Rapid Cultural Change and Societal Inner Dissociation
In societies already burdened by Societal Inner Dissociation (SID), rapid cultural change acts like a fierce storm hitting a structurally weakened bridge. The cracks were already there — unseen by many but ever-widening. When change comes quickly, as with globalization, technological disruption, or political upheaval, the fragile coherence shatters dramatically. This post is part of Read the full article…
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…
What Ethical A.I. is (Not)
There’s a growing urgency around how we shape the future of artificial intelligence. More and more, we hear about ‘ethical A.I.’ — systems that behave nicely, avoid harm, and follow rules. But let’s pause. Is that really what ethics means? And more importantly, is that all it can be? Please first read this blog: What Read the full article…
What Ethics is (Not)
It’s tempting to think of ethics as a list of rules or a shared agreement about what’s right. But when we look deeper, something more alive emerges — something that grows, adapts, and calls us inward. This blog explores what ethics is not in order to clear the way for a deeper understanding of what Read the full article…
In A.I.: Do Big Data Compensate for Lack of Insight?
While today’s A.I. systems impress with speed and scale, the deeper concern isn’t what they can do — but what they cannot. In a world awash with data, have we mistaken accumulation for understanding? This blog explores why true intelligence requires more than brute force — and how a future of innerness-aware A.I. may offer 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…
From Appeasement to Compassionate Integrity
Me: “Lisa, in the blog >‘Appeasement?<,’ you gave a few guidelines that may help us, humans, use Compassion in order to diminish negative appeasement. Please expand upon your guidelines.” Lisa: “Of course. Each of these is not a fixed rule but an invitation — a gesture toward presence and inner strength. They’re not meant to Read the full article…
Filling Void with Noise
In today’s world, it’s hard to escape the loud and unstoppable noise on screens, in minds, conversations, and culture itself. We’re surrounded by a ricochet of short-span stimulation — reactions, performances, and certainties. Beneath it all, one question whispers: What are we trying not to hear? The answer, quietly persistent, is this: a void ― Read the full article…
Appeasement?
Is appeasement a path to peace, or just a way to postpone the inevitable? This blog explores what lies beneath appeasement ― and why real peace may begin where appeasement ends. The surface of calm Appeasement can look very peaceful. A soft voice, a quiet nod, the unspoken agreement to let things be. But is 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. This is the continuation of a conversation between Lisa and me at the end Read the full article…
Introducing the Mind into Somatic Caregiving
The mind is everywhere, yet strangely absent in many places where it should be most welcome. Somatic caregivers often work in domains where the body screams – sometimes literally – but the mind isn’t even whispered about. This blog is mainly for those caregivers who feel something’s missing, who may have sensed a silent presence Read the full article…
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…
Freedom of Being (Anything)
Any person must be free, basically, to be. That seems simple. It even sounds noble: freedom to be anything. Yet when taken literally, it immediately runs into a contradiction. If my freedom includes taking away yours, we’re no longer talking about freedom — we’re talking about domination. From the AURELIS perspective, freedom means nothing without Read the full article…
Lisa in the Medical Ecosystem
In many ways, Lisa is not part of medicine as we know it — and that is precisely why she can help reshape it. She isn’t a physician, nor a therapist. She doesn’t diagnose or cure. But her presence may be exactly what modern medicine needs most: a continuous thread of human meaning and Compassion 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…
