Pure Life

6 Comments / Blog, The Adventures of Adi and David / By /

I stopped writing earlier this year.  It wasn’t intended; it just naturally materialized.  My passion for writing abated and I found I had nothing that I wanted to share with anyone.  For that matter, I didn’t think I knew anything that was worth sharing. Que será, será, to the year 2021.  Whatever will be will be.  This became my mantra for the last couple of years.  All the answers that I thought I knew turned out not to be true.  Everything I believed to be so, in fact, turned out to be years of programming that hadn’t served my greatest […]

Costa Rica: Experience Pure Life

2 Comments / Blog, Costa Rica Calling..., Travel / By /

Costa Rica whispers from afar.  Not everyone hears her call but those that do are generally transfixed by her enchanting beauty and charm.  For those inclined to be open, this Central American country is a spiritual portal that offers access to the Divine Wisdom of the Universe; it offers the promise of a Pure Life that has long since been forgotten in many quarters of the world. Adi and I spent several months in Costa Rica this summer and the country spoke so dearly to our hearts that we were inspired to create a new docu-reality series called Pure Life.

When I seriously considered meditating roughly five years ago, I really had no idea how to begin a practice.  I had heard about the importance of meditation but for me it just didn’t seem practical.  I tried meditating when I was 25 years old and my idea at the time was that meditation meant going into a dark space and quieting the mind.  I literally got into a dark closet, sat down, and tried to quiet my mind—it didn’t work.  My mind only became more active and disturbed and it wasn’t long before I got up from the closet and

ॐ One crisp afternoon Rumi was walking alone with her red book and newly acquired gold coin in tow.  The red book, her trusty companion, never left her side.  It had been with her as long as she could remember and although the edges were becoming more and more frayed, Rumi wouldn’t think of ever replacing it.  And now that the man had given Rumi a gold coin, she felt as if she had everything she needed in life. Rumi loved the gold coin.  Although it was old, if she held it in the right light, she could see it

Two Gold Coins, One Dry Well

6 Comments / Blog, Parables / By /

ॐ Rumi was sitting on her favorite bench high up on a cliff overlooking the ocean.  She would sit and watch the waves below crash against the shore.  The sound of the crashing waves became almost like a meditation for her.  Whenever she sat alone, invariably someone would always come and join her.  It was her presence that drew them to her. On this day, a very old man approached her and sat down with her.  It wasn’t long before he began talking with Rumi. “Fear sometimes creeps into my heart in the middle of the night,” he said.  It’s
