This article was written some time ago. Posting this in remembrance of a journey of an inner conflict whether to address self or the someone out there. *** Am I not seeing things clearly? Am I hanging on to an idea which is now conflicting to what is happening around me? Which is more true? […]
Do I have a Choice?
Posted in Going Inwards on Jul 28th, 2010
Do I have a Choice? Yes and No. I like to think that I have choices – choice of colors, choice of the types of TV I’d like to buy, choice of careers, choice of mental states. But the truth is also this – I don’t have a choice. I only have a choice when […]

The Death of the Ego
Posted in Excerpts from Books on Jul 16th, 2010
Begin to see how much you try to change others to fit your image of how you think they should be. Be aware of how others try to change you. Feel the push and the pull. That is the world of the ego. Ego is the most insecure thing in the universe. That is why […]
Coming Home to Me
