The levitating monk
“Prince Gautama, who had become Buddha, saw one of his followers meditating under a tree at the edge of the Ganges River. Upon inquiring why he was meditating, his follower stated he was attempting to become so enlightened he could cross the river unaided. Buddha gave him a few pennies and said: “Why don’t you […]

The story of Convenience and Trouble
Humankind invest in convenience and comfort. We choose the path of less resistance as often as we can. It’s what has brought us here. Our need for it is self-fulfilling. The more we get the more we need. “It’s a nice life you have there. Be a shame if anything happened to it.” Convenience warns […]

Take possession of your life
“You can’t just walk into things with your eyes half open. You’ve got to know what you’re getting into and take possession of your life. It’s a thought process you constantly have to reaffirm or you’ll drift.” Paraphrased quote by Guy Ritchie

Outliving relevancy
Among my scariest thoughts is the one that in 100.. 500.. 1000 years from now everything will still be the same. And this is harsh.. But nature takes care of a lot of problems over time. If we mess with immortality many ideas might very well outlive their relevancy.

A letter from the brain to the brain
With my brain disease I often feel like my subconscious is able to communicate too directly with my consciousness in non-audible and non-conversational ways. This is a letter I imagined my subconscious would write my consciousness if it could. It’s exists in a conflict of troublesome grandiosity and comforting self-doubt.

You’ll meet a lot of people, who, to put it simply don’t know what they are talking about
