Tsunami Beaches: a tale of love and loss, hope and despair, innocence and passion When you look at a beach and say "this is paradise" or when you look at garbage and say "this is trash" the wording itself has so habituated your mind that the emotion it creates comes between you and what you actually see. To experience the true reality of that beach or trash, you must thus observe beyond words or labels, your heart must touch it. To grasp reality you must disregard outer labels, and let your innermost innocent matter observe what is there, with true love and affection. Love cannot be based on...

How can we survive when we are under constant attack? How can we survive when our home is destroyed and loved ones are dead? One answer is about total surrender to reality, to what is in our minds, inside our bodies, and outside in the immense word around us. A second answer is about letting you die, every day, to everything you ever wanted to have, or never wanted to lose. True meditation is about observing objects or thoughts as they are, without interference from your disturbing cognitive mind.

Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince" is half a millennium old but is more important now than ever before. The book is easy to understand and your heart knows that its suggestions are true. It describes our endless combat for power. It tells us how we may become princes and how we then keep that position. I have condensed The Prince into few words. Historical accounts are omitted and replaced by hand-dyed drawings of 60 flowers and one snake, to assist attention and contemplation. The illustrations also remind you that conflicts and politics relentlessly change, whereas the social mechanisms...

Niccolo Machiavellis bok Fursten ar ett halvt artusende gammal men ar nu viktigare an nagonsin tidigare. Boken ar latt att lasa och man forstar intuitivt att det som star dar ar sant. Den beskriver psykologin bakom manniskornas eviga stridigheter. Den forklarar hur man handlar for att bli furste och hur man sedan blir kvar vid makten. I boke har jag fortatat Machiavellis text till fa ord. Hans omfattande historiska redogorelserna ar ersatta med 60 handkolorerade bilder pa blommor och en bild pa en orm. Det har jag gjort det for att skarpa lasarens uppmarksamhet och meditationskraft. Det ar...
