The unencumbered spirit

  • Self-healing

    The first step towards self-healingis to soberly examine what sits right in front,without any preconceived assumption.

  • Bond

    Remember.It is love that binds people,Not their possessions.

  • Understanding Surface vs. Deep Change

    There are two types of change. The first type is a surface level change. It’s an outward change like changing your physical appearances, your relationships, or living environments. Though such change might bring you temporary satisfaction as it seems to meet your needs to some extent, it doesn’t usually have a long-lasting affect. This is…

  • You are not who you think you are

    I was reminded today a profound quote from William James: Whenever two people meet, there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him, and each man as he really is. This is a great reminder that neither your own self-concept or others’…

  • The Healing Power of Nature: A Journey Within

    I believe nature has a way of healing us. When you go outside and completely immerse yourself in the beauty of nature — no matter if it’s relaxing mindlessly on a beach, wandering aimlessly through a forest, or just sitting silently by a stream — it almost feels like a transcendental experience, where the weight…

Your every thought, emotion, and action is the universe perceiving itself through you. Therefore, you have literally the entire universe…

  • The existential ache of life

    Change is inevitable. Sometimes the people we love and the things we cherish fade as we enter a new stage of our lives. It hurts sometimes. I don’t think anybody can get through it without an ache in the heart and a wound in the spirit. This existential tragedy of life seems cruel as no…

  • Love your shadow

    The shadow isn’t your enemy.It is the catalyst that breeds light.And that light you see isn’t borrowed from outside,but the flaming spirit within you that never stopped burning. Every time when you choose to feel instead of numb,To question instead of obey,To confront instead of retreat,You carve a crack through the darkness,And send a message…

  • Do not pursue happiness

    There is an interesting paradox in life. On the one hand, it seems what everyone is seeking ultimately, is a sense of happiness. While on the other, happiness is not simply a goal that we can just achieve. For happiness doesn’t just descend upon us when we call for it. Reality is always crueler than…
