Knowledge could probably be ignorance masked. I tend to analyse a bit too much, often finding meaning where there is none. Interpretation is fine, but what if it is a real interaction and one is enlightened only to realise the intent was far from it? Is enlightenment a way by which we affirm...

On the Pathway…But, To Where?
It’s today’s buzzword, isn’t it? Pathway…Journey…People speak quite frequently these days about being on the path…or, on the journey.

I find Mark Nepo's thoughts so inspiring. His devotional today inspired the following insight.

If you must struggle to awaken, you won't. Salvation, enlightenment, awakening - it really does not matter what label you wish to give it - to wake up to who you really are...to your spiritual oneness with Life itself, takes no effort whatsoever. You are awake already.

Want Enlightenment? Salvation? Freedom?
It's infinitely simpler than you could ever imagine. And, it will take a lifetime to unpack.
Here's how - Practice Stillness.
As Nepo expresses it, and only as Nepo could, "Make a deal with yourself: trade five facts about how to live for one hour of...
