Total Acceptance
The title of this blog post could be a bit misleading, because, if truth be told, I believe in limited total acceptance. And I’m not trying to confuse anybody here, either. In theory, total acceptance is a wonderful idea- a part of the Buddhist tradition that I can fully embrace. The idea that one should […]
A World Without Labels
Try to imagine a world without labels: I know, it’s not so easy. We are so accustomed to putting everything and everyone in a little box. But let‘s think what labels really do: they are a convenient way to summon various stored ideas about a person or thing; in a way they help organize our […]
Ego Alert
There is so much talk and energy devoted to partisanship these days. No matter what you believe, it seems that partisanship rules the day- and the substance of the beliefs seems less important than the fervor/anger/self-righteousness attached to it.

It might be as easy as giving yourself permission. This might not be as simple as it sounds, because so much of your […]
The Infusion Principle
“The quality of your experience in anything is determined by the quality of the energy you infuse into it.” That’s my quote hahaha. It is a concept that came to me over time through observation and experience. Funny enough, I first noticed this principle with my car. Always a car buff, I chose my current […]
Beyond Time and Space
I don’t want this blog post to come across like some surreal, otherworldly piece set in the twilight zone! So I want to make some things clear: 1.
