Understanding your Emotional Suffering

We Must Learn to Think for Ourselves!

From Nastiness to Forgiveness to Gratitude to Love
I feel true spiritual living is exemplified when the spiritual person is able to help the self-tortured, ego-captured person escape their enslavement to their ego.
From Alienation to Love
I look at this symbol of pure wisdom and marvel at how the whole world and the way it works is encapsulated in this single, iconic symbol. It's truly amazing! It teaches us how to understand life…
Communism or Love? Take Your Pick
At the end of the day, we choose communism or we choose love. Ideology takes you to the first, nature to the second. So, choose to live in a tiny ideological box moulded by the education and media controllers, or choose to live in the WHOLE UNIVERSE, as was intended for us human beings…
My Introduction to Natural Healing: Wow!
On the 31st of October, at 5pm, I turned up at the Ayurveda Centre for my appointment. Revelations galore were about to unleash themselves upon me. First thing I noticed was a lovely tropical garden, and upon entering the reception area I sensed a serene vibration to the place.
Transforming the Education System is Humankind’s #1 Urgent Task

Self-Inquiry is THE Solution to all our Troubles
'They' tell us we are only one person, too small to make any difference to the world. I say, "This is absurd, of course one person can make a difference, how on earth can HALF a person change the world?".
Totalitarian Humans Come From Totalitarian Schooling
Did you know that the way our school systems are set up, the 'schooling' they foist upon all of us antagonises our nature? They train us to be totalitarian and authoritarian. Literally.
Health and Wellness? Who Wants That!
The inner voice within us hates the whole idea of wellness, and tells us to stay well clear of such fun-destroying nonsense. I know, it was in me once, and I've seen it in so many other people. Let me tell you my tale...
I am Human, I Can…
I can... see with my eyes, hear with my ears, smell with my nose, feel with my hands, taste with my tongue, dance with my feet, sing with my voice, create with my hands… but…
