Is Spiritualism the New materialism ?

This whole “new age” of spiritualism sometimes makes me want to stop and look.. really look at what is happening.’

Everytime there is a situation that gets difficult to handle ,
we bring in the ..”other” truth ,and the paradoxes..and the duality …

Can we adequately handle ..the singularity.. of this moment and life?

Are we moving from an addiction to materialism to an addiction of spiritualism??

Is our “Search” for the me ..really ..a disownment of what is?....
Just dressed up in a really ..thoughtful way?

Is our need for discernment ..really a “profound”: guise to look for self affirming proof?
Of a need for an alternative reality??

And the more important question..why?

We have difficulty enough with the illusion of One world or ‘reality’ …
how then are we going to look for existence in the ‘other’ real world….

How can we talk about “The Ultimate profound truth” when we have difficulty saying.. ”I want to eat vada pav …now”

I don’t have the answers…I just have some spontaneous questions…

Then again ..you can also say..
”Maybe it’s just You” :)

Masterpiece



Blank canvass
Thoughtful visage
Mindful presence
Poised being

The brush ..held
Silent in midair

Crisp morning breeze
Gentle
Encouraging
Coaxing
For him to go on…

Contemplation.

The many pictures
Crossing his minds eye
Landscapes
Portraits
Flowers
Rivers
People
Things

What a dilemma.

Minutes turn into Hours
And hours to days
Years

The Man morphs to another person
The what-if has changed what-is.

Twilight fast approaching
With nothing to lose
With a sense of abandon

The man dips
His hands in the raw paint
And
For the first time
In his life as an artist
Feels the canvass

A Masterpiece is born
