Life is a game

Life is basically a game.  No one who takes it bloody seriously will ever find peace of mind. Those, who take themselves seriously, will be trapped by their ego for good.  The ones, who dare not play with life because of their belief in mortality, believe in death and dread it.  Hypocrisy, the demon of indispensability,...

The miracle of collapse

Your chances of survival in any situation and in any area of your life depend on your resilience.  Resilience means whether or not you can break down your attachments, your belief systems and change your habits.  This is difficult because your current habits have given you a sense of security.  Essentially, you have to break down...

So will you finally surrender? Or are you still suffering?

I’ve been thinking. Suffering is a product of my brain, my thoughts are rolled into an idea and because the Ego wants to protect itself at all costs, it projects suffering because that is how it can survive.

Since I left illusions behind…

Since I left illusions behind, the way I have been experiencing things is this: there is me who sees it all, all that is happening outside – but it doesn’t really touch me. I have sobered up.

Do problems make us stronger?

They say that problems make us stronger.  But I actually think that if you get stronger, there won’t be any perpetual problems that can’t be solved.
