Do you share a sneaking feeling the world is out of harmony at the moment?
“Wisdom is knowing I am nothing. Love is knowing I am everything, and in between the two my life moves.” ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
Do you share a sneaking feeling the world is out of harmony at the moment?
This is a photo of a double page from my journal called “Harmony”.
“Who am I?” – I’ve drawn the flower of life on the left with all the examples of ‘Trimurti” (three great ones) in every ancient culture, showing how we are all simply intersections of two other points.

The Monk Moment – Many great entrepreneurs have had a moment when they have lost everything. Monks create this situation intentionally through “Vairagya” when they give up all money and possessions. Many entrepreneurs end up in the same situation unintentionally.
Elon Musk lost $180M and was in debt in 2008. Seven years later, he’s worth $13 billion, but he’d be ready to risk it all again. Steve Jobs lost his entire Apple fortune by 1994, betting it on NeXT and Pixar. In 1995 everything turned...
