What does it mean to understand another person? It's easy to understand a counterpart when you agree, because then you simply agree with yourself, perhaps even enjoy seeing your own thinking reflected in the other, enriched by a slightly different perspective, more colorful, more lively, more energetic, because both are happy to have found someone [...].
Full moon
Et is full moon in India. Time for self-reflection, meditation and inner reflection. I have never really thought about death. It has always been a boundary for me, the thing that defines our existence in a negative way. Finitude throws us back on ourselves, or so I thought. I somewhat agreed with Heidegger here.

Structure and process
Dhe traditional music of India, the raga, is melodic in relation to a keynote. Occidental music is harmonic, i.e. simultaneous and complex. In the Occident, much is thought in terms of structures; for a while there was much talk of structuralist and post-structuralist thinking.

Dakshinamurti
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, [...]
Connection
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 [...]
