It has long been attested by religious people that one needs a god to be happy or to find joy and love in life. The reality is far from this. The atheist can be as happy or even happier and have more joy and love than a theist if they recognize that happiness, joy and […]

Honesty Leads to Heaven
Being honest with yourself leads to a heavenly life experience. Lying to yourself and others leads to a hellish life experience. It is so hard to be honest, even with ourselves. Much of society teaches us to lie to ourselves and to others. We call this process ‘believing’ and being polite, but it is just […]
What is Love? How to Love?
On a search of Google adwords I find that those two topics each get 185 MILLION searches a month. I realized yesterday that those two questions are what I started looking for answers to thirty years ago. I realize now that I have found the answer to those question, found it to perfections, and so […]
I Love People
I have not always loved people. In fact there was a time I wanted to be a forest ranger just so that I could go off and live in a forest in a cabin all by myself, never having to deal with people. I outright hated people. I am not saying that I hated this […]

After finding some degree of inner peace and the clarity that comes with […]
Beyond Nonduality
I went to talk by a nonduality teacher this week. He was pretty good as nonduality teachers go (I have heard many teachers of the nonduality persuasion talk and ply their trade). I have studied the teachers of old who started the modern nonduality movement, I even meditated on Ramana’s bed in the ‘cave’ in […]
Loving Bullies
I love bullies, and that is why bullies have no power over me. Bullies are people who have learned how to bully by being bullied; they are hurting too. What they seem to want is for others to hurt as much as they are hurting, or to show them how to stop hurting. A bully […]
Could Monsanto Be Right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAL_AMdMXqY&feature=share This is a real good short documentary. Did you know that Monsanto has a product out there that is GMO designed to make people infertile? If you eat this GMO food you will no longer be able to make babies. I find that very interesting and in a way good. Only the ignorant people […]
