We Need Appreciation and Gratitude More Than Ever Before!
A Creativity and Personal Mastery (CPM) alum asked me to elaborate on Appreciation and Gratitude for current times. Many alums are feeling quite far from grateful, and some are even scared. This is unfortunate. It is also contrary to the spirit of CPM. We see a small sliver of a complex ‘reality’, foist our story…

Where Are You, My Friend? And Why Are You There?
Physics was my first love and I still stand in awe of the great minds that developed subjects like Quantum Mechanics and Cosmology. And, increasingly, what physicists are discovering has eerie similarity to what mystics have proclaimed for centuries. It will be fun to explore physics and consciousness and the search for enlightenment in a…

Interested in the journey of awakening?
We have done some heavy lifting in my last four blog posts. Many have commented that the tenor of these posts have been different from my regular posts. If you feel the same way, you are correct. I have gone quite deep down the rabbit hole in these blogs. If you would like to refresh…

A Mind-blowing Idea (Part 2)
In my last blog I pointed out that the world we see and think we live in is an appearance. Deep down there is simply a mess of sub-atomic particles – collectively called fermions – whose interactions are governed by fundamental messenger particles called bosons. All kinds of strange stuff happens at the sub-atomic particle…

A Mind-blowing Idea, Part 1
I was a physics major at college and have fond memories of that period. I maintain that there is no subject like physics to show you that what you see, think and feel cannot be trusted and what is ‘real’ is very different from what you think it is. Books were expensive when I was…

Nothing Ails Your Body – Your Body Is the Ailment! – Part 2
In my last blog we speculated about whether your life was a dream. And, if it is a dream, whose dream it is. These are not trivial questions and they are preoccupying some deep thinkers. Here is a serious article from the Scientific American postulating that we could be virtual entities in a computer simulation.…

Nothing Ails Your Body – Your Body Is the Ailment! – Part 1
We will go metaphysical today. This is an important blog, so don’t discard it. If it makes no sense, ponder it anyway and see if something wakes up in you. Many decades ago, I read about an incident in the life of the great Indian sage, Ramana Maharshi. Toward the end of his days cancer…

He Dropped a Box and His Life Changed!
Isn’t it amazing how tiny, insignificant actions or events can transform our lives? A mad man with a knife, an oil slick on the road, an unexpected iceberg and your life is changed forever. Elliott Masie is my friend and colleague in the MG100 group founded by Marshall Goldsmith. He has many, many interests and…
