Over millions of years of evolution, man has become accustomed to looking at what he does not have, rather than concentrating on what he has. So much so that he constantly aspires towards a future in which every single need of his is fulfilled, rendering him happy and content. Indeed, every person wants to be […]

It has been estimated (2021) that there are circa 170,000,000 unique books in the world1 and yet there is no author and no single book that can authoritatively tell us how to live a perfect life. There are many acclaimed self-help writers, who can advise and inspire, but the idea of a perfect life is

Life – what is it? Is it just a collection of achievements or the ever-evolving dreams and plans for the future? Is it success that we have gathered over the years or is it the great vision of how things would unfold in the future? For me, it is somewhere in the middle – a

There are a number of important lessons I have learnt throughout my life, which have become central to how I conduct myself.

For our faith to be solid and strong, its foundation has to be underpinned with renewed fervour, passion and zeal. This requires both the in-depth understanding and the complete implementation of our moral framework, dictated by the Gnostic Knowledge and the guidance of the contemporary Guide. It is not a one-off initiative, but life-long learning.

Foundations are influenced greatly by our start in life. An impoverished individual, with poor upbringing and meagre financial resources, may aspire to a perfect life that is more comfortable and materially secure. A privileged individual, on the other hand, who begins life with many financial assets, may see perfection in settling down one day, to

One of life’s greatest questions is what is the purpose of life? It can either strike as an epiphany or manifest itself as existential dread or crisis. Whatever it may be, it can certainly be life-changing. Whether life poses this question in covert ways or puts it forward very openly, each of us has encountered

Our lives are driven by a need to be happy. It’s the reason why we go to work every day, in an effort to earn money to spend it on the things that make us happy. But how many of us are truly content with our lives? Why is it that something as simple as
