Although in the West, the word “Guru” has become synonymous with “expert”, “master”, and “influential teacher”. In its origin, it means “guide” or “mentor”, and although at first glance many would say mentor and teacher are the same, etymologically based on their Latin roots, they are not, but that is a subject for another day….…… Continue reading The Incognisable: Rumi, A Story Of Love

Understanding Narcissism & Narcissistic Parenting
Today I would like to expand on the subject of Narcissism; a subject often misunderstood. Franco Volpi; a philosopher and historian; wrote “Tell me who you see when you look at yourself on the mirror, and I will tell you what philosophy of life you live by”. We all know the myth of Narcissus; a…… Continue reading Understanding Narcissism & Narcissistic Parenting
Assumptions Lead To Wrong Conclusions
This article in some way goes hand in hand with my previous article on “Paranoia…The Silent Epidemic”–for it is based not just on assumptions per se, but on the high level of sociological paranoia currently being faced all over the world. How many of your thoughts about other people, situations or things are due to…… Continue reading Assumptions Lead To Wrong Conclusions
Paranoia…The Silent Epidemic Of Our Current Society
Would you be surprise to know, one of the biggest disorders that our society is currently facing is Paranoia?

My morning started early, with my assisting Barry while he photographed a…… Continue reading Reflection #10: If Worlds Could Collide

Perhaps the best and simplest way to generically explain the shadow, is by taking a closer look at the story of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”. Dr. Jekyll was a brilliant man who…… Continue reading Understanding The Shadow
Reflection #7: Gratitude
How many times do we go through our day as if on autopilot? How many times do we crave to feel the magick of life yet tune ourselves out from it? We are so eager to “succeed” or to shut out the silence of life that we have adapted no differently than a hamster in…… Continue reading Reflection #7: Gratitude
Reflection #5: Suffering
Suffering changes you; if you let it, those changes can be fuel towards something good or they can destroy you. Unfortunately we are often raised being taught to focus on being kind and loving towards others first; since young we are taught our emotions, wants and likes are secondary. Although many parents mean well, without…… Continue reading Reflection #5: Suffering

For centuries various religious institutions or patriarchal moral dogmas have diminished the beauty and power of sexuality and sensuality, reducing sexuality to pornographic animal lust or for reproduction alone, while sensuality has been reduced to pretending to be sexy, not realizing it is a state of being, born from the imperfect acceptance of self and…… Continue reading Vindicating Sensuality & Sexuality
