On Hope & Fear

We have a major misconception about fear. We believe we are afraid of something as an outcome but actually this is not true. We are afraid of the possibility of an unwanted outcome and the cause of fear that we experience is about the uncertainty of the possible outcome, never the outcome itself. Once for […]

On Senses

We may believe that our 5 senses are the “gates” through which we receive information of our environment. This is not actually so. Senses are not objective about what they see, hear, touch, smell and taste because even the respective organs which supposedly govern those senses are biased. There is such a great extent of […]

On Desire vs Enjoyment

Desire relates to the pursuit of enjoyment. Whether this enjoyment is actually obtained or not and at what price is another matter altogether. Enjoyment on the other hand is the ability to be here and now and feel  the warmth of the bliss and feel lucky and appreciative of that gift. There is no desire […]

On Changes in History

Winston Churchill in 1940 had a few days to decide the reaction of Britain to the German aggression in Europe. Till that point the most likely outcome was that that Britain would strike a compromise deal with Germany and avoid entering the war. That was what everyone expected within Britain and in Germany and everywhere […]

Doing the least yet accomplish the most

Perhaps the upmost honesty is listen to your body as it has all the answers on where the cosmic energy does not flow. Usually is not even necessary to know or discover why, there is no reason to psychoanalyze it. Is enough to acknowledge and reprogram the pathways without the blockages. How to do that? […]

On Inner & Outer Light – what we really see

Our eyes don’t really see anything out there. There is nothing out there to be seen. All the images we see are generated inside our mind and because they have all been programmed with collective mind software, we view/ experience/interpret similarly the signals sent by the brain to the eyes and back. But when either […]

On Quantum physics

Every moment we arrive in a here and now and we either confirm a previous choice or make a new one for whatever reason, either confirming our existing course: due to habit, or necessity to see the result of a previous plan, or fear, inertia etc or changing course : due to strong pain, intense […]

On Synchronicity

If we are in a state of alerted presence and peace, we are able to recognize what is occuring or presenting itself in every moment and then we act accordingly almost instantly, effortlessly with a kind of déjà-vu recognition of that event that is unfolding. That sense of knowing stimulates both peace and action and […]

On Problems & Solutions

There is no question without an answer. But why? Could it be that we could not be asking a question if we did not know the answer ? We keep believing that we know the question/problem but we don’t know the answer/solution, so we have to spend time to look for that answer/solution … But […]

On Expectations & Judgment

It is quite significant to examine the expectations we have about the choices we make. The 2 usual mistakes are the miscalculations we make about a) the rewards and b) the side effects. We are usually wrong about what we ll receive and what is gonna cost us in exchange. Either we only focus on […]
