It’s just that as you get older you get tired more easily and if you haven’t dealt with your traumas and fears then negative states start to sneak up on you. Got to do that inner work if you want to stay ahead of the curve.

It’s odd, because while Osho never made an overall sweeping statement about life direction, the various things he said and how they diffused through the sannyasin community definitely did lead to a uniquely […]

I think it is an interesting conjecture. A glass half-full of orange juice can be seen as half-full, but it can also be seen as half-empty. Which you choose determines to a great extent your happiness. People who […]

Yeah, Dr Eben Alexander, he has an interesting story. I remember reading the book ‘Proof of Heaven’ a few years ago. Not really Christian though you could interpret it like that, and being in America, of course people did.

For me, the wonder of it all is connected with science. Science gives us insight in what happens in the Sun, the leaves of the trees, the rocks of the earth. All these miraculous processes which keep the world […]

Consciousness would just have looked at it. Erin thought many years afterwards that Osho abused his position to satisfy his lust, and may have been right.

Bruce Lee once said, “absorb what is useful, discard what […]

Consciousness is just a mirror, it does not care whether what it reflects is deemed good or bad by humans. Judgment creates good and bad, and that is a function of social conditioning, it varies by society’s […]

Veet old chum, dunno what I’d think about being labelled politically correct. Maybe I don’t have as many weird, outrageous and insulting thoughts as others of your acquaintance. Sorry to be normal.

Cab drivers are made peculiar by their jobs. Although it’s possible some are aliens, you never know, lol.

I found this when looking for a poem for a Buddhist friend who had recently lost his mother, it is popular for eulogies and funerals though I had not come across it before. Clare Harner wrote it in 1934 and had it […]

It’s possible they’re us in another time, certainly their vehicles seem to be able to ignore certain laws of physics. Which means we don’t have any idea of the limits of their capabilities.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you […]

I can think of a few other reasons: scientific exchange, art exchange, literature exchange, biosphere exploration. Watch the movie ‘Arrival’, a really good alien encounter sci-fi movie with an alien race that […]

To be honest, I’m not quite sure what to think about ufos. I watched the 15-minute segment between Joe Rogan and Michio Kaku, and the latter is a pretty reputable, straight-up scientific presenter, who wouldn’t be […]

I think the mere fact that we are here to experience this world, this reality, is a wonder. The trees, the flowers, the bees, the hedgehogs are all miraculous if you are open to seeing each moment as fresh and […]

Oh, was that derision? I didn’t notice.

I don’t have particularly strong feelings about the vaxx/non-vaxx debate, I just think it makes sense to help protect your fellow citizens by vaccinating. But it’s a free […]

I’m not exactly a long-term user of the site, but I’d be very willing to contribute towards this year’s costs.

It strikes me that a lot of religions try to motivate you to follow their beliefs by offering an explanation of what happens beyond death.

The Christians with heaven and hell and purgatory. The buddhists with […]

No, I agree, Klaus, those kind of utterances are inhumane, and if people don’t want to vaccinate they should be given that freedom. But it’s difficult, what do you do when the unvaccinated mix, or come together […]

Those who didn’t vaccinate were left out of many things, like public events where you had to show proof of vaccination. It’s all been annulled by now, though.
