Toward a World that Works for Everyone
The election season craziness here in America exemplifies the need to return to the heart. Most of us, including me, have been caught in the maelstrom of American politics. I’ve repeatedly argued my side and found unsurprisingly that I’ve brought nobody new into my corner. For someone with liberal and conservative values, I find it […]
Depending on how you look at it, the world doesn’t always seem like the best place to live. Depending on how I look at it, my life doesn’t always seem like the best I could be leading. Somehow, against all odds, I have hope that things will get better. There appears to be a never-ending […]
To me, being openhearted is nothing sensational. It doesn’t require a radical transformation in the way you live, but in the long run, this small and subtle change can make a difference. Being openhearted means simply to treat others with respect and kindness no matter their race, gender, religion, or political views. It is a […]
My philosophy is simple. It requires no devotion or scripture reading. No offense to those who believe in these things; they just don’t work for me. I’m far from an atheist, but I see no need to let any spiritual authority tell me how to walk my path. My religion is built on love and […]
On Saturday, May 5th, I made a post on social media about religion. I’d like to expand upon it here. I wrote: “Some of the worst people in the world are the religious ones who sh*t on everyone else’s beliefs/lifestyle.

(Continued from part 1. Read full post here.) Love Makes Spirituality Real An absence of love is one reason so many people struggle with spirituality, positivity, and similar concepts. I’d imagine it seems like fantasy to them; a belief system no different from religion used only for comfort and assurance of an afterlife, along with […]
This is a part of The Teachers Speak, a series of articles on the Culture of Awareness and Openhearted Rebel. Love will change the world and show the way to enlightenment. It’ll bring our awareness to anything within that prevents us from being effective agents of change, and it’ll help us slow down the mind […]
Credit: lovethispic.com I used to have a column on the Culture of Awareness called ‘Love Yourself’ in which I shared a few words on confidence, self-love, empowerment, and other similar topics. I encouraged readers to focus on loving and accepting themselves before trying to help others, because in my opinion, we’ll be miserable if we […]
