KARMA IN BUDDHISM: SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE

by Colin MacRae | Feb 18, 2024 | Foundations

In modern times, we use the word karma in many ways. ‘Ain’t karma a
bitch’—meaning what ‘Goes around, comes around.’ It can also refer to the Golden
Rule from the Hebrew and Christian Bible: ‘Do unto others what as you would have
them do unto you.’ But, in the context...

WHAT THE DEATH OF MARCUS AURELIUS TEACHES US ABOUT LIFE

by Brechen MacRae | Jan 28, 2024 | People, Stoicism

Marcus Aurelius died in a cold, dark place, but his last words shined bright
with a message of hope: “Go to the rising sun, for I am already setting.” He
delivered these words not to a beloved, but to a guard of the night’s watch in
his military camp near the...

ZEN MEDITATION: HOW TO STOP AND REFLECT FOR WISDOM 

by Brechen MacRae | Jan 14, 2024 | Meditation

MEMENTO VIVERE: HOW TO LIVE WITH AGENCY, GRATITUDE & ENGAGEMENT

by Brechen MacRae | Dec 17, 2023 | Stoicism

Antipater is a lesser-known Stoic, yet he was head of the school during a period
that saw Stoicism extend to public life. Stoic philosophers were sent on
diplomatic missions. Some advised kings. But Antipater’s contributions brought
Stoicism closer to home. He was...

RIGHT MINDFULNESS & RIGHT CONCENTRATION OF THE EIGHTFOLD PATH

by Colin MacRae | Dec 3, 2023 | Foundations, Mindfulness

If I were to define Zen Buddhism, I would do so in two four-word sentences:  
Absolute attention is prayer. Compassion for all beings.   “Zen teaches nothing.
It merely enables us to wake up and become aware. It does not teach; it points.
The truth of Zen is...

INDIFFERENTS IN STOICISM EXPLAINED THROUGH GAIN, LOSS, PLEASURE & PAIN

by Brechen MacRae | Nov 19, 2023 | Stoicism

In the pivotal Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, Michael Jordan battled a severe
flu, yet soared to iconic heights. Against the surging Utah Jazz, he defied
physical limits, sinking clutch shots and leading the Chicago Bulls to a crucial
victory. His resilience showcased...

THE THREE JEWELS OF THE TAO: EMBRACING THE WAY OF WATER

by Colin MacRae | Nov 5, 2023 | Foundations

Well, the first challenge in understanding the Tao is its definition. Translated
literally, 'The Tao' means 'The Way'. The very first verse of this ancient
teaching warns that it’s useless to try to define or name The Tao: The Tao that
can be toldIs not the eternal...

21 HUMAN PERFORMANCE TIPS FOR BUSY PEOPLE

by Brechen MacRae | Oct 8, 2023 | Performance

To say my life is busy is an understatement. Writing this blog is my passion. I
wouldn’t trade it for the world. But writing the blog, two weekly newsletters,
and a book is a tall order. There is no team, there are no editors, web
developers, graphic designers, or...

MEMENTO MORI: EMBRACING LIFE’S IMPERMANENCE IN THE DIGITAL AGE

by Brechen MacRae | Sep 24, 2023 | Stoicism

In the age of smartphones, social media, and endless distractions, the ancient
Stoic concept of Memento Mori has never been more relevant. Loosely translated
as "Remember that you must die," Memento Mori serves as a powerful reminder of
our mortality and the fleeting...

AN EXCERPT FROM OUR LATEST POST | MARCH 18, 2024

I want to share some of my own insights on anger. I’ve noticed that awareness
and understanding can help prevent our anger from harming others. We must be
aware of how anger manifests in our bodies. We must understand the events,
circumstances, and mental and physical states in which we’re most prone to
anger. Because once we know our triggers, we can find ways to disarm them.
