Yogan's Journey to Life

Max opened his eyes. He looked around and he saw he was in a deep valley. There were boulders around, and people carrying boulders up the sides of the valley. Max spoke to one of the people nearby. She explained that these boulders are your potential lives. You can pick and choose a boulder to take up out of the valley to live your life. Max walked around looking at the boulders. They were of varying sizes. He thought to himself that it must be easier to get out of the valley with the smaller boulder. He went out to see the other people. Throughout the day he watched and conversed with the people. He learned that even with the smallest boulders few ever get out or leave the valley. And something else he noticed. Everyone chose the smallest boulders. He asked them, why do you chose the smallest boulders. They said in response, “you know why, just ask your mind.” And they were right because he previously thought that it was easier to carry one of the smaller boulders. Yet desp...

Charlie the TV Box: Assigning Purpose In a house, in a town, somewhere was Charlie. He sat all day on a table, and faced the couch. He had a nice big screen, not too big like one of those more expensive models. But big enough, and big enough for what? Well, Charlie was a TV box. He sat all day and all night, and would play programming. That is what he did. Depending on the day of the week and who was home, he would play certain programs. Maybe movies, or a culinary show.

I asked Charlie the above question, and do you know what he said? No, it wasn’t. Because he knew living is not what he did, despite that he h...

The Magical Box Have you ever heard the story about magical the box? It goes like this...  On a pyramid somewhere, on the very top, lies a magical box. To open this box you need to first climb the pyramid, and you need a special key. What is the key that you need? Energy. So while you climb the pyramid you must gather energy from the lower levels. In each level of the pyramid you will find access to specific energies that will give you access to the next level of the pyramid. It is essential that any who wishes to open the box to gather the energy. The energy is the key to opening the box. And the more energy you bring the longer you can stay in the box. While in the box all its dark and quiet, it feels like heaven/enlightenment, you become like light. It is a box after all so it is pitch black. But you can only stay in there as long as you have energy. Once the energy runs out, you must leave the box, and climb down the pyramid to again gather more energy. This is the only w...
