The Path
Many people have asked me why I’m still a monk after almost 3 years, while initially the plan was to be a monk for just 3 months. In fact, to me monkhood is nothing much, it’s just wearing a different uniform, from Dockers’ pants to saffron robes, or like working in a different firm. What’s [...]

Warning: Spoilers ahead! Watching Spiderman 3 reveals a part of the Hero’s Journey that is not often seen; the hero’s downfall.

26. June 2006
When I was coaching motivational workshops, I saw a lot of people who were ‘workshop junkies’; they’d be landing from workshop to workshop, seemingly learning loads, but never really producing fantastic results in their own lives. While my fellow coaches and I discussed many reasons as to why, lately I realized another elegant way it could [...]

18. April 2006
Last night I slept and I dreamt. It’s a wonderful dream: I am victorious and claiming the Treasure after vanquishing the Evil One. I would love to stay in that dream. Who wouldn’t? I was jerked back into Reality when someone dropped this on Me and was rendered unconscious. It documents what I am to expect for the journey [...]

13. April 2006
I am taking a tentative step out of the Ordinary World in response to the Call to Adventure. I am aware and it has become painful enough…even to realise that it’s going to be too painful to do anything. BUT… Where the fuck is my Wise Mentor like they say there will be? No fairy-god-mother-look-alike, wand-waving, sagely [...]

12. April 2006
I stare out in the Ordinary World. Watching it as it passes me by, not even being aware of what’s happening around me. I have been conditioned to be numb, to think small, to do only the required and sometimes even falling short of it. I am defender of the status quo, basking in the security [...]

9. April 2006
First week of work and it’s been busy, busy. Mostly because I’m picking up a new software (Adobe Aftereffects), and also because my company had their open house this week for their new office. The open house was fun, and I even got a chance to practice the rapport building visualization on our landlord! This is a [...]

22. March 2006
The Ordinary World You started out in the Ordinary World of your life, with nothing but a nagging notion that things could be better than the status quo you saw all around you, that there must be something more to life. The Call to Adventure That nagging feeling built up until you couldn’t take it anymore, and you [...]
