“Life is suffering,” said the Buddha and in modern American vernacular “Sh… happens.”
And sometimes it happens quite literally. This morning I was half awake when I flushed the toilet and it overflowed (and not just a little but a lot).
OK Sh… happens. So what to do? Clean it. Not a fun job, but someone had [...]
Forgiving is the centeral aspect of Transformative Imagination which is the name for my gentle type of behavior modification and bringing out your inner magnificence which we all have. I recently wrote a post on our main Life Focus Center blog about forgiving while being in the middle of a dispute. After I wrote this [...]
This morning I woke up at 3:30 a.m. from a weird dream or perhaps a minor nightmare. I cannot exactly remember what the dream was about. I think it was about something like:
A Dr. Frankenstein type of being creates a universe and makes these beings which he designs with what he thinks are flaws and [...]
About six month ago I started some commercial blogs. I worked for about three months on them but stopped because they were not producing enough given the amount of time I was spending on them.

And then the cell phone rang and I had it on speaker. [...]
I ended the last post about my introduction to Plato with the question, “Was Plato a proto-fascist?” I mentioned that my own impression of Plato was that he had a wonderful “Myth of the cave” in book six of the Republic and I did not think much of his ideas about the primacy of logic [...]
I’m one of those bums who never studied philosophy academically. I studied hard sciences like chemistry, biochemistry and brain sciences. I did go to a meeting at the London University Humanist Society given by the logical positivist Gilbert Ryle. But this was very safe as positivism is absolute fundamentalist materialism and at this time as [...]
OK here’s the deal. In order for any blog to work in the long run and the blogger keep posting new posts the blogg needs make a little money. One of my ways is to have sponsered links and products that I sell in my stores. So please check these out. Thank you.

Anyway, I canot remember when I stopped posting to this blog and wrote [...]
