Fox News/CNN Good Storytellers?

Last updated on: October 5, 2012 at 4:22 pm By David Matthew Brown

I used to go camping with my family and friends. We would sit around the campfire and tell stories. I loved it because I knew it was made-up and that it was story they were telling. We ate Smores and laughed but there was a moment in the story when we forgot to laugh. When we forgot that it was story they were telling us.

The little book of Secrets?

Last updated on: October 5, 2012 at 10:32 am By David Matthew Brown

Without answering this question thoroughly, you will only have the story. When you find the answer to this, you will find the cause of all your troubles, and you will discover the light that you are.” Read more

Thankfulness is endless. Understand more, then you will forgive less. Teachers matter and so do kids, give them a break. Laugh at your self. Discover. Harming others is gross no matter the form. You exist, you matter, and you have a great work to express, so express it. 🙂 Read more

Where is your Furniture?

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 2:20 pm By David Matthew Brown

A western man came to a Sufi Master to learn, as he heard about him from others that he is an enlightened soul. When the searcher entered to his house, he saw that an old Sufi was sitting on the corner, alone. He was shocked and asked the Sufi: ` I heard that you are a famous Sufi and here you are simply sitting without any furniture even a bed, how is it possible?' Read more

Last updated on: October 1, 2012 at 10:36 am By David Matthew Brown

All religions are perspective's of the truth, dogma is man's law, and yet we are evolving past laws that inhibit the feminine to grow and blossom and be nurtured within the religious dogma. Most people are turned off by religions who are failing to grow with the evolution of consciousness. Read more

Excerpt from “The Book of Understanding” by OSHO- Revolutionary vs Rebel- Who are you?

Last updated on: September 27, 2012 at 2:15 pm By David Matthew Brown

A rebel, as I use the term, is a spiritual phenomenon. His approach is absolutely individual. His vision is that if we want to change the society, we have to change the individual. Society in itself does not exist; it is only a word, like "crowd" - if you go to find it, you will not find it anywhere. Wherever you encounter someone, you will encounter an individual. "Society" is only a collective name - just a name, not a reality - with Read more

The Naked Mystic: Take this prescription it works every time?

Last updated on: September 25, 2012 at 5:45 pm By David Matthew Brown

So when people wake up in the morning, they start telling themselves a story about their day, they tell others the story, in turn others tell us stories about their day and also tell others our stories. We turn on the TV, read papers, listen to radio, watch theater, film, go to family gatherings, see our partners, and everyone is telling and sharing their stories. We are in endless stories. Most stories are completely made up, some have half truths, others are true, and yet most of time they are simply stories. Everyone wants to be the hero, the savior, the great actor, leader, and nobody wants to just be Read more
