Zen Gardner, Guest Waking Times I’ve had a habit for many years, as I’m sure many others have, of clearing paths that I travel by foot. I can’t help it. I kick stones out of the way, clear branches, whatever I happen upon. It only makes sense and I’ve never thought anything of it. I …

Julian Wash, Contributor Waking Times Dear Humans, Today I wish to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that words can hardly express.

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times I’m starting out today with a few quotes. The topic is conditioning… and… conditioning.

Osho Waking Times What do you do when you go to a Hindu temple, or a Mohammedan mosque, or a Christian church, or a synagogue? – you are worshiping things which you yourself have created. And that shows man’s utter stupidity: first you carve a statue of God and then you prostrate yourself before it. …

Antony Sammeroff, Contributor Waking Times Most of us are trapped in a prison of our own substance and we don’t even know what the bars are made of. They are not of our circumstances, or even of our reactions to them per se. More often than not they are the fear of our own emotions. …
Osho Waking Times If the world has evolution as the goal, then what will be the goal of evolution? Why evolution at all? Why in the first place? You will have to create another abstraction, and it will be a regress Ad Infinitum. Whatsoever you fix as the goal, the question will remain relevant about that. Why? …
Dr. Stewart Bitkoff, Contributor Waking Times While we are living in unsettled times, it seems that many periods in human history have been that way.

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times This is the time of year when we can wind down, go to the starry night within, and get a feeling of our human experience: contemplating this holographic, mathematical universe of which we are one tiny fraction, and yet the entire whole.

OSHO Waking Times Love is risky. To love is to move into danger-because you cannot control it, it is not safe. It is not within your hands. It is unpredictable. Somehow, from the very childhood, we are being crippled. Our roots with the heart are cut. We are forced towards the head and we are …
