About AURELIS – Blog
[To get this in your email, RSS…, click here.]
AURELIS is about respecting the total human being in the mental domain. This includes conscious as well as non-conscious processing.
Modern science is making huge progress in the latter domain, showing its immense influence on how – as total beings – we feel, think, act, decide…
This blogging encompasses consequences on a broad range of human endeavors, be it healthcare, wellness, education, leadership, sociocultural issues etc. from an AURELIS point of view.
A central AURELIS assumption is that faith in human being is warranted. With proper support, people can find their inner strength and motivation to use it for the good of themselves and others. Having this faith is of course one of the mainstays of proper support, as a starters.
With every blog text, I invite you, reader, to consider. There are no ultimate truths. This shouldn’t lead one to descend into an abyss of relativism. One can make a meaningful effort to proceed, to think more clearly and within a web of consistency. The question “Am I 100% sure to be correct in this?” is eventually less important than putting effort in striving to be so.
These blogging texts are not meant to always be easy. So, please don’t go over them too quickly. My purpose is to invite you to open yourself. Don’t let yourself be ‘convinced’ by any of this unless you feel it deep inside yourself. If doing this while reading on screen is difficult, you can print them out.
AURELIS as a whole is about inviting you, or even better said ‘letting you invite yourself’: AUto-suggestion. This is a combination of freedom + direction. At your pace, you can RELax into a durable way of making progress, attaining your Inner Strength.

Be yourself. Find strength. Have fun.

A Disease is a Continuum, Not an Entity
Medical textbooks generally list diseases as crisp entities. This may be OK in a book, providing exemplars of reality. However, real reality is different. This has several far-reaching consequences.

Object-Science Versus Subject-Science
Science about objects: physics, chemistry… Science about subjects: psychology, history… Both sciences are different and important. Alpha, beta, positive etc. Let’s skip that and simply talk about object- versus subject-science. This is related to, respectively, closed-world versus open-world phenomena. Explanatory analogy: A cloud (‘open world’ with lots of possible influences in all directions) doesn’t fit Read the full article…
Why Humanism Needs AURELIS
I admit: this title is quite highbrow. I need to do some explaining. [see also: “Humanism with a Vengeance”] Humanism = taking human being into account as-is. Not as some organization portrays it if this runs counter to obvious reality, of which science and rationality are pretty good critics, even if not necessarily the only Read the full article…
