This piece dates back to August 19th of 2013. The world imposes itself on me; it wants to be; the world likes to be. The world is that parasite that sucks my erected attention as if we were mutually dependent in existence, as if we were Yin Yang. But the world is not content with … More Heideggered & Daseined
You must go into isolation, into silence and solitude, where you can get a glimpse of your essence. See that with regard to the phenomenal world you are the vessel and not that which is in the vessel. The world happens to you and before you. World is that which is continually experienced, but you … More The Flux of Revelation
Supreme science is the science of the first and the highest principles. It is known as metaphysics in the strictest sense of the word and not metaphysics as wrongly associated with the supernatural.

Why does man raise questions? There are many criteria based on which man is distinguished from animal, such as language and logic.

The study of the experience of seeing can give us clues into … More Truth Hidden in Plain Sight: Cosmos as the embodiment of consciousness
We use the capital letter B in Being to distinguish Being from being. We follow Heidegger in doing so.

There is nothing that cannot be achieved through concentration. In all esoteric traditions in which the aspirant is initiated into the way for the attainment of truth the most important requirement is the intense longing for the goal.
