Can You Really Trust Your Thoughts?”

Welcome, friends…

Let me ask you something quietly profound:

Can you really trust your thoughts?

They swirl.

They sing.

They shout, whisper, warn, and seduce.

But are they truly yours?

Or echoes—of parents, friends, teachers, strangers, or screens?

We follow them like maps.

As if they know the way.

But thoughts shift like sand in the wind.

They rise, fall, and vanish.

Are they light—or just mirrors?

Reflecting borrowed beliefs,

Are they worn like hand-me-downs?

Pause...Breathe...

Who told you the sky is blue?

Was it your eyes…

or someone else’s voice?

And if even the sky was a story…

What else have you accepted without question?

You once looked at the world with wonder.

Before names.

Before roles.

Before, thought told you who to be.

Now ask again:

Can you trust what flickers with fear?

Bends to opinion?

Disappears in silence?

No...

That’s not truth.

That’s not you.

For beneath it all—

There is stillness.

A watcher

A presence.

Unmoving.

Unchanging.

Real.

That… is you.

So be still.

And remember:

You are not the clouds.

You are the sky.

"Meditation: The Homecoming of a Mystical Superhero"

Welcome, friends, to the realm of your greatest superpower: meditation. Forget incense-laden clichés and the hush of distant monasteries—this practice is not an esoteric luxury reserved for mystics. It’s the most practical, portable technology ever invented for returning to your most accurate address: the Self that existed before the world etched a name onto your passport and a résumé onto your destiny. 1. Remembering the Face Before the Mask When we say “self,” we don’t mean the collage of titles, tasks, and selfies scrolling through your phone. We point to the primal, pre-verbal awareness—the “original face” Zen masters hint at, the observer that watched you dreaming in the womb before you knew the word I. Meditation is the secret passage back to that dimension. 2. Preparing the Temple Wake the body: Loosen up with smooth, wave-like stretches—roll each joint, unwind each muscle, and flick off tension like you’d brush lint off a coat. You’re unkinking the m...
