One gazes up into the night sky, seeing the millions of points staring back. If there is such a thing as divinity, One is that very thing.
It is not the divinity of the church, or the divinity of the god of knowledge, or the knowledge that builds gods, builds the difference between [...]
In my last post, Uzma made this request:
Tell us more of Bruce Lee’s philosophy in your own words and understanding. Something strikes a chord, with you and Bruce Lee. Am intrigued. Both by your article and Bruce Lee himself. Tell us more please, if you don’t mind.
It was never a matter of following his philosophy. [...]
Today is the 35th anniversary of the death of Bruce Lee. I felt it necessary to say a few words.
Bruce had a huge influence on my thinking during my late twenties. And even though I carry none of what I took with me at that time, I am forever grateful to him. (I won’t go [...]
This post is an extension of a conversation going on over at Tom Stine’s blog on the post Thank You Eckhart Tolle and Oprah Winfrey.
Before we get into it, if you have not been to Tom’s site (TomStine.com), get over there right now and look into it. It is a wonderful place to spend time, [...]
NOTE: This post is one of the first I ever wrote. I recently found it on my computer along with other somewhat interesting writings. I have no idea who asked the question (I can’t remember), but thanks, whoever you are.
Also, I received a question recently about the Question of the Week. “Where do you get [...]

According to legend, Aesop was a slave in Greece during the 6th century B.C. Here is a bit from Wikipedia:
During the reign of [...]
Question of the Week: 6/30 - 7/6
A recent question through e-mail:
Are you a member of any religious, philosophical, or spiritual organisation? You never really talk about that, but it seems to me that you’d be resistent to the idea.
Because one is not a member does not mean that one is resistant. It simply means one [...]
I have seen many familiar faces today; some for the first time in several months.
There is a recognition there, but at the same time, I do not know them. It may seem natural to say that you know someone, but in this organism, there is nothing more unnatural.
If I see my brother, there is recognition [...]
When the sun rises, and the eyes open, don’t wait for someone to come.
You are alone now.
The years of fog will lift.
But watch the first step going into the bathroom.
When you see a couple violently arguing, you’ll simply watch.
When the child plays too close to the road, you’ll simply watch.
When the friend gets her hair [...]
This comment is from the previous post, Questions on Peace and War.
War will always be a constant in our lives. Violence and peaces are just smaller peices in the stream of chaos. Chaos rules all of us and everything we percieve as reality.
The war within ourselves, I believe is nothing but the constant struggle one [...]
