The Need For Vulnerability

February 26, 2015 By Atalwin Pilon Leave a Comment

The root of the word courage is cor—the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage had a very different definition than it does today. Courage originally meant “To speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” Over time, this definition has changed, and, today, courage is more synonymous with being heroic. Heroics is important and we certainly need heroes, but I think we’ve lost touch with the idea that speaking honestly and openly about who we are, about what we’re feeling, and about our experiences (good and bad) is the definition of courage.

The Basic Goodness Zendo Is Open!

February 14, 2015 By Atalwin Pilon Leave a Comment

The best thing I did in 2014 was designing and organizing the first episode of the 100 Day Warrior. It was hard work and a lot of pressure to make it happen but once we took off we gained momentum and it was awesome. Arguably the best thing I did in 2015 was opening my […]

Beyond The Thoughts Lies Freedom

February 11, 2015 By Atalwin Pilon Leave a Comment

During the 100 Day Warrior the invitation is to explore the space beyond our comfort zones. The easiest way is to surrender to the program and let the experience unfold. But this is usually not how most of us are wired. We are filled with opinions, expectations and beliefs. So we question and negotiate. The interesting part is to explore why we question and negotiate. We fear influence and negative experiences, we fear what we do not know.

A Spiritual Path Is About Starting All Over Every Day

February 10, 2015 By Atalwin Pilon Leave a Comment

I was trying to come up with a relevant topic for this post. I wasn’t sure what to pick or where to start. I didn’t write for so long: what to say? Should I explain myself? Defend myself? Come up with justifications? Today I had an interaction with one of the participants of the 100 […]

Eps 90: New Research Shows That Fit, Good Looking And Confident People Are Way More Successful

December 12, 2014 By Atalwin Pilon Leave a Comment

Sometimes back-up comes unexpectedly. The Dutch Bureau for Social and Cultural Planning recently released the results of a nationwide research “Differences in the Netherlands”. The research criteria included for the first time what they called “personal capital”. This category contains things like looks, confidence, strength, stamina, flexibility and charisma. The researchers were taken by surprise by the unexpectedly strong relationship between looks and success in life. People who look good and feel fit and confident are way more successful in life!

Eps 83: How To Prevent Street Violence

December 6, 2014 By Atalwin Pilon Leave a Comment

I heard myself shouting “COME HERE THEN! HEY, COME BACK!” He didn’t but if he had stopped I would have given him a 75%-80% chance of being punched in the face.

I share this because I find it a telling example of how little it takes to create a violent situation, even when in a peaceful country like Holland and with a peaceful guy like me. It was not only that I wanted to teach this jerk a lesson but also he had become a symbol of all anti-social behavior. Too many people shouted in my face and got away with it. This guy represented the whole category to me and I had reached my breaking point.

Eps 81: David Lynch On Meditation

December 4, 2014 By Atalwin Pilon Leave a Comment

Lately, I am finding it more interesting to expose you to the experiences and perspectives of others than my own. There is a specific clip of David Lynch that I have been looking for but I haven’t found it yet. While searching I found another video of him talking about meditation. I think it can be helpful. He uses an interesting metaphor to explain the added value of expanding your awareness.
