California – oops, Bay Area, here I am

September 28th, 2010 | Posted by Mushin in traveling - (4 Comments)

I’m in culture-shock. Well, okay, I’m exaggerating. The type of spirituality – I call it Californianism – that I meet here wherever I go is a mixture of New Age, Buddhist and positivist, basically Christian ideas (actually easily traceable to “Christian Science“); stirred well in a melting pot of activists, artists, hippies, healers and entrepreneurs.

The Living Field & the Art of Living

Wikipedia: Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions.

Enlightening the Passions – Day 10 (Interlude)

A calm day starting out beautifully. And the interesting fact that, if a day starts like this it’s hard to focus on the more challenging feelings. So I took that as an invitation to explore – with my imagination, a major tool if used with care and not to avoid this, that or the other … Read more →

Atheist Spirituality

My friend Robert Seltman from Kyoto, Japan, devoted a whole section of his excellent website (with a great old-fashioned design; gives me retro-feelings) to Atheism and what it is for different people. And as a last little illustration he had the below video by Alan Watts – who was the hero of youth and young … Read more →

Me to the Power of Us

A beautiful video illustration a visionary statement by Michel Bauwens which expresses most beautifully the Path I find myself to be on. “Anyway, this is what the changes are about, augmenting the individual through relationality, with the object of creating common value �collectively�, through self-aggregation.

Right Brain Enlightenment

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke.

The Truth about Sweet Spirituality

October 23rd, 2007 | Posted by Mushin in spirituality - (0 Comments)

My dear friend Sandra put up an interesting post with some music, and among the three vids here was Tom Waits celebrating Chocolate Jesus.

We are the next Buddha

Helen wrote in her blog “Why the next Buddha will be a collective.” I hope to show with this article where I am coming from in this regard so that in the time to come we can have beautiful dialogues, trialogues or any other -logues to help this meme propagate. I guess, for me it … Read more →
