You do not need to travel far to find peace. Come back to yourself. Feel your breath, feel your body, and recognize the life that is present within you. When you stop running and learn to rest in the present moment, you discover that you have already arrived home.
“The powers of the mind are like rays of light being dissipated; when they are concentrated they illumine everything. This is the only source of knowledge that we have.”
"You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life."

The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts explores the idea that our sense of being a separate, isolated individual is an illusion. Blending insights from Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and modern philosophy, Watts explains that we are not disconnected from the universe but expressions of it, like waves are expressions of the ocean. With clear examples and thought-provoking ideas, the book invites readers to question the ego, embrace interconnectedness, and discover a deeper sense of freedom, peace, and self-understanding. It's a timeless guide for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on identity, consciousness, and the meaning of life.

The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.
Samuel Johnson
Sometimes beginning again is not a failure. It is the soul recognizing that the life we were trying to force is no longer the life we are meant to live.
“The tragedy of life is not death, but what we allow to die within us while we live.”
“Realization comes through sincere practice, not mere discussion.”
"The Legend of the Goddess" by Om Swami is a tribute to the Mother Divine, the feminine energy that completes our existence ¹.

Stolen Focus by Johann Hari
In Stolen Focus, Johann Hari explores why so many people today struggle to concentrate, think deeply, and stay present. Rather than blaming a lack of willpower, he argues that our ability to focus is being undermined by powerful external forces—from social media and constant notifications to workplace pressures, poor sleep, pollution, stress, and the fast-paced design of modern life.
Drawing on interviews with neuroscientists, psychologists, and other experts, Hari explains how attention has become a valuable commodity in the digital age. He shows how technology companies and economic systems are designed to capture and hold our attention, making distraction a feature rather than a bug.
The book also examines broader factors affecting cognition, including childhood education, diet, environmental toxins, and chronic stress.
The first thing I want you to understand, if you really want to wake up, is that you don’t want to wake up. The first step to waking up is to be honest enough to admit to yourself that you don’t like it. You don’t want to be happy. Want a little test? Let’s try it. It will take you exactly one minute. You could close your eyes while you’re doing it or you could keep them open. It doesn’t really matter. Think of someone you love very much, someone you’re close to, someone who is precious to you, and say to that person in your mind, “I’d rather have happiness than have you.” See what happens. “I’d rather be happy than have you. If I had a choice, no question about it, I’d choose happiness.” How many of you felt selfish when you said this? Many, it seems. See how we’ve been brainwashed? See how we’ve been brainwashed into thinking, “How could I be so selfish?” But look at who’s being selfish. Imagine somebody saying to you, “How could you be so selfish that you’d choose happiness over me?” Would you not feel like responding, “Pardon me, but how could you be so selfish that you would demand I choose you above my own happiness?!”
A woman once told me that when she was a child her Jesuit cousin gave a retreat in the Jesuit church in Milwaukee. He opened each conference with the words: “The test of love is sacrifice, and the gauge of love is unselfishness.” That’s marvelous! I asked her, “Would you want me to love you at the cost of my happiness?” “Yes,” she answered. Isn’t that delightful? Wouldn’t that be wonderful? She would love me at the cost of her happiness and I would love her at the cost of my happiness, and so you’ve got two unhappy people, but long live love!
Anthony de Mello

In No Death, No Fear, Thich Nhat Hanh gently explores one of humanity's deepest fears—the fear of death. Drawing on Buddhist wisdom, mindfulness, and simple yet profound stories, he explains that birth and death are not absolute endings or beginnings but part of a continuous flow of life. By understanding impermanence and our deep interconnectedness with all living beings, we can let go of fear, transform grief, and embrace each moment with greater peace and compassion.
Through guided reflections, personal experiences, and practical meditation, the book encourages readers to see that nothing truly disappears—it only changes form. Rather than fearing death, we learn to appreciate life more deeply, heal emotional suffering, and discover the freedom that comes from living fully in the present. It is a compassionate guide for anyone seeking comfort, resilience, and a more peaceful relationship with life and loss.
Active self-knowledge
Without self-knowledge, experience breeds illusion; with self-knowledge, experience, which is the response to challenge, does not leave a cumulative residue as memory. Self-knowledge is the discovery from moment to moment of the ways of the self, its intentions and pursuit, its thoughts and appetites. There can never be “your experience” and “my experience”; the very term “my experience” indicates ignorance and the acceptance of illusion.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
