It was a head to head race. Who would win – the chimpanzees or me. After I crossed the finish line, I made it. I beat the chimpanzees, but I knew there was still no reason for feeling victorious.
I was blown away by my lack of some basic knowledge about human socio-economics. I just started to read Hans Roslings' excellent book "Factfulness".
“How are you these days?”, a friend asked me recently.
This is the only relevant question that remains these days because of Covid-19. The usual reply came to my lips, but that's where it stopped.
I have many problems in my life, but my lips don't know that. They always smile."- Charles Chaplin
Throughout my years, I have learned many techniques that incorporate relaxation as the most important first step on that all other methods are based upon. May it be Meditation, Contemplation, Visualization, Silva Mind Control, Psycho-Cybernetics, Hypnosis, Self-Hypnosis, Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Autogenic Training, or you name it.
Have You Noticed? I Was Out AND There Is Life After Blog-Death.If you’re an old fellow to UYM you might have noticed that I have been away for a while (well it has been over a year). Most people will tell you that such a blog is virtually death. But I found out that there is life after death and even during death - read on. Find out why I rather preferred a painful blog-death than becoming a regurgitating cow.

"Problems in relationships occur because each person is concentrating on what is missing in the other person. " ~Wayne Dyer
Our love relationships can bring out the child in us. Not just childish behaviors, although they bring out plenty of those too. I'm talking about the real child we once were umpteen years ago when we lived at home with parents and siblings and two cats in the yard. Or whatever your experience happened to be.

If there is one thing that I learned from my life in general and all my spiritual revelations than it is that forgiving is not something that needs to happen between you and a God (let’s just assume that this one's automatic and a done deal no matter what spiritual concept you are following) - but it needs to happen within yourself.
I always liked the quote of Heinrich Heine:
“Of course God will forgive me; that's His job.“
But what is in the nature of God and therewith easy for him to do is mostly very hard for ourselves.
We all are carrying a heavy load of things we cannot forgive ourselves and/or things we beat ourselves up on a regular basis for being the way we don't want ourselves to be.
If people hear this statement at first they might think of this as another version of "The end justifies the means". But on the contrary Pono states that the choice of the means defines the end. If you select violence as a means, then peace will never be your end. If you use force as a means to settle for peace, then the state you get into might look like peace for a while, but you have not built peace from the inside out and therefore the mask of peace will shatter one day and up will come the underlying frustration and hate through an explosion of violence.
Most religions, philosophies and even sciences define the individual as pretty powerless. It doesn't matter whether the source of power is defined as God, fate, a philosophical principle, society, the government, the past, your genes, your parents or any other external force of god or evil - power is nearly always somewhere else. At least that's what is at the back of most peoples mind.Huna is quite radically on the opposite side of the spectrum - it's 6th principle Mana defines that ALL power is coming from you. Note here that there are NO limits to this - ALL power to define your existence is within you. Let's look at the consequences if you accept this to be true.
Sometimes the side effects of love described in novels or songs reminds us of vitamin deficiency or acute illnesses (lack of sleep, loss of appetite, heart palpitations, dizziness, fever, colds, sudden outbreaks of transpiration, etc.)With Huna however the definition of love is very clear. The hawaiian word for love is Aloha. It is a compound of "alo" which means "being together, sharing and experience in the here and now" and "oha" which means "sympathy, joy".
