In a previous post, Egology I, we discussed the nature of the ego as such and the different types of egos at play in our natural, everyday experience of the world. I emphasize that by ego we didn’t mean selfishness or any of its negative connotations, which are only a few possibilities for the ego … More Egology II
We superimpose our human rigidity on God, making Him judgmental and ourselves fearful. While we must fear God, our fear of Him should be a humbling awe with utmost veneration before His infinitude rather than a childish fright before His revengeful wrath. We, and especially we religious and spiritual people, and even more so myself, … More Truth & Intelligence
(Introductory Note: This post is about Being and beings, so it is necessary to define from the outset what I mean by being and Being. By being, or beings, when written with lower-case “b” I refer to entities as existent things; for instance, a cup, a person, an idea, a thought, etc. which are existent … More Human Being as the site of revelation
Forgetfulness is the mark of this world. What is the use of seeking that which is forgotten when the only way of finding it is to remember?! What we have lost is not to be found in the world, for we are in the world precisely because we lost. World is the face of forgetfulness. … More Wake Up Already

Embodiment, whether of the object, of ourselves, or of the world as a whole, is the production of time. Time appearing to slip … More Truth-Eclipsing Time
Truth and our fundamental relation to it creeps into our everyday language whether we want it or not. This is so because in a manner of speaking we are the truth, though we may be oblivious to this truth. Let us take a look at the way we express our actions in the present tense, … More The Many Faces of The I
Don’t ever think that you are not home. You are home and you always been home because you are the home. This human life of yours to which you think you belong, this apparently vast cosmos in which you think you reside, all this is just the scenery. Your dearest attachments, your identity and personality, … More The Blanket of Truth
Objects are not simply passive phenomena hovering over against consciousness. Objects always appear with an overbearing claim to existence. Look around you! Everything that is is saying “I am.” The world is a voice pronouncing “I AM.” AUMMM World is a tyranny of Being. I am. Yet, I am a quite peculiar being: Though inert … More I AM
