Helen wrote in her blog “Why the next Buddha will be a collective.” I hope to show with this article where I am coming from in this regard so that in the time to come we can have beautiful dialogues, trialogues or any other -logues to help this meme propagate. I guess, for me it … Read more

I’m not trying to save the world or even myself for that matter. I believe not in the necessity of saying anything to anybody. I’m just – people… expressing, as birds are singing. I feel myself to be part of this multiverse of diverse voices, vistas and felt-spaces that flow around – creating and being … Read more

Most of us think linear when it comes to what happens in life: “My cheek hurts, because someone slapped me”; “And now I am angry, because I did not deserve it.” Scientists, at least the overwhelming majority, are certain that consciousness is caused by the grey matter residing in our head.

14 billion years of evolution since the Big Bang. This planet, the solar system, the Milky Way – our galaxy… an endlessly large universe. This moment, this experience now, you and me… all time and space in a conspiracy to awaken in you and me right now. And so immensely rich is this cosmos that … Read more

Hearing voices in your head is so common that it is normal, psychologists believe. Dutch findings suggest one in 25 people regularly hears voices.

I found a really new way to take a walk recently on video.google because the title turned me on – and then the video blew my mind really. I could feel the energy coming from this way of using obstacles that are in the way – or so I thought… “We go our own way,” … Read more

Boing Boing: More Americans have now died In Iraq than died On 9/11 That’s maybe interesting to know as the US-government pretended to wage a war on terrorism. But what truly baffles me is that not even a mention is made of the many thousand Iraqians who have been killed because of this war…

Not blinded by the sun, at night, looking up: Around us all space, cosmos. Amidst the glistening darkness we are breathing, we become embraced by everlasting darkness.

I found quite an interesting free online book from one of the most ‘biting’ critics of Ken Wilber, whom Geoffrey D. Falk calls “Norman Einstein”. And here is how he introduces it: Ken Wilber is the “long-sought Einstein of consciousness research,” having been generously regarded as such since the late 1970s. Ken Wilber is “a … Read more

just wanted to share this post on Elza Maalouf’s blog here with you. It was much easier for me to think rationally about the war in Iraq. Like others who are interested in the Middle East or come from it, I was able to analyze the situation in Iraq to the best of my ability, … Read more
