Introduction - Invitation
This blog is created to open some space where we can share our thoughts, questions and answers about our lives.
What makes us anxious, fearful, angry, restless, greedy, and sad?
And what makes us happy, relaxed, joyful, and enthusiastic?
I hope we can pause in our tracks and look at ourselves from a bigger prospective.
Get out of our small struggling minds and have a larger view on who we are, why are we here, and where are we going.
What is the point of our everyday efforts?
What prevents us from being joyful, open, and generous?
Why do we fight and who do we fight with?
Do we really win when we think we won and do we lose when we think we lost?
Do we radiate friendliness, peace, and humor?
Or do we create confusion and anger?
Are we driven by greed and poverty mentality?
Are we confined by stereotypes and habits?
Can we stop in our chase for comfort and happiness and have a fresh open look at reality?
Can we relax and open our minds enough
- to accept and embrace ourselves and others?
- to go beyond the conditioning of right and wrong?
- to go beyond good and bad, happy and sad?
- to trust that we are good enough the way we are?
Is there anything wrong with our lives at all?
We invite everyone to express opinions or questions on these and related matters.

We don't really think about these things. Living at a pace of a modern life does not usually leave space for it. But it is certainly worth to look into.
Inner peace is something that can bring true happinness.
larger view on who we are, why are we here, and where are we going - "self-observing" as Gurdjieff called it, along with detailed description of how to do it right... :)
the best thing is to be able to rest in the larger view of oneself. rest without liking or,even, sometimes not liking :)) what one sees.
larger view of oneself is very much like seeing tiny busy crowds on a street from the height of n-th floor. the people-dots down below are like one's thoughts - yes, they are running in all directions. :)
at least from n-th floor one can see where are they going :)
as for why they are here...
it seems to me, that the way out from a private world into external is impossible. It is illusion. And objectivity is illusion as well. While we staying noble, opened, fair and objective … nevertheless, we can not become the same in global meaning. We can to fly right, making some efforts. We will seem to that a good example for an environment.
however, if we could stop the world running around and from the freeze frame to look round, abstracting from the daily contacts with our world, we’ll inevitably feel, that behavior isn’t paramount. In other words, the sense not in that. The sense is something inaccessible for understanding. That is a meaning of sense.
otherwise it would be impossible to organize any progress (or regress – doesn’t matter). But it is possible to THEM.
as for why we are here...
thoughts about meaning of sense once came to me while looking at all-glass enclosed "ant farm" in a museum. One can see how every ant has its own, one and only, thing to do in a community. It does not really know about other's destinies.. their "behaviours" together make the anthill work - people make cities work the same way...does it make sense?
as for why
