Wings of Peace


In one of question answer session in prison, a prisoner asked seriously: "is it true that meditation can make us fly?". When it was cultivated deeper, it turns out he wanted to fly away from the prison.

This is one sign of soul who is far from health. Do not talk about money and power, even spirituality wanted to be used 
as a vehicle of crime. As a result, soul is restless and full of anxiety.

Wilhelm Reich in his book "Listen Little Man" wrote, soul can reach a state of health when a person lives in a 
balance and loving way. And when soul live in doubt and fear, a person lose the energy to be healed.

Temple of Mind



A spiritual friend shared his sadness one day, he has converted his religion three times. And he has been cheated materially many times in these three religions. At the end of his grief, he asked: "In which temple should I worship now?".

This is  a specific story of restless souls, do not talk about money and power, even religion and God can become a source of pain. The point is simple, the darkness inside will guide a person to meet the darkness outside.

That's why all religions in early stage suggest to meet the light within. Once a person meets the light within, they do not just see the light outside, they also emits the light.

Mountain of Compassion



"Why spiritual seekers should meet harming enemies along the journey?", a woman asked. To be honest, spiritual journey is not a journey which is full of pleasure. In many parts, spiritual journey is even very painful.

There are two approaches available to explain the presence of harming enemies along the spiritual journey. The first approach is mirror like approach. In this approach, the presence of enemy is only a mirror that someone still has inner battle within themselves. The harder a person fight against themselves, the more external enemies will harm them.

Poetry In Silence



"I feel alienated in my own body, I feel lonely in the crowd", that's the complain of many meditation students. By having empty eyes, dry skin, lips that never say thank you, this type of person keep drinking poison for their soul. Without deep inner cultivation, those lost souls can experience spiritual down fall.

To be honest, many people in this age feel lonely in the crowd. In a series  of deep interviews with many meditation students, a number of friends whose daily life are cheerful and full of humor also experienced the same loneliness. Cheerfulness and laugher are only cloths to cover their painful loneliness inside. Deep within they missed something. The thing which remains a mystery for a long time.
