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…
The Fundamentalist Streak
Fundamentalism is not just a religious or political issue. It’s a deep human tendency. It appears when people feel threatened by inevitable change, and react by clinging rigidly to what they believe must be preserved. In doing so, they attempt to preserve depth but may ultimately lose it. This is what I call the fundamentalist Read the full article…
Surface-Level Whirlpool
A whirlpool moves fast, pulling everything into its center. A surface-level whirlpool works the same way in the human mind. It is fueled by endless mental loops, superficial satisfactions, and the illusion of progress. It traps people in cycles of craving and short-term relief, keeping them disconnected from genuine depth. At its heart, the whirlpool 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…
Dealing with Projection: The Present Responsibility
Projection is a psychological mechanism as old as humanity itself. But never before has it been as dangerous as it is today. We live in a time when projection is amplified by technology, reinforced by media, and weaponized for ideological battles. At the same time, we have tools that allow us to destroy on a Read the full article…
Breaking the Cycle of Projection
Projection is one of the most deceptive psychological mechanisms. It feels completely real. The emotions are intense. The justifications seem logical. And yet, when we project, we are often fighting a reflection of ourselves. We externalize our inner conflicts onto people, groups, or even entire cultures, believing that the enemy is ‘out there.’ This creates Read the full article…
Projecting the Inner Enemy
Projection happens everywhere. We see it in personal conflicts, politics, and even wars. Someone points at an external ‘enemy,’ convinced that this enemy is the problem. But what if the real issue isn’t outside at all? What if the true struggle is within? The irony of projection is that it feels completely real. The emotions Read the full article…
Surface vs. Depth in Many Ways
We often speak of depth as if it’s a single thing. But depth unfolds, deepens, and ultimately transforms those who truly enter it. Many believe they understand a domain fully in-depth when they have only skimmed its surface. Others mistake complexity for depth, believing that accumulating knowledge or experience makes them profound. But true depth Read the full article…
Open Religion & Depth
For many, religion is about following rules, belonging to a group, or accepting a doctrine. But what if religion is not meant to be a wall that separates but a door that invites? Not a final answer, but an ever-unfolding horizon? This is what is meant by Open Religion. It is not about rejecting religion Read the full article…

A face turning toward you, sunlight breaking through a gap in the clouds, standing at the edge of the sea, letting the waves come and go without resistance. These moments feel like Openness — something alive, something that breathes. You know it when you see it, just like you recognize it in a person. Have Read the full article…
Is Depth Necessary?
In a world driven by speed and instant gratification, depth often seems unnecessary. Why look beyond the surface when life appears to function well enough? Many assume they don’t need depth because they don’t feel its absence until crisis, emptiness, or fragmentation reveals what was missing all along. Depth isn’t just about philosophy or introspection.

The Use of Anchors in Lisa’s Learning

Philosophers vs. Philosophies
Philosophies often begin as living, breathing processes embodied by thinkers who wrestle with the deepest questions of existence. But over time, what was once a dynamic exploration frequently hardens into a fixed system. The philosopher – a person engaged in the ongoing act of questioning – becomes overshadowed by the philosophy, which claims to offer Read the full article…
