21.09.2010-Holding it together…

Often I see people trying to make the world a better place by taking vigorous action to change a situation. This is good and necessary, but I believe that in order to effect true and permanent change for the better, ultimately a different solution is necessary. There is a collective consciousness which is literally creating […]


20.09.10-The Breath…

I am trying something different at the moment. I have been trying to meditate immediately after getting out of bed and then doing my Yoga after my meditation. I find my energy is slower and it takes longer to get it flowing through me, but my mind seems to be less agitated. Its as if […]


18.09.10-Happiness Progress

I have never meditated so regularly as I have over the past few weeks. I have now carried out my practice at least once every day for 37 out of the last 41 days. Since I officially began my journey on the 22nd of August, I have only missed 2 days making it 32 out […]


16.09.10-The Sound of Silence

Today was not a day for reflecting. I was not in the mood for the arduous task of thinking and intellectualizing about what is going on inside me. Although philosophy and explanation are a good and necessary part of my development, it is clear that any operations that can be put into words or thoughts […]


15.09.10-Tectonics of the mind

Its important to realize that at an any given time we are influencing the creation of the very fabric of the world around us. Its not just the immediate or even long term situations or circumstances that we put ourselves in, but the actual look, taste, sound, and smell of our existence that our consciousness […]


14.09.10-Adjustments

Today was a day of clarity. I was able to do my yoga this morning, but did not have time to meditate before going to the office. I managed to take an hour out of my day around lunch time however to put in my ear plugs and fade into Big Mind. It was clear […]


13.09.10-The caterpillar

The past couple of days have been challenging in that I did not necessarily feel like I was making much progress in my practice. After my time in the mountains, coming back to the city to my regular routine was a bit tough. I felt a bit frustrated with myself and my life and clarity […]


11.09.10-We ARE all brothers…

In 1854, on the eve of the demise of the world and life that his people had known for untold generations, Chief Seattle, a Sasquamish Chief, delivered this message to the President of the United States: “The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or […]


10.09.10-Do the right thing!

Although I found it difficult to get started making my entry tonight, I am glad I am doing it. Although I did meditate this morning, I was not at all feeling inspired. My aim was to have a hard working productive day and for one reason and then another, I managed to waste a great […]


09.09.2010-Back to Life

I arrived yesterday from my week long odyssey into nature and solitude. The cabin I stayed in was completely secluded, deep in the mountain forest with not phone reception and no neighbors for many miles. It was an amazing and relaxing retreat. Besides the hiking, reading, and chores that are necessary to keep body and […]


31.08.10- Signs pointing Into the woods

Its finally here! Tomorrow I will be taking my first days off from work since last Christmas. I’m super excited about what lies ahead for the next week: I have a friend who owns a cabin in a very secluded area deep in the mountains, and I have made plans to stay there alone for […]


30.08.2010- An ocean of freedom

I was tempted to skip my practice this morning. After the incessant schedule that I had last week, I just had to sleep a bit longer this morning and the difficulty in finding the time for it seemed like a very acceptable excuse for a day off.  I did however manage to take a break […]
