Unconditional existence without any reciprocity is a true state
of happiness. This level of being is not affected by any exter-
nal circumstances or situations. It is a stable and steady condi-
tion, which can be achieved by inner practice and persistence.
It is a pure form of being—totally loving and peaceful.
Harmony and inner confidence are experienced within and
are [...]

Who did you meet today? What did you see? Usually we
answer these questions by mentioning the most significant
incidents of the day.
When we are out walking, we meet many people but only
a few of them, if any, do we remember later on. The same
applies with all the details and items on our way. Why do [...]

“I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” like the Rolling Stones used to sing. Still we are after the pleasures of life endlessly.
In a way it’s funny that we are after the image in our mind we have perceived in the past. We got satisfaction from an occurrence and now we cannot get it back. We have [...]

We are captured in duality. Space and time are our destiny. As
long as we are learning this lesson, we are under the role of
dualism. Life and death, day and night, good and bad. Action
and reaction. Everything we do or think causes a reaction—
and the action has its consequences.
As long as we have meanings and [...]

Our communication is mainly verbal—at least the visible one.
We speak, read, and think in words all the time.
Let’s get the basics sorted out first. We need conventions
in order to communicate with each other. In traffic, we use
traffic signs and lights to signal. We agree that some sign or
mark means something and then everybody gets [...]

Owning means that the owner of something has the right to
exclude others from using it and has a title to control the sub-
ject. How much can we really own and is ownership freedom?
Some time ago, I wrote about the concept of ownership.
Because of the current discussion in politics, it’s interesting to
consider the other aspects [...]

We like certainty. We would love to live in a world where
things are predictable. Or do we?
Our behavior seems to support the idea of predictable life.
We do not like to change, and we like surprises even less so.
We are comfortable with our ordinary lives and our daily rou-
tines and events. We feel that we [...]

Something fresh.
Anew.
Pure.
Innocent.
Fragile.
Its vulnerability captures its essence. Like a perfect cherry
tree blossom in the spring. It radiates its existence without a
shadow of doubt. It is now and may not be again. No shame
or fear, pure beauty.

“A characteristic of a primitive culture is that it regards itself as highly advanced.”
I heard this somewhere and I think it puts nicely the point which we seldom stop to think. If we look into past we can feel superiority to past centuries and generations. They were not as advanced in technology and wisdom and [...]

We need dualism to live and experience. The list of examples
is basically infinite: day and night, good and bad, dark and
light, male and female, healthy and sick, and so on. Without
the opposite concept, we would not recognize the difference;
all would be the same. And when there is nothing else, we
cannot imagine or appreciate anything else—it [...]
