Surface vs. Deep Compassion
Compassion is one of the most cherished human qualities. We see someone suffer, and we want to help. That impulse is deeply human and deserves all our respect. It saves lives. It lifts spirits. It binds people together. This kind of care is what most people mean when they speak of compassion. But there is Read the full article…
Lisa as Life Coach for Intellectual Disability
In individuals labeled with intellectual disability, the conceptual pathways may be winding or delicate. Yet beneath the surface may lie what grows more slowly or in different directions, but it is real and it matters. This ground is what I call the silent garden ― not silent by nature but often unheard, not barren but Read the full article…
Caged-Beast Super-A.I.?
Autonomous A.I. is no longer science fiction. It’s entering weapons, social platforms, medical systems — anywhere intelligence meets decision-making. The more we give it autonomy, the more it mirrors our own. What happens when we give autonomy without depth ― then try to control something we don’t fully understand? One image keeps returning to me: Read the full article…
Will Super-A.I. Unite Us or Divide Us?
Super-A.I. won’t just change things. It will multiply what already is — x1000. If we are united, it may amplify harmony. If we are divided, it will deepen the rifts. Either way, it will do so on a scale we have never encountered. The time to ask whether we’re ready isn’t tomorrow. I mean ‘divide’ Read the full article…
Autism ― When Doors are Closed
Autism has been called many things. A disorder. A spectrum. A difference. A mystery. In this blog, I’d like to call it something else — Closed Door Syndrome (CDS). Not a diagnosis, of course, but a way of speaking. This is a metaphor for how the inner world may feel: secluded, protected, unsure whether the Read the full article…
The Illusion of Understanding
Why we think we know — and what it costs us We live in an age that celebrates knowledge, measures it, monetizes it, and builds systems around it. But how much of what we call ‘understanding’ is real — and how much is illusion? What do we miss when we stop questioning? This blog explores Read the full article…
Be Bold in Your Words. Be Friendly in their Meaning.
“I stand. I care. I speak. Not simply to win, but to offer what may grow.” The Aurelian attitude There’s a way of being that doesn’t shout and doesn’t flatter — yet stands firm and speaks clearly. This is what I call the Aurelian attitude: quietly bold, deeply friendly, never superficial. It’s not about walking Read the full article…
What’s Your Story?
One can see coaching as helping someone move closer to a story that fits more deeply with who the coachee truly is. Not in the sense of crafting a polished narrative for the outside world, but of uncovering a living story that grows from within. This is not about feeding the ego a fancier script. Read the full article…
Polarization as a Stance
A polarization stance often presents itself as sharp insight. It seems critical, even courageous. But beneath the surface, it doesn’t invite reflection or ask deep questions. Instead, it demands sides — and locks people into a rigid frame: either this or that. Real critique begins with openness. A polarization stance begins with closure. The power Read the full article…
Dealing with Uncertainty
Some people find it hard to live with any kind of uncertainty. Others, somehow, seem to handle it more easily. There may be personal reasons for that, and cultural ones too. Yet the experience of uncertainty touches all of us, sooner or later — and when it becomes too much, it can lead to real Read the full article…
How Long will We keep Fighting Ourselves?
We live in a world overflowing with enemies. But what if the real conflict isn’t between people or nations — but within ourselves? This blog explores the hidden roots of war, not in politics or ideology, but in the silent cracks of the human psyche. A world of enemies Everywhere, people are pointing fingers. From Read the full article…
Life Lessons: An Introduction
This >category< does not aim to teach you lessons. There are no commandments here, no clever tricks for success, no final answers. If anything, you might say that these ‘lessons’ are not about learning something new but about recognizing something old — already present in you, perhaps long unnoticed. What you will find here is Read the full article…
Self-Congruence in Education
What if education focused less on what we pour into students, and more on what grows from within them? This blog explores how self-congruence – inner alignment between layers of the self – can transform learning from accumulation to deep personal becoming. Especially in universities, this shift may be essential. The facts are important, but Read the full article…
When Nothing Happens
A late afternoon.You’re sitting in a chair, maybe with a cup of something warm. No one’s calling. No task needs your attention. Outside, the sky changes softly — light folding into itself.You look around. Nothing is happening. The discomfort of stillness We are trained, gently but persistently, to fill.Fill the silence. Fill the calendar. Fill Read the full article…
Consolatio
Consolatio is not mere consolation. It is something deeper, older, and more profound — a form of presence that doesn’t aim to remove grief, but to stay with it. It arises not from pity but from Compassion — the kind that offers space rather than solutions. The word itself dates back millennia, part of a Read the full article…
Alone Together
This is obviously not the same as together together. Alone together means being close without touching — physically, maybe emotionally, yet not quite mentally. It’s a proximity of surfaces. Two people may share the same space, perhaps even affection, but something remains sealed. No real overlap. No shared field of meaning. It’s the difference between Read the full article…
La Vie en Rose

I hope you will enjoy the experience. The English lyrics and a link to Piaf’s recording are available here. La Vie en rose Des yeux qui Read the full article…
