What Are You Acting Out (Of/On)?

Maturity and intelligence are marked by acting upon logic, wisdom, conscience, and higher human capabilities (which everyone can develop and strengthen with practice). Very little, if any, good comes from actions based on heated and fleeting emotions and/or uncontrolled greed/lust/craving, etc. Act out of Love, and if you are not ready to do that yet,…

Being In The World, But Not Of It

Like most things within this malleable and ever-changing plane of Maya, goodness cannot (and will not) grow in places where the conditions have not been met to enable it to take root and to thrive (and this occurs on multiple levels since goodness can exist while being ignored, oppressed, and/or dismissed). Our societies, it appears…

Choose Your Thinking, Your Lifestyle, Your Personal Fate

Neither one doughnut nor one pushup will change your life in any meaningful nor significant way (unless you have a food allergy of some kind, get poisoned or severely injured, or somehow get magically inspired by a given behavior for some reason, etc.).

Keep Your Focus On The Truth & On Your Progress Grounded In The Light Of Your Goodness & Your Purity

Never defile the sanctity of your mind. This is worst for your spiritual progress than encountering even the most grotesque evils that you can imagine (or see) existing in the world. It is true that many people around you may be filled with ignorance, that many may lack good critical thinking or effective decision-making skills,…

Turning Knowledge Into Skillfully Applied And Beneficial Power

Knowledge is complete onto itself. It marks something that simply is (and is often multifaceted). Intelligence is measured by how well you are able to gain, process, and use/apply any given bit of knowledge effectively to a given situation/context and/or whether you are able to apply knowledge at all. Knowing that a stove is hot…

The Only Benefit Of Living In A Sick Society

According to some ancient commentaries, Yoga is best practiced in nations where everyone has access to peace, prosperity, and freedom…societies where all people are guaranteed the means to thrive and to coexist with fellow well-adjusted and conscientious citizens, under ethical and competent leaders, so that they can concentrate on noble endeavors. When I read this…

Apply Awareness

The healer, problem solver, inspirer, deliverer, lover, caretaker, and everything else that you need are within you, where all things are possible. Know/be your Self; that is all you need.
