Topic: Surrender
How do you express your faith in God? My mind is so preoccupied with chanting his name that it takes a toll on my productivity. How do you escape that fear and reaffirm your faith without the need to chant all the time?
You can learn meditation. Practicing sitting meditation teaches us how to remain in a state where we are aware of the awareness that all life appears in, and we are aware of the creative energy that is one with this awareness, and we are in tune with the intelligence...
Why do we face difficulties at work when I advance in meditation?
The difficulties sheep face when being herded by a shepherd are being shouted at and scared, being beaten with a stick in some cases.. but as long as they move along the way the shepherd desires, it will be OK for them, until the day they are sent to the butcher....
What is the “ABCDE” method of organizing one’s day?
Take a careful look. You don’t live day by day aren’t you? You live moment to moment. In fact there is only this moment. There is nothing else. You are always living in this moment. Whether you are remembering a memory, or whether you are imagining the future, or...
How do I know for absolute certainty that Siddharta Gautama is not in hell for not accepting Jesus Christ?
You don’t know with absolute certainty that hell exists, either. So why jump ahead to Siddharta Gautama? First admit what you already don’t know. Keep admitting (as an attitude with life) what you don’t know until only absolute certainty remains. I feel this is also...
Meditation isn’t helping me pick a university course. What should I do?
Suppose that you will buy a car tomorrow, and you don’t know much about cars. If you get up and meditate in the morning, you will have more clarity in your mind. but you still won’t know much about cars. You will perhaps need to go to a car gallery to browse them and...
If I place awareness on the breath, is that meditation? Like can I meditate on the train just by being aware of the breath? Why or why not?
If I place awareness on the breath, is that meditation?: Yes. Can I meditate on the train just by being aware of the breath?: Yes. Why or why not?: Where we place our awareness changes the flow of creative energy accordingly. There are certain objects such as the...
I feel the need to write creatively. Is there value in pursuing it even if I don’t get paid?
Absolutely. True value is not measured by money, it is measured by the happiness (or pure life energy) you experience. And who knows, someday you can even get paid for it. The world needs happiness, and many people like people who bring happiness to the world. (Many...
Can you give me a timetable for 24 hours? How can I manage my work, eat, and sleeping?
It doesn’t matter what timetable I give you. It will anyway happen in the way you create it from within yourself. It is happening the way it is happening right now because you are creating it from within this way. Remember any time where you tried to implement an idea...
Is it better to work 4 10 hour days or 5 8 hours days?
The ‘better’ you seek actually changes with your ability to be happy, not with how much you work. When you are truly happy, you won’t care a damn thing about how much you work. This doesn’t mean you will work yourself to death and this doesn’t mean you...
Who has sinned, God or man?
That question is the sin, because God and man are not separate. Then who has sinned? See.. sin is just an experience available within infinite possibilities. When we separate life in our minds, we experience sin. Life is one unity, when we don’t separate it in our...
How do artists keep up the creative flow and motivation without a lengthy “artist’s fatigue” (burnout)?
They don’t pressure themselves to maintain creative flow. This is like forcing a someone to love you. Instead they focus on love itself. It is like.. You are God.. and you are creating just because you truly desire to create and you are creating the most wonderful...
If I confess that I am a sinner then am I forgiven and therefore not a sinner? If I must confess that I am a sinner in order for Jesus to forgive me then am I truly a sinner or not?
Sin is when you keep believing you are separate from God. Such as a God out there judging you to be good or bad. See.. when you separate God’s creation into good and bad, within your mind, all the while remaining unaware that you are the entirety of this all, one with...

There is a living enlightened person who has been creating comprehensive teachings for over a decade, which are designed to address all aspects of this enlightenment process. They are designed especially for us, for these contemporary times. These two links contain...
How does one stay motivated when there’s no hope?
No hope suggests that no path to peace/happiness seen by the person and the reality of the situation has not been accepted as it is. The primary reason of feeling hopeless is not the situation itself, it is the subjective reality of the person. Another usage of no...
What are the best tricks to keep yourself motivated?
Stop searching for motivation. Searching implies that you think/believe it is somewhere else. Non-searching is the state of motivation. Motivation is within you, not somewhere else, it is one with you. So how will you ever find it if you keep believing it is somewhere...
What is the most efficient way to replenish willpower?
Realize that there is only one willpower and everything including all your actions are governed by this willpower. Surrender more and more to this willpower and learn to live your life from there. At the root of it your will and this will are one. At the more surface...
