Seemingly out of the blue, work ranging from basic tasks to things that have been long considered highly creative and specific to humans are being done by AI now. These changes have left many people wondering: Will AI replace me at work? Am I going to wind up unemployed? Can AI become super intelligent, and will humans eventually lose control? Humans started developing AI to make our lives more com...

Many people find the ancient world and its remnants to be phenomenal sources of curiosity, mystery, and even inspiration, from ancient sites and structures like the pyramids at Giza, the massive monoliths at Stonehenge, and any number of other architectural and engineering marvels all around the world that we still don’t really understand. Who built these incredible places and structures? Were they religious or spiritual places of worship, or did they serve some other, perhaps mystical purposes...

Travel exposes us to new experiences. It challenges us to come out of our comfort zones, provides opportunities for adventure, and helps to rejuvenate ourselves. Going on trips has been a great stress buster for people especially in times where long hours of work gives little time for recreation at the end of the day. Even travel for work or to meet family and friends has become frequent in today’s world when people often move far from home for career opportunities.

However, how many of us are ...

Most people, at one point or another, have experienced some kind of knowing that was difficult to explain, like you suddenly understood something about the world, or like you knew something was about to happen before it did. This sense can show up often in small ways, like knowing what song was coming next on the radio or knowing who was calling before even looking at your phone.

But unfortunately, for many of us, intuition happens only once in a while and feels like hit or miss. Wouldn’t it be...

In our days of constant hustle and bustle, there are beautiful sunrises and sunsets almost every single day. Some days, we take the time to stop and look at these beautiful works of art that nature displays to us and for that moment, it feels blissful. Then, we get right back into our daily routines and that fleeting moment of beauty is lost. That feeling of being at peace is not easy to hold onto for long periods of time for most of us. 

Is this state of bliss just triggered from the outside, ...

Human sexuality seems to have always been a contentious topic. Depending on how people relate to their sexuality, it can cause tremendous suffering or tremendous joy.

Looking from one extreme to another, it can sometimes seem that we will never all a...

Have you ever experienced feeling more energetic with a spring in your step at certain times when your stomach feels light? If so, what might that mean for the conventional wisdom that you need three full meals a day to be at your best physically and mentally? Many people who go to various yoga and wellness programs report feeling very vibrant all through the day and correlate this to the diet provided in these programs. But might not the scheduling of the meals and portion sizes – when and how...

There are many confusing teachings regarding the idea of love.  Must we be detached or love unconditionally?  Many spiritual teachers will give you something that is impossible to do so that you keep coming back.  Rather than doing this, Sadhguru says, “Throw yourself into your love affair and die into it.  Something will happen.  Something worthwhile will happen if you are willing to die into the process.  Not just anything, whether it’s your work, or your life, or your love, or whatever.  If ...

As human beings, we have something very valuable in our ability to focus our attention on different aspects of life.  “If you get interested in something, everything in you gets focused on that thing, isn’t it?  Whatever that thing is.  But most people do not know how to find any interest in life unless they’re hormone fired,” Sadhguru says.  “It’s an evolutionary issue.”

Sadhguru explains, “Every other creature is only interested in that, which is either its survival or its reproductive.”  He ...

As we enter the second month of 2023, the celebratory spirit that often arises around the turning of the new year may be fading for many. The new year brings a feeling of possibility and excitement, and this time is rightly celebrated, but this feeling does not always last.
