Why ‘Lisa — the Game’ is More than a Game
Sometimes, play requires a larger space than the word ‘game’ typically suggests. When the usual structures fall away, something more profound may appear. This blog looks at how a game can remain entirely a game while behaving differently. It continues earlier reflections, especially those in What’s in a (Video) Game?, and carries them into a Read the full article…
Where Lisa Meets Accountancy
In the broad domain of accountancy (incl. audit, tax, advisory, and risk), a unique professional pressure arises from the combination of regulation, judgment, liability, and scale. This blog shows where and how Lisa can meet this domain — wherever regulated judgment and sign-off responsibility exist. This is NOT just the narrow domain of ‘accountancy’ as Read the full article…
What’s in a (Video) Game?
Video games are often dismissed as childish — and sometimes rightly so. But perhaps the deeper question is not whether games are childish, but whether we have forgotten how to take play seriously. In recent decades, the word ‘game’ has come to cover experiences that differ profoundly in what they invite, demand, and shape. This Read the full article…
About Field-Presence
Some forms of presence do not announce themselves. They do not instruct, persuade, or demand attention, yet something unmistakably changes when they are there. A space settles, time loosens its grip, and experience seems to organize itself differently. This blog explores that phenomenon — not as a technique or effect, but as a deeper orientation Read the full article…
What Schizophrenia Shows Us about Normal Thinking
When coherence weakens in schizophrenia, processes normally hidden beneath the surface become visible. These processes – prediction, symbolism, cultural resonance – shape every moment of human experience. By looking closely, we learn not only about psychosis but about the fragile and beautiful architecture of normal thought. This blog explores that shared terrain with depth and Read the full article…
Cultural Psychosis?
When shared narratives weaken and symbolic life becomes brittle, societies may drift toward rigidity or chaos in their attempt to make sense of overwhelming pressures. Cultures, like individuals, can lose coherence. By examining these processes with depth and Compassion, we can understand how cultural meaning fractures — and how it can be restored. When cultures Read the full article…
Is Compassion the Cure for Schizophrenia?
Behind symptoms of schizophrenia lies a human struggle for inner coherence. When that coherence wavers, life can swing between chaotic overflow and rigid shutdown. The question is then not only what medicine can do, but what we, as fellow human beings, can offer. Compassion, understood in depth, may not be the cure — yet without Read the full article…
The Meta-Triangle
Many AURELIS insights take the form of a triangle, as if three directions naturally emerge whenever human growth or tension is involved. Over the years, these triangles have appeared across different domains, yet they seem to point to a single underlying dynamic. This blog explores that deeper structure. I call it the ‘Meta-Triangle,’ because it Read the full article…
AURELIS & Accelerationism
‘Accelerationism’ is the belief that speeding up social, technological, or economic processes will bring about a major transformation that otherwise feels blocked or too slow. The hunger for transformation is real, and the frustration with stagnation is understandable. This blog explores why accelerationism appears, how its various strands diverge, and how AURELIS offers another path Read the full article…
The God Wave vs. Big Bang
Two very different ways of looking at the universe may say something about how we see ourselves. One focuses on a single moment of origin; the other on a continual surfacing from nothing and sinking away again. Neither asks to be believed. Both invite reflection. Let’s explore how they resonate with meaning, ethics, and even Read the full article…
Schizophrenia as a Dynamic Coherence Disorder
Schizophrenia is usually approached through isolated lenses ― either singular or as a combination of singularities: biological, psychological, or social. Yet symptoms often reflect patterns that boldly cross these boundaries. This blog proposes a unified way of seeing schizophrenia as a Dynamic Coherence Disorder, where stability is at risk across the brain, symbolic meaning, and Read the full article…
Symbolism-Support in Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia involves a surge of symbolic material that can overwhelm a person when integration falters. Earlier blogs explored how such surges ‘break through the roof’ and how cultural environments shape the brain’s response. This blog focuses on how symbolic depth can be supported rather than suppressed. It describes a gentle, non-coercive stance that helps symbolic Read the full article…
Schizophrenia in Cultures and the Brain
Schizophrenia occurs in every part of the world, yet cultures differ remarkably in how the condition unfolds and how people live with it. These variations reveal that biology alone cannot explain the wide range of outcomes. This blog explores the rich interplay between cultural meaning and neuronal patterns, offering a broader view of schizophrenia’s many Read the full article…
Schizophrenia: Analogy Through the Roof
Schizophrenia has often been described as a disease of the brain, yet this tells little about what a person actually goes through. In the AURELIS view, the phenomenon becomes clearer when seen as analogy rising too strongly and too vertically, breaking the inner roof that usually contains symbolic experience. This perspective neither glorifies nor reduces Read the full article…
Negative Emotions in Society
Negative emotions play a powerful role not only in individuals but also in society. They influence relationships, schools, workplaces, politics, justice, and even spiritual life. When taken at face value, they can escalate conflict or silence deeper concerns. When understood as expressions of unmet meaning, they open the door to connection. This blog explores how Read the full article…
Negative Emotions and Health
Negative emotions touch the body in subtle and powerful ways. When these emotions are handled with depth, they contribute to physiological resilience, yet when suppressed, they may slowly build strain. This blog explores how emotional meaning interacts with the organism’s stress system and why this matters for health. It also shows why medicine struggles with Read the full article…
