She was perturbed. She thought the only thing that could protect her was her prayers. He thought that her silly superstitions and worries would fade away. She had the ability to survive any circumstance, especially when left without a choice. She had the endurance and resilience of a good human being. She wanted to start […]

Listening to the soundless voice
External form has no alternative but to express inner beauty. At first sight, the world may appear to collapse when “perspective” collapses, a frightening experience with fascinating results. If truth be told, it is often most wise to stay clear of one’s own mind’s machinations. A sincere seeker’s movement is a right move to the […]
The purpose of religion in human life
What I have personally experienced and observed is that the purest and most adored knowledge, poetry and artistic creativity have been inspired by signs from the divine. When we look deeply into western philosophy, we often find that individuals have, in essence, re-processed religious texts using different words, thereby removing the core of the divine […]
Love is the only sane alternative
Unconditional Love is two souls threading into each other, deeply and tightly, forever. Conditional love is a form of enslavement. It is a dehumanizing experience for the self and others, depriving individuals of their humanity. It is ugly and brutal. It is violent and cruel. It is an oppressive type of love. It is like […]
The voyage through the prism
It was fate that led us through desert sands In full moonlight Where inspired dreams on mountains Floated us toward distant stars The poetry of my fate pierces through prisms of awakened souls, Triumphant in the language of souls in the presence of true witnesses The whole world has become a place of exile in […]
The world is a place actualizing our humanity

We need to change our view of life
At times we may feel saddened, baffled, confused, and genuinely not know why certain things happen to us. We may push ourselves so hard for a few days or weeks, or even months, like an animal fighting for the right to its nature, trying to break free, to break things up completely. As a result, […]
Open minds will listen and learn truth
Truth is truth, whatever its source. Since 9/11 there has been some wild stuff said about Islam and Muslims, dangerous when digested by the ill-informed. There is too much misunderstanding about the Middle East by Westerners and there is too much misunderstanding about Westerners in the Middle East. Both situations are dangerous. Reality consists of […]
The most damaging and unethical act
In every age -regardless of time and space- there are a few souls who can speak from the heart and whose commitment to bringing-forth truth provides transformation, not only to themselves but also to all those who are influenced by their thoughts. It’s important to know how to take only what we need at any […]
Combating The Herd Mentality
Friedrich Nietzsche wrote about the difference between the slave mentality and the master mentality, arguing that the masses display a herd mentality dictated largely by prevailing views of the relationship of the individual to society. This is the essence of the slave mentality and stands in sharp contrast to the mentality of the Ubermensch (“Superman”), […]
