Intentions are mental alphabets that form the native language of the mind. Though intentions are wordless, it is the only language that all minds know how to speak. Life opens its ears of fulfillment to the language of intention like a flower opens its petals to the natural touch of the sun. Words are our second language. Yet they dominate our mental expression. They clothe our thoughts,…

Every big thing traces its origin to a little thing. Little moments shape the meaning of life, for like pixels they add up to little big things. Many overlooked the pixel by trying to get a better look at the bigger picture of life. But in doing so they missed the precious moments that give meaning to life’s grandeur view. The universe is univocal. Though it is infinite, its meaning is one. So…

Person is Latin for personal — an actor’s mask. Is the self hiding behind the mask of the person? The universe is impersonal, making names, identities, and personal belongings unnatural. This begs the question: is the person the first artificial intelligence created by humans? We dressed up thoughts in languages from the moment they were conceived. But what do thoughts look like in their…

Many years after the great fall of man, a priest snuck into paradise. Wanting to make the world a perfect place, he uprooted the tree of good and evil. And with precision, he split the tree into two even halves, so that the tree was no longer one. Then the priest completely destroyed the half of the tree that bore the fruits of evil. With great joy, the priest made his way back to earth…

The mind is the enemy of freedom. It confines our thoughts and fences us into personal spaces to be independent beings who are unfree. To be an individual who’s free is an oxymoron. For individualism shackled us to limitations from which we cannot be free. When we fence ourselves to create our own personal space, we fence out freedom which cannot live in spaces of confinement. The universe has…

Energy is the DNA of existence. Everything in the universe is energy dependent, even humans. We can invest our life-energy (“labor”) in what we do, but we cannot separate ourselves from it to make it sellable. We can only sell that which we’re able to separate ourselves from. We can sell our house, car, and intellectual property. We can even sell one of our kidneys. But it’s impossible to sell…

Time is the byproduct of the human mind linear thinking and perceiving of existence. We experience time from the inside out, not from the outside in. So it’s no coincidence that the rhythm of our thinking thoughts is identical to the rhythm of a ticking clock. Time isn’t an imposition that’s placed upon life. Time is a projection of our linear thinking upon life. We should all ask ourselves this…

Fear is an alpha thought. Whenever fear arises, it summons all of our attention so that its presence reigns over our minds. Attention is a mental calorie. All thoughts need its energy to exist. But not all thoughts are created equal. Some thoughts are alpha thoughts that demand more of our attention than others. If we’re not mindful, fear will chase away all pleasant thoughts so that it alone can…

Enskied in the sky, many patches of cloud once gathered to celebrate the reaching of great heights. During the celebration, one of the patches of cloud turned to the others and said: Of all the features of the earth, our beauty stands above and beyond the reach of all others. Even the beauty of diamonds, pearls, rubies, and gold must, at some point in their existence, be touched by the…

The mind is an unisex womb. Its birth pangs are felt in daily experiences that are born into the lives of both male and female. When we look at the mind as a brain instead of a womb, we relinquish the willpower to decide which gestating experiences should be born and which should be aborted. For willpower can either be a midwife or an abortionist of life’s experiences. It depends on which…

Myths hang on the human mind like artificial fruits hang on the branches of a Christmas tree. The mind is a twig that bends away from lived truth, arcing toward the myths in which we trust. If the mind is prune of all myths, almost all of what we think is true would be uprooted. And existence as we know it would no longer stand. What should never be absent from human understanding is that…

Success isn’t only determined by the paths we take. But also by what kind of paths we ourselves are for the forces of life that are constantly affecting us as they pass through our lives. People are the pathways of life-changing forces. Wherever we stand in life there are always oncoming forces trying to move us.Humans think that the sun shines at us and not through us. So we failed to realize…

Once while a widow went into self-exile on the distant island of loneliness, she sat on the shore of life weeping as she watched and listened to the sounds of its oncoming waves. But as each wave approached her, it echoed a deep secret about life. “Nothing in existence has ever lived alone. Look around and you’ll see that everything has many neighbors,” said the sound of the first wave. “For…

You should never bury past desires without the headstones of appreciation. In failing to do so, you’ll overlook the fulfillments that you’re now living. Every day we trample upon past fulfillment with hasty unappreciative steps toward the fulfillment of new desires. But we cannot find peace in the fulfillments we have yet to reach, only in the fulfillments we’ve forgotten we are now living. The…
