Without the ability to forgive ourselfs and others we loose almost all chance of ever making real changes in our life's.

To change, you don't need others to behave differently towards you. You need to start thinking in another way and change pattern or you will always end up making the same mistakes as you've regretted doing in the past.

We can't really expect to stop ourselves from repeating a destructive behavior without realizing the source of why we started doing the behavior in the first place. This is where forgiveness must come in.

By forgiving we don't need to condone what's happened, instead it means to acknowledge what is in every aspect so we then...

I first wrote out as an answer to the above question like: "No, it fucking don't". Then good and strong people sniggered a bit and said to me that the words gone true, now what do you ("I") want.. Well, lets start again.

To the question: "Do spirituality come with apperances" the answer is - that only you decide what you are and how you want to be. The only advice is to be your self, and don't try to be something your not. But if you feel like acting like a fool, first make sure your humor is not out of place.

If there are people around you in meditation or in prayer. Honor their practice by being quiet.

It's a thing of the ego. If you feel the need to be in...

Shoot yourself in the footI still find myself fighting the dream in which I also struggle so hard to wake up from. This way I engage more with the dream while I simultaneously is trying to escape from it. This is stupid isn't it?

No one can run and fight at the same time. That way you would effectively just be standing still. And isn't this just what we often find ourself doing? Pointlessly struggling while we try to escape and just end up experiencing more of the feeling that we are somehow drowning.

In serious...

Captain AhabWhile we struggle with religious beliefs and trying to determine which way is right and which might be wrong. Everything keeps on going and we're in there with it. Our view on life comes out of the current perspective we have. If we change perspective our life changes with it.

We can try and control and change the constructs of life to match our beliefs and dreams, or we can go with it. And let it take us along wherever it wants us to go. We are apart of life whether we understand it or not, so we havent got much to loose by giving...

Julia Margaret Cameron I wait

When you ask. Ask your questions humbly. Stand firm with attention and with as steady and clear voice you can muster up; ask your question.

Our culture makes us into consumers which idolize accumulating which takes and takes and doesn't even understand what it does to us. Mindless consuming is when you immediately start to think of the next thing you will consume when you've devoured whatever just came in your way. If you don't pay attention to what you are doing or instead is...

You didn't choose to be born. You just suddenly experienced being here. You must have wondered why.

Your existence is in alignment with the sole purpose of being. Every lifeform is a divine sparkle engaged in a cosmic orgasmic dance with everything always co-celebrating existence in their own way. Not separated from each other, other than in appearances and the assumed gap in between us. To exist is just meaningless when you feel separated from everything.

ThinkMost of our existential questions are being asked from a poorly...

Believing in yourself is one thing, believing in the world is crazy.

Turn your minds eye towards Earth.

Seen from afar the ant farm that is planet earth must be a wonderful sight to see. Vast forests, great mountains and deep blue oceans. Great buildings and structures. Landmarks from way back when, showing our collective history as a species.

SetiAmazing would not be a strong enough word.

But in the midst of all this splendor are other ..things. Not so beautiful but rather ugly. A shadow side of humanity.

Trying to deal with frustration is really a never ending struggle. If you don't seem to get anywhere then your bad feelings are probably right. No amount of motivational speeches will help you get out of it. You cant, because you wouldn't know where to begin.

Frustration amounts out of helplessness and that's an evil brother to deal with.

Quote Diane Arbus

Life never stops or slows down, but your conceptions of it from your particular viewpoint can come to an halt. Your mental power and disposition comes very much out of how free you feel. To feel...

CatrinasAll around the world the dead are being celebrated and remembered on this day. Indigenous cultures have long known that death is just one more rite of passing and that we should remember the dead as those who's gone before us to another place.
