Delusion

What is the difference between truth and delusion?

Which one do we encounter more often?

Let’s take a closer look.

Imagine a photograph: a glass ball capturing a crisp, inverted reflection of its surroundings, while the background behind it remains blurred.

What do you notice first?

Did your eyes focus on the sharp image inside the glass ball? If so, you're like the majority. Drawn to clarity, you see what seems real—but is it? The image inside the ball is inverted, yet it appears more structured than the world outside it. This is the essence of delusion: an illusion of order that distracts from the bigger picture.

If you noticed the blurred background first, you might be among the rare few who see beyond illusions. You recognize the distortion, the hidden reality. Truth is seldom obvious; it requires attention to detail and a willingness to question perception.

Delusion is common. Truth is rare. Yet, delusion isn’t always the enemy.

Think of dreams. A dream is a form of delusion—an imagined reality. But when pursued with action, it transforms into truth. The danger lies in mistaking dreams for reality without effort.

As Robin S. Sharma put it, "Ideation without execution is delusion."

So, dream. Envision. But most importantly—act. Because truth isn’t just about seeing clearly; it’s about making clarity real.

Fasting: A Discipline for the Body, A Feast for the Soul

"Fasting is not just a physical discipline, it can be a spiritual feast." Jentezen Franklin Across different religions and cultures, fasting has remained a common spiritual practice—one of the earliest forms of worship and meditation, a way to connect with the Divine. But why do we fast? How does it affect us psychologically? There is a theory that when a person fasts, their veins contract slightly, regulating blood flow. This balance is believed to help in maintaining overall well-being. But does "blood flow" really matter? And if so, how does it impact us? Consider an electric cooler: if the water supply is too fast or too slow, the system malfunctions. Similarly, fasting helps regulate our bodily functions. The human body is like a machine—it needs a steady but controlled flow of nutrients. When this system is maintained, the soul aligns, bringing mental clarity and emotional stability. Fasting helps us recognize how much nourishment our body truly needs and w...

LIFE

Scenario #1: Warriors! Wait… are you still breathing? That’s life! Life will challenge you, knock you down, and sometimes feel like it’s too much to bear.

Sky Gaze

Have You Ever Seen the Night Sky? Why do we look up at the night sky? Night is dark. And sometimes, life feels just like that—like the weight of the night has settled over you, leaving nothing but darkness in sight. We've all heard it before: "Look for the bright side." But have you ever truly looked? The next time you find yourself gazing up at the night sky, take a moment to really see it. Notice how the brightest stars twinkle where the sky is the darkest.They don’t just exist in the void—they illuminate it. Life, too, has its dark moments. When it feels like the walls are closing in, like the weight of the world is pressing down on you, look up. The sky will remind you of something profound: the universe is vast. The struggles you face, no matter how heavy, are but a small part of something greater. So embrace the darkness, not as a void, but as a backdrop for your own light to shine. Be like that star—radiant, unwavering, and a beacon for others who may also be lost ...
