Arrogance, Humbleness, And Healthy Self Confidence

January 7, 2012

I have a very high self-esteem bordering on arrogance. Sometimes I *am* arrogant – either on purpose, as a joke or because at that point it feels more empowering than trying to be humble – or, less and less often nowadays, when it’s not appropriate for me.
During what I fondly remember as the worst year [...]

Your Greatest Fear

January 3, 2012

Back when the internet was still kind of novel and people still made HTML websites – remember them?, I had one – I thought that silly little flash animations were the coolest thing. (They’re still cool. But there’s even cooler stuff out there now). For some obscure reason I still remember this one, which talks [...]

The British Moment

January 2, 2012

There’s a sort of peak experience which I think is mostly peculiar to British people. I call it the “British Moment”. It’s a physical set-up, and an internal and spiritual attunement, which allows us to experience a level of intense coziness that literally transports us to a transcendental place beyond the fabric of our very [...]

Using A Lucid Dream For Personal Exploration

December 31, 2011

I had a cool lucid dream this morning, or midday, somewhere in between 11:00 after my morning class and 2 PM. (Note: a lucid dream is when you realise you’re in a dream while you’re dreaming, and gain some control over what happens there).
It was “quite lucid” – meaning I had quite a lot of control over [...]

Channeling is a Skill

December 30, 2011

(This is a guest post by Tiago, also known as Bradshaw.)
When you want to learn something–anything, you will often spend years and years practicing and training before you’re able to do it with any degree of skill. The quantity and quality of time and energy you put into something usually determines how skilled and experienced you become [...]

Broken Hearted

December 29, 2011

However much I keep on making complex theories and conceptual structures to overcome my internal blocks with money, I keep on coming back to the same thing. To some extent I think I may have been dancing around this issue, not wanting to accept its full import.
 
That issue is this:
 
A feeling of being broken-hearted about [...]

What I Think Of 2012 (And Other End Of The World Scares)

December 27, 2011

Remember how the world was going to end in the year 2000? Except it didn’t and those who bought into that just conveniently forgot about it quite soon after. Now it’s going to end in 2012, but this time it’s serious because the mayas said so or something.
Fuck that.
I’m not a major channeller but I [...]

About Steve Pavlina Taking His Forums Down

December 25, 2011

I have two articles written and ready to post, but I don’t want to post them yet. There’s something that’s more time-sensitive I want to post about. Even though this post won’t really go stale, I feel like talking about it now when it’s still fresh on people’s minds. That is, the whole thing about [...]

Being Vegan Without Being Self Righteous

December 19, 2011

 
I’ve been questioning my own beliefs as a vegan recently.
I haven’t changed my diet. I’ve thought briefly about changes, but I think just for the sake of doing introspection it’s not worth it. If it’s a strictly internal change I want to make, I don’t need to eat meat to prove a point.
The main things [...]

What Is The Meaning Of Life?

December 14, 2011

Q: What is the meaning of life?
A: Douglas Adams famously said “42″ because from a certain perspective the question is absurd. The thinking mind cannot find an answer: we seem meaningless reproduction machines who need a sense of meaning because of some glitch in our biological programming, or something. But the thinking mind isn’t what [...]
