Problematic

The problem is not what you are doing, but the fact that you are not aware that you are doing it.

    Some people are aware and become a greater problem...they become contradictions to their awareness. Any insight on that? (Loving your blog posts!)

    If by "contradictions to their awareness" you mean self-consciousness or the ego commenting on awareness, then you are correct that we will end up creating more problems for ourselves.

    Pure awareness occurs when our observation of reality is without ego--when we observe things as they are, without judgment, without commentary, with total acceptance.

    This state of mind is rather difficult to realize. It takes hard work and a lot of practice.

A Question of Morals

Moral degeneration is a downhill slide. Moral regeneration is an uphill battle.

  • Jolted Awake
    Enlightenment is the shocking realization that you exist.
  • Growing Pains
    Suffering deepens the roots of our compassion and is as necessary for our growth as is the rain to the mighty trees of the forest.
  • A Tempting Offer
    The desire to teach other men how to live would be laughable if it were not so pitiable.
