		<title>Why isn&#8217;t this one of the most amazing thing&#8217;s ever?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Disclaimer: Please question everything you read here, and anywhere.
Introduction
Suppose I found a theorem that pertained to Euclidean geometry; the kind of geometry which we did at school. I would be the first person to discover such a theorem in over two millennia. I might well win a cash prize and maybe a couple Nobel's. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>letting go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is going to be hard to let go an idea we have wanted to be true since the womb. An idea that that builds pyamids and cathedrals and comforts us when were gaze into the abyss.
But this idea is delusional; there is no reason to belive it, and a vast array of reasons to [...]]]></description>

		<title>ego</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ego is illusion.
The ego is the very realisation of mental events in the moment.
The illusionary ego projected into imaginary situations.
The imaginary past,
Future,
The thoughts of others
The thoughts of self.
It is the perspective of arising of experience.
Nothing more.
There is nothing to be reborn.
There is no thinker, only thoughts.
Mind is empty.
All is interconnected.
There is no thing to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Online Defilement?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been thinking lots about how things can get in terms of online communities like forums. They are funny places because they are like amplified societies, where peoples beliefs and efforts to defend their beliefs are much more exercised than in this mundane real world with its physical and temporal restrictions.
There was a show [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is Dogma?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We encounter dogma lots all over our lives.
Many of us, some without knowing, some with, will also propagate dogma in our interactions.
But what is dogma? And is it really as good as it seems?
A dogma is a doctrine that is professed with certainty when, in fact, there is no such certainty available to profess.
A belief is dogmatic if is [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is a Masculine Hegemony? (Takin&#8217; it to the Hedge&#8217;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have found in various writing and discussions on Buddhism and politics  I often find myself using the term “masculine hegemony”. I use the term lots, eg, when I am facing the yawing void of mean-hearted corporate vacuousity, I am,  “battling the masculine hegemony”.
When I  realise how my liberties to act without harming anyone else [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Great Later On Con</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some food for thought...
The Good
The Buddha was an ancient Indian prince who gave up his life of luxury to find the cause of human suffering and conflict. Seven years of mystical exploration later he found it, it wasn't mystical but metaphysical, philosophical and scientific. From his understanding of this  discovery he determined the  mental, moral and philosophical path of practice which, when followed, would lead to a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Babylonian Case Study: BT Broadband</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

This morning I got a quarterly ISP/Phone bill for £400. Of that, £310 was for “Broadband Usage” as deemed by BT Broadband’s fair use policy. This is an immense and totally unexpected bill for three months’ landline internet usage.
I was sure I was unlimited, apparently not. I made a mistake in that. But that is [...]]]></description>
