The Light at the End of the Tunnel Is Not the Illusion, the Tunnel Is
The self is looking for "this." But what is this? Well, this is exactly what is happening. There is reading of this—the eyes are reading, the brain is processing this word. That's this; sitting on the chair is this. The hands moving over the words is this. But that never satisfies the self. The self is always looking for something. It feels something is missing; it is walking down a dark tunnel waiting to get to the light. But the light is all there is, and there is no tunnel and no one walking down it. Maybe the thing that the self is waiting for is the end of "me," the self. The self is a seeker, always looking for more. When there is no longer any seeking, there is no self. But it is seen in liberation that there is no self, and there never was one; so, therefore, there really is no liberation. But there is a vast difference. The mind changes its environment, and there is no longer a centralised person who watches through the eyes of what it feels is its body living in a house, in a town or city or village in a country on Earth in the universe. This is the universe; there is no "out there," or another time, or any time—there is only this. This.

How I Met My Lifelong Partner
I'm a type 1 diabetic and, much like relationships, diabetes found me when I least expected it. And then, very much unlike relationships, I couldn't get rid of the bugger when I didn't want it anymore. I was diagnosed in January 2016, just before I turned 22. There I was, having a wonderful time in my final year of university, when diabetes crept up on me. You little sausage, diabetes. For anyone who didn't go to uni, by the way, the three years there are a lot like the first three Spider-Man films: the first one starts out strong, the second one is passable, and then the third one makes absolutely no sense. I am talking about that hilariously awkward dance scene that Peter Parker does in Spider-Man 3...Literally, what was the relevance of that other than to make the audience hate Tobey Maguire?

A New Lifestyle
It's 7:10AM and I woke up about an hour ago. I watched a couple of videos on, "How to become a morning person" the night before and I was truly inspired... motivated. Mind you, I have had times like this before, where I felt that I needed a lifestyle change, where I needed to utilize my time of day doing something more productive and meaningful than sleeping in until mid-day and wasting the rest of the day accomplishing the bare minimum. But this time it was different, this time I told myself, "It's now or never Shawd! Get to it!" So I did.
