Amazing when nature provides illustrations of deep philosophical concepts! This majestic tree almost jumped out in front of me, capturing my attention on my evening walk..Well not really, but it did highlight the illusion of duality! The tree apparently started growing in two at some stage of its life. Today the leaves at the very...]]> http://www.deviniyer.com/social-sharing/the-illusion-of-duality/feed 0 http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/wisdom-is-alive-and-growing http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/wisdom-is-alive-and-growing#comments Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:07:22 +0000 admin http://www.deviniyer.com/?p=154

Because we hear terms like “ancient wisdom” and “wisdom of the ancients”, many believe that wisdom is something that is decidedly old, passed down the ages, static or complete. It is true that collectively, as the human race, we have largely lost our way, and in a sense strayed from wisdom. This is clear to...]]> http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/wisdom-is-alive-and-growing/feed 0 http://www.deviniyer.com/social-sharing/corporate-masquerade-game-is-over http://www.deviniyer.com/social-sharing/corporate-masquerade-game-is-over#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:37:26 +0000 admin http://www.deviniyer.com/?p=152

One of the biggest causes of the massive inequalities of our modern times is unbridled corporate greed. Massive corporations now rule the earth. But most of them operate for the sake of profit above all else, with little or no regard for the common good. In order to cut corporations down to size, they must...]]> http://www.deviniyer.com/social-sharing/corporate-masquerade-game-is-over/feed 0 http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/the-perfect-argument-is-the-world-perfect-or-not http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/the-perfect-argument-is-the-world-perfect-or-not#comments Sat, 21 Jan 2012 07:45:21 +0000 admin http://www.deviniyer.com/?p=149

I’m sure you’ve heard the argument a hundred times before – your spiritually aware, new-age-leaning, gentle hippie friend says “Ah, but it’s all perfect!” And sooner than you can allow yourself to contemplate that, your other friend, a self-proclaimed  pragmatist, an undying realist, shouts: “But how can you say that?! With all the war, and...]]> http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/the-perfect-argument-is-the-world-perfect-or-not/feed 0 http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/celebrate-your-individuality http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/celebrate-your-individuality#comments Thu, 19 Jan 2012 09:00:43 +0000 admin http://www.deviniyer.com/?p=147

When you're on the spiritual path and faced with the ego and individuality, it's helpful to differentiate between differentiation and separation. Move beyond the separation, but not beyond individuality. ]]> http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/celebrate-your-individuality/feed 0 http://www.deviniyer.com/recommends/bloggisher-a-new-blogging-platform-could-be-yours http://www.deviniyer.com/recommends/bloggisher-a-new-blogging-platform-could-be-yours#comments Wed, 18 Jan 2012 08:56:09 +0000 admin http://www.deviniyer.com/?p=146

What do you get when you combine Blogger with Publisher? That’s right – Bloggisher! So is Bloggisher a new blogging platform? Not yet, but it could be…and it could be yours! As you may know Blogger.com is Google’s blogging popular platform.

“Seems like everyone is either an environmentalist, a revolutionary or a light worker. Seems like we’re right on track then!” These words led to a lively conversation when I posted them on facebook a while ago. While this is not literally true, it’s enlightening to see that it needn’t be! For significant positive change to...]]> http://www.deviniyer.com/a-brighter-world/want-to-change-the-world-make-a-bigger-impact-with-other-changemakers/feed 0 http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/life-in-a-paragraph http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/life-in-a-paragraph#comments Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:09:36 +0000 admin http://www.deviniyer.com/?p=141

While chatting with an old friend the other day, she was expressing how wonderful it is to have so much knowledge so readily available to us these days – especially pertaining to life and the bigger picture. She was quick to add, though, that this often leads to information overload, and leaves her at a...]]> http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/life-in-a-paragraph/feed 0 http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/money-love-and-light http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/money-love-and-light#comments Wed, 28 Sep 2011 09:45:42 +0000 admin http://www.deviniyer.com/?p=122

There was a time when I turned away from the world of money in favour of following a spiritual path. I spent a few years in India as a contemplative monk, and engaged in deep philosophical enquiry into life. I wanted nothing more… But there was no escaping the world of money! Life in this...]]> http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/money-love-and-light/feed 0 http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/lets-activate-the-value-spectrum http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/lets-activate-the-value-spectrum#comments Tue, 27 Sep 2011 19:41:01 +0000 admin http://www.deviniyer.com/?p=117

With value all around us, and most especially within us, the current (manipulated, monopolised, oppressive) monetary system places value on only a small spectrum of our world – just like visible light compared to the entire spectrum of light. Value goes beyond  precious metals, fossil fuels and products, and time, and services. There’s value in...]]> http://www.deviniyer.com/light-on-life/lets-activate-the-value-spectrum/feed 0
