    and if he returned would you recognise him? would you know him? or disregard as just another mad man maybe you wouldn’t be wrong to. would you see him for who he is? or listen even if he told you what you didn’t want to hear? what if he told you that you still hadn’t…

    “The purpose of Buddhism is to create Buddhas, not Buddhists. The purpose of Christianity is to create Christs, not Christians.” – Adyashanti I would like to look at the life of Jesus not as a story about a man, but as an allegory, and instruction for self actualisation and a representation of the condition of…

    I was recently listening to an audio-book of some of Alan Watt’s lectures, and he highlighted an interesting parallel between a passage at the end of Dante’s Paradiso and a prime principle of the ‘Zen’ endeavour. The passage from Dante’s Inferno is given at the end where he is in presence of the vision of…

    Firstly, it is worth differentiating quantum superposition from Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle- the former representing the non-classical simultaneous occupation of two (seemingly exclusive) states, and the latter being a constraint on the measurement of a system or state. The most well known example of superposition is Schrodinger’s cat, but I think I can do one better.…

    I look at the story of Genesis- namely the description of the garden of Eden as holding profound insights into the most foundational geometries in nature. This story, no doubt, is a syncretism of other such stories and doctrines. We have the tree- a fractal; a form observed in all areas and scales of nature.…

    A water-drop upon-the seas of time.Perturbed; ocean waves, embraced:Eating its own tail -a snake.Self-reflected around-about-a mirror in the middle. A dream of a dream, and all else;The primordial song, a musical spell. A well-beam of light, held in place- single moment.Time chain-link in flight, intercausal foment;a wrestle with own substance, gnarled limbs in collaborative contest,…

    How to be a conscientious objector to a world from which I cannot be separate? I work, I earn good money…But I work for a machine that funds oil, mining, and weapons manufacture; all of which come at the expense of my fellow man and the planet on which I live. So what, then?Resign myself…

    Softly spoken-The great tale is told.Not with word nor whisper,But song-music of the soul. Lone rhythm, one of many-Self only known within,Awakens; this strange singularity,The great melody begins. Mind like a loose leaf (floating),Time but a gentle breeze,Reality a loose weave (tapestry unwinding),Existing only as it seems. As I’m sleeping- (dreaming),This strange delusion;Each to their…
