Humans search for freedom in two different but intertwined arenas. The personal arena of thoughts and beliefs and the societal arena of action and reaction. Spirituality and politics.
This website is dedicated to that search.
And it is dedicated to (1) the recognition that these arenas cannot be separated from one another and (2) that personal responsibility is a basic prerequisite for progress.
Because without personal responsibility we live via proxy. Via facade.
Without radical personal responsibility we engage the world through a fabricated construction of ourselves that we don’t understand.
You cannot understand anything, without first understanding yourself.
Appearances can however be deceiving as we seek to understand ourselves, and this world. The search is not out there.
Instead, it’s a janitorial mind job.
Life will unravel itself. That’s what it does. If you care to look, it’s all pretty obvious.
But looking isn’t obvious. And without looking, the world never made much sense.
Then came traveling. Studies. More travelling. Marriage. Business. Work. Children. Parenthood.
And the slowly accelerating spiral of addiction.
If you want to live, life finds a way.
Ultimately I’m always brought back to the corridors of my own mind.
Many voices tell different stories.
Until I quiet the voices. Then I find peace. And that’s freedom.
