As I sit here, writing these words, everything is still. The letters arrive in their own perfect time.
I pause, I type. Repeat. The physical movements are mechanical, and all else is quiet.
I am a poor typist, but I have internalized a second-rate, hunt and peck method of typing. It is not smooth, and there is [...]
I returned to Japan on July 3rd. I am amazed at how the plants have grown. Everything is so green and lush. You can hear various creatures living in the thickets, but you cannot see them. It is the rainy season in here. Everything is wet and green.
I had an interesting physical experience upon my [...]

I always encourage others to spend more time outdoors. In our modern world, it is a safe to assume that most human beings spend the majority of their time indoors, or at least, in confined spaces. And while it is not at all necessary to stay outside in order to be in the moment, it [...]

How do you see yourself? Is there a sense of self?
If you mean, do I build myself up to be something, or say I believe this is the right way, and therefore this other thing is the wrong way, or I have a system of living that I will defend and fight to prove right above [...]
Even though I speak English, and the readers of my blog speak English (even if it isn’t a first language), there are some difficulties with communicating thoroughly. Some people might think I am crazy about semantics, or maybe I just like to nit-pick. But that is not the case.
Let’s take a seemingly simple question like: “Do [...]
You describe that it is as if the world is constantly being destroyed and created at every moment. What if that is exactly what is happening? With every time you perceive the world, you are observing the world, loving it, and so it destroys itself (much like the way you destroy thought). However, in each [...]
I have been away from this site for two weeks, but I am still living.
I have received some questions from a nice person named Hampton on the Steve Pavlina.com forums. Now that I have a regular connection to the internet, I am more than happy to go into whatever questions are placed in front of me. That [...]
I am in an intersting situation that I don’t normally encounter. I am in a town that seems heavily comprised of negative people. I ask myself, what is it in me that is seeing the negativity here? Is it from any point of view? Do I see with an idea that something else is better than [...]
I see people I have known before. Perhaps it has been more that ten or fifteen years since the last time I met with them. At first, I am not sure I am seeing someone I have met. The faces are unfamiliar, but listening to them tells me I have experienced this before. Then suddenly, [...]
When I see the world, my immediate surroundings, there is a great feeling of wonder. Inexplicably, nothing and all things are there simultaneously. Thought doesn’t arise, projecting itself on whatever is being seen. Whatever I look at is seen immediately, without time or any interference on my part. Even the fake wood-grain of this Formica [...]
