Zen Stoic Path ShowThe View From AboveIt is so easy for us to miss the forest through the trees. We live in the age of the “selfie.” The widespread perspective has become warped, where everything revolves around our own perception of ourselves. This causes us to put an undue amount of significance on everything we say and do while taking everything personally. One of the most valuable skills we can cultivate is self-awareness. Self-awareness is typically assumed as one’s preferences in life and “knowing yourself.” But this mentality leads more towards self-obsession. Self-awareness is cultivated by zooming out from self-obsession and seeing the nature of who you are...2021-07-2709 min

Zen Stoic Path ShowAudience Q&A: How do I move past my regrets and let go of the past?“We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears.” -Alan Watts2021-07-2208 min
Zen Stoic Path ShowWhat Happens When You Hoard Your PotentialYou don’t have to sacrifice all practicality in order to pursue your creative passions. There is no rule that your creative passions need to become your vocation and that you need to do what you love every day. What happens to that creative energy when it’s suppressed? Life is full of pain, suffering, and unpleasant emotions. Our creative energy is born out of these experiences, and failing to explore and express these things through our creative outputs can be the path to resolving what we think to be meaningless suffering. What if your creative aspirations were a form of th...2021-07-2111 min
Zen Stoic Path ShowA Noble Goal“One of the key paradoxes in Buddhism is that we need goals to be inspired, to grow, and to develop, even to become enlightened, but at the same time we must not get overly fixated or attached to these aspirations. If the goal is noble, your commitment to the goal should not be contingent on your ability to attain it, and in pursuit of our goal, we must release our rigid assumptions about how we must achieve it. Peace and equanimity come from letting go of our attachment to the goal and the method. That is the essence of acceptance." — Dala...2021-07-2012 min

Life is difficult, there is pain and suffering and sometimes, we would love nothing more than for there to be a quick fix, or for things to be easier and less difficult.

Zen Stoic Path ShowAudience Q&A: Is Happiness Overrated?We hear people say all the time, “I want to be happy,” or “do what makes you happy.”This advice is hardly useful in any practical way because what we think makes us happy is actually an abstraction of actual happiness. Happiness is not a thing you can go and get, it is a state of being, yet most people associate the concept of happiness with an external result or outcome. There’s a lot of “I’ll be happy if/when” type of mentality out there.You cannot pursue happiness because there is nothing to chase. It's not running from you.Imagine...2021-07-1508 min
Zen Stoic Path ShowTrying To Get Rid of Your Ego"Repeated efforts to be one-up on the universe may eventually reveal their futility. Don’t try to get rid of the ego-sensation. Take it, so long as it lasts, as a feature or play of the total process — like a cloud or wave, or like feeling warm or cold, or anything else that happens of itself. Getting rid of one’s ego is the last resort of invincible egoism! It simply confirms and strengthens the reality of the feeling. But when this feeling of separateness is approached and accepted like any other sensation, it evaporates like the mirage that it is. Th...2021-07-1408 min

On the occasion of an accidental event, don’t just react in a haphazard fashion: remember to turn inward and ask what resources you have for dealing with it. Dig deeply. You possess strengths you might not realize you have. Find the right one. Use it.” -Epictetus"Waste no more time a...2021-07-1307 min
Zen Stoic Path ShowKnowing Right From WrongWhen we judge others, we are actually judging ourselves. Humans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them or learn to bear them.' -Marcus AureliusContinuing to judge someone after the moment of noticing their wrongdoing rather than teaching them better or giving them feedback only serves to hold you back from freeing yourself.Silent judgement in your own mind or gossiping continuously about others keeps the noise going.

Zen Stoic Path ShowThe Rational Faculty We have all been given the advice to act rationally and make decisions based on logic without emotion. Unfortunately, this advice sees humans in an overly optimistic light. We are ALL emotional and primarily operate within our preconceived biases, prejudices, limited perceptions (ALL of which are rooted in emotion). Not every decision is so simple or black and white. Thinking and reasoning are required.Making decisions without the rational faculty makes us take our emotions literally, and act impulsively.The key is understanding how to use emotion and rationality. Buddhism sees both emotion and logic as equally illusory (this is im...2021-06-2911 min
