“…the more we awaken, the more we become aware of the pain and darkness that we have carefully buried within our psyche. When the light of our awareness illuminates the pain, everything we have built around it in order to protect ourselves from it begins to fall apart. And often, frightened, we turn away from […]
Once, seekers of truth climbed a high mountain to visit a wise man and asked him: — How can we become wise? The sage was in meditation. After some time, he emerged and said: — To become wise, you must make the right choices. — And how can we know which choice is right? — […]
“Once you achieve a degree of neutrality, the fun part begins. Detached from reactions, you can use your creativity and imagination. You can choose to enjoy life. And with your laughter, you take the first step toward your spiritual fulfillment. When the soul is inactive due to boredom and apathy or fear or anger, there […]
“Naturally, when you decide to work on something, you will encounter much of its opposite. For example, when you want to develop patience, you get every red light, every traffic jam, and the longest queue at the supermarket.When you are learning to be more loving, you often run into people and situations that make you […]
Lately, I have been quoting Michael Tamura’s book You Are the Answer quite often, which in itself is a sign that this is a book I genuinely believe is worth reading. Now I would like to add a few more words about it, in order to include it in my “Recommended Books” category. I am […]

Lately, by some recurring coincidence, I often find myself speaking with people who are going through one form or another of despair. These are people who have been engaged in spiritual healing and growth for many years, yet they reach a point where they begin to feel stuck and see no results from their efforts. […]
Years ago, a friend shared a problem in her relationship. At the time, I was reading a book on the topic, so I enthusiastically recommended it to her. But she looked at me condescendingly and said, “Oh, Kamy, your books aren’t helping me.” And yet, inside, I couldn’t help wondering, “Why do these books help […]
“And the truth is that as a person’s true power grows and their knowledge expands, the path before them grows narrower. In the end, they begin to do only and entirely what must be done, without choosing.”Ursula Le Guin, Earthsea, p. 64 These are the words spoken by the Master Summoner to Ged, the main […]
In the wholeness of our response to what is happening in our lives lies a very important secret. If we understand it—if we truly understand it—something significant happens in our life, and after that, we are never the same. To explain what I mean, I will start from a distance—from the time I began reading […]
“People believe in so many lies. Some of these lies are so subtle and convincing that we build our entire virtual reality upon them without even noticing that they are lies. The lies we believe about ourselves can be difficult to detect, because we are so used to them that they seem normal. For example, […]
When we learn to make decisions by developing sensitivity to circumstances and by trusting our inner nature, we gradually and almost imperceptibly become more patient.
