I first had the impulse to summarise, to compile, and to connect the dots in this teaching almost 2 decades ago. It is a lot of work, so I had to ask myself: why? Why go through this challenge?

Blog Post >> On purpose
The core of these teachings are either from the late 19th century or the first half of the 20th century. Why bother revisiting them now? What is the purpose behind this effort?

Dignity relates to effort. To "doing our best". It is totally fine if someone "doesn't care about doing their best", but I do. My challenge is that I end up falling short of it, more frequently than I would like. jonathansoifer.com/ive-done-my-...

I've done my best - Jonathan Soifer
There is something indescribable about being able to say "I've done my best". A kind of satisfaction that is independent from outcomes.

The hardest battles I've ever fought were between my values and my actions. Call it cognitive dissonance or hypocrisy, rest assurred I got back what I deserved. Some lessons were particularly painful yet I am grateful for each one of them.

Discipline is the center of my "keyword cloud" for 2025 With all the synonyms or otherwise closely associated words floating around it Focus. Constancy of aim and effort. Determination. Perseverance. Moderation. Consistency. Persisting. Enduring. Patience. And finally: success

Life is just so interesting... every field of human knowledge - from Math to Psychology - offers a different light under which we can interpret the world and there are so many angles, so many perspectives, and dimensions and so many opportunities to make a positive difference It's mind boggling

I wonder how many people were pushed far away from spirituality due to exposure to toxic people in the field It is a challenge of communication: when all you have seen of spirituality is unhealthy or even toxic, it's just as natural to label the whole thing as snake oil I don't see an easy way out

My latest cartoon for New Scientist
Caption: Earth, Air, Fire and Water wait excitedly to see how they'll fit into Dmitri Mendeleev's table of elements

Image: Dmitri is drawing the table on a chalkboard. Behind him, the four classical elements watch happily. Water says "Look! He's adding a eighth column. That must be for us!".

There is some level of polarisation between the fans of "understanding" and the fans of "getting things done" It's the age old dichotomy between "book smarts" and "street smarts" (not exactly but in some ways) As usual, there needs to be some balance or even integration between these two... 1 / n

I don't like the concept that "we all have 24 hours". From a pragmatic angle, it just isn't true. From a spiritual angle though, it can be a helpful concept. I will first make it clear why it is problematic and inaccurate, then I will make a point as to why this concept can be helpful. 1 / n

I am very happy today! Of course me being me, that's not enough. I had to understand "why" am I feeling happy 😬 I have so many reasons to be grateful... 1 / n

Semantically speaking, Spiritually feels like "love" to me. It's one of those words that will have different meanings to different people. My spirituality is not your spirituality, my spirituality today is not my spirituality from yesterday. 1 / n
