New Spirits - Reading Deleuze in India
Consciousness only exists in connection with other consciousness
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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
