Where Nothing Calls: Living on the Belly of Being – A Phenomenological Rant on Boredom as the Last Territory of Freedom

A descent into the barren, valueless ground where boredom exposes everything as equal and directionless. It follows how distinctions like good and evil lose their meaning, how our comforting narratives fall apart, and how that neutrality—initially nauseating—reveals a place where a person can finally act from their own source rather than any external call. … More Where Nothing Calls: Living on the Belly of Being – A Phenomenological Rant on Boredom as the Last Territory of Freedom

There Is No Spiritual Substitute for Laziness: the spirit has no reach in the idle mind & body

A man can drown in incense and mantras while his life rots around him. There is no prayer strong enough to lift the weight of a lazy body or an undisciplined mind. This piece explores the quiet truth that no spiritual practice can replace the ordinary work of self-respect — the cleaning, moving, striving, and caring that give the spirit somewhere to stand. … More There Is No Spiritual Substitute for Laziness: the spirit has no reach in the idle mind & body

The Eternal Game of Hide-and-Seek & The Dissolution of Duality

The soul, weary of the endless turning of worlds, questions Life itself, demanding meaning, rest, and an end to the game. But Life, ever patient and amused, reminds the soul that it was the one who chose to play, who wrote the rules and hid behind the veil of forgetfulness. In its hiding, the universe was born; in its seeking, time began. Yet when the seeker at last finds the one who hid, the discovery shatters both, revealing there were never two players, only one Life, playing with itself through all forms of being. What remains then is not struggle, nor purpose, but play—pure, endless, self-knowing play. … More The Eternal Game of Hide-and-Seek & The Dissolution of Duality

The Permission to Feel Our Own Bliss: Reclaiming what was never anyone’s to give

We spend our lives waiting for permission to feel joy—opening and closing the gates of our own happiness at every sign of approval or rejection. But joy was never something to earn. It was always ours, flowing beneath the surface, waiting to be reclaimed by the only one who could ever unlock it: ourselves. … More The Permission to Feel Our Own Bliss: Reclaiming what was never anyone’s to give

The Leash Made of Silk: The psychology of manipulative care & kindness

The most dangerous manipulation isn’t loud or cruel, it’s gentle. It hides behind smiles and small favors, pretending to care while quietly asking for approval in return. This kind of kindness doesn’t come from love, it comes from fear, the fear of not being seen. It gives to be noticed, not to nourish. True kindness doesn’t need witnesses or repayment; it flows freely because it’s full. … More The Leash Made of Silk: The psychology of manipulative care & kindness

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

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”

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

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

Living in the Pause: An Attitude of Playfulness Toward Change

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
