I am no spiritual guru and I have definitely not attained nirvana. I am very much the average middle class guy trying to work towards a happy life. Like the tortoise. But I feel there is a process, formula or theory whatever you wish to call it. A way to beat the ladders in Maslow's need theory. A way to beat the basic motivators of life - greed and fear. And work towards the greater good. Something that feeds more than your body. Something that feeds your soul. When I look at great people and their lives, their lives can be divided into three basic parts - chaos, Karma and nirvana. Chaos is the initial self-doubts, the urge to prove themselves, establishing their supremacy in their chosen world. Then they slowly discover their karma. The work that makes them legendary. The work that makes them more than just mortals. Then somewhere nirvana happens. They grow beyond pleasing the outer world. They begin their journey inwards. Their journey towards feeding the soul. Their soul.
Everyday, there are tiny emotions and brain waves - some real and some imaginary, touch us and help us experience something new. Something that we have not experienced before. Something that made us a little older, a little wiser, a little sadder, a little happier and a little more humane....I am trying to catch these thoughts and brainwaves and sharing with you...for you to live them, through my eyes...
