Lost in time; found in space

Through time, the World, the people and the always civilized society has seen all the faces behind that beautiful yet so ugly mask. If time spoke someday and we all become patient listeners, we will definitely have no place to hide, because we have made it so obvious, in a nutshell we lie to ourselves. Philosophy, History, our origins have been molded in such a way that time itself speechless.

I was reading the newspaper the other day and there was one article that spoke about  "talking plants " and then i thought to myself are they really writing this. Are we (Human Beings) the only species that communicate with one another ! Do animals and plants talk ? They do more than we understand. There is no substantial proof of it but has everything to be proven. Can somebody, anybody for that matter prove love, hatred, feelings, emotions, Guess not ! Anyways coming back to the article i was talking about. The Holy Book of Sikhs Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji which goes back to the early 15th century to early 17th century said that plants can communicate, Terrence Mckenna also said the same thing but there was no way to prove it, now that they have found a way to calculate it and put it on the paper that plants can communicate, hence its proven!

Ancient civilizations, cultures whether mythical or not said that plants were there allies, healers, shamans, teachers but nobody gave a shit about it. Now the scientists are talking and giving away facts, we have proved it, its there. But it was not until they realized.

All civilizations or cultures modern or ancient have used some kind of shaman/teacher/healer/ ally, to know there higher-self. The pursuit of knowing oneself and connecting to the source does not apply anymore, we are more like those zombies who eat, pray and work, we no-longer connect with selves, we didn't have time to do that. We have been mis-guided so very well that there is almost nothing we can do about it, even though we know that something is missing in our lives ( the inner peace ) is no longer available. Our truth-seekers, our philosophers, our priests, our healers are in a dilemma, the luxury of materialistic aspects struck mankind so hard that our ancestors lived in an illusion, they lived a mythical life, well Rome wasn't build in one day, Pyramids are still standing the gaint olmec heads still remain, how backward and illiterate can our ancestors be, how arrogant, how egoistic bastards of us to call them mythical, illusionists---- we have mastered the technique of lying to ourselves, we really live in a denial.

Sometimes i think that it is better to walk-away from all this, but then again what difference will it make, i will disappoint a couple of souls and make none happy. But if you really gotta do something about it, then you gotta pull yourself together and do whatever you can to spread the truth, the happiness, the lost peace and love. 

 One day we all are going to get lost in midst of stars and turn into cosmic dust.

What really matters !



“Be content with what you have; rejoice the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”


I often asked myself what can i possibly own, a car, a house or a fat bank account or may be all of them, but what will i do with them. Travel in a car alone, stay at home, or spend
money shopping, i am not built that way. I like to keep all my possessions in a backpack. I am 24 years old and there is not much that i owe besides my laptop and some traveling gear and some clothes. Most of my friends have jobs, nice phones, lives and routines and sometimes it bothers me ! And i feel like a giant failure walking on a path to nowhere. I start to think that how i've let myself and my family down. The fact really troubles me and i get depressed and start sulking in, until my mind screams, this is what makes me happy, this is what defines me, this is who i am. Whatever i have learned, whoever i am today is because of the choices that i have made.

Crossing over from the world that society expects you to live to one that is unconventional takes time. You have to train yourself to let one go and the other one in. Slowly slowly. The more you start to live life in its present state, the more you’ll start to understand that this is the only way we should be living and the only way that creates meaning in our lives. The stuff tends to fade into the background and you’ll realize just how easy it is to walk away from it all. Suddenly the smiles and the love is all that matters. It’s nice to have the nice things as well, and you can still enjoy them when they come into your life, but you are not a slave to them anymore and you can easily let them come and go.

Many of us spend so much energy and time trying to protect our identity in order to feel a sense of existence – our bodies, our memories, our ideas and inspirations, our relationships with others, all the material things we have: a house, a car, a company, a job, some money… etc. So much fear is based on the fear of loosing our identity; fear of loosing our “selves”, fear of loosing the reference point, fear of letting go of control. 

The truth is, we don’t own anything in the very first place. It is only the appearance of owning, a false identification or sense that we are separated and alone, an unnecessary need to protect some illusionary fantasy.

Yes, it is scary to let go. It is scary to the mind. The mind is afraid to face the obvious fact that we don’t own anything in the beginning. The mind is happy with the little personal comfortable world that it has created for itself, where everything is familiar, repetitive, expected, and known. But there is a greater Will in play; It is forever, and is the only Will that is ever in charge. This life was never meant for ourselves or for the comfort of the ego; it is meant for excitement and adventure.  It is meant to be open and to receive the unending river of Grace. Beyond our little perfect world is a Universe that is spacious and timeless, that is infinite and eternal. And it is by turning our attention away from our limited identity that we can finally have our attention available for the greatest part of the universe, the infinite part of our true identity. 


It's easy  to accumulate possessions, but relationships and people are what matters.

Second-hand life in a second-hand world based on second-hand facts



I have been answering way too many questions, its just been a couple of months since i have been away from my home. Everything is not what it seems to be, we all know this hard fact of life. But when you self-realize it, the feeling is quite bitter. I have been working my ass off  so that i could save some money for my travels. I don't mind working, i enjoy it, it gets on to you'r nerves when you have to answer all the questions. Sometimes meeting complete strangers and finding yourself in an uneasy spot. You know that you don't have to be there, you know that you are not meant to answer that, but in a situation like this there is nothing much that you can do, retreat or may be surrender !! Time is the best teacher that a student can ask for, and if one is paying attention and acknowledging time there is never a moment when you will not learn something. This is my answer to every question that was asked to me.




Today we are living in a world where everyone is more or less satisfied. Man has all the comforts and everything he needs and does not need. There will come a time, however, when man will be prepared to throw off these comforts. luxury and comfort weaken the will and keep men under constant hypnosis. Alcohol and drugs are not as dangerous as man's total slavery to luxury. He cannot pull himself away from them. It is impossible unless he has become aware of something more than his parents and society could give him !



One of our problem is that very few of us have developed any distinctive personal life. Everything about us seems secondhand, even our emotions. In many cases we have to rely on second-hand information, in order to function. i accept the world of a physician, a scientist, a farmer, on trust. i do not like to do this ! I have to because they posses vital information and knowledge of living of which i am ignorant. second-hand information concerning the state of my kidneys, heart, lungs, i can live with. but when it comes to questions of meaning, purpose and death, second-hand information will not do. I cannot survive on a second-hand god. there has to be a personal word, a unique confrontation, if i am to come alive !
