How to be Free
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbbA4... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbbA4... In Heartfull meditation that I practice, and all meditation practices that I think off, they all prescribe not being attached. When we meditate, thoughts come up. They should be treated like a passing cloud, the prescription being: don't get attached. The problem: I never understood what it meant operationally. What exactly should I do?? I think I've…

Cheating the Body
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGYKj... When you have a headache, you take an aspirin. Is that because your head is aspirin deficient? Obviously not. So what does the aspirin do? It relieves the symptoms of the headache without addressing the causes of the ailment. Pain is the way the body communicates: help, we have a problem here… The aspirin probably…

I was reciting my prayer, that I always do in my Heartfulness meditation, and it goes something like this (I’m paraphrasing): "Oh, Master, you are the ultimate goal of human life. But…

The Meaning of the Number Thirteen
In the Jewish religion, thirteen is a sacred number. Why? Consider numerology. If you add up the values of the words “peace,” “hear,” and “love” written in Hebrew, you get the same number: thirteen. שלום שְׁמעַ אהב Now, this is interesting. The combination of these words is not happenstance, they contain a message: There cannot be…

Is Growth Always Good?
There is a lot of talk about growth: the growth of the GNP, growth of revenues, growth of profits. Growth is good. But in my consulting experience, I found that not all growth is positive. I suggest that the country of Montenegro, for instance, is growing to the detriment of its future. Its development is analogous to…

Is it a Disagreement, a Discussion, or an Argument?
In some languages, the word “disagreement” and the word “confrontation” are the same. For example, in Spanish, a discussion is una pelea, a fight.

The Ingredients of Respect
Analyze the following statement I received in an email (author unknown): "I was raised to show respect. I was taught to knock before I open a door. Say hello when I enter a room. Say please and thank you, and to have respect for my elders. I would let another person have my seat if…
