In times of darkness, more people will come together first to commiserate, and then to heed a call to action. It is imperative, as Einstein informs us, not to find solutions using the same logic and systems that define the problems. Therefore, as Samaria Spiritual Warriors, we are obligated to do the inner work of self-transformation…

What feels, at times like these, so solid, stuck, and hyperreal, is in fact like a dream. Everything seems so solid and real, yet closer inspection shows us, “it ain’t so, Joe.” ‘Us and them’ way of thinking arises out of misunderstanding who we are. When we begin to appreciate this, walls and silos of the ego break down. As the ego is…

Greed has poisoned men's souls,

has barricaded the world with hate,

has goose-stepped us into misery

and bloodshed.

We have developed speed,

but we have shut ourselves in.

Machinery that gives abundance

has left us in want.

Our knowledge has made us cynical;

our cleverness, hard…

When people allow you to know about their pain and talk about it, take your shoes off. It’s a holy place.

Be humble, be kind when someone shows you vulnerability.

I’ve always longed to find myself in a place where neither noise nor drama exists. I’ve often imagined creating a space of my own, where silence and peace are the only things that truly matter.

Over time, I’ve built my own sanctuary of unbothered happiness—away from people, far from noise and drama. In doing so, I’ve realized that I need to step up,…

Shouting at others does not make our life quieter.

Speaking ill of others does not make people speak well of us.

And hurting others does not heal us.

The way that cutting someone else’s flowers

or depriving them of water

or shutting them in the dark

will not make ours grow.

We cannot expect…

I love listening to the rain pitter pattering on the hood of my coat.

I love watching storms dance around the sky from behind a window.

I love feeling the warmth of the sun when I’m sitting in the shade.

And I love hearing the waves crash against the rocks when I’m a mile away from the shore.

I love being…

'When our grief cannot be spoken, it falls into the shadow and arises as symptoms. So many of us are depressed, anxious, and lonely. We struggle with addictions and find ourselves moving at a breathless pace, trying to keep up with the machinery of culture.

Grief is subversive, undermining the quiet agreement to behave and be…

"Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving

But how can they know it's time for them to go?

Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming

I have no thought of time

For who knows where the time goes?

People often ask, “how can I be more compassionate?” This is not an easy question. From an eastern perspective, especially Buddhist, one follows the six perfections. Reflect on them daily and work towards them every day. Generosity or giving, physical and psychological support, including a smile. Being true to oneself, being honest,…

Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.

We need hours of aimless wandering or spates of time sitting on park benches, observing the mysterious world of ants and the canopy of treetops.

"There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live."

“I feel alive, here and now

I can feel the earth, pulsing inside

I can hear the spirits, chanting through my being

I can feel the plants

Travel inside, travel inside”

Practicing forgiveness lightens our load. It is not a matter of right or wrong. Simply acknowledge the trauma associated with our hurts, and release them. You have to try many times before you get some traction. Usually forgiveness is a solo activity. It is not placing blame. It doesn’t mean that the other person is “right” and we are…

What about this theory. The fear of not being enough. The fear of being 'too much', are exactly the same fear. The fear of being you.

Change is the natural way of things. That is why monks and nuns turn over their tea cup after drinking their tea. They don’t know which will come first, the next tea or the next life. Death is like tossing out a worn-out pair of clothes. When our body wears out, we take a new one. We reincarnate. Advanced practitioners actually…
