Bogus Human Identity

When you are born, you are already complete, meaning everything you need to function in nature, nature has already delivered with you. But humans add a name to you, an identity. This identity is bogus because somebody has made it up and given it to you. Moreover this identity is arbitrary because the same person could just as well have given you any other name. Also, it makes no sense to believe…

In this post, we will talk about how you can start your own journey. It would be easier for you if I talked about the whole scene using some analogy you are already familiar with but be very careful. You are not…

Your Life is Formed Unconsciously

Your Life is Formed Unconsciously

I talk briefly about the story of my life that ultimately lead me to meditation. I was born in 1979 in a regular family in Shiraz, Iran. You know about regular families. Every family has its own issues. I suppose there is no family where everything is ideal. That is mainly because different people’s ideals are different. Two different people will feel about the exact same conditions completely…

Football is Invented to Divert You From Your Real Life

Football is Invented to Divert You From Your Real Life

That is what you are doing everywhere. You love football. You don’t play – there are professional players – you watch. You become identified with a certain team of football players and you are so excited, as if you are participants. Just look at the crowd in a stadium. Thousands of people are excited, as if their life and death is in question – shouting, screaming, throwing their caps, their…

There is Nothing Wrong With Achievement

There is Nothing Wrong With Achievement

In one of my previous posts I happened to talk about achievement. It was about the story of a man who conquers the whole world and after death gets to engrave his name on a mountain made of gold where all the other successful people got to write their names. The mountain is somehow a catalog of all the very highly successful people that have existed since the beginning of time. As you have…

Story of Achievement

In this post, I am telling a simple story about achievement from Osho. The story is very significant in many ways. In India, it is believed that if somebody can become the emperor of the whole world, he is called a Chakravartin. To understand the word Chakravartin, note that the world Chakra in Hindi means wheel. It seems that in ancient India, to avoid unnecessary fighting and violence, a…

Re-configuring Your Nervous System and Mind

Re-configuring Your Nervous System and Mind

In this post, I will talk briefly about the connections you have made in your mind and how they influence everything in your life and what you can do with them. Before I begin, I make the assumption that you have done enough watching of your mind, body, thoughts, etc. so that you know where everything is in you. If you don’t know where your things are, then you cannot do anything with them. It…

There are different ways of solving psychological problems in the world. Some people read psychology self-help books. Some people go to experts, some do different techniques of yoga, relaxation, meditation and there is probably a thousand more ways. The problem with these methods is that they are quick fixes. The problem will come up in some other form again. Moreover, when you do something in a…

Finding Truth - You Are Already Special #28

Finding Truth – You Are Already Special #28

People “try” to be somebody special. Trying always ruins everything. When you try, you’re disconnected from the moment and move into time and space. In time and space, you’re a person. In timelessness, you’re consciousness. Consciousness is perfect. It has always been perfect. There’s no problems there. In time and space, being a human, there’s always imperfection and the imperfection is an…

Finding Truth - Inspect Your Beliefs #27

Finding Truth – Inspect Your Beliefs #27

Your beliefs are important because based on the beliefs you have, your mind makes decisions and based on those decisions, action is taken in the world. Your actions determine whether you and other human beings live in hell or heaven right now. So if you’re a compassionate person, care for and loving others, you won’t choose to hurt them. Naturally, others will not hurt you and the world becomes…

Finding Truth - Drop Ambition #26

Finding Truth – Drop Ambition #26

Ambition is for those who cannot understand their elementary school simple arithmetic. It’s very simple. There are seven days in a week. Every person, including you and me, dies either on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or some other day of the week but it’s not over seven days. And you always have at least 300 years worth of problems to solve. In seven days, you could not do such a thing. It’s…

Finding Truth - Learn Life's Logic #25

Finding Truth – Learn Life’s Logic #25

The way humans are living now is more like living in a dreamlike superstitious world. Humans have ignored reality almost completely and chosen to create their own dream world. You can do that in this universe but it brings you a world of pain, eternal dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Moreover, living that way, you’re bound to destroy your own home because you know nothing about it. You’re using…

Finding Truth - Get Out Of Domination #24

Finding Truth – Get Out Of Domination #24

Domination is a stupid game that all humans play. It’s stupid because it wastes your life. The few days that you’ve got on earth could be spent on better things. In the game of domination, you’ll never win. If you win, you’ve given your life and sanity to the game and what have you achieved? You’ve dominated a simple human being. It’s not a big achievement at all and you’ve paid for the game with…

Finding Truth - Don't Go After Money #23

Finding Truth – Don’t Go After Money #23

Don’t go after money means don’t be a slave to money. Money is something that is required for life but you don’t have to chase it. It’ll evade you if you chase it. It’ll slowly follow you if you’re not psychologically attached to it. Nature does not like neediness.  (more…)

Finding Truth – Live Totally #22

You don’t know how to live because you know too much. There’s your culture, other people expect impossible things from you, you have your career, your loans, your social responsibilities and the list goes on. You plan everything but never plan living.  (more…)
