Maya is a well known concept in Eastern religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, etc, and it is more and more known in New Age circles as well as in Esoteric traditions worldwide.

In life we experience two main emotions: one is pleasure, the other is pain. They come and they go; they are a normal part of the human experience.

It’s a kind of tug-of-war where we say “I want this” and “I don’t want that.” This has the result of causing struggles in our lives.

Knowledge is one of the things that prevent us from awakening. Why? We think we know many things and knowing these things keeps us from being awake. To gain awareness we need to unlearn what we know, or think we know. We need to let go of every piece of knowledge and just be.

The other night I was sitting in my apartment feeling a bit lonely. So I decided to text a friend, let’s call him Nate, and asked if he wanted to come over and catch up on stories from the summer.
