Man’s Search for Meaning

It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life — daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but […]

Iluvatar’s Intervention

Iluvatar’s intervention does not remove the significance of the choices made by the Children of Iluvatar, but in many ways, it can redeem those choices. Or; to put it in another way, the characters are responsible only for their own choices and not for the outcome of those choices; they are responsible for the means, […]

Freedom of Choice

Nothing that happens to me can be bad. But you chose to hurt me. Now I got hurt. It shouldn’t have happened. The pain you gave to me shouldn’t have happened, cause you shouldn’t have done that to me. Here’s where it becomes complicated: nothing that ever happens to me can be bad because everything […]

Be The Cause

Each individual experiences life in two worlds. There is the outer world and there is the inner world. One is the realm of the effect while the other is the realm of the cause. When we surrender to the sensory impressions of the outer world, then life is in the realm of effect, and we […]

On Freedom

We can only escape from the world by outgrowing the world. Death may take man out of the world but only wisdom can take the world out of the man. As long as the human being is obsessed by worldliness, he will suffer from the Karmic consequences of false allegiances. When however, worldliness is transmuted […]

Change…Starts From Within

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But, it too, seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight […]

Life is hard for two reasons:

“Because you are leaving your comfort zone, or because you are staying in it.” Change is painful, especially when it comes to changing oneself. That is why most of us don’t change. Or, we will only start to make changes when the pain of not changing becomes greater than the pain of changing, which is […]

Beyond Law Of Attraction

One of the most popular (and misunderstood) concepts, derived from the quantum theory, is the concept of “law of attraction”. Like attracts like. “As long as I think positively, I will attract only ‘good stuff’ into my life”. Yet, three months down the line, things fall apart. The business deal falls through; the partner runs […]

The Alchemist

“My heart is a traitor.” the boy said to the alchemist, when they had paused to rest the horses. “It doesn’t want me to go on.” “That makes sense,” the alchemist answered. “Naturally it’s afraid that, in pursuing your dream, you might lose everything you’ve won.” “Well, then, why should I listen to my heart?” […]

Kasia Mikolajczyk

I don’t really know where to begin. There have been several events that really determined my journey. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been wanting to be a peace-maker. I always felt quite uncomfortable when seeing people in violence. I didn’t understand why. When I was nine, I got interviewed by a Polish writer. […]
