Bad Medicine
Articles and discussions on the world of over-prescribing drugs to fix all ills. America is becoming more and more addicted every day, as MD's replace Priests and Mullahs for where we get our fix.

Eric Allen Bell commented on Christian Torres's blog post The Noble Eightfold Path"Although I have studied Buddhism for about 20+ years now, I have never become a Buddhist. To me the idea of organizing something around the mystery and attempting to turn it into a knowable form has always struck me as counter-intuitive. …"

"It is a story of accepting your karma without resistance. I don't think that means without emotion. Hakuin accepted his karma unconditionally when he accepted that tiny baby without hesitation. For a year that tiny creature was under his care.…"

Christian Torres commented on Christian Torres's blog post If You Really Pay Attention"Thank you Stef and I absolutely agree. It is listening with your heart that makes all the difference. It can be seen, felt. It is then that you and the speaker have entered a higher state of conversation/listening."

Meditation and Repression
People come to tell me about the strange states arising out of their meditations.
They expected mediation to bring them peace, and instead they find themselves facing inner tempests...

I'm Scared Too
Fear not my friends…
I’m scared too
Scared of not becoming all I was designed to be
Scared of my past failures popping up
and reminding me
that what I’m trying to be
is bigger than what’s inside of me
Scared of showing the other side of me
So I scream silently
Violently
tearing myself to pieces
Believe it, or not
I’m scared too
Scared of being a guiding light
Inspiring the dark to…

What is Spirtuality? 15 Replies
What would you consider spirituality? Is it a sense of self, or perhaps its a sense of our surroundings? I have no opinion in this, I would just like to hear your answers of what you consider to be spirituality.Continue

Your Own Personal Jesus 74 Replies
Anything a person says about the true intentions of Jesus are pure speculation. He never wrote anything down. NONE of us have any idea what he actually said, what he meant. You can make Jesus into absolutely ANYTHING you want to believe him to be. But that does not make it true. More people have died in his name than any other.…Continue

Inside of All Things There Is a Stillness 2 Replies
Up until fairly recently, I went through most of my life thinking about what I thought the world owed me and what I could get from it. Then a transformation began, one which is very much still playing out - evolving, and I experienced something of a shift in perspective.Without giving it much thought, my natural inclination has been to consider what I owe the world and what I can give it - as it has given me everything and always does.…Continue

Wishful Thinking: A Cheap Alternative to Inquiry 37 Replies
The newer popular alternatives to religion, that come in the form of new age spirituality such as "The Secret" are just as loony as the promise of heaven for the believer, and a lake of hellfire for the nonbeliever. This ever so intoxicating form of delusion is simply more escapism - a new belief system to impose upon reality, in order to avoid true, honest and courageous self inquiry.In this form of wishful thinking the egoic mind is "meant" to have whatever it visualizes and this gets…Continue

The Head, the Heart and What it Means to See 16 Replies
If a book guides you, my feeling is that such a book would not be as reliable a guide as love. Best to follow the heart, even foolishly at times, if one is to be a real human being. My heart tells me that the world is in a desperate state of crisis right now. I feel driven to stand up and do my part to try to lead where I can, and to reduce suffering where I can, and to never lose sight of the reality that it's not really me who is doing any of it. The human experience is but a fraction of who…Continue

The Jewel of Enlightenment 9 Replies
The Jewel of Enlightenment is hidden in the lotus. Sure. But it's also hidden in the BMW website and in the faces of all the starving children. The Jewel of Enlightenment is hidden at WalMart and in the heart of your worst enemy. The Jewel of Enlightenment is hidden in every star and in every subatomic particle. The Jewel of Enlightenment is hidden in plain sight. The Jewel of Enlightenment is You.…Continue
