(The image is the famous Hubble Ultra-Deep Field.) We often demand miracles as proofs for the transcendental origin of the world; but in demanding so we are blind to the miracle in the fact of being and the act of demanding. Our mundane preoccupations eclipse the sense of wonder inherent in each moment and its … More The Parable of The Naked Man
Adam and Eve took a bite from the tree…, and hence The Fall. Did they fall out? Fall in? Fall through? Fall short? Or Fallujah? No. They did fall: They fell asleep, dreaming of transgression and expulsion, of life and death, of losing that which cannot be lost. God is tearing his throat to wake … More The Real Fall

See that with regard to the phenomenal world you are the vessel and not that which is in the vessel. The world happens to you and before you. World is that which is continually experienced, but you … More The Flux of Revelation

As all characters of subconscious are expressions of the tendencies within one consciousness, we too though appearing separate from one another are one n spirit and essence and only different in temperaments … More Existence: The Dream of Separation
We must die in order to survive. We love ourselves; even more so we love our selves; we love it that we are a self, an I, a person separate from other persons.
