There are several words in our lives for which we have no precise definition, like consciousness, friendship, life, and love. Still, we know what we mean with those words. Another word for unknown knowns is instinct or intuition. No scientist can explain consciousness. In my view, our individual consciousness might well relate to a universal mind or universal...
In various blogs, I mentioned the various names of a Supreme Being, like Ahura Mazda, Allah, God, Jupiter, Odin, Shiva, Yahweh and Zeus. Recently, I wondered: if there’s just 1 God then why has God so many names?? The ultimate answer may well be in Mahatma Gandhi's message below. Scientists have never found any culture without evidence of...

People suggest that there is no third road (eg, full hybrid cars). This is an example of dualism. Why is a third road less popular? The words third road often relate to Politics. Examples:...
Last week, a friend used an unfamiliar analogy. Once you're swimming in the deep pool (c.2.60m) then the children's pool (c.25cm) is no longer relevant. The inbetween pool (c.1.50m) is just nice to cool off. There appears to be a micro to macro arrow, next to the Arrow of Time (eg, Wiki). Why is the above relevant? I've been struggling with a question: how do you...
Last Thursday, I made the drawing below. Before, I did "see" the various dots but I wasn't able to connect these dots inside my mind. The house analogy suddenly dawned upon me, last Thursday. I'm pleased to present the result. In my view, it might well be my best accomplishment so far. My concept of the 7 Belief systems (eg, 2015 original and 2019 update) is a part...
