I was recently watching clips from one of my favorite movies, Waking Life, and as always, discovered even more good material in the movie that I must have glanced over before. But my favorite scene hasn’t changed, and I’ve decided to share it with you now:
The most insightful and thought-provoking [...]
Can’t understand that recent dream?
“All I can do is share my dream about your dream – fortunately, when we do this, something good almost always comes of it… I have noticed that dreams are as simple or as complicated as the dreamer is himself, only they are always a little bit ahead of the dreamer’s [...]
What if death wasn’t viewed as an end, but instead as something to work towards with the entirety of your life? How might this perspective change the way you live life, today?

And since it’s Hallow’s Eve, I thought it the perfect [...]
“They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn’t you say the same thing about life?”–Waking Life
I’m thinking about all the gurus on Youtube these days…
Because last night I used Western technology (and language, for that matter) to give a presentation on Eastern concepts, an often overlooked but growing phenomenon. Ignite Boulder was an event organized by Andrew Hyde, the founder of Startup Weekend, and my presentation was about Lucid [...]
Just started reading the above title by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu and I’m enjoying the casual flow of his wisdom. It seems to me like not only does this master know a lot about the dreamworld, but his experiences are cross-cultural too. One example that’s really struck me so far was that when he [...]
