I have wondered for quite some time how long it would take people to take to the streets. Now, we have a movement spreading throughout the nation that began with Occupy Wall Street. As wonderful as I think this is, there is an inherent problem with this movement. To put it in as simple terms [...]

The Rat & The Cheese

One definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result… Scientists did a series of experiments involving rats and cheese. At one end of a maze they placed a piece of cheese. At the entrance of the maze they put a rat. The rat would explore the [...]

Meditation-The Most Import Habit

From the time that we are very young and for the rest of our lives, we constantly receive an education in one form or another. Probably the most important thing that we are taught is how to survive. However, there are three areas in our lives where we receive little or adequate instruction. The first [...]

The Illusion

There is more to life than meets the eye. We are all familiar with the allegory “Plato’s Cave”. Plato lived a little more than 300 years before the birth of Jesus. There exists some similarities between their teachings. Some of this can be gleaned from his famous parable about the cave. This famous allegory is [...]

A pile of money is just dirty paper. You can spend it, but once you do it is gone. And here is the difficult part… Money is not supply or source or security! When we want money what we really want is security. And security does not come from anything outside of ourselves. We can [...]

Walking around the village they see the shops of all the people that work in this village. There are vendors or all varieties, plus soap makers, candle makers, rug weavers and every imaginable vocation that makes a village thrive. Now, before the young person could even consider finding someone to apprentice with, they have to [...]

Once upon a time, a long time ago there lived a young person. I don’t recall whether it was a boy or a girl, however, it doesn’t matter. They were young. Also, it may not have been that long ago, but it was definitely before now. Anyway, this young person, whether it was a boy [...]

No Individual I

Man has no individual I. But there are, instead, hundreds and thousands of separate small “I”s, very often entirely unknown to one another, never coming into contact, or, on the contrary, hostile to each other, mutually exclusive and incompatible. Each minute, each moment, man is saying or thinking, “I”. And each time his I is [...]

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, there was a king. This king was the ruler of an exceptional kingdom. The land that he ruled was beautiful and even more importantly all of his subjects were prosperous and happy. Everyone lived in peace and harmony and perhaps more importantly, they loved their king.

You must realize that each man has a definite repertoire of roles which he plays in ordinary circumstances. He has a role for every kind of circumstance in which he ordinarily finds himself in life; but put him into even only slightly different circumstances and he is unable to find a suitable role and for [...]
