As I begin to become more present to people around me, I observe how past experiences dictate certain patterns in a person (myself included) and how that pattern makes them relate to themselves and to the world. Whilst this pattern only exists in one person, it can somehow affect the people around him and hence […]

Love, as an Experience
Posted in Attitudes on Nov 4th, 2010
The delusional state of a lover and a beloved is that, the lover who loves, loves while the beloved, loved. Although we technically understand that one who loves is one who is beloved, but this pattern is seldom experienced when one is only focused on loving and forgets to be loved, and the other focused […]
The mind is the same anywhere, everywhere. No matter how we try to twist it, twig it, it is the same with everyone. But, how each individual addresses the mind creates his or her reality or rather, relationship with the mind. And it boils down to ideas, perceptions and being able to relate to the […]
Much more to Integrity
Posted in Attitudes on Nov 3rd, 2010
Integrity is to mean the ability to stand true to our own space and be truthful to ourselves, without having to seek approval from others. It takes much courage and strength to take the first step the first time, and thereafter there is bound to be a second time and a third and a forth […]
The Happy Dream
Posted in Excerpts from Books on Oct 23rd, 2010
Prepare you now for the undoing of what never was. If you already understood the difference between truth and illusion, the Atonement would have no meaning. The holy instant, the holy relationship, the Holy Spirit’s teaching, and all the means by which salvation is accomplished, would have no purpose. For they are all but aspects […]
Compassion for Self
Posted in Attitudes on Oct 22nd, 2010
So often we have tasted the compassion of others, and our ‘so-called’ compassion for others. Yet, the most important self to be compassionate with, we tend to forget and again and again judge and hate. We cannot come to terms with the most important self, because of the strong belief that ‘I cannot be wrong’ […]
Supporting or Spoiling You
Posted in Attitudes on Oct 22nd, 2010
I’ve come across several situations where I’ve stood my ground with a firm ‘no’, and also of those where I’ve not stood my ground and said ‘yes’ when the inner world says ‘no’. Now, I began to ponder when I say a ‘yes’ to you during the times when I actually mean a ‘no’, am […]
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 […]
Impersonally Personal
Posted in Going Inwards, Ideas on Oct 11th, 2010
At a deeper level, if one is able to see that all are but workings of the mind, that we are constantly being pulled by the nose; one has awaken to reality at least for that moment. Everything is mind-related -ideas. It sounds impersonal and yet it can get so personal because we tend to […]
Behind the Façade of an Action
Posted in Going Inwards on Oct 11th, 2010
An action manifested by one can be perceived quite differently by another. For instance, if one offers to be of assistance or support to another, it may come from a space of love and joy unconditionally, that even if the answer to that offer is a ‘no’, no sense of rejection or resentment may be […]
