Scholar: A scholar is "a specialist in a particular branch of study, especially the humanities, or a person who is highly educated or has an aptitude for study, or a university student holding a scholarship." While reading "The American Scholar", a speech and essay by R.W. Emerson, I felt like some of my own thoughts/feelings were expressed there. He wrote that the scholar has three main sources to learn from: 1. Nature The scholar sees nature in a superbly holistic way. He uses all senses and connects to the wisdom of the ultimate Source of nature while spending some quiet time there. To connect, to enjoy the sight, the sounds, the wind, the smells; it is so inspiring and so much wisdom and thoughts do come to us in silent reflection in nature 2. Books He started by going back to the wise man of old age. They could see, and discovered giant truths through direct contact with nature and the ultimate Source of wisdom. We got so enchanted by their ...

Robotic humans part 1 We may ask ourselves can human be robotic? Oh yes! Let's look into what the term robot means: Robot is a real or imaginary machine that is controlled by a computer and is often made to look like a human or animal It is also a machine that can do the work of a person and that works automatically or is controlled by a computer According to Webster dictionary Robot means; 1 a : a machine that looks like a human being and performs various complex acts (as walking or talking) of a human being; also : a similar but fictional machine whose lack of capacity for human emotions is often emphasized b : an efficient insensitive person who functions automatically 2 : a device that automatically performs complicated often repetitive tasks 3 : a mechanism guided by automatic controls Weren't we humans created in a similar way? Our small short lasting ego-pleasures to help us sustain ourselves and our species! Our great satisfaction, peace of mind and true...

Try To Love Have you been let down? Did you think you can't love again? Are you scared of love due to your experience ? Do not be control by your fear, it is the foundation of destruction. "Only when we experience love, we know for certain that love exists. We cannot see it, hear it, touch it, smell it or taste it, but we can feel it with our heart, we can feel it with our soul. We can experience also God, the love of our God, that is. All we have to do is to make it quiet, and tune in. If we just open our radio and do not try to tune in, to find the right frequency, the right wavelength, we only hear noise, nonsensical noise, noise that makes no sense. If we try to connect to God with utmost skepticism and disbelief, we will experience only noise and try to enforce our fixed narrow beliefs about spirituality. If we manage to explore the frequencies and wavelengths of gratefulness and forgiving, of silence, of prayerful reflection, we will tune in and suddenl...

What is forgiveness? Is it good to forgive? Forgiveness can be; : the act of forgiving someone or something : the attitude of someone who is willing to forgive other people We will look a bit closer at forgiveness. It is something we often refuse to do because we do not want to free the one who caused us harm (physical, emotional or any form) to be free of the guilt of hurting us. And it is true, somehow by forgiving the person, we set them free. But what we forget is that the person suffering most from our grudges, from our hatred, from our anger, is not that person that harmed us, but our very selves. If we forgive whole-heartedly, we do a favor to the perpetrator, but a 100-fold bigger favor to ourselves. We set ourselves free from continued suffering, from continued negative emotions. I heard recently a talk (online) by Michael Beckwith who proposed five steps of forgiveness: The first step to forgive someone, is to be willing to forgive. This is often the mo...

Introduction Spending all your time in other's opinions instead of building yours? Is your energy and effort spent minding other people’s concerns? I am not referring here to gossiping, rumour mongering or any such vice. I am referring to that thing that makes  people get up early in the morning, to leave their families and their homes and make a race through traffic like it’s the end of the world. That thing is what I call work. Specifically, it is also employment. Whether in the formal or informal sector it is the necesary activity in many of our lives throughout the world. It is a bad disease for most of us because deep down we would rather not be working for anyone else, but somehow we accept that working is the best. Once we are opportune to work at a particular firm or the likes and how salary is paid consistently we feel relieved, though only for a little while, that we have our needs met. After a short while the waiting starts all over again. We have to ...
