I was amazed at the scale of it. I began to ponder the meaning of infinity. I realized that whatever I pondered, however I conceived of it, I would be nowhere, literally...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/whoami/465560Looking for answers, I turned to science. I thought that science was the only religion that could be trusted. Science was tested and the evidence that scientific experiments revealed seemed unquestionable. This seemed to be the only rational system upon which to search for personal meaning....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/whoami/464896I have always wondered what I am. Since as long as I can remember, I have been intrigued with this consciousness that I call me? How is it that I am aware of myself? What is like to be Strett- a friend who I grew up with. In fact, there were times when for the slightest second, I thought I was...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/whoami/464293An excellent example of humanity's collective ego is shown in the form of the Olympic games. It all about perfection. It's all about competition. It's all about honor! It's all about ego. Competition means to "conspire together," thereby pushing each competitor to greatness. Competition is a...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/whoami/459959Our well being is a reflection of our present state of vibration. Our focus, beliefs, diet, sense of self-honesty, integrity, humor, freedom from illusions of self-importance, ability to detach and compassion are all factors that work together to create this vibration. Big factors preventing...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/whoami/459053We are healthy by nature, it takes stress to make us sick. Where does stress come from? It comes from lack. This lack comes from the perception of loss, or the lack or not having that which we want to gain. In other words, fear and desire are the source of stress. What then is the remedy? This...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/whoami/458772The power of good cheer, oh how glorious. Pity makes more pity, thereby spreading pity and bringing pity back, so that we can be more pitiful- what's the point. Perpetual good cheer is the way to health and lightness. What if a desire pulls us in? What if fear haunts us? Accept it completely. By...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/whoami/458107Say yes your stress. Accept it. Have fun with it. "This is me stressed now, and that's okay. Look at me, I am stressed." Once again I stress that you accept it completely. Don't fight your stressed state. "I accept that I am stressed and will experience it completely." If you truly accept it, you...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/whoami/457656Life is exercise. We need to put focus and energy into our lives to get focus and energy back. So simple, so effective. Take the stairs, instead of the elevator. Take a jog or cycle to the supermarket, instead of a drive. Play with spouses, friends, animals and kids until you are exhausted. Put...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/whoami/456467I do not think that discipline is effective. I believe desire has purpose. I believe that desire should not be fought, but rather understood.
