New Spirits - Reading Deleuze in India
Consciousness only exists in connection with other consciousness
The central concept of our existence - not understood until now.
Gesterday I went to sleep expecting to get up early and meditate. I set the alarm for 6 o'clock. In the evening, a French yoga teacher and mountain guide told me about the early morning hours in India, that they are the best for meditation - I already knew that they are good for ryas. She told me [...]
II remember always staring into the fire since I was a child. I think a lot of people do that. There is something fascinating about fire. In the Vedas, Agni is the god of fire, one of the five elements alongside water, air, earth and ether. The Greeks also have these elements. I didn't realize this for a very long time [...]
Sor many years I have known that I would like to practise 'yoga', but I have never done it. Similar to meditation, I didn't feel ready for it, or was put off by Western esoteric forms that ultimately see both meditation and yoga as self-optimization.

Often it is simply experience in a word in an endless loop, like a mantra so to speak. This worried me a lot for a long time. [...]
Me are still at a loss for words. The last few days have been characterized by thoughts about the Vedic scriptures. A companion from another life took me to visit Nishtha Muller, an Aurovillian who has dedicated his life to the Vedic scriptures. He spent almost 2 hours telling us in his very humble abode in the forest that he himself planted [...]
II didn't take much with me to India, a backpack full of clothes, books and technology. But I packed a good pair of headphones and bought an external cell phone hi-fi sound card from Tempotec for the USB-C output - it wasn't cheap, but it's excellent. I was very pleased when it [...]
