"Stop Chasing and Start Remembering: The Spiritual Secret to Coming Home to Yourself"


Welcome to this three-dimensional dreamscape—a realm of duality where contrast reigns supreme. Here, light and shadow waltz through every moment, joy and sorrow hold hands in silence, and from our very first breath, we’re told a story:

You must become more and more to be enough.

More successful.
More beautiful.
More productive.
More... everything.

Consider this: In this theater of appearances, we are cast as seekers—forever chasing reflections, sculpting versions of ourselves to fit into frames not made for our being. And so we run—toward status, validation, and a better version of ourselves, always beyond reach.

But the faster we chase becoming, the further we drift from being.
The further we move from ourselves.

Yet beneath all the striving, there is a still place untouched by the noise—a more profound truth that calls not for effort but for return.
Return to presence.
Return to breath.
Return to the unshakable silence of your own essence.


Remember: when creativity calls, make sure you're there.

It won’t knock twice. It won’t wait patiently on your doorstep or leave a polite message. Creativity strikes like lightning—sudden, fierce, and fleeting.

Recognize this: when inspiration calls, be there to answer.
Drop everything. Be still. Let the noise fall away until you can catch the whisper before it dissolves into the noise of your day.

Jot it down as if it’s sacred. Sing it into your phone like Lady Gaga, capturing lightning in a melody. Sketch it on a napkin if you need to. Just don't let it slip away unnoticed.

 These are not just ideas but sacred echoes—fragments of truth delivered from a place beyond time. Miss them, and they leave no trail. But meet them with presence, and they become portals.


 In the Same Way, when  Karma Pushes, Listen

Karma doesn’t come to punish—it comes to awaken.
At first, it’s subtle: a quiet discomfort, a repeated pattern, a whisper in the background asking you to pay attention. But ignore it, and it will roar.

Because karma loves you enough to persist. It will rattle your world until you stop, look inward, and ask, "What is this that cometh to teach me?"

"Every push and every pull is a messenger—not from the outside, but from consciousness itself. Its message is always the same: Come back home to yourself."


Take Notice When the Divine Knocks at Your Door.

What happens when God comes knocking—but you’re never home?

Too often, we are out—chasing illusions in the neon-lit corridors of the world. 

Busy seeking meaning in pixels, possessions, and performances. But the Divine doesn't shout. It doesn’t follow you into your distractions. It waits—quietly, patiently—at the doorway of your being.

To feel it, you must be still. To hear it, you must return.


Meditation Your Inner  Superpower. 

Meditation is not an escape. It’s not a spiritual hobby or a luxury. It is the way home.

It is how we step out of the spinning carousel of doing and drop into the spacious stillness of being. It is how we unplug from the simulation of becoming and remember who we’ve been all along.

In that stillness, something ancient awakens.
A peace not born of circumstances.
A presence that doesn’t depend on identity.
A love that has never left you.

You were never lost—only momentarily distracted.
You haven’t vanished... you’ve simply forgotten how to remember.


The Invitation

You don’t need to chase wholeness.
You only need to stop running from it.

Come home to yourself. 

To this breath. To this moment.

Again, until presence becomes your dwelling place—not just your destination.

Riding the Storm: How a Sailor's Struggle Became His Greatest Strength"

  Once upon a time, if such a time existed. In a quaint coastal village lived a sailor named Finn, whose heart belonged to the sea, especially when the calm waters and the sun graced the horizon.  Life felt easy then—each day a smooth sail, each moment filled with laughter and light.  But Finn knew the tides were fickle, and stormy weather was always just over the horizon. One fateful day, dark clouds gathered, and the winds howled. Finn felt the ship lurch beneath him as the storm crashed upon him. Panic gripped his heart as waves threatened to pull him under.  At that moment, he remembered a lesson learned long ago: when the waters grew rough, it wasn’t a plea for the calm he needed but a prayer for strength. “Lord,” he whispered into the tempest, “don’t just make my life easier—make me stronger and wiser.” He gripped the wheel and focused on navigating the furious currents instead of succumbing to despair. The waves were relentless, tossing his vessel like a toy, ...

"The World Is Your Mirror: How Judgment Reveals the Self You’ve Forgotten"

  Take note, dear friend... Life isn't easy-going...is it?  "The World Is Your Mirror: How Judgment Reveals the Self You’ve Forgotten" To criticize. To condemn. To point a weary finger at the world and say, "That… that over there is wrong." But pause for a moment. What if—just what if—what you see “out there” Is it merely a reflection of what’s in here? The mind is a projector, the world a screen, and we see old reels of belief, subconscious programs playing out in the open. How else could you recognize those faults, If they didn’t live—however faintly—within you? Perhaps you’re not a victim of the outside world at all. Maybe, just maybe what you’re really experiencing “out there” is what’s happening within you. As within, so without. The cause is internal — even if the effects appear to play out externally. So next time judgment rises, Pause. Breathe. Be still. Look again—and see the one you judge may be a forgotten piece of you. Not an enemy, but a shadow long...

Why We Remember the One Wrong—and Forget the Hundred Rights”

Greetings, fellow traveler— Come closer, not with your ears, but with the stillness behind them. Let me offer you a riddle, not to be solved, but to be held gently in the palm of your awareness. Why is it that we can offer someone,  a hundred good deeds... a hundred kindnesses...  quiet gestures... unseen sacrifices… And yet, one misstep—just one—becomes the focal point of their gaze? Why does one wrong cast a longer shadow than a hundred lights ever could? Where do those hundred rights go? Do they evaporate like mist under the harsh sun of judgment? Or is the forgetting not in the heart, but in the architecture of the mind itself? Built to Fear... Not to Be Fair... You see, the human mind is not crafted for fairness. It was not sculpted in temples of justice but forged in the wild, where survival was the only virtue. In the wilderness of our evolution, it was never the beauty of the sunset that saved us. It was the rustle in the grass. A threat remembered was a life preserved...
