  • Quote of the day

    “All too often we love ourselves on the basis of a story of our own specialness or uniqueness. We could call this “the Facebook version of love”, in which the word simply means “like a lot” and/or “strongly approve of”. The great significance our culture places on individual difference is spiritually problematic because on the…

    “The self-help industry has perpetuated the story that the purpose of human life is psychological and/or spiritual growth, and that this growth – despite never being clearly defined – inevitably leads to the actualization of your innate potential and the manifestation of the “best version of you”. This is in fact a very modern idea.…

  • And the green will be silent

    thick burdock by the river and the musical trance of water flowing – a brook with its bubbling eddies and thirsty loud birds – and our years quietly passing, quietly leaking into the humid ground like fat dark nourishment and all this while, the working bee will be gathering nectar unknowingly and the green will…

  • The One

    everything feeds on everything else, we all dissolve into the bodies of others – a joyous play of alterity/sameness, we are all milk, bread, honey, meat, wine for this cosmic feast, this orgy of the gods. all of us just a fleeting, elusive, embodied drop of pureness.

  • Spätsommer

    leicht, leicht und sachte ist der Wind der uns grenzenlos macht als er durch diese blaue Seele bläst und die lila Blüten wie lockere Saiten zum Klingen bringt – leise, leise, und süß-duftend und grenzenlos ist das Schweben, sein Strom nun gemäßigt und angenehm, angenehm warm.

  • Quote of the day

    “… nothing that can be said in words is complete or absolute Truth. The Real cannot be adequately captured by language, and therefore all attempts to do so are approximations that have a relative utility. An approximation in language (i.e., a narrative) is useful insofar as it ultimately leads you beyond language to a desired…

  • How hope dies (haikus)

    the raw tissue of the universe ruptures with each lie you utter. the One bleeds, sweet Ocean of Compassion besieged by toxic algae.

  • Poemul din vis

    în pâlnia zorelelor zace nectarul zeilor, ele veghează noaptea tremurul lunii picurându-și parfumul în cosmos pe când eu mă topesc cu gândul la tine, secretând roua dulce a întregului. el, ea, ei, ele dorm, tu taci, respiri regulat; Totul tace. sub bolta arcuită, indigo – vibrația unui glob nesfârșit ce stă mereu să plesnească. (Notă:…

    Quote of the day

    “… since the dominant belief system of the modern West is psychology, Westerners want to know if the spirits of the traditional view are thought to have independent agency, because if not, they can be explained in psychological terms as aspects of our own mind—which makes most Westerners quite comfortable and prompts them to nod…

  • Jenseits des Nennbaren

    Jenseits des Nennbaren liegt der Anfang der Welt. Sein und Nichtsein erzeugen einander. Der SINN faßt alles Bestehende in sich. Besser ist es, das Innere zu bewahren. Der Geist der Tiefe stirbt nicht. Er entäußert sich seines Selbst, und sein Selbst bleibt erhalten. Des Wassers Güte ist es, allen Wesen zu nützen ohne Streit. Ist…

  • Quote of the day

    “By focusing attention on the so-called “objective” consensus about a given object, our culture takes the most superficial layer of reality to be the primary one and thus fails to realize that it is the sum total of the different perspectives on the object that constitute its multidimensional reality. It is the so-called subjective dimension…

  • The impurity of individuality (haikus)

    chasing the me all over, I failed to sit with the them-ness of others – lost presence, lost fullness, lost bliss. fissures and shards will not make a vase.
