How do you write poems and play jazz?

Improvisation
Improvisation is a song, a poem.The song consists of sentences. Each sentence consists of words.
You are using ordinary wordsWords that are familiar to you. Words that you use in your everyday life.
But you combine the words in a new way.A new and surprising way, so you will get a new sentence which isnot ordinary or familiar.
Then, you combine the sentences.You get a new song, a poem.
You get something that you've never heard before. Something that expandyour consciousness.
That's improvisationThat's poetry.

Deconstruction

Deconstruction is just a method to read a text, any text.You read the text carefully, and you find the distinction between opposing ideas within the text. And then, you find the idea chosen by the text as the right idea.After that, you read the text once again.You find, within the text, that there are some evidence supporting the opposing idea.Eventually, you will cast some doubts as to which idea is the right idea.

Enjoy Life

What does it mean by "Enjoy Life"?

Is it enjoying all the pleasure of the world?




Accept the pain and suffering?

Or?

Which one do you choose. Enjoying the pleasures of the world.
Or enjoying the whole universe, through science and contemplation?


Or,
Being a spiritual person? Journey into the depth of your center?
Enlightenment? Illumination?
Going to the higher plane?

Welcome to Reality!

We are sleeping and dreaming, living in illusion.We just need to wake up, to see the reality as it is.

Free your mind.

What is the most perfect religion?



What is the most perfect religion?

Some people would die or kill or go to war for their religion.
Some people even commit suicide bombing, for the sake of their religion.
The question of whose religion is the most perfect is very important for them.
Their actions would be useless if their religion is not the most perfect.

What if somebody ask you:"What is the most perfect, the best software in the market?"
You would answer:"At this moment, software x is the best, but I don't know about tomorrow. Much less next week. Because softwares are always developed"

Well, religions are like "softwares". They need to be developed, they need to grow, they need to redefine their assumptions.
They need to be creative. As we, the human being, evolve, so does religion.

When you say that your religion is perfect, then that would be the end of it.

Some would say that the goods are the enemy of the best.
The mediocres are the enemy of the goods.

I would say that the best is the enemy of everything!
The goods are the enemy of everything!
The mediocres are the enemy of everything!

Grow! Change! Evolve! Be creative! Don't kill your "elan vital"!

Live and Suffering



Life is difficult.

Ha!

You are expecting me to tell you that you can overcome this fact?
You expect me to tell you that you can be the great problem solver of this universe, just by having a grain of will power or faith?

Are you kidding? Of course, not!

Life is difficult. That's it.
Stop kidding yourself.

Wake up.
