In the Shadow of the Superman: What’s Above is Felt from Within

Humanity’s evolution is not merely biological but spiritual—a gradual awakening toward higher forms of Being already woven into the fabric of existence. From the first philosophers who wondered at reality to the mystics who glimpsed eternity within, our upward gaze reveals a hidden gravity of the soul. Perhaps we are not inventing transcendence at all, but responding to its quiet call—a whisper from beyond imagination, inviting the droplet to merge with the ocean. … More In the Shadow of the Superman: What’s Above is Felt from Within

The Letter That Kills, the Song That Heals: When Reality Is Buried Alive in Much Intellectual Chatter

We must forget and unsee all that we know and all that we think. We must surrender who we think we are in order to see who we truly are. We must surrender what we think reality is in order to see it for what it truly is. And repetition itself can help us: to repeatedly put the headsets aside, to return again and again to the plain, unadorned real, even when it feels empty or dull. That emptiness and dullness and boredom is the withdrawal symptom of a lifelong addiction to conceptualization and repetitive thinking. Stay with that emptiness long enough and one day vision clears. But for that, all borrowed images must die. All the stories of philosophers, theologians, and scientists must vanish for the true sun to rise before our eyes. All our ideas of truth and reality must die for the One to appear. … More The Letter That Kills, the Song That Heals: When Reality Is Buried Alive in Much Intellectual Chatter

Which Came First: Consciousness or the World?

To say that matter preceded consciousness is already to speak from within consciousness. The claim itself is not matter, not solidity or extension, but a thought—an event of awareness. Thus, the very gesture of asserting matter’s primacy undermines itself, for what appears as primary is already secondary to the condition that allows it to appear at all. Consciousness is not a thing among things; it is the openness in which “thingness” itself becomes possible. It is not contained by the world, but rather the world is contained in it as appearance, as meaning. … More Which Came First: Consciousness or the World?

The King and the Jester: On Forgotten Greatness, Fear, and Return

The parable of the king and the jester speaks to a deeper truth: when we forget our higher self, smallness takes the throne and life shrinks to fit it. Yet forgetfulness always carries the seed of awakening. This is a call to remember who you are and reclaim the crown that was always yours. … More The King and the Jester: On Forgotten Greatness, Fear, and Return

Spiritual Fragments: Play & Minding One’s Own Business

To be serene isn’t about managing and manipulating your environment into peace, for most often you yourself are the element of chaos, and your attempts at bringing peace is the very cause of disturbance.
Alternatively, one can find serenity by a simple act of reframing the will, the wish, and the goal:
If I want perfection to be the goal and wish that it’s the case, then by reframing what is as the perfect state of things, then the goal is already achieved and my wish instantly fulfilled. And if I will what already is, then I’m doing as I wish, for my wish, too, is what already is.
The cause of suffering is to wish things to be otherwise than they are, and that’s insanity to wish something that has already appeared in a certain form to have appeared differently. … More Spiritual Fragments: Play & Minding One’s Own Business

The Mirror, the Man, and the Divine

If only you could zoom out enough to see the camera rolling, the setup and the stage and the props that you call your life and your possessions—that’s the true freedom: to see that all is already done and unified, that nothing needs to be done, that no one and nothing is out there, even the “out there” isn’t out there. Nothing was ever created, as there was never a need for it. Only then it’s recognized that the new man was the only man. … More The Mirror, the Man, and the Divine
