We Are All Living In An Hypnotic State “Slowly, slowly, catchee monkey”. Slowly, slowly, we lose our sense of reality, and give up our confidence and carefreeness. We  stare at a screen – “Look into my eyes … interact with … Continue reading →

Politics Politics is the control of human resources. “Never give a sucker an even chance.” – P.T. Barnum Politics is a game of sides, each side creating problems for the opposition to blame them – or for them to blame … Continue reading →

Do We Use Spirituality To Escape Life? Spirituality is not about hiding away from desires and adversities. Spirituality is living life to the full – making life fruitful. When we face the music, we are facing the consequences of our … Continue reading →

This Is Absolutely The Right Time This is absolutely the right time. We all go through a process of worry and wondering, and come to a certain point of dissatisfaction. This moment is important, and time to move on. We … Continue reading →

The Dharma Is Beyond Our Expectations and our wildest dreams. The Dharma is blown out of proportion into something spectacular … and unattainable. That keeps us in a state of poverty. We hear fantastic stories from the past, but none … Continue reading →

Accepting Others’ Limitations Is Love Accepting others’ limitations is love. Seeing others’ limitations is compassion. Feeling others’ limitations is empathy.
