It has rained for most of the day, here in Toyama. The clouds are low, and the mountain peaks are visible, stabbing toward the sky. It is finally cool here, after a long period of hellish weather.
As I was out this morning, I thought of the transformation in the human mind. It is a constant [...]
Is it necessary to be dig deep and think up and let our negative thoughts pass? Can we not just let them be, not prod, and find a centre and let them go .Sort of like surrendering to the Universe and letting thoughts come and go rather than , probe ?
I am not saying anything [...]
This comes from the comments on Fear, Security, and Earthquakes.
Is fear a mere projection? I don’t know. To a certain extend, yes. But, in some cases it may be natural to be fear, we are born with that, right? To feel that sth wrong is going to happen, so that we can response, be [...]
This comes from the comments on, The Importance of Finding Out for Yourself.
Could it be that understanding through knowledge is not enough? That “knowing it” is not the same as “living it”?
Do we “understand” through what we know? One’s definition of that word might be “to grasp with the intellect,” which would seem to imply, [...]

It is nice for others to show interest in me, but I hope I can dis-suede them from writing down what I say in order to follow it later. It might be of use to write down various questions and go into them, thoroughly seeing whatever might happen to be within.
But if someone really likes [...]
This comes from the comments on the post, Question and Answer (or Question and Question?) Part Two.
Would you say you believe in gravity or something like that? What I am trying to determine is whether there may be beliefs which you are not aware of, which exist in the mind below the level of conscious [...]
Eckhart Tolle has a bit of a different definition. He calls us all consciousness, but it is all trapped in the form of identification with thoughts, beliefs, emotions, etc. The start of enlightenment is the slow removal of consciousness from all these forms, and letting just be [...]
Do you think there are levels after enlightenment? Like they talk about the Buddha has somehow having a superior enlightenment as compared to the others… or is that just a belief thing?
It seems that we only hear these things from other people; never from the subject of comparison. Someone is always saying it in respect [...]
If one sees that there is no “I,” and it is understood deep, down to the cellular level, then there is no search. The search is only possible from a contrary position, and that is what the self is; a contrary position. It is always opposite something else. I am not saying that it is [...]
