New Spirits - Reading Deleuze in India
Consciousness only exists in connection with other consciousness
I'm sitting in a café in France. There's a lot of chatter around me. This morning I was 'on the Internet'. How different these experiences are. It's hard to compare pears with apples, and yet we often do. Working in the office and working from home, for example, are similar, searching for community on social networks or on the [...]
An intense month comes to an end. Moving, spatial separation, friends parting, the love of godchildren, new friendships, longings, waiting... I could write a screenplay about the last few weeks in Provence. Every day filled with pain, compassion and love - collectively in different constellations. But I don't want to tell these little stories, even though Marcel Pagnol [...]
When the Internet became accessible to the public, i.e. in the mid-1990s, there was a phenomenon of people putting their deepest secrets online. The anonymity, simplicity and speed were seductive. Confessions were quickly made, anonymity was largely preserved and perhaps there was even that little thrill that maybe someone you knew [...]
Today I dreamt that I was cutting myself off. I changed something in my life because I could no longer go along with it. My dream provided me with an image that I could easily understand.

This perspective disturbs me. Why should life have a crisis? It seems to be more a case of life communities being called into question [...]
It was a tour de force. Breaking up the apartment, moving house with friends, putting things in storage, reorienting ourselves before starting a new chapter. Leaving the familiar, breaking the status quo, doing what is important and right without compromising. But that also means suffering and inflicting injuries, breaking things and planting new ones. The only strange thing is that some friends [...]
I am currently undergoing a metamorphosis. At a meeting the other day, someone said that this was a wonderful group of caterpillars. I was taken aback. He said, yes ... soon these will be butterflies. A friend once said that metamorphosis is proof of God. How else could it be explained that a caterpillar becomes a butterfly in purely evolutionary steps [...]
Some time ago, I was talking to a friend about the fact that I was saying goodbye to many ideas. I told her that I - quite unscientifically - visit my memories and think about why I no longer find certain ideas interesting, that these are often ideas that I dealt with in my studies. Great ideas!
