Unicity through diversity.

One of the greatest ego-trips is the belief in individuality.

It is that belief the one originating separation among human beings. That separation expresses itself through a competitive attitude.


If you are number "1" in something, there must be number "2," "3," etc.


"I" need to become this or that. "I" need to arrive there all by myself, with my "own effort," "I" must control "my" life and "my" environment; so I can become successful, well-known, somebody… In that way the world will know about "me" and "my" greatness, and "I" will be an example for humanity to emulate and they will follow "me," and "I" will be teaching them to be "like me," the "right way."


Then, everyone will remember me when "I" die.. and "I" will be helping them from "up above," (so "I" will continue on) so things will move in the "right path," with the "right belief." "I" will be seating next to God, observing, judging, controlling, punishing, criticising, making things "good," for all and helping all… "my way."


The above is an egotistical, childish trip to nowhere.


For many the "reality" of being an individual who can do what he likes when he likes, is enough to create that illusion of separation.


Why is it an illusion?


Because what "I" do, what "I" say to "others" has a consequence which will be experienced by "me."


"I" can do what "I" want, but "I" cannot stop the consequence of "my doings." Moreover, If "I" had wisdom, "I" will not do something which will hurt "me." Right?


But … "reality" is that we typically hurt ourselves at any given day.


Even though it is so simple to understand this principle of interdependence, our imagination and illusory thought; fully believes in our individuality.


There is no one who has taken the life of another being, who has no experienced a return on that.


There is no one who can possibly sit on the right side of God, who has developed an illusory sense of "I," that individuality who is killing the best of humanity.


There is no one who can "go to heaven," without caring for "others" and not just their own little story, their own beliefs and dogmas, their own sense of "security."


Why is it so difficult to look at the Ocean and see that Ocean as part of "me"?

Isn't that Ocean helping me survive? Can we see that far?

Humanity is a story, which has already been written. Things will happen as they have to. It is when "I" separate from that story, to create my "own," when "I" create suffering for "me."


All of our own beliefs are supported by this idea of individuality, separation.


The irony resides in labelling "others" who perceive the unicity of diversity as "infantile," by doing that, we create the separation of "you" and "me," which is the greatest illusion of the mind.


Are we interested on religious dogmas or in perceiving truth?


Are we interested in following an educational system based on solely this idea of individuality?

We could have the consciousness of individuality; but that is a partial "reality." When we understand oneness through individuality; that is the time when our conceptual, analytical understanding of life is happily thrown out of the window of our own minds.


"All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything." ― Swami Vivekananda

"The meaning of Supreme Knowledge is to become one with all. Why so many diversities in the world? It is also due to lack of this oneness. Why so many diversities among different religions? That was also due to lack of oneness. Nothing will exist one day. Temples, Churches will not be required. When a man gets God within his body, then only everything will be abolished."― sri jibankrishna or Diamond

"We are all different expressions of one reality, different songs of one singer, different dances of one dancer, different paintings – but the painter is one." ― Osho

"Why struggle to open a door between us when the whole wall is an illusion?"― Rumi

"Trouble makes us one with every human being in the world – and unless we touch others, we're out of touch with life." ― Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

"We are members of one great body, planted by nature…. We must consider that we were born for the good of the whole"― Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Game-changing SEO trends that will dominate 2018.

Changing nature of the rules of the game. As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is  the  way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again. Increasingly, SERP features (local packs, Knowledge panels, featured snippets and so on) are stealing searchers’ attention and clicks from organic listings. And it’s only fair if you consider the evolution the Google SERP has been through. It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it? With the evolution of SERP features, it’s critical that you (a) track your rankings within...
