The Forgotten Wealth: A Tale of Hunger, Memory, and Misplaced Identity

There’s an old beggar in our town; he goes around with a bowl knocking at doors begging for food to ease his hunger.

Stop Trying to be Spiritual: Stop Trying, and There it is

The idea of possessing spiritual qualities implies a fallacy: the fallacy that you exist, and that you are capable of possessing anything. In fact, the very idea of independent existence is the source of all suffering and the subsequent desire to become spiritual. All this is God’s land, i.e. the land of Pure Presence, so let go of all that spiritual bullshit and try to mind your own business, which simply means: recognize that you are already present and it’s all alright. … More Stop Trying to be Spiritual: Stop Trying, and There it is

The Best Investment Tip: Mind Your Own Business

To be a good investor is to mind my own business, to become present and responsive to what is mine to do at any given moment, and to remember that my or your thoughts and feelings are not my business either.  So, what can I do? To focus my attention on what  lies in the domain of my immediate action. And that’s all I have; that is the only thing that’s truly mine in this world and of which I have perfect control: my attention and the ability to navigate it. … More The Best Investment Tip: Mind Your Own Business

Of Fratricide, Love, & Prayer: Pleas of a Restless Heart

To express and realize the desire of the heart, one must call the beloved into presence with one’s all being. All organs, subtle and gross, must call on the beloved: the heart by prayer, the tongue by speaking the truth, the eyes by seeing beauty, the ears by active listening, and the body by selfless service. When all of a man’s being calls on the same thing, that’s well-being and harmony; when there’s divergence and each organ wants something different, that’s disease. … More Of Fratricide, Love, & Prayer: Pleas of a Restless Heart

Exploring Authenticity: Perspectives from Jungian Psychology, Heideggerian Philosophy, and Sufism

Rumi, a renowned Sufi poet, emphasized the importance of love and the heart in the quest for authenticity. For Sufis, the heart is the center of spiritual knowledge and wisdom. Authentic living involves purifying the heart, detaching from external identifications, and seeking a deeper connection with the divine.

The Child & The Walking Dead

There used be a child content in love and abundance, for whom one idea was enough, and that was his concrete Reality. But this modern semblance of a man, he needs one too many ideas, identifications, positions with regard to everything, swarming in podcasts and debates, only to satisfy an insatiable sense of belonging that is only truly satisfied by what is buried alive within himself. … More The Child & The Walking Dead

On Hell & The Late Afternoon Sea

They say memory is information grafted somewhere in the brain. But that’s not how I experience memory. My memories are living experiences of parts of me that are still living in the places and situations I have visited. I have left them there because they didn’t want to leave but they are still living. And it strikes me that if I am still living everywhere and at all times at once, then all places and times must be living within me!  … More On Hell & The Late Afternoon Sea

Make the Call
