Emotional Amnesia

Have you ever experienced falling in love AGAIN, Feeling the Effect of an entheogenic substance AGAIN, Being on an Adventure AGAIN?

And your reaction was:
"Oh MY, I totally forgot how good this feels!"

How many times in our lives we underestimate how good it will feel... to feel

How many times in our lives we disregard the possibility... to feel

How many times in our lives we forget how it is... to feel

You take up that dormant hobby.
You step into the spring sunlight after a long winter.
You visit an old friend.
You step out of the airplane and smell a new culture.
You start working on a new project.
You Re-discover an old passion.

"How could I ever forget How good this feels?! HOW?"

This sends the signal that the feelings are not allowed to…

How to be an animal in a healthy way?

Western culture is suppressing it's animal nature and that's creating a dangerous shadow. That's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote in his first book "The birth of tragedy". I'd love to tell you how to express your animal nature in a healthy way. But I don't know. Here's what I do know; Tragedy was born in theater plays. A hero that wants order. And fights chaos. That's tragedy.…

Invisible things and how to find them

What do Eckhart Tolle, bees, kōans and Carl Jung's patients have in common? They are all pointing towards something you can't see. I lived in Japan. At the ecology department they had a problem. There was a beehive, but no way to find it. So what did the tech-savvy researchers do? They build an app to spot the hive. How? Every time you see a bumblebee, align your phone with…
