I was sitting in meditation a couple of days ago and for some reason I kept seeing images of ants popping in and out with the Ten Ox Herding Pictures. The images dominated most part of my one-hour sitting so I took this as a sign that I needed to flush them out into the open. Here’s the result...

It’s 1974, and the Losties are stuck in time.  Charlotte’s body has disappeared, and Daniel Faraday is a wreck.  The nosebleeds and headaches are gone, and some sort of mythical Incan statue has appeared on The Island. Locke has moved the island for good, and Sawyer has told us that th...

“Lafleur” March 4th, 2009 “…now what?” - Jin ; “…then what?” - Juliet It has been said that the last two episodes of Lost, “316″ and “The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham,” were sort of a launching point for the rest of the show...

By Thubten Samphel There’s a new law in force in China these days that says the Chinese authorities in future would choose reincarnating Tibetan lamas. Partly in anticipation of such a move and mostly to keep pace with the changing times, His Holiness the Dalai Lama said he has been toying with di...

“The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham” February 25th, 2009 Because there’s a war coming, John - if you’re not back on the island when that happens, the wrong side is going to win. The question of destiny plays a pretty fundamental role in how things operate in the world of Lo...

Some of Sathya Sai Baba’s propagandists, and many devotees, strive to make it appear that an assertion disfavouring him is an assertion against Hinduism and India. In actual fact, a great many Hindus do not at all approve of Sai Baba at all, as anyone who has travelled extensively in India or...

I'm not bringing that up as a negative. I'm not bringing it up as a positive either. This i...

“316″ February 18th, 2009 “We’re all convinced sooner or later, Jack.” There is a point in “316″ where Ben tells Jack the story of Thomas the Apostle, a man who is best known for doubting Jesus’ resurrection. What we take from Ben’s explanation i...

Tonight’s episode of LOST was great.  Just fantastic!  How in the hell does Ben get all of them on that flight?  Where is Sun’s baby and Kate’s so-called son Aaron? First of all, the title of the show is 316.  Its obviously the bible passage John 3:16 “For God so loved th...

It's not often I give someone a second chance, only to be proved that I was in fact mistaken the first time. However, never let it be said that I don't admit when I am wrong about something. That's the predicament I found myself in writing this review. I first heard The Dharma a few years back, and ...
