…as long as our greatest ideal, that ideal which is often called Self, God, Allah, Brahma, Atman, Tao, or Buddha-nature, is something far away and much too distant to see clearly or experience directly, we will continue to suffer. But, when one’s viewpoint changes and that greatest of ideals is seen to be everywhere present and manifest in all of creation, then life truly changes. What was once far away becomes closer than one’s own jugular vein; what was once turbulent becomes calm; what was once stressful becomes a source of bliss…yet all that really changes is one’s own viewpoint…

True success is only achievable when the inherent attitude of every individual is that of consideration of the other before self, of selfless contribution, of mental and emotional courage, of creating value for others, of helping others realize their potential unconditionally, and most importantly: of doing the right thing even when it is unpopular…anything else, and we will forever be stuck spinning our wheels inside meaningless insignificant facades driven by the greedy, self-centered, destructive, regressive, dogmatic, prejudiced, and dictatorial from amongst us.

When this illusion annihilates itself into the totality of existence, the form will carry to its grave an expression of contentment, peace, and serenity…this has been my life…and I have found it worth living…Pura Vida!!!

Our existence depends on dealing with our realities with significant cooperation and foresight…religious dogma is essentially regressive in nature and is a huge impediment, given its inherent superstitious, absolutely authoritative, territorial, and prejudiced foundation; to true cooperation and harmony between people…

I can only hope that we realize how dangerous religious dogma really is before it is too late…or is it too late already???
