Consciousness

Some of us are not mentally conscious, we act as though we are a mechanical toy, all wound up, ready to go. It’s all about feelings, we just want to feel good without an iota of responsibility. Life is not a crèche, we are responsible for our own actions. We have to let go of […]

Distortion

We notice that things are not what they seem but we practice avoidance, we would rather shake in our boots while shrivelling like a prune. Fear of castigation is what holds us back. Being alone frightens us, it casts a shadow that is reminiscent of death. Inaction is what keeps us chained to misery. © […]

Why do we need to be accepted? It’s our need for acceptance that creates all the turmoil in our lives. We need to explore who we are before casting a net that includes others. People sense our vulnerabilities and because of this knowledge they manipulate and exploit us. Do your homework and don’t get caught […]
