Religion and Spirituality are two set of coins.
Spirituality and religion, are not the same. They are two set of coins (that can sometimes merge however).
Spirituality is delving into the text and finding the true meaning of the teaching. Religion is following it to the dot.
[On side note: if you have to teach a cave man how cell mitosis works or what electricty is, you’ld probably do it in parables because they have no basis to your...

Competition comes from a lack mentality.
I forgot who said this awhile back, but it changed the way I looked at work. “Competition comes from a lack mentality.” It makes so much sense because competition occurs when there is a limited amount of resource, and everyone is trying to get a piece of the pie. But the universe itself is abundant.
I think of companies like Apple and Google and you realize they did not come about...

Go with the flow...
Let the universe handle the complexity of the “how”. Let things flow and go wit it. People give up mid-way through because they fail to realize: this is what it looks like while what you asked for is happening.

I realized...
φ or the golden ratio is a ‘sacred’ irrational number that is found throughout nature. Essentially φ is a proponent in manifesting thought into matter. This is why many things in nature conform to φ. The technology for this time-space has not caught up yet as quantum physics is just in its infancy. It will be possible to have vibration or strings of energy manifest into matter. It...
12 - Tao
Colors blind the eye. Sounds deafen the ear. Flavors numb the taste. Thoughts weaken the mind. Desires wither the heart. The Master observes the world but trusts his inner vision. He allows things to come and go. His heart is open as the sky.

Things I learned this month...
Manage how you feel and what you focus on and you will change your experience. Focus on the solution of the problem, instead of dwelling in the problem. Focus on your mood and feeling good. You should feel lightweight like a feather with no burdens or resistance. Let go of all the things not in your control. The only thing you can control is how you feel. View the people you meet based on their...

You can reach the top of the echelon, but being there will not mean a thing if you do not know what you want and what you are all about. Success is fulfilling the criteria you define for yourself. sometimes, when you are going too fast, you lose track of what you truly want, or worse yet fulfilling criteria set by someone else. In some cases, it’s best to slow down or stop completely and...

Keep expanding.
The moment when you are content and start getting lazy, when you do not want things to change because you are afraid of change, you do not ask for more because you think you won’t get it, you are resting on past laurels — that’s the moment when death starts following you, because you’re not contributing to the universe’s expansion so the universe will wanna kill...

Love has no opposite.
There is no opposite to love. Love can manifest or there is an absence of love.

Let the way you feel matter more to you than life itself and reach for the relief of the best thought that you can find and watch how quickly manifestations of all manner take shape appearing before you like the rocks in the stream to surprise and delight you, but more importantly, to confirm the worthy, deserving nature of your Being.
The love we feel for you cannot be defined in words. We flow...

"He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven"
HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. -W.B. Yeats (1865–1939) “He Wishes For the Cloths of...
