The old Zen master, Reski Zerploski, seemed to be very serious in his nature, during the latter period of his life. He seemed to have lost his sense of humour. He had been this way ever since his fellow Zen master, in a...

John went to his local doctor yesterday, and he was surprised that his usual doctor, Doctor Mal Lomback, was still there. At his last visit, a few months back, the doctor had told John that he would be retiring at the end...

Shiva @innertalks Even in the "Land of the free" much touted all through history, there is now self-censorship not to trod on issues that can invite the wrath of the powerful and mighty. We have now the AI and other tools to even monitor our every action and even...

Shiva @innertalks Real masters have that insight but we need to be aware of charlatans looking for easy prey. Life has a deeper meaning and that is what our soul prompts us.

Shiva @innertalks Though the right thing to do is to speak up, I have found I am in a minority. I could easily make out when politicians hoodwink people but the majority falls for it. At the end of the day, reality bites where it hurts most, our pockets.

Shiva @innertalks Every leader who promised to deliver has flattered to deceive in the end. They leave behind a bigger mess than what they promised to clear. It looks like, taken as a whole, there is no free will or democracy in our world as there is a fear...

Shiva @innertalks Common folks end up as mere digits summarily dispensed with in the altar of greed and ego of powerful leaders. That will be a sad epitaph for the human race.

Shiva @innertalks The saving grace of nuclear weapons is they will destroy everyone - even those far away. That means it is in the interest of everyone to act beforehand to preempt anyone with itchy fingers to jump the gun. Drones are becoming another potent...

Shiva @innertalks Yes, that will then be like the skeletons left to fight! A silver lining to the present conflicts is our big leaders were aware of the consequences of "Crossing the Rubicon" leading to our annihilation. The conflicts could have lead to a no...

clrumfelt @innertalks I agree. There's no place for ego in a relationship with God. Every good thing comes from Him, so there is plenty of space for gratitude but none for ego.

Shiva @innertalks We have an inner yearning that this life should not be the end - maybe just a beginning. There should be some substance to that undying desire in us - maybe, the soul giving us hope. .
