Liberation for no-one
The idea of enlightenment often comes with the expectation of liberation and healing from all kinds of human suffering, be it trauma, sickness, grief, or loss. It doesn’t. Enlightenment doesn’t happen to someone; rather, the “person” disappears and is seen for what it is: a fictional character based on memory, conditioning, and belief. “I am”… Continue reading Liberation for no-one
It should, shouldn’t it?
The lifestream doesn’t provide a home for ideas of what should and shouldn’t be. Those exist as mental fabrications, but immediate aliveness doesn’t manifest through the concept of should or shouldn’t. It doesn’t prefer birth over death, growth over decline, or health over disease. Aliveness isn’t an exclusive appearance of heavenly happiness, it encompasses devouring… Continue reading It should, shouldn’t it?

Fragment #7- Fight Club
In the human matrix, the human mind, there seems to be a lot of war, a lot of fighting, for and against various mental fabrications. Fighting war, war against terror, war against drugs. Fighting for freedom, fighting for peace, fighting for any kind of rights. Fighting cancer, fighting climate change, fighting inequality. Endless combat. No… Continue reading Fragment #7- Fight Club
ID
With the shift, identity is gone.I remember, I was, I had many names, roots, origins. A life story, multi-dimensional.They all gave me apparent affiliation, and alienation, a longing for an imaginary way and place home. A deep longing for belonging, to a tribe, to something special, alien to this apparent world I didn’t understand, that… Continue reading ID
