My Visit to Seoul
I recently posted about giving a keynote at the 2017 World Knowledge Forum in Seoul, South Korea. Once that event concluded, I spent a couple extra days exploring this wonderful city. I’m particularly drawn to historical sites and spent most of my time exploring a few of the main palaces within the city. I did not know what to expect as I had never been to Seoul before or spent much time in east Asia, but I can tell you I loved being there. The Korean people especially made my visit truly memorable. They were nothing but sweet and kind to me everywhere I went. I hope you enjoy these photos.

Bringing Awareness to Attention
Now, I’ve already shared with you that the most important thing in understanding the mind is understanding that there is a clear separation between awareness and mind. Once you’ve understood that you are not the mind but rather you are pure awareness moving through different areas of the mind, th...

If not now, then when?
Reflection for this weekend: “It takes tremendous courage, will and self-compassion to break the habits. Challenge yourself to live a different and better way. If not now, then when? Life is ever ebbing away.” ~ Dandapani Photo: Hindu monk at Pasupatinath Temple, Kathmandu, Nepal.
