    Why Abundance Is a Mindset

    There’s a particular kind of poverty nobody talks about. It doesn’t show up on a balance sheet. You can have the house, the car, the label on your bag, and still be living in it. I’m talking about being a poor person who happens to have a lot of possessions. You’ve met this person.…

    Demon’s Hand, Buddha’s Heart

    In a world that is completely losing its mental self like the monkey mind juggling bananas, continuing jumping from thought to thought. Just like the turning of each cycle, that comes and goes, humanity will go through various phases and cycles such as the golden age where everything is bright and rosey to our…
