The old Zen master walked along the river, looking down at his feet, as he walked, and then a man, walking towards him said, to him. "Why look down, when the whole world should be looking up at God, not down at his...

Shiva @innertalks Lots happening that can disorient us but at the end of the day the joke is on the common folks who have to lap it up and shrug it off. Maybe, grin and bear it! One is never left at peace - no place to hide with CCTV becoming ubiquitous.

Shiva @innertalks We still wonder at the pall of gloom a few can muster and cast over the rest with their devious actions that seem to be taken for granted. Maybe, we need to find oasis of peace within ourselves by maintaining connection to our creator and gently...

"Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not." This quote is from the author, Deepak Chopra. John was at a question, and answer, session with his local Rabbi, Rabbi Chekov Rustevvly, and he asked...

Shiva @innertalks I have come across a few who fool the gullible, who are dime a dozen, with the ability to speak on behalf of God. "A fool and his money are soon parted"

The old Zen master had lived in the Zen monastery for all of his long life, and his friends were mostly only his fellow monks, and students. There was one other friend, though, who would visit with him, about once every...

Shiva @innertalks "Curiosity kills the cat", but in this instant the sagacious Zen master lived up to his true stature by leaving the student with a lesson to ponder over. Maybe that should spur his curiosity in the right direction, the spark that ignites, to...

Shiva @innertalks Yes, God need not do what we do as a matter of course, kill those we don't like or approve. We do things as if it is God's will but that cannot be farther from the truth. We also pester God with relentless demands based on material greed;...

Shiva @innertalks It has happened for humanity in general as well. What we took for granted soon became not acceptable like slavery which did not raise an eyebrow earlier. I hope we will soon have a leap in awareness to put wars behind us and realize that innocents...

Shiva @innertalks Intuition happened when I needed it most. I can testify to that and it happened when I was deep in sleep. It was as if the solution came out of the blue. Maybe I tuned to the right frequency more by sincerity of purpose

Shiva @innertalks We come attuned to the right frequency in terms of our conscience though we can switch off or change the frequency at our peril. Though most leaders pretend to be religious their actions belie what they say. It is clear enough from the state...

Shiva @innertalks Some do add their own inputs in every belief and those get into the core of the teachings even. I am more agnostic and believe in listening to my conscience. When in doubt, treat others better than how I like to be treated to give some margin too...

Shiva @innertalks It is not easy to pull people out of darkness as some even accused Pope Francis of heresy as he wanted a more inclusive society. Pope Francis used to talk about the devil often as the latter's influence reflected in the way hypocrisy cast its...

Shiva @innertalks Trump is one a kind and he wants a third term whatever it takes and the constitution roadblock. Nothing succeeds like success - is how the world reacts.

Shiva @innertalks Sadly. we get carried away by what we see and hear from the physical world which has a stranglehold on our thoughts and actions. We want to garner what we need and more with relentless “mine and yours” barrier.

Shiva @innertalks I went for American spelling as most here are from the US. The world is becoming borderless increasingly despite the threat of tariffs on trade. We need to grin and bear at the turn of events that defy reason.

Shiva @innertalks Yes, think of the consequences before we act. The consequences of some actions are irreversible. One false step can prove even fatal.
