But let’s forget about all of that for a second! What is sex? Sexual intercourse, for a lot of people (and most […]Read Post ›

Nonattachment and Detached. Seemingly similar words with completely different meanings. We will explore the story behind each word and how they relate to each other, while somehow still representing opposing philosophies. Not much fluff in this one, here we go!

Conscious Problem-Solving

Advice is sought often but rarely followed. Why is that? Why do we continually ask for help without ever making the effort to follow through?

The Art of Flow

Flow. It’s such an indescribable word, for it describes the motion of everything. Our Universe is constantly in motion, as it is composed of purely energy.

Bringing Burning Man Home

Make Each Day Brand New

Bold title, I know. But that really is the quintessential achievement for humans seeking self-improvement. What am I saying? Basically that if we are able to take each day, and make it a complete and wonderful adventure that we have never experienced before, then we have succeeded as living beings and will enjoy the rest […]Read Post ›

Protection from the Frowns of Fortune

“Never take things against the grain, no matter how they come. Everything has a smooth and a seamy side. The best of weapons wounds if taken by the blade, while the enemy’s spear may be our best protection if taken by the staff. Many things cause pain that would cause pleasure if you regarded their […]Read Post ›
