The Ascent of the Inner Man: A meditation on fear, self-trust, and emotional sovereignty

21 Oct 2025

Fear of feelings is really fear of losing control — a lack of self-trust. We mistake emotions for commands, believing they dictate our actions. This Pathocrat’s trap breeds paralysis and doubt. The cure is not repression but recalibration: keeping small promises, acting despite moods, and gathering new evidence of self-trust. In doing so, we discover a space between feeling and action — the birthplace of freedom, responsibility, and inner strength. … More The Ascent of the Inner Man: A meditation on fear, self-trust, and emotional sovereignty

La Fretta dell’Essere: L’uomo e il miraggio del “Là”

15 Oct 2025

What is man as a phenomenon? Is he a being that’s hasting toward non-being, a ghostly figure that has projected all the being he has and he can’t tolerate into and beyond a non-being horizon? Nay. Man is nothing in haste. Man is the very hasting of Being; he is hasting itself and not a being in haste. That’s why he’s always torn, torn in between here and there, for he can’t get that there out of his stupid head. He is as horizontally stretched between the opposite poles of embodiment and self-abandonment as he is vertically stretched between heaven and hell. He is everywhere and everywhen but here and now. He is a lunatic chasing shadows of himself.   … More La Fretta dell’Essere: L’uomo e il miraggio del “Là”

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

14 Oct 2025

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

7 Oct 2025

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

Living in the Pause: An Attitude of Playfulness Toward Change

30 Sep 2025

All real growth begins in the gap between stimulus and response. Not by controlling what happens, but by choosing how we meet it. Playfulness is what keeps that gap open—because play doesn’t trigger resistance the way protest does. It sneaks past the defenses of habit and makes change possible. … More Living in the Pause: An Attitude of Playfulness Toward Change

Which Came First: Consciousness or the World?

23 Sep 2025

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 Play of Masks: How to Drop the Mask of Behavior and Love Your Suffering

16 Sep 2025

All behavior is a mask shielding us from the feelings we fear most. Unmasking begins by setting the behavior aside so we can finally see what it was covering—then facing those very fears. From avoidance we move to tolerance, from tolerance to acceptance, and finally into love, where suffering itself is transformed. … More The Play of Masks: How to Drop the Mask of Behavior and Love Your Suffering

The Channels We Carve: Habits Set Grooves That Shape Life’s Flow

27 Aug 2025

Life is not something we kill—it only flows, and our habits carve the grooves that direct its course. Every repetition becomes a channel, shaping whether we move toward light or darkness. This reflection explores how small, consistent shifts can gradually redirect the flow of life toward clarity and growth. … More The Channels We Carve: Habits Set Grooves That Shape Life’s Flow
