Releasing is a pretty straight forward concept: simply "let go" of any thoughts/feelings/problems you might have — just like dropping a handful of dirt to the floor. There are many releasing techniques available. They're relatively similar though, so I'll discuss the two key ones I've found so far. If you're interested, both of these stem from discoveries …
I'm finding that when I get the same thing occurring in many areas of my life within a very short period of time it's time for me to learn a very specific lesson. Recently I found myself feeling rejected, in various ways, in 6 or 7 different situations over the span of a week or so. …
I was watching an episode of United States of Tara the other day when I had something of a realisation. In case you don't know the show, here's the back story. Tara is a woman with dissociative identity disorder (aka multiple personalities). For the sake of TV, they are 5 (or 6) very distinct & …
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It enables us to look back & say "Oh wow, that was a complete waste of a day.. or 10 years." Wouldn't it be useful to know in advance if something was going to be pointless? Or how about just at the time? Even cutting that wasted 6 months back to …
Particularly in recent years, reading & writing have taken over our lives. We communicate primarily by text an increasing amount of the time. Facebook, Twitter, email, IM, SMS, blogs, forums, the list goes on. There are some very real problems with communicating by text. Asymmetry Unless both parties are typing an equal amount, any text based conversation …
Today I went to see a bunch of dachshunds discuss human rights. No no, I'm not making this up. Really. Check it out for yourself. Anyway, they didn't seem very talkative — although I suspect they made roughly as much progress as the regular UN would have if they'd been plonked in a Melbourne park …

I've been online a very long time. Since the late 80's. That's before what we currently know as the net was much more than a twinkling in a small handful of San Francisco computers. So, I've had a lot of time to think about the intricacies & common pitfalls of meeting someone online. The first …
I got a set of earplugs a few years back, when I was heading off to Burning Man. I saw on them on ebay for, I dunno, maybe 30 bucks. I'm thinking ok, I'll be there ten nights, I want really good earplugs, since people running around with airhorns at 7am is a relatively common …

For January I tried an experiment. No soap when washing myself. Here are my results & thoughts: The first week or so is the worst. My body was obviously flushing something out. I don't know what, but it smelt pretty bad. I had a lot of showers per day. The first couple of weeks I also …

Ever heard that saying "What you resist persists"? Ahh yes. I've noticed a few patterns in my life recently. In general, I've spent the last few years on a bit of a spiritual journey. Clearing out, well, pretty much everything. The downside to this is, as I've got clearer, what remaining crap is there has …
