Personal Development for Bliss. Success. Love.
The Urban Monk – a weird name, but it suits me. My passion is in exploring all areas of human potential. Growing mentally, emotionally, philosophically and spiritually; as well as training in boxing and martial arts led me to identify with monks. Still, we live in an urban environment, and in that area, I enjoy growing socially, financially, and well, have some fun like everyone else!
Educationally, I went to university and came out with a postgraduate degree in Multimedia and Web Design; currently running my own business in that area while pursuing a second career in Psychology and Counselling. I’m based in Melbourne, Australia.
My talents are teaching, nurturing, healing, and protecting. I hope that my musings in this blog can help you along your own path.

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Kaushik of Beyond Karma. Thanks Kaushik!The mind is empty only when thought is not. Thought cannot come to an end save through passive watchfulness of every thought. In this awareness there is no watcher and no censor; without the censor, there is only experiencing. In experiencing there is neither the experiencer nor the experienced. The experienced is the t...
