Process of Awakening
Describing the undescribable, from my experience as well as relating thoughts about Eckhart Tolle and SIddhartha Gautama.

The Infinite You
Living beyond the math of the mind that tries to explain life in a finite way. The rational mind is just that, for good reason, to deal with the materials world. But life is not just material, it is energy at it's foundation, which is why not being able to know and explain this may be the most...

What We Are
In contemplating human origins, and going beyond 'who' I am, I have come to realize the 'what' we are that explains how we evolved into a complex and ego-based self-consciousness. Knowing this can set us free, to connect more authentically and responsibly together, each of us living our 'who' to...

Life is simple
