Find Happiness 26: Don’t Keep Your Thoughts on a Leash

October 20, 2010

Many people feel they have to control their thoughts. Heck, so did I. But in reality, there is no reason to regulate them. Read on to understand why. I went to a puritanical school. When I was in the sixth or seventh grade, the school sternly taught my fellow pupils and me that thoughts were [...]

Find Happiness 25: Be Aware of Every Single Thought, Even the Desire to Be Aware

September 30, 2010

As many enlightened beings have repeatedly stated over millennia, to experience absolute peace of mind you have to watch all your thoughts as a witness, just like you would watch a movie from the audience.

Find Happiness 24: Weight Loss the Inner Peace Way

September 9, 2010

The first place to lose weight is your head. No, I’m not asking you to have a haircut or lobotomy. I’m asking you to take your heavy mind off yourself and lay it alongside. I’m asking you to realize that “you” are separate from your mind. Strange but very, very true! You need to realize [...]

Find Happiness 22: “Good Thoughts” and “Bad Thoughts”: Baloney!

August 1, 2010

Earlier in my life, I used to waste an inordinate amount of mental energy dealing with what I felt were “bad thoughts” (i.e. thoughts which I felt were “wrong” for me to think). If a “bad thought” happened to pass through my head, I would immediately attempt to get rid of it (to no avail, [...]

Just Who Do You Think You Are?

July 11, 2010

Most people constantly identify with a “persona” instead of their true selves… and are not even aware that they are doing so. Are you one of them?  I hope not… What exactly is this "persona"? The “persona” in this case is how you define “yourself”. Examples are: “I am the sibling/spouse/child of so-and-so.” “I am [...]

Find Happiness 19: Meditation: Are you Botching it Up?

April 13, 2010

Meditation, as popularly conceived, is similar to prayer in a lot of respects. It entails closing your eyes, being in a special location, and performing it during a portion of the day.
