If it can be refined further, why stop? If there is a little bit more, why not? Not that now is not its best, since it is always at its best But if it can be perfected some more why not clean it up anyway? To give up means not given up before. To forgive […]

What is the point of learning the ways of meditation, awareness, inner inquiry, forgiveness or any other tools for that matter if I do not practise it? Likewise, what is the point of me preaching it over and over again, if I do not live it? Yet, talking the talk, walking the talk, and living […]

Intimacy during communication can only occur with honesty, authenticity and clarity. What I mean by honesty here is being totally naked in expressing one’s vulnerability; authenticity as in not covering up what is being expressed to make it sound ‘nicer’ or ‘beautiful’ or even ‘kinder’ to the ears of the other; and clarity as in, […]

Each thought like a fleeting bacteria, finding an appropriate owner to manifest itself. So it is in your mind or simply just the mind? If it is just yours, how come I have it too? Doesn’t it seem strange that we never questioned it? Allowing it to come alive through us, believing we are that. […]

The words used need not matter.
