What exactly does Zen Mean?
Originally derived from the Japanese way of life, Zen implies much beyond the basic meaning of word. Zen in its essence, means an intense state of focus, incorporating a complete togetherness of body and mind. State of Zen involves detaching from stuff going around you and being able to focus and visualize on a deeper level with your thought processes.
For the un-initiated understanding the spiritual meaning of Zen is difficult to understand. No one can explain the meaning of Zen to another person, especially a guru or teacher. The spiritual meaning of Zen must be interpreted individually because it is neither a simple question nor an easy answer. It has to be understood by the seeker on his own by becoming practitioner and believing in the philosophy of Buddhism and Meditation.
Urban Jedi: Light Side or Dark Side?
“The Force,” aka the mystical powers from Star Wars, is divided between the Light Side and the Dark Side.

They use The Force primarily for defensive purposes, never using The Force for the purpose of attacking others. The Siths, who represent the Dark Side, operate from a place of anger and hatred. Unlike the Jedis, they use The Force to attack out of aggression.

Look around, the entire city — country? world? — seems to be infected by a disease, harbored on by a deluge of technology. The constant demand for our attention, our need to look fabulous and important, apps with notifications on, games which lead you on to infinite levels — each person we see today is inadvertently hooked onto their smart phones.
6 Tools for Mind Control

If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ If the Answer is ‘no’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
This year, make a commitment
