

Lao Tzu wrote in the Tao Te Ching; ‘…To have harmony in the kingdom, keep the people’s belly full and bed warm.’ He was speaking of how to keep the country running peacefully through accepting the reality that if people are in want, they will react violently, even if that is self-defeating. What can we [...]

Call Me A Male Chauvinist

13 October 2011

I was reading an article about Kobe, Japan and came across a very telling report which gives an incite in to the dangerous territory we are going as a species. I do not think this attitude is limited to Kobe or Japan, but rather is global. The point of this article is to ask; are [...]

Groups Create Separation

10 October 2011

The existence or need of any group; political, religious or social such as men’s/women’s groups, implies that there is an opposing group that one must resist. If there is harmony, then there is no need for a group of people to gather and unify in order to resist an opposing force. However, the creation of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Nobodys Perfect

23 May 2011

Everyone accepts that nobody’s perfect and it is impossible for anyone to be perfect. At the same time, almost everyone would like to know and be in unity with God, or whatever term you use for what you perceive as a greater being. The problem is that God is perfect and there is no way [...]

How To Make Life Roll Smoothly In Perfect Control

16 May 2011

For a bike wheel to roll smoothly, all the spokes must be strong and well connected. They connect to the hub. The hub is the central point of the wheel and connects to the axel. As I discovered by my own experience, when one spoke out of the 20 on my bike wheel broke, the [...]

Human Love And Mystical Love

10 May 2011

In this world everything must have its opposite to exist. Therefore, human (temporal) love prevents mystical realization because to have human love means its opposite must exist which is negative emotions. Negative emotions are what prevent pure mystical love. This is why I say that mystical or real love is nothing at all like human [...]

How To Be Present

30 November 2010

Being present and feeling bliss is the moment in which you are not thinking of anything else, hence the concept that we are already enlightened, is because what prevents enlightenment is living in thoughts of past or future, i.e., memories. By being fully present in the very moment, we are no longer in memory and [...]
