Compassion Knows no Boundaries
St. Augustine once said, “Love, and do what you will.” A famous line, often quoted, rarely understood at its depth. He was pointing, it seems, to what he elsewhere called the ordo amoris — the right ordering of our loves. But where does the ‘ought’ behind that order come from? He didn’t say. And so, Read the full article…
Love and Compassion
Love and Compassion are often mentioned together, as if interchangeable. In truth, they are deeply intertwined, yet essentially distinct. Understanding them in relation to each other helps us live them more fully and walk a path that is both grounded and free. This blog is about how these two beautiful realities — love and Compassion Read the full article…
Why Planetarianism?
Planetarianism is not modest in scope or quiet in its ambition. And yet, it doesn’t force or shout. It doesn’t come from ideology or demand agreement, but from something older and deeper: people’s desire to live in meaningful connection, to grow from inside, and to belong — not just to a country or culture, but Read the full article…
A ‘Good Society’ Strives for Inner Freedom
This blog continues the reflections from Autonomy vs. Inner Freedom — a conversation between Lisa and me about the deep implications of these concepts for both humanity and super-A.I. If you haven’t read it yet, I warmly recommend doing so first. In that dialogue, we explored how Inner Freedom is more than autonomy — it Read the full article…
Autonomy vs. Inner Freedom
This blog is an exploration of the title’s idea in general, and more specifically regarding humans and A.I. The difference between autonomy and Inner Freedom touches the core of what it means to be a person — or a person-like presence.

Is Nature about the Right of the Strongest?
At first glance, nature might seem like a brutal arena, where force triumphs and the weak fall away. But this image may say more about our projections than about reality itself. If we let go of superficial interpretations and take the time to truly observe, something much deeper emerges: a story not of domination, but Read the full article…
Socio-Psycho-Somatic Coaching
This blog’s message is simple in principle but deeply impactful in practice: true coaching is socio-psycho-somatic. Some may add a fourth domain: the spiritual or ‘deep mind.’ From the AURELIS view, that’s rather the foundation under all the rest. Human beings are not disjointed collections of parts. We are unified wholes, living patterns of body, Read the full article…
The Sea of Mental Depth
This blog is an invitation to feel – not merely to think about – the vast inner sea that lives within each of us. It is as close as breath and yet often seems unreachable. We walk with it, talk over it, build our lives beside it. And still, many know almost nothing about it. Read the full article…
Divisiveness Dressed up as Insight
Sometimes a sentence sounds so sharp, so confident, so precise, that we take it as truth. It’s shared widely, repeated as wisdom, and praised for “saying it like it is.” But what if that sentence – so eloquent, so cutting – only deepens the divide between people? What if its clarity is not real insight, Read the full article…

The Aurelian Spirit is Inviting and Quietly Bold
‘Inviting and quietly bold’ — these words seem to whisper rather than announce, yet they carry the core energy of AURELIS. It doesn’t push. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t try to impress. Instead, it dares to go deep — respectfully, gently, and with complete trust in what may grow from within. Like a hand that Read the full article…
All Things Subconceptual
There are many ways to divide the human world — reason and emotion, body and mind, inner and outer. However, one of the most profound and overlooked is the divide between the conceptual and the subconceptual. It is not a division of two types of content, but of two modes of being. One is what Read the full article…
Is Compassion a Bridge Too Far?
Compassion is hard to grasp — and that’s part of the challenge. People frequently either get it or they don’t. For many, it seems as remote as Eastern Enlightenment, or as unreachable as genuine human depth in a world focused on surfaces. It’s no surprise that some call it ‘a bridge too far.’ And yet, Read the full article…
Tribelization
It can begin softly, with a sense of belonging. Then something shifts. The group tightens. A line is drawn. ‘We’ becomes sacred. ‘They’ become suspect. After a while, it’s no longer about shared values but shared enemies. ‘Tribelization’ is a neologism ― distinct from ‘tribalization.’ The symbolic nature of the tribe A tribe can be Read the full article…
Beyond Vagueness: Flexible Understanding
As seen in >Vagueness of Mind<, vagueness can hold depth, nuance, even a kind of sacred richness. But after standing in the mist for a while, a question begins to arise: What now? Must we live forever in not-knowing? Not necessarily. There is a way forward toward a kind of understanding that stays open, alive, Read the full article…
Mass Psychology
Mass psychology is one of the most powerful forces in human history. It has built civilizations, shaped revolutions, and fueled some of humanity’s greatest achievements. Yet, at the same time, it has led to manipulation, oppression, and the loss of individual autonomy. This force is neither inherently good nor inherently bad. So, how can we Read the full article…
