What heavenly delights awaits us this Christmas? A King’s feast? An abundance of expensive gifts? A chance to drink as much as what’s contained in a brewery? A chance to become the Karaoke King, or Queen, by participating in a good old sing-song despite having a voice like a bullfrog? Or maybe a time for joyful celebration amidst heated arguments over who gets the TV remote?
I say thee nay! Be wise, my friend and see Christmas for what it really is – which should be spent sharing precious time with friends and family.
Christmas should not be spent just on getting stressed and relinquishing the little money we have on meaningless stuff just to satisfy our guilty conscience. Read more…
I’d just like to open this post by asking you a question – how many of you out there know who Bruce Lee was? I think the answer will obviously be “everyone” because of his legendary status as the greatest kung-fu movie star (he would kick both Jackie Chan’s and Jet Li’s ass if he were alive today) ever to grace the big screen – he became a superstar after the release of the major Hollywood produced movie “Enter The Dragon“.
However, other than the hardcore fans I can hazard a guess that many of you may not know anything much about the real Bruce off camera. I won’t go into too much detail regarding Bruce Lee the man, but all I will briefly say is he was a totally driven person who strived for success in every facet of his tragically short life (died of a cerebral oedema aged 32).
Balancing between family life and finding time for oneself is a major challenge, especially when you have a 10 month old boy (not to mention the nagging girlfriend) demanding attention at every inopportune moment. But as I mentioned in an email to a friend yesterday, there comes a time when…
“…every man needs to be alone with his thoughts once in a while.”
This then reminded me of a video of a man who was alone in the wilderness, and who expressed his thoughts about his surroundings and life in general in conversation with himself.
The man in question was the late British philosopher, writer and speaker, Alan Watts (1915-1973).

The Eye of God
No, I haven’t all of a sudden become a religious fanatic overnight, and begun preaching the lord’s words to his wayward followers. In fact, I do not belong to any organised religion or follow any particular faith at all, but I do believe one can live religiously and can empower oneself to believe that they are God themselves so to achieve things in life that they could not have done otherwise.
According to the iconoclastic German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, “God is Dead”, which was meant to signify an end to a belief in a false god created by man himself. Before you religious people out there start wagging the finger, I’m not here to argue the merits/demerits of your faith or to debate if a god actually exists. I’m only here to express my opinion on what “God” psychologically can do towards motivating people to find their true purpose and to becoming autonomous productive beings. In other words, if one can say “I am God” spiritually, something which connects all of us into one consciousness, then this can provide a positive outlook in regard having the power to create a life worth living.
So here’s where the following question comes to the fore: What is “Truth”? In my mind, “Truth” and “God” are synonymous with one another, and as such cannot be separated when mentioned in the same sentence. So therefore, “I am Truth”, this omnipotent thing that rules our lives behind a veil of vagueness very much like “God”.
