  • I just… I never got to the point where I was like ‘This is the one for me.’

    I get this a lot! :) I think it has to be more than just reading but physically experiencing it. Meditation and university classes did it for me.

    I was always pulled away by other ideas in Hinduism or Gnostic Christianity, or Sufism.

    What about those ideas draws you?









  • Trying to beat the market is a waste of time. You’re not stuck in an unprofitable investment unless you’re trying to get rich quick. You invest based on your strategy and value of said investment. It isn’t just because the number goes up and down. Time in the market wins every time. Read the founder of Vanguard’s book on investing.










  • Buddhist, I was more Christian. Growing up in a fundamentalist church and becoming more intellectual drove me to ask big question that Christianity didn’t answer for me. Causes and conditions allowed me to encounter Buddhism when I was living in Japan and it’s grown in me ever since. I really liked how Zen meditation made me feel. Very different from being told to pray but there was nothing and also no unstructured. Buddhism has clear practices and results. I know it has “supernatural” elements but it’s all mostly logical to me and I like that
