Consciousness only exists in connection with other consciousness
The central concept of our existence - not understood until now.
II woke up from a nightmare at 4 o'clock in the morning. I was talking to Will in Apt about a strange irritation in my perception of time. I described how time fell into fragments and some were simply missing. It was a matter of seconds or minutes, and while I tried to immerse myself in time to describe it better, [...]
Vhe last two years I have immersed myself quite deeply in the Upanishads, practiced some yoga and studied the system of yoga a little. I have immersed myself in my own body, my own senses, my own consciousness. I have seen that there are a large number of levels and that there is no reason [...]

Wuring the Chola empire, the layout of Shiva temples was highly formalized. Based on the agamas and shastras, the temple was fully developed into a place in space, time and consciousness where the microcosm and macrocosm mirror each other. The study of the Irumbai temple as a smaller temple following the strict rules of temple construction and as a [...]

Mometimes 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 rest and higher consciousness shows up, a different kind of knowledge, space and time, a different world of experience... But sometimes it is also difficult, and then [...]
Vome people have the idea that we live in a world that is made up of matter and follows the laws of physics and various theories, such as the theory of evolution. This is strange, because matter as such does not really exist, E=mc² stands for it. I don't really understand this formula, but it symbolizes that the [...]
When I read a book, watch a movie, immerse myself in a painting or take part in a performance, what exactly is happening? I am experiencing something, images, feelings and experiences are awakened in me. Imagine a movie, a book, a play or a painting that is about human [...]
VThere is a soft red sand floor in front of my door. It is swept several times a week with a bundle of palm leaves and looks beautiful. I am still thinking about the same temple in Irumbai. Its history is becoming more and more complex, and so I am now immersing myself in tantra philosophy. To do this, a few months ago I visited a [...]
Lou read Sri Aurobindo again and again at long intervals. Why not absorb everything much and quickly and finally bring order into my world of thoughts, which wants to break free from the consequences of rational monotheism? Why don't I give my intellect the freedom, concentration, peace and strength to embark on one of life's greatest adventures? [...]
Sdestiny, karma, causality, laws of nature, determinism - these are all different expressions of the idea that the universe follows a predictable logic. They imply that what has happened has arisen logically from what has gone before and that the present is also determined by what has gone before. We consider this logic to be reasonable and rational, logically correct. However, if we assume [...]
When the rational mind wanders through the worlds of knowledge, rummages through the library or searches for the causal laws of the universe, it is a meticulous task of constructing knowledge systems. These systems initially have little in common with the world of experience or even the inner world. It is only through contemplation that the mind pauses and considers the systematized, [...]
(this is an old text of mine, found in the archives. It is strange to read it again, as it shows to me how desperately I tried to get out of the trap of representation and the urge to embrace a philosophy of immanence. I went through so many ideas, looked at so many artists [...]
II am slowly penetrating a little deeper into the superficiality. Concepts that I have absorbed from different knowledge systems such as the Vedas, Agamas, Shastras are slowly connecting. I see rough root systems. For example, how the 5 elements (water, fire, earth, ether and air) as a starting point in the teachings of the Vedas develop further in Vastu or Ayurveda, i.e. in [...].
Goday, during a panel discussion at the India Art Fair, I heard someone quoting Plato. She said that Plato said that art is the reflection of the reflection of the real. Whether this is true in this abbreviated form remains to be seen. It is an interesting thought. What is the real, what is a reflection, what is art? For Plato there is [...]
II am fascinated by the synchronicities here in Auroville. The mental, spiritual, physical and emotional spaces that intertwine here often do so over several days, seemingly effortlessly, intuitively, easily. I was exhausted. A friend had left his body, as they say here. The community had provided support for over a month, many had grown together. [...]
GYesterday I had a long conversation about the origin of thought. Which comes first, the words or the thoughts. There are of course very different forms of thinking. Visual, musical, analytical, synthetic, performative thinking etc... There is thinking on the level of intuition, there is thinking in memory, there is vision [...]

Et is so wonderful and also so sad to live in a world that sees the West as foreign. I am adopting this perspective more and more and no longer understand many things. The obsession with career, comfort, security, prosperity, accuracy, correctness, know-it-all attitude and arrogance, ignorance and intolerance. All of this is becoming clearer, it is almost evident. [...]
Dhe word "werden" in German has a causal meaning, while "becoming" in English stands for the development of a process. Recognizing differences is important, especially in postmodern thought. Gilles Deleuze describes how sensations are united in a reflection, similar to a distant light. The world of "becoming" is about consciousness, sensations and change.
