The old Zen master, Enrico Zerboski, had become different in his teachings to other Zen masters, over the many years, while he had been the head master, at the Ryoko monastery. He would often debunk many of the long held...

Shiva @innertalks Most of us tend to drift and then lose track when life takes its toll on our sanity. To get back to the right path is not easy when we stray too far away. We should stay true and never purposely disconnect from our source. Families are becoming...

There are so many things going on when it comes to loving someone or some things in life. I must admit that it adds shades of life. It could be the happiest or the saddest to experience. It is up to us to embrace the changes and...

Shiva @innertalks We need such masters to make us stay rooted to what we are here for. Too much of attachment to worldly sights and pleasures will lead us the wrong path as they are transient in nature. We should never lose sight of the bigger picture that our...

[i]The old Zen master had found himself a long time ago, when he was first enlightened, but now, inexplicably so, he felt lost, not to himself, but to life itself. He could see no point in him being in life, as it all felt like a...

Shiva @innertalks Strait of Hormuz is a lifeline for oil and gas importers. Asian countries are getting beholden to Iran for letting shipments to them pass unhindered. Even Europe has no choice but to goad Iran by playing good guys. It is clear American self...

Shiva @innertalks Yes future generations will carry the scar of the present warring world. And unfortunately the seed of hatred sprouts to haunt them and future generations. I hope today, Easter Sunday, will bring a breath of fresh air to this murky world. But...

Shiva @innertalks America was looked up to as the beacon of democracy and freedom. Their press used to advise (meddle in?) other countries internal affairs but they are helpless when it comes to their home turf. They are labeled as "fake news" purveyors by...

Shiva @innertalks The Arab countries are in a dilemma. They wanted the US to protect them from mainly Iran. Then also their monarchies were paying good money to get protected. Iranians are big investors there. So it is "heads I win, tails you lose" and whatever...

Shiva @innertalks He is not talking about Nobel Prize for now! He indicates he would just walk away - deal or no deal with Iran. The Straits of Hormuz was open before but now it is the baby of others to maneuver and get it opened. It is shocking the UN is...

Shiva @innertalks Moon has water trapped within lunar soil in the cold south pole as confirmed by NASA. That can help in further explorations of the Moon and even setting camp there. The world is bereft of compassion with each passing day. Old ways of Best Friend...

Shiva @innertalks I am intrigued not only by our individual awareness but also that of other species. We are not privy to them. Even what they think of us. And then of course, what life is about. What is after we leave here and then before we came here. That also...

Shiva @innertalks I heard it said we are pure consciousness. We can raise it or live superficially by just skimming the surface. Some seem to, or at least claim to, have a sixth sense like mind reading, soothsaying. Of course, one should take care not to fall into...

Shiva @innertalks Thanks Steve, when we lose track of our inner knowing, that there is more depth over and above our superficial lives here, then we get on with a take we are here for the long haul, maybe a permanent existence. We are just breaking our journeys...

Shiva @innertalks It should be "consensus building" all the time. It is saber rattling from the word go threatening others with annihilation than with conciliation. A big power decides - read one person - and expect others to fall in line and sign on the dotted...
