“If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.” —Carl Sagan

10As we journey through life, through humanity… within this world in which we live, breath, hope and love… I can’t help but think that, though our world seems to suffer much turmoil and crises, there is a proper order to the unverse.

Atoms and subatomic particles flow in and out and through us, comprosing of the very essence of our being. In that sense, we are truly at one with the universe. And we are eternal, luminous beings… originating from starlight…

You Are 21 Years Old


Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what’s to come… love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You’ve had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You’ve been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

ocean swim on memorial day

May 30, 2006 by randomguru · Leave a Comment 

I drove the family (along with two nephews) out to La Jolla Cove yesterday to do some ocean swimming. It was the first time this year to do an ocean swim, and it felt awesome! Rejuvenating!

“Our task must be to free ourselves from ‘this prison’ by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”—Albert Einstein

The water was still quite cold with my board shorts, but I brought my wetsuit and changed into that, and the water felt okay. Lots of fish out there yesterday and the water was quite clear. Though it became murky later in the afternoon. I was surprised at the number of big fish just beyond the point where most of the people were just wading in the shallow waters.

The weather was gorgeous… warm and sunny!

Yoga Master Srimat Kuladananda BrahmacharyHave been very dedicated to Yoga these past few days. Not that I haven’t been doing it before that. It’s basically been a daily ritual. But the past few days have been intense (I feel). Continuing to utilize Yoga as meditation in stilling the mind, reaching toward a more spiritual level.

Today, I was able to do another wonderful Yoga routine early this morning. No serious goals, other than to do Yoga daily and to reach enlightenment. Of course, I’ll let everyone know when I attain enlightenment… and thus share with you my knowledge and experiences as they unfold….

simple things and free from craving for worldly possessions.

Sunset at La Jolla

sunset at la jolla

Just got back a while ago from Children’s Beach in La Jolla to watch the seals and the sunset. The waves were pretty rough today and we got wet when we were on that “bridge”.

I haven’t been in the best of moods today… don’t know why. Possibly because I had a very short yoga routine because my wife was in a hurry to head out the door. Plus, I’m feeling a bit tired because of yesterday’s concert at the Smooth Jazz Festival.

mindfulness

May 25, 2006 by randomguru · 4 Comments 

A good form of meditation…

“Mindfulness or being mindful is being aware of your present moment. You are not judging, reflecting or thinking. You are simply observing the moment in which you find yourself. Moments are like a breath. Each breath is replaced by the next breath. You’re there with no other purpose than being awake and aware of that moment.”

Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines

‘Argue not with the self-conceited;
Vie not with the fortunate;
Disparage not the vengeful;
Have no grudge with the powerful.’

[ a note to myself ]

Some ancient Tibetan wisdom revealed… Tibetan Yoga & Secret Doctrines by W. Y. Evans-Wentz.

My copy of the book is tattered and the pages are coming apart. Nice to see an online version.
