This blog is about the mind story – my intimate relationship with the mind. And the stories evolve around my own spiritual growth which includes my own shortcomings, observations and understanding.
Interestingly it was recognizing arrogance that propels me to look at spirituality from a different light, beginning from the Buddha’s teaching to other faith, seeing profound similarities in them. Arrogance swings me from one end of polarity to the other end, humility. And again, only in recognizing both ends was I able to come to my own balance state, the middle path. Both ends have extreme interpretations of good and bad whereas the centre has its understanding of both. The recognition I am talking about is wisdom in working, found in each and everyone of us, when we allow.
And my journey is still evolving and refining, bringing myself back again and again, consistently, allowing wisdom to unfold in me, from extremity to the middle path of non-judgment and non-violence, seeing the world as my own creation and definition.
May you find yourself in these readings and come into your inner peace and freedom.

Quantum physics defies what Newtonian physics is all about. At the molecular level, the entire game changes. In fact it is totally in opposition to what is.
The same goes with the mind. The world I perceived outwardly is not exactly what I thought it is - a different set of rules reign within.
Beyond the falseness
Truth beckons me.

This is so weird. I saw this on the Tshirt you were wearing today. I told myself to remember to ask you “Can you print Tshirts with this message”!!!
“I was working through a qigong session with a master two days ago and while at it, I experienced an impatient mind awaiting an end to the session.”
I can appreciate your feeling because I have practiced 18 years Tai Chi.

Wah so the holy spirit comes to your doorstep instead!
You have a wonderful posting. I loved reading it very much. Thanks keep up the stupendous work.
Hi, I can?t understand how to add your site in my rss reader. Can you Help me, please? I really want to read your future posts.
sorry i am not familiar with rss
I like your post, the fact that your site is a little bit different makes it so interesting, I get fed up of seeing the same old boring recycled stuff all of the time.
I was searching for photography when I found your site. Great post. Thank You.
Thanks to your post I dont look like an idiot. I had a disagreement with someone and this shows I was right. Thanks!
Even “right” needs to be investigated :). You will enjoy the journey when you keep looking at the interpretation the mind is having.
Great article! that’s the kind of day I’m working towards myself. Have to love the opportunities the Internet provides for entrepreneurs!
Thanks for another fab article – I enjoyed that!
This blog was the right choice for me, can I subscribe to this?
I love the sentiment of this. I forwarded the URL of this to everyone in my address book.
You know this made me think of a quote. It’s something like: “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
yea nice Work :D
Hey! I have been following your blog for 3 days now and i should say i am starting to like your articles.I guess im subscribing now for not missing anything new.
You, casually, not the expert?
I do not know what is an expert except sharing from my own observation, experience and understanding what the masters of the past have in their mind. I am still continuously, in the process of seeing how the mind works, its lies and fabrications and how I can be liberated from it. What I shared is not ultimate truth, as ultimate truth is experiential by nature and thus what comes out in writing becomes symbol of symbol, twice removed from its true meaning of experience. I am only pointing the way, each of us have to walk the way as what the masters has done in the past. As such we are all experts in our own level, improving ourselves along the way.
Very informative post. Thanks!
I am sure u will find more and more about yourself as you read :)
Welcome First time bounded here on your site, founde on Google. Thanks very much for your reply and words, as you likely know this is a very important thing to me! I have checked out a number of sites regarding relationships and your advice sounds the most loving. I looked into a couple of ‘guys’ sites that advocate what seems more like games and psychological warfare then attempts to build love and companionship in a hard time. I think I’ll look into your writings! Thanks again, and take care.
Nice post, I have been following your blog for the last few weeks and just wanted to say how impressed I am.
Thanks for the post.
Your website looks really good. Being a blog writer myself, I really appreciate the time you took in writing this article.
Hi Joe, appreciate your comment. There are good and bad times in writing. But most of it comes from my daily inspired observation of my own mind and others. I do hope you will find yourself in those writings. Best regards
Thanks for your compliment. Appreciate your time in reading what is not just about my own journey but the journey of each and everyone of us who wish to reclaim our freedom and peace.
Very good post I love your site keep up the amazing posts
Your post piqued my interest. Please give us a more indepth post if you get a chance.
Hello, nice blog you have here. I must say that I liked reading this piece. I noticed it this afternoon and soon found that it was interesting, so it motivated me to drop a comment. I think there will be others who most likely share your opinion concerning this matter. So, I?ll plan to come back when I make more time to view more. This is kinda weird, but I was just calling my friend about this subject, so this information was perfect. I will bookmark this blog and get the RSS link also. Thanks again.
Most readers just don’t have the time to scan another page so in my opinion that would more likely give lesser traffic for your blog.
Great post, I’m a big believer in commenting on blogs both for the reasons you’ve listed here but also as a way to help the blog authors know that they’ve added something of value to the web!
It came to my awareness that more and more of us are starting to wake up from our unconscious dream – a world that we have taken as real and moving towards something that is closer to our heart – the recognition of the mind shortcomings and the arising of Love and Compassion.
thanx for your comment. will consider categorizing the article in topics/
As a Newbie, I am always searching online for articles that can help me. Thank you
