Why Is Art Dying?

Image
  God has been replaced by Google, Facebook, and the mobile phone. Nazism grew out of proportion. Monetizing—or profit—has become the most important goal. Wars are fought just so the corrupt elite can make big money. There is no space—and no money—for real art anymore. The Problem with Science and Categorization The idea that science wants to dominate every area of life is a joke. First of all, 90% of all scientific discoveries are either wrong or outdated within five years. Now they want to categorize music—to make it easier and more accessible, easier and cheaper to produce. The results are what we see (or rather, hear) today. Compare the music from 1960 to 1990, and you can easily see how pop music has declined. Techno music is more like noise—much like punk. Creativity is missing in a big way, and you see that everywhere. Even African, Latin, and Asian music is lacking in creativity these days. And the same is true for all the arts. Creativity Needs Play, Not Logic Sri Aurobind...

Bruce Lee Quotes

Image
  I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine. Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own. Don't fear failure. — Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail. I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times. Be happy, but never satisf...

Self-Sabotage is a Lie

Image
Every soul has a mission—and therefore, priorities about what to do. When we do the things our soul values most, those things are fun, and we operate at our highest efficiency. We don't need extra motivation. They fit us perfectly, and we can do extraordinary things. The more our soul dislikes something—or the lower its priority—the more motivation we need to do it. Eventually, we hate what we do and procrastinate. The first thing we should do is discover what our soul truly wants. And that is mostly not what our parents, teachers, or society want. The Trap of People-Pleasing We desire that everybody—or at least the most important people—love us. So we do the things that please the people we love, and we forget our life purpose. Or we admire others and want to do the same things—to feel better, to make more money. But we can't copy others. We have to live our life and do what our soul wants. What Self-Sabotage Really Means We start to self-sabotage or procrastinate when we are ...

How AI Is Destroying Your Brain (And How to Save It)

Image
  1. The Hidden Cost of Convenience AI is everywhere. It writes our emails. It generates our videos. It answers our questions. It even tells us who to date and what to buy. But here is the question no one is asking: What is it doing to our brains? The answer is disturbing. And it is already happening. 2. The Garbage In, Garbage Out Problem If you feed AI garbage, you get garbage back. AI does not think. It predicts. It averages. It recombines what already exists. If you ask a lazy question, you get a lazy answer. If you ask a shallow question, you get a shallow answer. If you ask a manipulative question, you get a manipulative answer. The quality of your output is directly proportional to the quality of your input. Most people are not asking good questions. They are asking the first thing that comes to mind—and then blindly trusting the answer. That is not intelligence. That is delegation to a machine that does not care about you. 3. The AI Consumer Problem: Your Brain Is Being Hij...

Help Me, I Am Trapped in Duality?

Image
  The Illusion of Separation Don't differentiate between the divine and worldly matters—or duality. We have a spiritual world and a mundane world. Many teachers teach that we should differentiate between the divine and worldly things. In the Hindu religion, it is called Neti, Neti ("not this, not this"). You should ask yourself: Is this thing divine or mortal? If it is mortal or worldly, you should think Neti, Neti. "This is wonderful, but it is not divine. It is temporary, changing, or observable—so it is not important. Let it go." And then you recognize that you are not the body, thoughts, or emotions. The Sufi Perspective In the Sufi tradition, we assume that everything is important and everything is created from God. Everything is good—until we learn from it. The greatest Sufi of all time, Attar, said: "If you differentiate between the divine and worldly things, you are not far on the inner path." The Bible and Awareness The Bible tells us that the...

Be Critical of All Gurus Who Don't Live the Truth

Image
  Because What You Don't Live Is Not Your Truth Introduction: The Hypocrisy Epidemic "Cursed are the people who have the truth and don't live it." You can only teach the truth that you live. Otherwise, you are a hypocrite. And the spiritual world is full of hypocrites. Part 1: The Fake Gurus of India In India, most gurus proclaim: Abstinence from sex Abstinence from drugs Abstinence from delicious food Then they have sex with their devotees. Then they take drugs. Then they eat delicious food—in secret. This is not spirituality. This is deception. Part 2: The Fat Monk Problem A healthy, real monk or nun should be thin. They should have discipline. Self-control. Mastery over their desires. How many thin monks or nuns have you seen in your life? For me—very few. Even the Dalai Lama is overweight. The Pope is overweight. Almost every guru you see is fat. If you cannot control your own appetite, how can you guide others to control their minds? Part 3: The Smoking Gurus Smo...

Quotes Ram Das

Image
  As we grow in our consciousness, there will be more compassion and more love, and then the barriers between people, between religions, between nations will begin to fall. Yes, we have to beat down the separateness. When the faith is strong enough, it is sufficient just to be. It's a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness, towards a kind of joy that is not in time. It's a journey that has taken us from primary identification with our body and our psyche, on to an identification with God, and ultimately beyond identification. You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don't have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success - none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here. Your problem is you're... too busy holding onto your unworthiness. Inspiration is God making contact with itself. Our plans never turn out as tasty as r...
