A teacher’s role is to share his knowledge and realisations to his student as a means to uplift the willing student and those who come to him to grow, so to welcome them into the journey. A teacher once expressed that in the spiritual journey, there is no hierarchy and is never a linear progress. […]

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 […]
Taking that Step
Posted in Attitudes on Nov 1st, 2010
Some months back, I was involved in a rushed project which had no money in it. Well, actually whatever that I do these days has not much financial rewards in it except that it fulfils my soul and brings me much, much joy. When my partner observed how busy and ‘stressed’ I was, he asked […]
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 […]
Living for Me Only

Some time back, a friend asked me if she was living her life for herself, or for others. And having a cuppa with her yesterday, she asked me that question again and answered her own question: that it was both. She explained that since her parents gave her life, she is obliged to live her […]
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 […]
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 […]
Full Frontier
Posted in Going Inwards, Ideas on Oct 10th, 2010
Last night, was a period of darkness for me after a light hearted meal with loved ones. There was much going on in the mind that it did not stop. I allowed it to run, to see how far it’d go. And soon, I was blessed with ancient feelings of betrayal and abandonment; totally imaginary, […]
