Belief Structures
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 27 April 2005

Our belief structures define who we are and how we interpret
the world. They are our point of view and allow us to view the
world through rose-colored glasses. We adjust the external
world according to our beliefs. Beliefs are our world, and they
are us. Hence they are very powerful and have a great impact
on us.

Conservatism
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 29 January 2005

We are conservative by nature. We tend to enclose ourselves.
Some of the fences we build are physical and more tangible,
while others are more abstract. We want to protect ourselves
from the outside world and its renewal.
External fences are easier to conceive. They have many
faces, from muscle building to creating physical security
measures, all the way [...]

Trapped in a Box
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal, Poems on 27 January 2005

Within a shelter,
Covered in a case,
Limited by boundaries,
Extended by nature.
Trapped in the illusion,
Bewildered at times,
Lacking the courage,
Bravery, and persistence,
Of final breakthrough,
Transcending for the unknown.
The common is the bliss,
Misery, and sadness,
Of known and accepted,
Which horrific would be to lose,
And be replaced by something new.
To stretch the limits,
Ignore the lines,
Forget the [...]

Temporal
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 22 January 2005

Our life can be compared to a project. Projects have a begin-
ning and an end. Its definition states that it is not perma-
nent—it has a definitive life span. It starts, goes on, and ends.
A project has no purpose itself—it is only the means for
something. It has a purpose and it is used as the vehicle, [...]

Rightness
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 22 November 2004

Facts are very important on our time. We live surrounded by
lots of information and knowledge. Most of the data around
us is not wisdom but more or less processed bits and pieces of
information. We are bound to make decisions and jump to
conclusions every day. Our understanding and perception is
limited, but still we draw conclusions. We pick [...]

Money
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 15 November 2004

Money is just part of the framework. In itself, it is nothing. It
is only a convention between people. We have created the
concept called money in order to exchange and settle between
various activities and services. It is an enabler, not the purpose
itself.
Another way of defining money is to say that it is energy.
Notes and [...]

Opinions
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 10 November 2004

We are quick to have opinions about anything. Even when we
lack facts, we get strong feelings about things. We jump to
conclusions rather than consider carefully. Our mind works in
a manner that “forces” us to take sides. Undecided opinions
are not of much value, and you quickly “lose” the conversation
if the arguments are not clear and become [...]

Busy
Posted in Belief System, Business, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 9 November 2004

We claim to be so busy. What does it really mean, and is it
actually possible?
Being busy means that we are occupied at the moment.
Therefore, we are intensively carrying out the task at hand
and focusing our undivided attention to accomplish this task.
If we really are occupied and in a hurry, we need to concen-
trate [...]

Ignorance
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal, Poems on 3 November 2004

Way to see,
hear,
taste,
feel,
know,
and live the world;
With good intentions,
limited knowledge,
poor perception,
lacking observation
but still trying.

Without shame,
or humbleness,
knowing,
acting,
and behaving
with certainty,
rightness,
a sense of pride,
and justification,
no shadow of doubt,
or sign of imperfectness.

The wise will know,
acknowledge,
and let go.
Help with patience,
love,
and kindness.

We will learn,
and see the world,
in a way of perfectness,
with no trace of selfishness.

What We Know
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 2 November 2004

We are used to living surrounded by information. Our schools
teach us the value of knowledge and details. TV is full of
quizzes and competitions to test for cleverness. Education is
emphasized everywhere we go. Each morning and evening,
people learn the latest news. It is important to know what’s
happening and the topics of the day. But what do [...]
