Giving and Getting
We live in a society where we are taught that giving is better than getting. This is perhaps meant to cushion the fact that most people would be perfectly happy to receive a lot more than they give. The irony, of course being, that we can only give what we receive, and that giving in […]
Money as a Form of Love
Many people think of money as something corrupt. The reputation is there because of the lengths to which people will go to receive money, and not because of what money stands for in itself. There has been a confusion between means and ends. Money is a means, not an end. Money is not meant to […]
Archetypes and Love
All people, regardless of their gender, embody two opposing and complementing polarities. These polarities can be easily portrayed as male, the one that makes it possible for us to function and survive in the physical form, and the female, the emotions and intuition that guide us on our life’s journey.

Balancing Yin and Yang
Every person, regardless of their gender has two polarities. One pole is male, or yang, and the other one is female, or yin. The male pole is guided by action and the conscious mind.

Freedom in Relationships
All of life is about finding an equilibrium between opposing polarities. Most of our emotional struggles are the result of our inability to establish this equilibrium and to maintain it. We say yes, when we want to say no. We become submissive if someone else is domineering. We fall in love with someone serious and […]
Physical Laws of Consciousness
Skeptics who are keen on keeping science and consciousness apart point to an obvious fact. The fact that our universe follows certain physical laws. Walls are solid. Water is liquid. Fish cannot breathe outside of the water. If our reality was constructed by our consciousness, would not these laws be fluid and flexible? Would they […]
Understanding Karma
Both people who believe in karma and those who reject it often have a very childish understanding of the way that karma supposedly works. In this simplified view, good people get rewarded with a good life, and bad people get punished through a bad life. Concepts of guilt and judgement are at the core of […]
