New Spirits - Reading Deleuze in India
Consciousness only exists in connection with other consciousness
My morning meditation is becoming a bit routine, though one can hardly say that after only a handful of times. It's more of a stretch, a path, or an exploration. Like hiking in the mountains: with the summit in sight, hiking through the paths, along the ridges, through the valleys and rivers, past the rock faces, through scree and rocks, meadows and forests, and beyond the tree line on the glaciers in the snow, the mountains become a metaphor for the inner search.

I woke up from a nightmare at 4 AM. I was talking to Will in Apt about a strange irritation in my perception of time. I described how time was fragmenting and some parts were simply missing. It was seconds or minutes, and as I tried to dive into the time to describe it better, it went black. I screamed for help, I was blind, and I woke up. It was one of those dreams where I seemed to die. Immediately...

It follows the main principles of Vastu,…

Sometimes meditation is quite simple and natural. I sit down, go into my body, become aware of my sensory apparatus and how my consciousness and mind deal with it, bring everything to a standstill and higher consciousness manifests itself, a different kind of knowledge, space and time, a different world of experience... But sometimes it is also difficult, and then I learn how meditation really works. I sit down, a chaos of thoughts and feelings spreads. It takes a long time until I...

Many have the idea that we live in a world made of matter, following the laws of physics and various theories such as the theory of evolution. This is strange, because matter as such doesn't really exist, E=mc² stands for this. I don't really understand this formula, but it symbolically represents that in the end everything is energy, possibly even just vibration as the string theory claims. Then there is the physics of the macrocosm and the microcosm. They contradict each other...
