Who I am today is nothing like the man from yesterday, let alone the man from years ago. If I had an opportunity to meet my future self, I might not even recognize him.

Are You Poisoning Your Mind?
Posted in The Knife Cutting Edge on Feb 26th, 2009
How many of you find yourself worrying about things that are beyond your control? I know I am guilty of this all the time, even though I realize the futility of the effort.
What about feelings like jealousy, angst, or even malice? Have you ever found yourself caught up in a torrent of emotion that seems [...]
You Can Never Fill the Hole
Posted in The Knife Cutting Edge, suffering on Feb 5th, 2009
Do you live with a panic deep inside of you? You might not even know it is there, but you can probably feel it. It drives you to continually find new ways to improve yourself and to better your life. It drives you to eat more, drink more, or spend more money. You keep trying [...]

They Don’t Own You
I’ve written often on the topic of dreams and returning to childhood innocence, but I have been feeling like I haven’t really said everything I needed to say. Then recently, when I found a new blog called The Illumined Mind, I read a post that really touched on some things I have [...]
Multitasking Divides You

Reclaim Your Mind
We live in a world where we are required to perform hundreds of tasks by hundreds of people on a routine basis.

The Dharma Foundation
I’ve been a Buddhist/Christian/Sufi/Tao/Zen Disciple for probably 10 years now. I can’t really say what drew me to spirituality other than a deep unshakable calling inside of my very being. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t feel the compulsion towards a higher force and I can’t recall a time that I [...]

Living Your Dreams
In the last two parts of the series, I talked about eyeing the world with innocence, and keeping hope alive. In the final installment of this series, I’d like to talk about keeping your dreams alive. Now, nowhere in the manual of life does it have to say that you have to reach [...]

A World Full of Hope
Image by Evelyn Arthur Richman
In Part 1 of this series, I wrote about seeing the world for what it truly is, which is full of magic and wonder. In this part, I’d like to move on to the topic of hope. I believe that there is far too little hope remaining [...]

A Sad State of Affairs
Sure, there has always been suffering in the world. For many it is simply a way of life, but for those of us more fortunate, it should be seen as a wake up call. Several posts ago, I wrote about Struggling with Desire, which to me refers to getting caught in [...]
The Problem
What do you do when you don’t feel you are spending enough spiritual time with yourself or God and yet you have external limitations that are holding you back? An example of this could be that you would like to go on a retreat but have work or family obligations. Maybe you would like [...]
