LIFE IS COMMUNICATION
Life Is Communication Communication with others and our environment is what life is about. We share information about what we have in common. This depends on what we see as having value in life. Most people seem to prefer casual conversations … Continue reading
MEANINGFUL COMMUNICATION IS RARE
Meaningful Communication Is Rare If we cannot communicate meaningfully, then evil has greater power. Evil is the opinions of ego, rather than empirical understanding of reality. Meaningful discussion is rare these days. Ever been to a pantomime? We live in … Continue reading

RELIGION V SPIRITUALITY
Religion V Spirituality Religion is the form, while spirituality is the means. Although religions attempt to be spiritual, they cannot stop being hierarchical organisations where people have titles, with different ranks or positions depending on how important they are to … Continue reading

Mind Training = Mind Control We train the mind through meditation so as not to be distracted at every moment, and be able to control our self and our behaviour. If we cannot do this, our mind is being controlled … Continue reading

CONSUMERS OF CONFUSION

TALKING TO OTHERS CAN BE CHALLENGING…
Talking To Others Can Be Challenging… …stressful, difficult, taxing, demanding, tough, hard, heavy, pressured, testing, frustrating, fraught, traumatic, arduous, gruelling, tiring, fatiguing, exhausting, hellish… “What world are they living in?!” And therein lies the answer to “What world are they living in?” It’s their personal world, of course, and because of that, there aren’t … Continue reading
