The miracle of mindfulness touches us in different ways at different times, and it naturally catches us off guard, usually in a moment of complete awareness and spontaneity.

Who Am I? And What Happens To Me When I Die?

Who am I? Who is the “me”, “the I”; this awareness I feel of being this person. And how does it feel for someone else to be them? Do they feel the same things as I feel being me? “Woah!” Your friends say… …”That’s some deep thinking, man. What have you been smoking?” But don’t let…Read More

Sorting through emails sounds like a laborious task; I mean, why bother when you have 15 GB worth of storage to use up, and the benefit of filters to sort through them when need be. Well, just recently I came to a point where I’d had enough of the endless pages of my inbox and…Read More
