The greatness of human kind is from their ability to work in collaboration, no organisms, or system is self reliant. All things rely on one another. Nothing sustains itself. Nothing exists independently. The idea of being “independent” and “self made” is a lie. All things have a shared dependancy on each other, the idea you

Sometime ago I posted an entry Comparing Sunyata and Brahmin I attempted to reconcile these views in a synthesis, I no longer regard this perspective as valid and my reasoning as to why follows: Brahman is inherent existence; śūnyatā is the absence of such inherence. Emptiness is therefore not an “essence of form” in the

No nature is fixed other than the condition that everything that is taken to be a thing changes. All attempts at reification of a self are static conceptions grasping at dynamic existence. They are phantoms, assumptions of a consistent self-concept. There are no origins or substantial existence beyond the conventionally posited, dependently arisen patterns that

To know the self directly, requires letting go of everything you take yourself to be. To know reality directly, requires letting go of everything you thought reality to be. To know God directly, is to know self and reality directly. The greatest illuminator of reality, self, and God, is surrendering. The greatest surrendering is the

So much of my suffering has been trying to find something unchanging and permanent in a changing and impermanent world. No wonder it felt so heavy.

It was all part of the same experience. It needed me to be reflected within it. Every person saw themselves in me too. We

Oh you vile men, bond in your worldly chains, relishing in your own vices. You’re like meat marinating in filth to feed a demon. Your schakles are screens, and your chains wires. Your minds wonder from the truth. Lusting after phantoms of your own creation. Your wickedness is in your ignorance.Your wickedness is in your

Let’s talk about Violence, I know this is a taboo topic in enlightenment circles, and this may sound even more taboo when I say violence is an option, but I firmly believe that violence is neither evil nor good. Violence is a principle by which much of life sustains itself. There is a constant bloody

Faith is Best Practiced in Authenticity Surrendering to a belief can sometimes imply that we claim to know the truth. However, true humility lies in letting go of any preconceived notions or assumptions. Entering into union with God begins with acknowledging that we know nothing about Him. We cannot define, conceptualize, or place boundaries or

It’s neither the thoughts nor the senses; it’s not before you, it’s not after you. It’s the reality of you, as you are, however you are. It’s not something to attain; it’s not something to discover—it’s more something to remember. It’s never separate from your true being. It’s impossible to be apart from it; it’s
