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 [...]

Everything Is Just Memories

25 November 2010

Everything we are, meaning our reactions to situations, thoughts and emotions, is all based on our memories. Many of our pains and pleasures are felt when we think about, or associate the current moment, to an event that happened in the past, thus a memory. As soon as you realize something has or is happening, [...]

Changing Words To Change Events Does Not Work

4 November 2010

The past years have taken a trend in the concept that by changing the words, we can actually change the situation. This is clearly impossible, but yet it does work. I would like to explore how the impossible works. If there is a problem, no matter what you call it, or even if you ignore [...]

I Create, Devils or Angels

In the search for knowledge especially spiritual knowledge, everyone wants the good stuff, high quality, the real meat of knowledge, but so few are willing to pay for it, and they do not understand how to pay.

How to Conquer Negative Energy Being Projected Towards You

13 June 2010

The subject of this article is about reacting to negative emotions. If you are affected by other peoples actions, that indicates that you care about what they think of you, you are not free.

The Deadly Ego, Thinking You Understand When You Do Not.

31 May 2010

There is a great danger in the whole idea that thoughts are things and we create what we think. This danger is to people who do not fully understand what that principle means, how it works, and how it can be confused with guidance and intuition. That danger lies in the ego which thinks it [...]

Know the Meeting Point to Understand All Problems

27 January 2010

As long as there is more than one thing involved in any situation, and there always is, they have a point at which they meet. This meeting point is often overlooked or simply not recognized that it exists, and so problems are difficult to solve and conflicts grow because the true cause is not known. [...]

How to be Committed and Attached While Detached and Free at the Same Time

2 December 2009

If the soul, your essence, is the smallest little dot of your being and is covered by layers of ego personality and there are layers for each experience of your life, how can you ever find it? Each layer is another illusion.  Illusions are how we have interpreted situations and developed certain characteristics and because [...]

Everything has a prerequisite. If you want to bake a cake, you need a hot oven aside from all the ingredients. To have a hot oven, you need electricity or gas to heat the oven. To have that, you need the delivery system to bring the power to the house. Before that you need to [...]

The Need For Mass Stimulation

6 July 2009

People feed on exhilaration due to chemical reactions taking place within the body that are produced by the body in certain situations automatically on its own. Sometimes these exhilarating feelings we get are not frequent enough to satisfy the body’s need for this euphoric feeling and so people turn to drugs to get that boost [...]
