Yesterday my little one dragged me out of the house to play bubbles with her. As the bubbles were formed from our blowing action through the hole of which the bubbles were to be created, she invited me to use my nose to pop the bubble! I asked myself why I would do that, for […]

Setting a Limit to sit with Emotions – How Long?
Posted in Attitudes, Going Inwards on Oct 12th, 2010
Following an experience as cited in my earlier entry Full Frontier, I begun to see that there is indeed no need of a storyline for any feelings to arise but to stay with it. Any storyline that accompanies the feeling usually just intensifies the feelings resulting in either grasping or running away from it. In […]
Life is just “.”, as in a dot. There is no “,” “/” “?” “=” “+” “-“ “( )” “;” “:” or even “&”. Sometimes, it can come as a “!”, as in a surprise, or an experience of awe or being marveled; but really, it is just “.”. This “.” begins and ends, on […]
Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself
Posted in Excerpts from Books on Aug 6th, 2010
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don’t have to like it – it’s just easier if you do. If you have a problem, it can only be because of your unquestioned thinking. How do you react when […]
Distinct Routes towards the Same Goal
Posted in Attitudes on Jun 30th, 2010
It doesn’t matter how different we all seem to be in how we look, or what we do, or in the approaches we undertake, as our Source, of where we come from is the same – the Origin. Because of the evolution of the mind, there need be a variety of methods/approaches, all serving towards […]

Comparison
Posted in Ideas on May 24th, 2010
Can we ever, ever choose the pace of our growth? I remember comparing myself with those around me some time ago, never fully appreciating the space that I’ve arrived at. When I perceive that I am not any better or wiser than another, then I begin to beat myself up, ‘how could I not see […]
In Love with Symbols? You must be Joking!
Posted in Ideas on May 20th, 2010
If we have truly tasted even a hint of self love, it is unlikely that we would allow ourselves to be reliant on love from another. I am not saying in the context where we stop others from loving us, or stop loving others; because that is in fact quite impossible and beyond our control. […]
Illuminations to Road of Nowhere by Paul Ferrini
Posted in Excerpts from Books on May 5th, 2010
“What you desire and think about all the time are seeds that you sow. And what you sow, you reap. Where you put your energy is where your life goes. Or, as the Master said, “where your heart is, there will your treasure also be.” ” “The creations of the ego are transitory by nature. […]
