  • Clear takes. Plain old truth. Right in front of you. Not playing dress-up. How frontal and unpleasant! Consider this the first phase of the intervention.

  • Looking for an objective point of view. Seems a common-sense need in a world where it's not just all you. But when do we ever face our cognitive distortions β€” examining ourselves, owning up our fallacies, seeking for true clarity? We weaponize objectivity to deconstruct what we don't like. We deal with "what is" only in face of insurmountable pressure from actuality. Read more...

  • Emotions are a powerful force in our lives. When this potency becomes our sole truth and director β€” and worse, when it stems not from reality β€” we are driven off balance as a whole, we leap into tunnels dictated by our feelings. Unhinged feelings destabilize your inner world. You become vulnerable to manipulation β€” triggered in favor of slanted agendas. Read more...

  • If you have no principles β€” you have nothing at all. When you bend before lies, subscribe to illusions β€” the entire foundation of your cognitive mesh is compromised.

  • If it's worth doing... It's worth doing well. Work diligently with full attention. You work not only for outcomes. You work to transform yourself. Each field of works β€” sites for your inner cultivation. Don't separate inner and outer work. If you cut corners and aim for a barely passing mark. Just to get the box ticked. You are sabotaging yourself. No peace and satisfaction from a work well done. Read more...

  • You take point and live with clear direction. Engage in inner and outer works. Your fields mature. Your harvest grows ripe. All that ever was, all that is β€” all that you were, all that you became. It must be reconciled and consolidated.

  • One vision for all of us β€” guided by our sameness β€” it's not a utopian dream. It's an evolutionary imperative. Unhinged drive for individual distinction leads to social collapse, eroding the fabric that keeps us tethered as a species. It's a matter of choosing the path for our convergence β€” into our fullness or into bucket clones. Read more...

  • When the mirror of your heart is clear, it fills with pure emotions. Pristine reflections of reality. When your heart is enmeshed in the illusions of your mind, the emotions you churn are troublesome and disconnected from "what is". Untethered emotions drive us into realms of chaos.

  • When it's all about "my dream" for a better world with highlight on "me" β€” our dreams compete. Even if they are so very similar. Stemming from the same underlying concerns.

  • We could aim to advance our common concerns on priority. Identify shared roots and set them to the fore. But we won't. Not because we can't. Because we just don't want to.

  • Is there an abundance of essence in this world? Enough to make all the ends meet, every true need fulfilled? Why sure yes. Nature provides in abundance. But we humans love to divert and exploit the streams β€” more for us, less for them. We keep our essences separate from the collective.
