Levels
Posted in Experience, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 17 October 2004

We are used to degrees. Our school years are based on num-
bered degrees. We live and breathe different steps and thresh-
olds. We have to qualify and learn the lessons before we are
approved to achieve the goal we are seeking. The same applies
to life as well; the scale is different and we can keep trying as
many [...]

Life
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Life and Death, Personal, Poems on 16 October 2004

Life is a moment, a declaration;
It puts us into a test,
of persistence and consistence;
It kindly teaches us the origin,
of who we are and what we are.
Life keeps us busy,
Let us find our way.
It whispers in our ears,
and shows us the road.
The journey is long,
we have to do it alone;
Often we are lost,
and the road [...]

Stop worrying
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Reality and Ego on 15 October 2004

Many times it looks like we live for our worries. They sur-
round us and follow us everywhere we go. There might be a
lot to worry about or just many tiny issues that pile up and
make us uncomfortable. Worries are always subjective and
they also evolve over time. We learn to cope in life and do not
stress [...]

Integrity
Posted in Personal on 14 October 2004

When are we most proud of ourselves? It is on those moments when we have done something ourselves that requires effort and hard work. The joy comes from our own notion that we have excelled ourselves. We did something that was hard or even unthinkable some time ago. And most of all we did it [...]

Humbleness
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Qualities on 13 October 2004

Our life is full of low and high moments. In the great
moments, we have a feeling of being in control and having
some special qualities. In the blue moments, we feel insecure
and imperfect. Usually we reflect our qualities and self-image
based on the activities and outcomes around us. We draw quick
conclusions and create causal relationships with the [...]

Time Travel
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Life and Death, Personal on 12 October 2004

It’s funny that we desire to travel through time. Besides self-
ish interest, what purpose would it serve? We are actually time
travelers all the time. Or should I say channel surfers?
We get carried away either by thinking about our past or
piling up with dreams of the future. These two activities take
most of our time. The [...]

Fair and Unfair
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 11 October 2004

Often we feel that we are treated unfairly or something hap-
pens that we do not accept as fair. What is fair and what is
not?
Life is neither fair nor unfair. It’s beyond the concept of
“rightness.” It does not judge or prefer anything or anyone—
it just simply is. How can we still feel that we are [...]

More Precious Than Gold
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Short Insights on 9 October 2004

We are used to valuing almost everything in our lives. Our
time and actions as well as the material things surrounding us
are measurable. Our days are spent talking, reading, watching,
and listening. We communicate and exchange information.
Our lives are stuffed with various kinds of data and material.
We are hungry for more information and we never seem to
get [...]

When We Are
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Meditation, Personal on 8 October 2004

When does all this suffering end?
When we only are.
All this achieving and doing, is it ever enough?
When we only are.
I’m trying to find happiness and joy in life—how can I succeed?
When we only are.
How to cherish every moment?
When we only are. [...]
