I thought this I thought that because I assumed I concluded. I need to be sure else I cannot function so I first observe I collect evidence and then I conclude an I-dea born and act on it. That becomes “I” hard, immovable stapled to the ground the post erected. Until… Wisdom visits. In awareness. […]

Losing Idols
Posted in Going Inwards, Ideas on Mar 23rd, 2011
When J says to lose idols, he did not mean to stop having or cease to have for that is beyond control; but to realize that idols are not what fulfils and is not what you truly want. What he meant was to lose the middleman, and to start here with yourself – acknowledging what […]
You Bring In What You Allow
Posted in Excerpts from Books, Going Inwards on Mar 22nd, 2011
None of you are victims of someone else’s actions toward you. You bring into your life what you allow to come in. If you say “no” to what you don’t want, you bring in what you do want. It is that simple. The only factor that makes all this complicated is that you don’t always […]
More to Unravel
Posted in Attitudes, Going Inwards, Ideas on Mar 21st, 2011
In each person or situation that I come across with, there is a little piece of me in each that warrants the meet – whether a quality that I admire, or detest, or perhaps even one that I am already at peace with, it is there, unless I am totally oblivious of it. And they […]
The Husband Leaves
Posted in Going Inwards, Poems on Mar 17th, 2011
The husband leaves the door, together with her dreams; all of which she thought was hers, leaves together with him. A subtle clinging, she notices – the fear of losing the beloved; as he potentially walks with another; it might not be her at the finale. Yet when she saw the light, that surrounds him, […]
Rising Up from Disbelieve
Posted in Being the Master, Going Inwards on Mar 4th, 2011
Why are you constantly doubting yourself of where you are? Do you not see your own greatness, in the things you did, already do and will eventually do? What is there outside to seek when all that you have ever wished for is within you, capable to be given and received by yourself to yourself? […]
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 […]
Tanjung Rambutan, anyone?
Posted in Going Inwards, Ideas on Feb 6th, 2011
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 […]
Approval from the Form or Formless
Posted in Attitudes, Going Inwards on Feb 5th, 2011
Seeking approval can be like an addiction. When we can’t get it from someone, we move on to the next and to the next and to the next. A wise teacher will know when to drop you – high and dry, and that period is much like experiencing a withdrawal symptom – lost and jittery; […]
The Master, or the Servant
Posted in Attitudes, Going Inwards on Dec 1st, 2010
The other day, a new friend commented that there will come to a point in time where we will have to stop relying on this common teacher we have and learn to control our own minds, to experience what we want to experience – to be the rightful Master of it, instead of the other […]
