MAGICAL MINDFUL LIVING: FINDING JOY IN THE EVERYDAY

Intrinsic value of Sunsets. Living on top of a mountain has its own advantages and troubles. Getting clean water, sewage systems, and climbing uphill everyday are troubles. Occasional landslides on nearby hills might scare the shit out of everyone in the household on stormy nights. But, if these troubles are forgotten, the real value comes with sunsets and sunrises. Light will appear on your doorstep one hour before everyone else in the valley. You will get a bird's eye view

Example of a simple life. Let's analyze the character Leon. I watched this movie when I was almost a teenager. About Leon the Professional American Hitman and the little girl Matilda, a girl whose family was murdered by DEA. However, Leon reluctantly takes this 12-year-old girl under his wing, initially just to save her, but later he works as her "Hitman" to take out the DEA agents who took the lives of her family, including her brothers and sisters. It seems a tragic the way

Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese concept, of finding beauty in the imperfect, incomplete and impermanence world. The roots of the concept travel deep into Buddhist traditions and philosophy. Anyone who is in search of meaning of life would have understood that the nature by default is an ever-changing impermanent flux of energy and matter. It is really not necessary to chase behind what "matter" is and what "energy" is. We can call it even a universal soup, if you do not like the name

In top of a hill there lived an old monk. He had an old tea cup, which he used to make a cup of tea in every morning. It was such an antique old porcelain tea cup with decorations. One day a young monk who was travelling to the town, visited the monastery. He stayed overnight and rested. And following morning he was served with a cup of tea. While he was enjoying a cup of tea, he asked the old monk. A broken Tea cup That tea cup looks really old and really valuable. I wonder

Disclaimer: This is a philosophical argument. Neither about mathematics nor about reverse Engineering. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. If you have some background in intermediate mathematics, you may have encountered this theorem. It basically explains how the Derivatives of a function, and the integration of a function are the opposite processes. Let's look at an example for anyone who haven't encountered the theorem. However, understanding this is not essential to read on

Part 1 - the inside man. Imagine a man, in a house. While within this house he would know, everything inside of it. He would know the tables and chairs. He would know what pictures hang on the walls of his living room. He would know the smell and the color of his bedsheets. He would know people inside of it. Basically, he would move from one place to another inside his own house. Without disturbing anything. But re-arranging them for his use. Part 2- the outside man. Now cons

There is no coming to consciousness without pain." — Carl Jung "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." — Ecclesiastes "Consciousness is... the dagger in the flesh." — Emil Cioran "It is great pain... that makes us more profound." — Friedrich Nietzsche Pain of awareness Did you know?

What is Candlelight theory? I was lighting up some lanterns few weeks back, in our front yard. It was a serene full moon night. With a cloudless sky and dark silent atmosphere. There were minimal winds, perfect for some lanterns with burning candles. I lit up one candle and fixed it on the floor beside me and used it to light up all the other candles, around 40 in total. One by one they started to bring more and more light to the initially dark front yard of ours. Everyone lo

I realized yesterday, I am procrastinating on watching Netflix. I have 3 unwatched TV series and many movies to catch up and follow. I am below the level of their posting to watch everything I desire. Not that it is a race, but as life happens, I don't want to miss out on good stuff. That is partly why I keep each and every article of mine to a bare maximum 3-4 minutes. I just want to give a message, or a few seconds of entertainment, if I am writing a story or a poem. So, ye

This is just a list of ways to escape reality. You can choose or not choose whatever your preference may be. And please do not take these as any medical advice for your current problems. On drugs and Booze. This could be the bad way of escaping the reality. You and me can agree that reality can sometimes be too painful, too boring or too irritable. That we need to find a way to stop thoughts. Some, people even get depressed as they find no solution to their problems in curren

Why you should be a listener? The world is filled with chaotic noise. Most of the modern problems of Homo Sapiens are due to the fact, they are confused with this messy overflow of information. However, most minds, unless diseased is capable of figuring out the path, navigating through the chaos, when a clam and natural space is provided. I am sure throughout the working day, at least you once feel, overwhelmed and need of someone to talk about it. So, is everyone else. We al

Why magical to mindful living? I am not sure some may have wondered why there is "magical" to the mindful living. Mindful living is supposed to be about truth, reality and everything which is not abstract. But whenever I take this minful approach to life more and more I am convinced of the magical part of it. Life is a continous flow of abstract ideas, which have no name, but named after our ancestors. Do not believe me? I have just found the 100th example on the list ( rest

"A washing machine has never made any women Happy." Have you ever wondered why you hate sunday afternoons, where you always have to come back home for monday? Maybe you live alone, or you take care of the house. Then one essential origin of this uneasiness comes from the pile of dirty laundary overflowing baskets. Generally on sundays. And you would dream to see the bottom of it -Sky2035 , as it seem it never ends. And it reminds me of Francosie Sagan, the french screenplaywr

"Boredom is the Means and ways to Novelty and Creativity." What are the unusual places you get bored? I often Get bored, in usual and unusual places. Sometimes, I do not want to wake up from the bed. Going to work every weekday can be overwhelmingly boring, if you just have to put caps, on bottles, Or have to wait for a customer to arrive for you to sell something. But if you ask me, I will say I might get bored in a crowded party. When others drink wine and talk about variou
