Fostering the Seeds of Peace

In some parts of history, the western world restore signs to which civilization will move. Industrialization, democracy, capitalism, feminism, technology are just some things that initially occurred in the West, then outspread to the whole world. Sadly, there is a powerful country in the West beginning to show anti-religious sentiments openly. Hopefully this too will not spread to other parts of the world.

The True Hero

The long history of a hero is a long story of victory. There was no one who was called a great warrior because they became losers on the battlefield. All heroes of the past were  praised in their time and age because of winning.

The last paradigm of hero brings a very long and deep impact on the development of human generations for thousands of years. The old myth about a hero who always wins brings a deep impact everywhere. The suicide rate which is increasing steadily everywhere, divorce rates that can not be lowered in every country, the touching stories of violence that bring the identity of religion, are all caused by many reasons. But it is hard to deny, that all of these human tragedies have a link to the old myth that a warrior must always win.

The Blessful Heart

A Dutch tourist who has just lost her father, asked here and there in Bali. She wants to find a saint who can change her bad luck. She wants to evolve from a life which is full of misfortune into a life which is full of good fortune. This is typical of seekers in this day and age. They seek a holy Guru not in order to illuminate the soul, but to make life full of profit.

A tourist who comes from Australia shared his story in a meditation session, that he had visited healers in Bali. It is the same as the above tourists from the Netherlands, this gentleman also wanted a life which is full of good luck. Sadly, what he found was not good luck, but the soul which is darkening from day to day. A gentleman from Jakarta opened his secret that he has changed his religion three times. But he feels cheated in all the three religions that he followed.
