Hard Work?

Tibetan ( 卐 ) depiction of Mahakala ( महाकाल ): The Protector of the Dharma ( धर्म ) Hard Work? Sunday – June 14, 2026 I n our times there is a lot of talk about hard work, as if hard work in and of itself will produce great results. Of course, the reality is that hard work in and of itself is quite worthless, even in the most corporeal sense imaginable , because what modern people demand and expect is always great comfort, and if a man is a hard worker yet his work fails to produce great comfort, he should expect a low wage. To put it in more technical terms: if you are working hard but the work you are doing is in low demand and there is a lot of supply of the kind of work that you are doing, then you should expect a low wage, regardless of the amount of work, hard or not, that you put in, read " What is Capitalism? ". So, essentially the whole concept of working hard is really nothing but a big fat lie , and I would submit to you that the objective of this "big fat li...

Failure

"Life is a succession of choices, what is yours?" By Javier Allegue Barros Failure | Saturday – June 13, 2026 F ailure... Failures... Indeed, life is full of them and I have had my "fair share" of them, and I am also continuing to have them, which is okay. I guess what I am trying to express is a somewhat modern sentiment here: if failure is an option, it would be prudent to avoid that option. The fact is of course that failure, more often than not, is something that happens to you whether or not you like it; it affects you and you are left to deal with it or not deal with it. Of course, what failures do is that they emphasize the many ways of life, sometimes too much, but often just enough, because one could use failure as a tool to become more productive, because if you are a failure then there is plenty of room to improve. Sometimes however, it becomes clear—often if you have failed and failed again—that improvement indeed is not an option and that instead you n...

Yahweh in (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush Boredom | Friday – June 12, 2026 B oredom is one annoying little fly, but boredom happens to you, boredom happens to me, and really boredom happens to pretty much everyone. Now, for the most part it is perfectly normal to feel bored and for most of history people had no problem just existing in the moment, and indeed it was actually "normal" to be bored for some amount of time. Of course, today it is considered quite bad to be bored, because people are so dependent on continual amusement and stimulation in this dope filled world, read " Addiction " and " Further Notes on Addiction ".     Of course, I am bored quite frequently, because I allow myself to be bored. In fact, often I seek boredom because I know that I will find hope, read " Is There Hope? ", in boredom; whenever I am bored, I know that the world around me, the small world, is just right and ordered in accordance with properly applied prin...

The Puritan Fallacy

Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of Tantric ( तन्त्र ) goddess Bhairavi ( भैरवी ) and her consort Shiva ( शिव ) depicted as Kāpālika ascetics ( कापालिक ) The Puritan Fallacy | Thursday – June 11, 2026 I n some ways "Puritanism" can be helpful , but more often than not people who obsess over being pure this and pure that, have one or two skeletons in their closet. Particularly this appears to be the case with fundamentalists , read " The Hypocrisy of the Pious ", who use puritanism, often as it pertains to the sensual arts, to cloak themselves in lies that tell a story of something that simply is not the case, while this also allows them to demean the actions of other men, and according to many psychoanalysts this would be a case of "projection", a kind of projection of one's own deceit, which makes these false preachers another kind of counterfeit that you will be sure to encounter in the modern world . Noise and politics is really their modus operandi  and of ...
