The Soldier

By takuin | Published: Thursday, December 3, 2009
War is not the fault of the soldier. They do not want to destroy, kill, or cause pain. They want it all to end. They want to go home. Many governments in this beautiful world do not take care of their soldiers. Once the job of a soldier is done, once usefulness is surpassed, they are tossed aside [...]

Potential Violence

By takuin | Published: Friday, June 19, 2009
A message from a friend: Whats the possibility of you and Akiko moving back to the USA? At least out of the way of North Korea's ballistic and long range missiles. I fear that Japan will see a lot of violence if the situation keeps escalating.

War and Anger

By takuin | Published: Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Question of the Week: 9/22 - 9/28 This great question comes from iamasimpleman on the short post, No Mystery. "I have read your words several times and the begin to touch my heart. But there is something against it which comes directly from my heart, anger. And this anger says, want to say, sit Takuin in a time machine to Ausschwitz and than let him talk to these people.

Must War Continue?

By takuin | Published: Sunday, June 15, 2008

Chaos rules all of us and everything we percieve as reality. The war within ourselves, I believe is nothing but the constant struggle one [...]

Questions on Peace and War

By takuin | Published: Saturday, May 31, 2008
These questions come from various e-mails received over the last week. “Do you think we will have peace in the world?’” It is difficult for one to project a future in order to see what may happen.

Quick Thoughts – Consciousness

By takuin | Published: Thursday, January 24, 2008

Order in Our World

By takuin | Published: Friday, April 13, 2007
I was at a talk last night on the topic of Order. I was not there as a speaker; just an observer. I sat quietly for the two hours, listening and observing my thoughts. It was wonderful to go into the subject of order, to find out what is there, if anything, and see if [...]
