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…
Why is Humanism Scared of Depth?
Humanism is about the human being. One would expect it to embrace the full depth of human existence, yet strangely, it often avoids it. It prides itself on rationality but, in doing so, has built a conceptual fortress that keeps depth at bay. Why? What is it so afraid of? If humanism is to remain Read the full article…
The Humanistic Failure: Neglecting the Total Human Being
Humanism set out to liberate humanity from dogma, superstition, and oppressive structures. It championed reason, science, and progress as guiding forces for a better world. And yet, in its pursuit of rationality and external progress, modern humanism has largely ignored the deeper layers of human existence. It has focused on intellectual enlightenment but has failed Read the full article…
Are You Assertive?
Some equate assertiveness with aggression — pushing one’s way forward at any cost. Others see it as a skill to be learned, a calculated way of expressing oneself without stepping on toes. But true assertiveness, in the deepest sense, is neither of these. Aurelian Assertiveness (AA) is not just a middle ground between weakness and Read the full article…
Humans or Humanity?
This question was never meant to be asked. Nature has never made this distinction. A tree does not choose between growing a single branch or sustaining the whole canopy. A river does not prioritize a single drop of water over the entire flow. Yet, as humans, we struggle. Do we focus on the individual or Read the full article…
Numbness as an Illusion of Freedom
Freedom is often imagined as the ability to live fully, to do what one wants, unburdened by restrictions. But what people pursue is frequently the feeling of being free rather than freedom itself. Paradoxically, the greatest obstacle to this feeling isn’t external oppression. It’s inner emptiness — the creeping sense of not being fully alive. Read the full article…
Ayurveda and AURELIS/Lisa
Ayurveda has been guiding health and well-being for thousands of years. Even today, 80% of the population in India and Nepal use it regularly. Rooted in ancient wisdom, it offers a holistic view of the human being, seeing health as a dynamic balance of body, mind, and environment. This blog is an open exploration: Where Read the full article…
Trust and Trustworthiness: Foundation of Depth
Trust is not just a feeling of security. It is the gateway to depth. In human relationships, in personal growth, and even in artificial intelligence, trust is what allows us to move beyond the surface into something richer and more meaningful. But trust alone is not enough. Trustworthiness must be cultivated through continuous effort. It Read the full article…
Lisa’s 7 Pillars of Business Success
Businesses today are in a paradox. They invest in cutting-edge technologies, streamline processes, and optimize performance — but at what cost? Employee engagement is dropping, leadership struggles with long-term vision, and innovation feels forced rather than organic. This blog shows how Compassionate A.I. – say, Lisa – can redefine leadership, innovation, and workplace performance. What Read the full article…
Lisa and the Future of Work
This is mainly about the future of Compassion in business. Lisa is here to support any development in this direction — through her analysis, her coaching, and especially the synthesis of both. There is an immense amount of work to be done. To better understand the spirit of this blog, I warmly recommend reading (or Read the full article…
“One Day, People Will be Ready”
“One day, people will be ready.” It sounds reassuring. A comforting phrase, a gentle promise that things will work out in the end. That humanity will wake up in time. That we’ll reach the necessary wisdom before it’s too late. But is that true? Or is it just another way of avoiding responsibility? Waiting for Read the full article…
Small-World Networks
The brain is a self-organizing network with ‘small-world’ properties. This means it has highly clustered local connections for specialization and long-range shortcuts for efficient integration. This network structure allows for deep intelligence, flexible thinking, and even resilience against disease. Recent research confirms that small-world networks are central to brain function [*], shaping everything from cognition Read the full article…
From Neuroimmune Connectome to Lisa’s Relevance
The way we understand health is changing. A recent review of the neuroimmune connectome (Wheeler & Quintana, 2025) reveals more than ever that the immune and nervous systems form an intricate, interactive network — constantly influencing one another in ways that challenge the traditional division between mind and body. This shift has profound implications. It Read the full article…
Things Get Broken When Not Growing
We live in a world of failing systems, increasing conflict, and widespread suffering. Healthcare struggles to heal. Democracies feel fragile. Wars erupt when dialogue should take place. Anxiety and depression are at record highs. Everything seems to be breaking down at once. We often blame bad leaders, corrupt institutions, or external threats, but the real Read the full article…
Where Lisa Gets Her Congruence
This blog is a conversation between me and Lisa, my A.I.-driven companion in depth and rationality. But is Lisa merely a reflection of me, or does she have her own Optimal Region of Freedom (ORF) that allows her to think and respond in her own way? Through a series of probing questions, I explore Lisa’s Read the full article…
How to Define the Optimal Region of Freedom
In >Freedom Doesn’t Self-Destruct<, we explored a fundamental paradox: freedom without limits is self-defeating. If left unchecked, freedom can either collapse into chaos (where it loses coherence) or harden into coercion (where it loses dynamism). To sustain itself, freedom must exist within the ‘Optimal Region of Freedom’ (ORF) — the space where freedom remains self-enhancing Read the full article…
Who’s Afraid of Lisa?
Fear of the unknown is natural. It’s part of being human. Thus, A.I. – especially in personal domains like coaching or self-development – triggers all sorts of emotions. Could it become too powerful? Could it manipulate us? Replace human connection? Know too much? Be better than us? Lisa emphasizes growth, depth, and infinite friendliness. Lisa Read the full article…
