Philosophies and Theologies are just words designed to program humans to have certain general physiological responses to words so that the humans can be control or manipulated.

Dancing With Words: The Beginning
Speaking before an audience is difficult. Speaking before a potentially hostile audience is even more challenging. Speaking your truth that you know will turn an audience hostile is probably the hardest thing a person can do. Learning to be ok with people’s hostility and outright anger at your truth is both a science and an […]
Taking Back the Power of Words to Hurt
I saw an interview today on CNN’s website where Marc Lamont Hill were saying that we should allow a discussion of the “N-word”. I find that attitude one of the most open minded I have heard in a long time. Let me explain why. I have realized that words do not hurt people; it is people’s […]
Identification Ends Love
CNN Exclusive: One conservative’s dramatic reversal on gay marriage – CNN.com. This story is a perfect example of how a person’s identification with someone or something has limited their love.

Honesty Leads to Heaven
Being honest with yourself leads to a heavenly life experience. Lying to yourself and others leads to a hellish life experience. It is so hard to be honest, even with ourselves.

After finding some degree of inner peace and the clarity that comes with […]
Beyond Nonduality
I went to talk by a nonduality teacher this week. He was pretty good as nonduality teachers go (I have heard many teachers of the nonduality persuasion talk and ply their trade). I have studied the teachers of old who started the modern nonduality movement, I even meditated on Ramana’s bed in the ‘cave’ in […]
Master Your Mind
Master your own mind. This is the heart of the message of all the great teachers or ‘masters’ that ever existed, be they called Buddhas or Christs, for they were masters over their own minds and hence masters over the world. Meditation or ‘watching’ is just the process of watching your own mind so that […]
What is Unconditional Love?
I do not want to talk about theory or philosophy here; I really want to talk from my personal experience of Unconditional Love. It took me a lot of work, time just asking myself what I wanted, listening to that inner voice or guidance, before I realized I prefer the experience of loving what life […]
