If we use civilized language, as a measure to gauge a persons level of maturity and dignity, it all becomes clear, really. It is quite like wearing clothes that keep a bit to the imagination, or just running around butt naked. Really not very becoming of civilized folks. The tearing down of modern civilization is… Continue reading How should we rate the name calling and crass language so prevalent in social media?

Wokism, and its mega need for Acceptance
Oh my. The Woke culture is everywhere, screaming, beating its chest, jumping up and down, overheated frustration and anger. It is pitiful to see them coming unwound. The Woke anti-culture's cynicism has stolen all the wonderful beautiful things from life, and turned them into an ideological cesspool. This virus really does need to "be disappeared"… Continue reading Wokism, and its mega need for Acceptance
Religion, Acceptance or Rejection
I am going to use Sikhism as an example of how human religion is built on using methods to be acceptable to their Creator. There are innumerable examples of the things that humans think they need to do in order to be acceptable, both in religion and in society. Sikhism, like most all religions, is… Continue reading Religion, Acceptance or Rejection
Reality is Truth
Truth is natural reality. Our "intellectual" brains like to make it out to something separate, but it is not. We can use one or more of our senses to see it, hear it, touch it, smell it, taste it. But natural reality is built from building blocks that are hidden from our five senses. Natures… Continue reading Reality is Truth
Why does Mental Fixation make us unable to see things clearly
What happens when a person is mentally fixated? They become more and more focused on one issue (thing), which in turn increasingly exaggerates the importance of that one issue. The issue becomes totally blown out of proportion, and the ability to find balance on that issue it is lost. This is why, when a person… Continue reading Why does Mental Fixation make us unable to see things clearly
The Frog’s Tongue
This illustration, is using the Frog's tongue as an analogy for mental fixation. From the time we wake up, until we fall asleep. The mind continuously jumps from one focus to the next. This is really "what the frog does". When the frog sees something it wants to eat, it shoots out its tongue, and… Continue reading The Frog’s Tongue
Reality, and the lie called Evil
Evil has no actual existence, like a rock, a tree, or a bird. Evil only "exists" in the minds of humans, in their thoughts, words and deeds. Evil, as such, is indeed the absence of our proper relationship with reality. Our proper relationship is participating with the one source of all. It is a part… Continue reading Reality, and the lie called Evil
Always be returning back to Zero
"Always be returning to Zero. It is a wonderful place. It is clean and fresh, with the ability to act in response to life without having old built up responses controlling us." Continuously getting back to Zero is SO important. Opinions and attitudes build up without us noticing them, and suddenly we find ourselves reacting… Continue reading Always be returning back to Zero
Fixation, Depression… potayto, potato
Depression is the same as fixation. Suppressing doesn't work, and trying to fix it doesn't work. The answer to fixation is to shift the attention fully onto something else (running or whatever works!). Find something else, and believe it or not depression falls off. When the fixation tries to re-awaken, just say "ok, I am… Continue reading Fixation, Depression… potayto, potato
Thoughts on a tipsy turvy Monday morning in March 2025
I know, by the way, that there will be those who disagree, but I am going to state my case here, and leave it here. ----------------------------------------- I for one, am a middle of the road kinda guy. I will break hard right if necessary, and break hard left if it is called for. It may… Continue reading Thoughts on a tipsy turvy Monday morning in March 2025
