Beautiful Friendship

We need to Connect, Communicate and Care. Why? Because, the ‘psychological-self’; The you and the me; The I and the we; The them, they and us; Is a ‘relational tool’. The mind’s ‘relational tool’ for connecting and collecting experience; for calculating and communicating with others is the ‘psychological-self’. This ‘I-self’, is fed and fuelled, nurtured and nourished by the activities of connecting and communing, communicating and caring.   The ‘I-self’ is a psychological relational phenomena; Created and construed, constructed and conditioned to connect; to relate and create relationships. The ‘I-self’ is...

Heart inspired

HEART INSPIRED The source of my Love is not my Love. The source of your Love is not your Love. The source of our Love is not our Love. For this Love is the primordial, trans-personal dynamic energy of connecting. The fundamental, radical relatedness At the Heart and as the Heart Of us all. It can be most helpful to mindfully monitor, be aware and wise to, the movements of our mind. This is especially so with what the mind identifies and so easily becomes identified with, as...

The opposite of Happiness is stress, distress, upset, discontent and suffering. Certainly, much of this unhappiness occurs when we do not act wisely and live with Wisdom. The wiser we are, then it is likely...

For the Contemplatives, Without and Within

The Contemplatives that are around us; in quiet corners of silent rooms, in dim lit caves in foreign lands; in green moist jungles and in cathedrals of forest groves. Yet we also need to rediscover and reclaim Spirituality for the Contemplative that is within us; dwelling deeply beyond the surface level surging of worldly issues and concerns, fears and frustrations, fictions and fantasies. If we leave...
