Hard Times on the Horizon! Florida has been hit hard by the housing downturn. At the peak of the housing frenzy, people from all over the world, legal and illegal, flooded into Florida, fueling the burgeoning job market. Banks doled out cash like drunken sailors to... ( added 1 day 11 hours ago.)

Loving and Hating Do you love and hate? If you do, then you are very normal. If you just hated, or only loved, there would be consistency, but when you do both, the mind finds itself in conflict all the time, and this produces stress. So if you want to find the... ( added 24 days 7 hours ago.)

People Ask Me, “Why Do You Meditate?” The mind is a curious thing. Oddly enough, it seeks security in such silly concepts as the past. But what if the mind learned not to do that? What if the mind trained itself not to seek security in the past and only focused on what was happening... ( added 30 days 3 hours ago.)

Dying to Everything As long as there is hope, there will be despair. As long as there is experience, there will be death. Yet fervently we seek both. Human beings are strange creatures. What creatures of earth aren't? For one thing, we eat each other. The child... ( added 34 days 17 hours ago.)

The Key (A Fairytale) - The Final Chapter (Part 6) A Promise To Keep One evening on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Ayatana, an old man in rags with one eye, leading a lame white horse, came upon an old beggar who lay dying by the side of the road.

Freedom Is What We Already Are When we strive to be free, when we try to release ourselves from the burdens that we have laid upon ourselves, we miss the point: we are already free . We simply forget that we are free. We forget by becoming bogged down in our difficulties, by... ( added 43 days 16 hours ago.)

The Key (A Fairytale) - The Final Chapter (Part 5) A Promise To Keep Suddenly, I found myself in a mist, and through the mist, I dimly made out what appeared to be a cave. As I moved closer, my perfected insight revealed exactly what it was the den of the Great Dragon of Atta. Three of the dragon's guards lie... ( added 44 days 15 hours ago.)

Images of Life Images. . . . What are images? None of our religions asks us to look into images, which would be a shift of consciousness. Instead, our religions reinforce our images. So, what are images, and why do we create them? More importantly, why do we... ( added 45 days 15 hours ago.)

The Key (A Fairytale) - The Final Chapter (Part 4) A Promise To Keep I resignedly went back to my training, somewhat relieved, but in my heart, I knew this whole episode with Weepasa was simply my mind trying to squirm out of the inevitable - the constant mindfulness he insisted would be required. In time, I was... ( added 46 days 10 hours ago.)

The Key (A Fairytale) - The Final Chapter (Part 3) A Promise To Keep "What now, my king,'" he greeted me sarcastically, his face expressing his obvious exasperation.

The Article from Hell I began as a normal type article, pretty laid back and entertaining, but then, suddenly. I found myself in hell! Well, I can tell you, hell is no place for a nice article like me, and I certainly did nothing to deserve it (hmm). At any rate, there... ( added 48 days 6 hours ago.)

The Key (A Fairytale) - The Final Chapter (Part 2) A Promise To Keep "Trying to change this I 'thought' requires trying to change something very ingrained," cautioned Weepasa. "It involves the destruction of 'ourselves' because this 'I', this 'Me' is mixed up with our every thought and emotion. We can never put... ( added 49 days 9 hours ago.)

Where Do You Escape to? If we don't like our job, our house, or if we are generally unhappy about our position in life, we naturally try to change our circumstances. When we are uncomfortable with any situation, we instinctively attempt to escape from it. We might feel... ( added 50 days 5 hours ago.)

Creating a Universe in Your Mind Scientists say that everything began in the emptiness of space when a pea-sized piece of intensely dense matter and energy exploded into what has become our universe. In the Zen Buddhist religion, it is said, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.... ( added 50 days 16 hours ago.)

The Key (A Fairytale) - The Final Chapter: A Promise To Keep (Part 1) "What is troubling my great king now," Weepasa inquired with a disinterested look on his face, as he carefully peeled a mango. "There are many things I have learned throughout my travels, but some of my questions have never been answered," I... ( added 51 days 16 hours ago.)

The Key (A Fairytale) Chapter 14 — Seven Days (Part 4) "There is only one way that my training can be taken to heart," Weepasa warned, "and that is if mindfulness is uninterrupted each wakeful moment of each day. Do you understand what I have just said? Each wakeful moment of the day! Initially you... ( added 52 days 16 hours ago.)

Get a Grip On Yourself! Okay, don't get a grip if you don't want to! You can wait until your life partner leaves you, your career goes down in flames, or your health goes south. But then it might be too late to get a grip; and you might end up going completely bonkers!... ( added 53 days 15 hours ago.)

The Key (A Fairytale) Chapter 14 — Seven Days (Part 3) When I entered Weepasa's room the next morning, he asked me to sit down. He wasted no time, and immediately began talking about insight: "Insight results from a concentrated mind that is aware of everything it comes in contact with, but it... ( added 54 days 13 hours ago.)

The Key (A Fairytale) Chapter 14 — Seven Days (Part 2) Finally, I knew that I couldn't jump and reluctantly made my way back to the old man's room and stood there in front of everybody, pathetically defeated. Weepasa laughed heartily, "Well, you actually do have some wisdom to go along with your tiny... ( added 56 days 3 hours ago.)

The Most Discouraging Things in the World A glass half-empty is discouraging, but not as discouraging as how misled people can be when a glass half-full is perceived as brimming over the top. War is discouraging, too, especially wars that seem to go on forever. It's as if the countries... ( added 57 days 15 hours ago.)

The Key (A Fairytale) Chapter 14 — Seven Days (Part 1) Conqueror, my mystical horse, was not getting any younger. He had lived well beyond a normal lifespan and I wondered how many trips he could still make. Was that old, robed man, who brought an enchanted colt to the Kingdom of Ayatana those... ( added 58 days 4 hours ago.)

Martial Arts Training — Balancing Mind and Body A very special kind of training is critical in martial arts because martial arts is about life and death.

The Key (A Fairytale) Chapter 13 — (Part 5) When The Dust Blows Away? " Everybody knows that you are here," he said, putting up a good front. "Killing me will do you no good."
