Woke up this morning
I woke up this morning.
But am I truly awake?
People often say that it’s time to wake up from delusion and to let go of the material world, but the battle is long from over. It sounds simple but needs to be applied to every waking moment of our lives. Many times we don’t even know that we’re being trapped by delusion - the first step is to wake up - the next step is to make it...

Cats & mice
Cats, despite popular belief, do not hate mice. They are, in fact, drawn to mice as an agreeable foodstuff.
We often are attached to foods and people and places…think about all the aggression and violent tendencies that a pang of hunger or the inability to get something our way causes.
The same way a cat chases down the mouse and loses sense of everything else, our minds are lost by the...

Independent Spirit Awards
By far the most entertaining, heartfelt and uncensored awards show to date. I think the Independent Spirit Awards that aired on IFC had more F-bombs in the actual show than I have heard in films over a span of 5 years.
Brilliant in execution and though they leaned towards some of the more “famous” independent films - the show shed light to movies that I had not even been exposed to...

Radha (in relationship to) Krishna
Radharani is the representation of pure devotion. The devotee that expresses herself through love can have an informal connection with the Lord that will end in dissolution of the Self with the Divine. A union that is pure, beautiful and exemplifies the very meaning of the word Love.

Just wanted to let you know that the entire episode of Batman is totally NOT Zen. Just the part about his meditation technique.

Batman, a Zen superhero
Batman has always been a Zen super hero to me. So ordinary but able to do extraordinary things.
Is this not what spiritual aspirants are all about? He has the weight of the world on his shoulders yet he’s able to fight off everything. His weapons are knowledge, excellent discerning skills, a strong determination and good will.
While I don’t approve of the blue mask that Batman has in...

When you realize that darkness exists in your life, that proves two things.
1) You are missing light
2) You have eyes
Once you accept the darkness, His Guidance will help you reach the light.

Death & the Purpose of Life
vinit:
Death is a very interesting subject. Most everyone fears death consciously or unconsciously. It is unknown and so mysterious in many ways. On the other side though, death is the only thing in life that is certain. The time and location of death is a different story, but the fact that we are living means that we must die, sometimes much sooner, sometimes much later.
Why do we fear death?...

Sorry Lula
An open apology letter to Lula; the namesake of the vegan ice cream shop whom I told I wasn’t in the mood for ice cream today. Lula, I didn’t realize how badly you wanted to scoop the ice cream for me. I also didn’t realize that your auntie Blythe had told you specifically to scoop it for people like Hippie Lou and myself.
I promise to order some scoops next time in there.
