Life and everything
Quite some time ago I bumped into a young man at an art exhibition. We talked for a few minutes and he told me I should look at Zenhabits which has some wonderful podcasts, and Minimalist These two websites really resonated with me and set me on my right path for the future. I had some... Continue Reading →
Some of the people you thought were friends were actually acquaintances. They centred their friendship with you around an activity (eg. drinking alcohol) and not around you. Nobody "needs" friends. Of course they are nice to have but one does not need them. If one does need them then it is an attachment which is... Continue Reading →
as you would have them do unto you. Or so the saying goes. But do you realise the reason is not just because you want others to reciprocate your good actions, but actually because we are all one which means that the others are also you and that what you do unto them you do... Continue Reading →
A caveman would probably think it a miracle that airplanes can fly in the sky. I am hopefully not a caveman and I see a miracle in the way that the sunbeams shine through that gap in the clouds (see photo above). It is not our place to perform miracles, even if we could.

There is a school of thought (A Course in Miracles) that teaches that what we believe to be real is in fact an illusion.

This, of course, leads very quickly... Continue Reading →
In physics, vibration refers to a rhythmical motion. It might be mechanical or it might be energy, such as a wave like light. Different frequencies of vibration in light result in different colours (hence the photo above). In spiritual terms, we like to give the labels of "high Vibration" or "low vibration" to activities, people,... Continue Reading →
You see the crucifix shadow on the field? It isn't real. Neither is the scarecrow that caused it. In fact nothing is real. Everything that you see around you is an illusion. In fact you created it. Because you are God. And God is you. Enough for now. To be continued...
This is a Tibetan Prayer Wheel with a difference. It is solar powered. The prayer is written on a piece of paper inside and some people believe that through rotation, the prayer is "sent to Heaven, or wherever", in the same was as prayer flags that flap in the wind (see below). But can this... Continue Reading →
"Attachment is a cause of suffering". Every Buddhist learns this and it applies to everyone else aswell. Being able to let go is a powerful ability that can help us to ease stress and anxiety. "Never mind" comes to mind in a few languages. It doesn't mean that we are weak and incapable and have... Continue Reading →
