Philosophy, art, and spiritual practice — read slowly, truly lived.
This is a personal blog. And at the same time, it is about a transformation of consciousness: consciousness does not exist in isolation, but only in connection with other consciousness — it is communicative.
In 2016, I traveled to India to read Gilles Deleuze there. I read slowly: thoughts are complex formations. Understanding others means questioning one’s own thinking. An encounter between worlds of thought takes time. It was a metamorphosis of my thinking.
Along the way, passages open up here: from Deleuze to the Upanishads, from concepts to temples, from theory to practice — and, in Auroville, to a culture in which meditation needs no explanation, but is normal.
Three Starting Points
If you are new here, don’t begin chronologically. These three texts open up the project’s main lines.
Reading Deleuze in India
A Philosophical Metamorphosis
The central starting point for the project: reading Deleuze in India, thinking slowly, and transforming one’s own way of thinking.
Immanence
Deleuze and Pure Consciousness
A fundamental concept as experience: life, consciousness, and immanence beyond a separate subject.
Kena Upanishad
Attention, Listening, Thinking
A text that shifts thinking, listening, seeing, and attention into one another: what thinks in thinking?

Other Foundational Texts
These texts deepen individual lines: practice, Auroville, art, sound, and inner freedom.
Bodhi Zendo
Meditation, stillness, and practice in South India: what does practice mean when philosophy becomes breath and posture?
A Year in Auroville
Auroville as a space of experience: everyday life, transformation, community, and the possibility of organizing life differently.
Art Before Theory
Art as its own form of knowing rather than an illustration of thoughts: perception before concept.
Music – Nāda-Brahman
Sound as a form of consciousness, listening as a method.
