Pay attention and you'll see how often you talk to avoid awkward silence.... Since when did silence become awkward and constant, pointless chit chat become normal? Of course having meaningful conversation and even casual small talk have their own beauty and place in helping us bond and have a good time. But notice this: there are people who you're only comfortable having small talk with. Then there's some closer people who you have deep conversations with. But it's only the closest few people to you that you're comfortable being silent with. That's because through words, you can only share your past or thoughts/beliefs with someone. Through your silent presence, you share your Being. As you consistently become silent in your mind, your entire being (including your behaviour and speech) will always be spontaneously sprouting out of silence. Like Rumi, who would walk and whirl as words would spontaneously come out of his mouth. Words that people around him would rush to capture and record as poetry that would touch hearts for hundreds of years to come. That's the beauty of one who has dissolved himself into silent presence. -SOUL FLOW #selfdiscovery #selfrealization #selfawareness #beherenow #bepresent #inthemoment #wisequotes #awareness #nondualityquotes #rumipoetry #sufipoetry #thepowerofnow #thepowerofsilence #soulfood #spiritualpoems #silentpresence

True acting requires you to dig deep within yourself, Beyond the surface of your current self-image, in order to discover any and all traits within you.... To find within yourself the depths of darkness. and light. deception and love. destruction and peace. manipulation and empathy. Yin and Yang. All exist within you. Therefore an actor's job is to continuously explore the universality of his being in order to tap into any aspect of himself truthfully in a given scenario. -Noaman Rahin Ready for the next chapter.

Life is passing by. Are you living in it? Or are you constantly living in the movie playing in your head? This movie world (aka the world of thinking) is blinding you from living in reality, like you're living in your own hidden bubble within the real world. If you've ever practised listening to the voice in your head, you quickly notice that it never shuts up. ever. ... So what is it exactly that's constantly keeping you in this movie world, this world of thinking? The secret cord that attaches you to it is: the main character of this movie. In each moment you are absorbed in either thinking about this character's upcoming future or ruminating about this character's past. Your whole life, you have been playing the main character of this movie that's constantly being projected in your mind. Your whole life you have assumed this character is you. But how can you be this character/voice in your head if you can observe it? Who are you who is observing this character speaking in your head, telling stories to you? This you have to find out for yourself, repeatedly inquiring every time you catch yourself in the world of thinking. Who is the one telling the story and who is the one listening to/watching it? Which one are you? #whoareyou #whoami #egodeath #thedao #spiritualpoetry #spiritualquotes #selfawareness #selfdiscovery #selfrealization #consciousness #consciouslife #consciouspoetry #poetryaboutlife #mindfulness #zenmindfulness #advaita #theself #beyourself #findyourself #soulfood #beherenow #bepresent #inthemoment #wisequotes #awareness #nondualityquotes #thoughtprovokingquotes

Some bars from a recent freestyle session Freestyling in any art (rapping, dancing, painting, writing etc) has been scientifically proven to alter your brain activity in a way that decreases self-consciousness and increases self expression. This feeds your creativity and provides an outlet for expressing yourself. ... How do you express your creativity?

A few bars from my upcoming song 'Roleplay', with my brotha @trisbetrippin Roleplay is a song we made about authenticity and the fact that we are so used to putting on masks in society. While the message is serious and meaningful, the beat and vibe of the song is lit and mixes different genres thanks to Tristan's dope producing skills ...

Your career, your relationship, your friends, your clothes, your lifestyle. Which of these choices... are you subconsciously making to avoid judgement from your family, your friends and your culture? And which ones are you making consciously out of love? Essentially these are the 2 basic emotions that drive our decision making. Most of the time you choose subconsciously. Be conscious of your choices and choose wisely. -SOUL FLOW #emotionalhealing #loveorfear #emotionalblocks #chooselove #wisequotes #wisdom #wisesayings #awareness #spirituality #selfawareness #selfdiscovery #selfrealization #consciousness #consciouslife #meditations #spiritualpoetry #deeppoetry #poetryaboutlife #emotionalpoetry #poetryaboutemotions #poetryaboutlove #lovepoems #nojudgements #freespirit #befree #beyourself #beyou #loveyourself

This past Sunday I performed at the Toronto Monologue Slam . It was honestly so satisfying to perform live in front of an audience of fellow film industry peeps. I love screen acting but I have to admit there's a special vibe when you perform in front of a live audience. You feel the energy of the whole room, and it feeds your energy.... I feel a theatre performance coming soon If you know anyone who is involved in theatre productions, or know of any plays that might be casting please send me a DM, I'd love to collab and work on a play in the near future. Anyway, I had a hard time finding a monologue to perform so I decided to perform a scene from a feature script I'm currently writing. It's a funny scene of my character getting pulled over for coming to a rolling stop at a stop sign and arguing the ticket by making some funny, yet valid points. It was a great experience, I'm definitely looking forward to performing there again sometime in the future. I'm looking to shoot short, emotional + meaningful scenes that I'm writing, as well as short artistic films/videos for my spoken word poetry, similar to the one I posted on my page not too long ago (but better quality). DM me if you know anyone who's a (aspiring) director/DOP/cinematographer or anyone who has a nice camera and is down to collab and start creating short video projects as a team. - Noaman Rahin #monologueslam #torontomonologueslam #Actingmonologue #actinglife #actorslife #actorlife #torontoactor #torontoactors #torontoethnicactors #actingperformance #theatreperformance #baddogtheatre #actingislife #realacting #trueacting #torontofilmindustry #director @ Bad Dog Theatre Company

Stressful situations, ruminating about the past, worrying about what might happen in the future. These are mini storms... that come, stay in your mind for a while, then leave. How big of a storm it is, and how long the storm lasts depends entirely on how much you entertain it. The more you feed energy to these things (by thinking about them), the stronger and longer the storm. The less you allow your mind to feed these, the sooner they will starve and die off. The only issue? All this thinking is mostly subconscious. When you're stressing about something or ruminating on something that happened, you get pulled into an almost literal 'train' of thought and 15 minutes later, you snap out of it and realize you've been staring blankly at the ground the whole time. Where were you for those 15 minutes? It's like you were just dreaming in your mind and then you suddenly wake up and come back to this moment right here, right now, aka reality. As you practise pulling your attention back from these thought storms and just keeping your attention here in this moment, you will start to "snap" out of them faster because your awareness of your thoughts will allow you to catch yourself doing it, faster. And as you continue to do that, you will see that these storms have no power without your attention feeding them. You will see that they are insignificant and you may even laugh at yourself for being silly and taking these thoughts so seriously. Continue to be aware of your attention and how it automatically wants to be carried away by these train of thoughts. And return your mind back to silence each time. Bhudda was asked "what did you gain from meditation?" He replied, "Nothing. But let me tell you what I lost: anger, anxiety, depression, fear of death, insecurities." -SOUL FLOW #meditation #meditations #zensilence #zenmeditation #wisequotes #spiritualpoetry #selfdiscovery #findyourself #soulfood #selfrealization #selfawareness #consciousness #beherenow #bepresent #inthemoment #truemeditation #nonduality #nondualityquotes #mindfulness #spiritualityquotes #spiritualquotes #awareness #awakeningsoul #deepquotes #mindlessness #nothought #wuwei

There is an ancient secret of life hidden in this question. Where do thoughts come from? The second before that thought popped into your head, where was it? ... If you say thoughts don't come from anywhere except our own memory/brain, then I ask you: what about the hundreds of completely random thoughts you have everyday that have nothing to do with anything you've ever experienced before? Where do those thoughts come from? Is there a database of random thoughts that are stored in your brain and your brain randomly generates one every 2 seconds? Obviously this is not the case. No need to go digging deep into scientific papers because you will not find the answer there. If you are a true seeker, you can do an experiment right now to find the answer. For the next 2 minutes, just sit quietly. And observe any thoughts that pop up in your mind. The first 2 thoughts might be something like: "this is kinda weird, i can hear myself speaking in my head.." or "Ok.. so now what?" Hear these and recognize these as thoughts and go back to just being silent in your mind, observing. In about 10-15 seconds, one thought after the other will come. Every time you hear/notice a thought in your head, look into where it came from before it popped into your mind. Whoever continues this experiment and truly searches, will find an incredible discovery that will free you from your suffering. -SOUL FLOW #meditation #meditations #whatismeditation #truemeditation #zenmeditation #wheredothoughtscomefrom #deepquotes #deepquestions #thoughtprovokingquotes #thoughtprovoking #foodforthought #soulfood #consciousness #awareness #spirituality #selfawareness #selfdiscovery #selfrealization #beherenow #bepresent #beconscious #consciousawareness #consciousquotes

Of course we have some limited choice. For example you can choose to read the rest of this caption or to just keep scrolling. But in the bigger picture,... we don't really have control over other people or what happens in our life. If we did, then our lives would be "perfect" and we would only ever experience love and positivity. But obviously this is not the case since we are constantly experiencing things that are painful/undesirable etc. Because we don't control life. Matter of fact, we don't even have control over our own thoughts. Do you get to control what you're going to think about throughout your day? No, thoughts just randomly pop into your head. Those who observe closely, will see that Life takes care of life. An incredible inner peace comes from this. I wish this peace upon you. -SOUL FLOW #nonduality #nondualityquotes #heartreflections #wisequotes #lifequotes #deeplifequotes #deepquotesaboutlife #advaita #theself #theuniverse #oneconsciousness #wisesayings #awareness #spirituality #selfawareness #selfdiscovery #selfrealization #consciousness #consciouslife #meditations #spiritualpoetry #deeppoetry #poetryaboutlife
