Philosophy, art and spiritual practice - read slowly, really lived.
This is a personal blog. And at the same time, it is about a transformation of consciousness: consciousness does not exist singularly, but only in connection with other consciousness - it is communicative.
In 2016, I traveled to India to read Gilles Deleuze there. I read slowly: thoughts are complex entities. Understanding others means questioning your own thinking. An encounter between worlds of thought takes time. It was a metamorphosis of my thinking.
Along the way, transitions open up: from Deleuze to the Upanishads, from concepts to temples, from theory to practice - and (in Auroville) to a culture in which meditation does not need to be explained, but is „normal“.
