The husband has died for quite some time now, though not acknowledged until much, much later. Because if the husband is still alive, then the wife can exist to depend on the husband for love and security of all sorts. Today, only did I realise, the two teachers had died too. Probably, the teachers had […]

The Best Entertainment
Posted in Going Inwards, Ideas on Feb 17th, 2011
The other day, a loved one made a statement that since I practiced mindfulness, she was guessing that there isn’t much drama in my life. Well, the answer is a yes and a no. Although there seems to be no drama happening which involves others, there are non-stop dramas unfolding in the mind. The thing […]
Either Witnessing, or You are It
Posted in Being the Master, Ideas on Feb 12th, 2011
We don’t really get what great masters say, because we are unaware that we are already aware. When a teacher says, “step back” and you step back, and you say, “I see it”, you are witnessing it; when you step back, and say, “I am feeling sad”, you are it. You and the mind are […]
Finding Home

The mind, as how a kindred spirit puts it is like a frog’s tongue, spitting out of the month continuously, to stick on any bug; or thing, in the mind’s case; to put it in its mouth. It is constantly contacting something, as in anything that is outside of itself in search for something. Not […]

Two years ago, a friend and I were facilitating this free movie session where the lead role was put into an asylum where he actually led some patients back to sanity. After that movie, my friend wrote on the white board, ‘Insanity is just a shift of perception’. At that point of my maturity, of […]
Today a few beloved friends came to visit. It is the first time since a long time I have had that many visitors visiting and it was indeed a pleasant surprise. While all my friends were seated in the hall, with my little one hogging the television whilst having her lunch, my partner was in […]
Illusionary Relationships

Is there a difference between him going off to play golf or him going off for a date with another woman? Is it any of my business at all when what he does is simply bringing himself to a state of joy, or growth in his own journey? What part can I play except to […]
The other day, a beloved expressed something to me spontaneously. It was something that was so sweet and beautiful to the ears that each time I am being brought back to the memory of that moment, it brings a smile to my face. Yet, it is not an acknowledgement of what I think of myself […]
Gardening
Posted in Attitudes, Going Inwards, Ideas on Feb 2nd, 2011
Gardening is very much like one’s spiritual journey. Today, I was blessed with the mood to look consciously at my garden and the plants that surround it. Automatically, I noticed some leaves which needed a trim, some stems that needed to be cut off and some leaves that needed to be swept. Because the weather […]
A song came into my awareness today. I think I must have heard it quite many times as this song has been in my iPhone for quite some time yet it did not catch my attention until today. It was a love song with meanings of a man, who sang of his letting go of […]
