Recently, I’ve taken a different approach to integrating my day-to-day living with meditation, and it’s been refreshingly satisfying. Different in that it’s not traditionally the way most people think about how meditation/prayer is used, but when put into practice, actually makes a ton of sense. Two things that hang people up on meditation: (1) theContinueContinue reading “The Meditation Way of Life”

What’s Gender Got To Do With It?
I’ve got a perspective to share on gender and all the mayhem that’s happening between the two major political parties in the United States of America. This hot-take is likely to get me “cancelled” by extremists on both sides, not that I care. I do not associate with either party and instead have an independentContinueContinue reading “What’s Gender Got To Do With It?”
The Emotionless Robot
I was called an emotionless robot during a recent argument, and it got me thinking. One, for anyone who knows me well, they know I am far from emotionless. In fact, there are several triggers I have that still elevate my emotional state. I experienced one last week from a computer program not working correctlyContinueContinue reading “The Emotionless Robot”
How Did We Get Here?
Well, there’s a loaded question. And one that has been on the mind of humankind for as long as recorded history remembers. First off, where exactly do I mean by here? Here on planet earth? Here in this physical reality? Here in the modern era? The answer is pretty much, D. all of the above.ContinueContinue reading “How Did We Get Here?”
I Can Only Do For Me, What You Must Do For You.
I used to want to change the world. Now, I know I can only change myself. Spiritually speaking, humanity has entered an era quite different from the preceding centuries. And while spirituality and religion run in the same circles, they are not the same thing, despite history’s attempts to confuse the two. In the thousandsContinueContinue reading “I Can Only Do For Me, What You Must Do For You.”
Judge Not. Resist Not. Fear Not.
We’ve all heard the phrase, judge not less you be judged yourself. Or some variation of it. Of course we shouldn’t judge others, but that phrase embodies a deeper meaning, something I feel is ultimately more difficult than not judging other people: Not judging yourself. Over the past year, I’ve been going through a tremendousContinueContinue reading “Judge Not. Resist Not. Fear Not.”
So, You Made A Mistake?
Far too many people are afraid of making mistakes, and far too many more are consumed by mistakes they have made in the past. There are people who get offended by the mere mention that they made a mistake, and worse still, are those people who find pleasure in pointing out the mistakes of others.ContinueContinue reading “So, You Made A Mistake?”
Don’t Mind What Happens
Beginning this summer, I’ve decided to live my life by the mantra: “don’t mind what happens.” And I’m serious about sticking by it. Even if my house burned down? Yes. Even if someone I love dies? Yes. Will I grieve and experience unhappiness if those things happen? Of course I will. But ultimately, I knowContinueContinue reading “Don’t Mind What Happens”
The Root of Evil: Human Unconsciousness
Why are some people so obsessed with demonizing others online? It can hurt, to watch friends and family publicly call each other out and slander one another. And all to build a narrative that favors themself over the other person. But, we see strangers do this to each other too. Comment battles and arguments areContinueContinue reading “The Root of Evil: Human Unconsciousness”
The Perfect Partner For You
I have a theory about romantic partners that goes something like this… If you wouldn’t argue that your partner is better than all the other partners out there, you haven’t found the right person yet. Quick sidebar: I’m not saying you live in the delusion that your partner is flawless or the best person inContinueContinue reading “The Perfect Partner For You”
