I’ve got exciting news… my new i Citizen website launched today on summer solstice 2016! i-Citizen forms the final piece of my overall Centerpath formulization—the action-oriented side of Centerpath—showing ‘citizens’ practical means of putting nature’s wisdoms to work in their day-to-day lives but also how to optimally structure an entire society.

The Brawn of Branching
The following is an excerpt from my book “Centerpath Mandalas”. It’s got some pretty cool insights on the nature of being but also how your life fits into nature’s grand mosaic of being. I invite you to check it out. It’s little surprise Buddha gained his awareness under the Bodi tree. For residing in their […]
Dialogue with the Universe – How to be Happy
Be happy! How? Follow Your Heart! How? Listen to your inner voice, it has all the wisdom you’ll ever need. How? Stop thinking you know everything! How? Have faith in your natural intuition versus simply accepting society’s definition of what is important and right. How? Slow your life. Walk in nature. Surround yourself with high […]
Time Stand Still
Once a day take the time to make time stand still. Whatever you’re doing take the time to stop, look, and listen to a friend, spouse, a child, a flower, a sunset–the magic of being. These form the little moments of bliss that precipitate in the space-time of our being, and last throughout eternity.
Our Lives are Inexplicably Connected to Nature
What to take away from Centerpath? This is what Jin hopes for (as excerpted from his Centerpath website at http://www.centerpath.org/about-us/).

Circumstances
Circumstances are indeed important. Parents, environment, disposition, siblings, nation/region/state/local, influences, the paths you choose, the paths you declined, the paths you ignored, what you felt was embarrassing, what you thought was cool, what you watched, how you spent your time, how much you listened versus how much you talked. How many great ideas and […]
What is Philosophy?
Today a subscriber asked me to define philosophy. A great but very tough question. I was stumped at first. But after a several dumbfounded moments it became clear—at least to me–philosophy is the art/practice of asking “why” (i.e. trying to understand why things are the way they are). Checking the Oxford Dictionary Definition (which is […]
The Speed of Scent
Sitting on back packers street in Ho Chi Minh city taking in the sites, sounds, and smells; the strong scent of dried squid of a passing hawker inspired me to come up with a poem of sorts. It goes something like this; Like sound and light to hearing and sight, at the speed of air so […]
