Most people go through life just surfing it, and by surfing, I mean, they take the easy route by following society, fashion, and/or whatever else is the mode at the moment without questioning it, without rebelling, and without even realizing what is happening with them and to them. They just do what they are told, believe what they were taught or told, and do what is expected from them. There is nothing wrong with living like this, but is this the way YOU want to live ? If we live just to live; if we are just born, grow, procreate, and die as we were told; then we are just another simple creature on this planet. The question is: are we just another creature on this planet? For some reason, we were given, or have, the most advanced nervous system, which differentiates us from the rest of the creatures. The difference is that, at least, the other creatures live to their full potential. A dog does what a dog does and as such it lives its life to its fullest potential; a tiger does w...

Life is about: including everyone and everything, as opposed to excluding everyone and everything that does not fit our narrow criteria. knowledge, understanding and clarity; as opposed to morality, values, judgements and opinions.  us taking responsibility for ourselves, as opposed as passing the responsibility to others or to a “superior” being.  accepting “I do not know” when you do not know, as opposed to believing in something that you do not know. serving others, as opposed to serving myself and mine. living every single moment as if it is the most wonderful moment and the last moment of our lives, as opposed to letting time pass in the pursuit of trivial goals as if we were immortals. realizing that absolutely everything and everyone are divine, as opposed to believing that divinity is reserved for only certain beings or things. an inner journey and a process of Self-awareness and Self-experiencing, as opposed to relying on external practic...

Every day, every hour, every action, no matter how small, can make a difference. We all can solve, or help to solve, the most complex problems one good deed at a time. If we all contribute, one good deed after another will eventually make a pile. That’s how we can tackle all the social, economic, environmental, etc. problems. There is not a better way to illustrate this than with the starfish story. One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands and thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked, he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one. Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, “throwing starfish back into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves,” the young boy replied. “When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I th...

Life is about: focusing on living to the fullest here and now, as opposed to focusing on the promise of an afterlife. appreciating it as the most wonderful gift, as opposed to seeing it as a punishment, or just a simple biological occurrence or accident in time and space.  understanding that every experience, regardless of how hard it is, is an opportunity to learn and grow, as opposed to seeing it as a problem, bad luck, or curse (why me?).  realizing that this here is Heaven, as opposed to expecting Heaven to be somewhere else in the afterlife. taking the hard path of continuously working on ourselves, as opposed to taking the easy path of believing that something bigger than us is going to do what we have not been able to do for ourselves.  seeking the truth and experiencing it, as opposed to just believing in something told to you. carving our own lives like a sculpture one experience at a time, as opposed to just allowing the environment and...
