Responsibility
Posted in Personal, Society on 24 June 2007

We like to have our freedom. It is great and fun to explore and extend our boundaries. We love to take the credit for our actions, but only selectively. Positive consequences are naturally ours to claim but what about the not so desired effects?
Freedom and responsibility go hand-in-hand—the greater the freedom the greater the responsibility [...]

Liberty and protection of the liberty
Posted in Blog on 16 March 2007

Our current societies involve a third party called government that is authorised to incur into any violent actions and force in order to protect its citizens. However just by watching the news it’s nothing new to realise that these powers are also used against the very people who give them to its agent, the state.
A [...]

I - Who?
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Reality and Ego on 26 April 2005

When you are angry ask yourself: Who is angry?
When you are disappointed ask yourself: Who is disap-
pointed?
When you are in need of something ask yourself: Who
needs?
When you are sad ask yourself: Who is sad?
Why is it that it is always the external world that is to be
blamed? And yet, all of [...]

Pride
Posted in Poems on 18 November 2004

Credit,
recognition,
consideration,
noteworthy,
but for what?
Something great and unique,
something noble and unselfish,
for a greater cause,
without any benefits or recognition,
for the one?
That’s something humble, opposite of pride.
Pride derives from lesser qualities
and needs for self-appraisal.
A quest for higher perception and
recognition for the actions,
deeds, that otherwise would be left
without a notice.
Pride is there where the subject
is more important than the object.
The [...]

Doing without the Doer
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Reality and Ego on 17 November 2004

Why is the doer so important? Or, to be more specific, when
is the doer important? In most of the cases, the performer is
relevant only when we are doing it ourselves. We emphasize
the subject more than the actual deed or the doing process. In
brief, when we are the subjects it is very important but when
others are [...]

Compromised Dumpster
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Mind, Personal on 14 November 2004

We are in the garbage-creation business. The products and
results are our own creation, and the consequences are observ-
able around the world. Most of the garbage is all in our own
mind. The dumpster in question is not a physical one in its
original form—its derivations can be, however. This huge
dumpster is called our mind. It’s the creator [...]

Patience
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Qualities on 31 October 2004

We are used to living in the world of instant action and
response. Each generation claims that the current speed and
flow of information is almost too much to bear. The stress we
feel, which is imposed by our society, the closest ones, and our
working life, is almost too much to handle. So what is all this
fuss about? [...]

Longing
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Separation on 26 October 2004

We live in a state of constant longing. The current moment
seems never to be enough. When we’ve reached one thing, we
immediately long for something else. The grass is always
greener on the other side. The main idea here is that we are
wanting: always and for something. But what are we longing
for?
Our yearning is a sensation [...]

Dual Life
Posted in Experience, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 25 October 2004

Our inner life is sacred and personal to each of us. Our exter-
nal life we share with the world. It is not obvious that they
can be in harmony and still enable the sought-for inner real-
ization. But it is possible.
History has given us examples of sacred people who lived
in isolated places and practiced their spiritual [...]
