The more one lives with the pulse of desire, the more the mind becomes radiant
The more one lives with the pulse of desire, the more the mind becomes radiant—a magnificent symphony woven from the primal chords of passion. To live fully with sensuality is to live fully with creativity, for sexuality is not merely an act, but a yearning—an endless curiosity to explore the mysteries hidden within. It is not just a blending of bodies but a journey to discover the mysteries concealed within our very existence. The skin, the delicate parchment of the soul, is not just a bound...

On the day
On the day she received a scholarship abroad, I felt a bit disappointed. I messaged back: "You don't even like France, do you?" "Then I like it now!" she replied, adding a laughing emoji. I didn't know what to say. Well, we had broken up, so what was the point of lingering? On the day I saw her off at the airport, I went to her side. The apartment I had left a year before still felt strangely familiar. She took Lắc - our cat - to France. That was also what connected us. "Two weeks, I'll pick ...

WHY DO WE NEED TO PLACE OURSELVES IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS?
WHY DO WE NEED TO PLACE OURSELVES IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS?Diogenes, the Cynic philosopher, was exiled from his hometown of Sinope because his father, a mint master, was accused of debasing the coinage. After his exile, he moved to Athens where he criticized many of the city's cultural conventions. He used his simple lifestyle and behavior to critique social values and institutions, which he saw as a form of "false moral currency." Diogenes scorned the need for conventional shelter and co...

YOU ARE LOVE
The strongest barrier to experiencing stillness is judgment. The mind - following its stubborn value system - always judges the consequences of an action (or series of actions), whether it's right or wrong, good or bad, should or should not. Like when a child hits another child, and you immediately get angry and scold them: "Why are you being so naughty, you shouldn't (aren't allowed to) do this!" But you don't take the time to be understanding, compassionate, and filled w...

THE THREE DISCIPLINES OF MARCUS AURELIUS
THE THREE DISCIPLINES OF MARCUS AURELIUS Why are we here? How should we live? How can we ensure we are doing the right thing?

All these questions can be addressed through the doctrine of Marcus Aurelius's Three Disciplines in his book "Meditations." Almost two thousand years since Marcus Aurelius penned th...

Are you feeling lonely because no one understands you?
Are you feeling lonely because no one understands you? When you start living differently and transforming your life, some people won't like it. That's normal. You will lose friends. People you thought would always stand by you will start talking about you. They will call you crazy. They will call you boring. They will stop inviting you out. It's similar to many of my students who, when they begin to share their professional expertise and views about their work on social media instead of just ...
