A Panda's Journey
“I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.”
—Joseph Campbell
I personally do not know the meaning of life.
Maybe it’s different for everyone? I don’t know.
But I do think, sometimes like Joseph Campbell, that people aren’t looking so much for the meaning of life, as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
What do you enjoy?
What makes you experience the fullness of life?
Da Vinci said “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
It is.
Many people live their lives in unnecessary complications that cloud their lives & those around them. Some people think that their complications give their life meaning, when often their complications take away life’s meaning.
To each their own.
If living simply was easy, everyone would do it. It’s not easy to live simply & be happy & fulfilled – to not be comparing & competing, but to just be. & to be happy with what we have.
Abundance & gratitude often breed more abundance & gratitude.
A simple life may lose you some friends, but it will bring you peace.
We as humans often compare ourselves to each other – or to people of the past. But the thing we probably do most is compare ourselves to our immediate environments & those there.
Sometimes our environments become boxes and trap us in, and sometimes our environments provide freedom.
When we thrive & strive to improve ourselves, to live our best lives, helping others, we are living in more freedom.
When we are comparing ourselves with anger, hating, envious, offensive & defensive, we most likely stay in a box.
I have heard that winners focus on winning, and losers focus on winners.
You can be a winner & focus on other winners too, just don’t look into the sidelines or crowds too long or you may get lost in them, with them, and you don’t want that if you’re a leader, a person of influence; someone attaining their own freedom.

Why are you doing what you are doing?
Are you just staying busy or are you actually being productive?
And more importantly, what is it that you actually want to do?
And how are you achieving them?
There is a big difference between being busy and being productive.
And we all have experienced both.
What’s important is what you do Today.
Know your why and then take action.
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
— Jimi Hendrix
The message is simple and profound.
No need to add to Jimi’s words here.
The definition of integration, from Oxford dictionary is “the action or process of integrating.” & Integrate is defined as “combine (one thing) with another so that they become whole.”
The process of integration can take time, but it’s always happening.
Within these CoachT posts I bring to you what inspires me – ideas, people, places, experiences, and dreams.
One experience that highly influenced my life was my first experience with psilocybin mushrooms. You can read about my first psilocybin trip here.
I’ve also been involved as an activist towards legalizing plant medicines, because I know their healing qualities firsthand.
I’ve created a pen name, Psil Silva, where I share my experiences & add my two cents into life, in regards to the area of natural plant medicines like psilocybin mushrooms.
My name, your name, these aren’t as important as what is beyond our names – the peace beyond understanding.
& this is why it’s hard for many to understand – because it’s literally beyond understanding.
It’s an experience.
Anyway, I hope to integrate my websites, books, & ideas, to share the best of what I learn, with you.
It may be useful & it may not, so, as Bruce Lee says “absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.”
It’s all related, all connected, and one of the short books I wrote that you may like best is titled The 7 Psychedelic Meditations.
Check it out here on Amazon & please leave a review.
Let me know what you think! 🙂
“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”
– Aristotle
Where are you going?
What’s the rush?
Sometimes a sense of urgency is necessary, and sometimes it’s not.
And sometimes we’re all so busy rushing around that we forget the joy in this moment.
Take a deep breath.
Be here, now.
And from here, you can go anywhere.
