How do you describe yourself?

Posted on Mar 20th, 2009 by rudyan : quasar rudyan

What would you do if time didn't matter?

Posted on Jul 31st, 2008 by rudyan : quasar rudyan

Gosh, you mean time is for real??? Ok, let’s say it is, if only for the sake of this exercise that asks me to look at my life in terms of the question: What if... More »

Where do you find security?

Posted on Jun 5th, 2008 by rudyan : quasar rudyan

If you could gain one character trait, what would you pick?

Posted on Jan 28th, 2008 by rudyan : quasar rudyan

What do you wish?

Posted on Jan 19th, 2008 by rudyan : quasar rudyan

What would you like to learn today?

To let go. To let go of the illusion that what I see, hear, smell, feel, etc, is the way it really is. How can it be, when you and I witnessing the same event... More »

What is your relationship to your life story?

Posted on Nov 17th, 2007 by rudyan : quasar rudyan

I'm the reader, savouring the words, thoughts, metaphors written there, turning the pages one by one, eager to see: "and then what happened?" It's a damn fine story, you see, a proper page-turner. I'm also... More »

What do you need to change the most in your life?
