What is Death?
No one goes anywhere. There isn’t any need. It’s merely a change of state. A parallel existence, if you want to use the scientific paradigm. There is no such thing as loss. Sometimes, the way someone looses this form entails suffering. It can happen prematurely, and this isn’t good when it does, but there is…

Body Image
Here is a way to trigger/test your intuition. Consider your body. Just feel it, don’t think. Just be in your body. What is the first thing you know? No thinking. Just feel it and what do you know about your body? Barbie is inert plastic made to a silly image. Scary fiction. There is no…

Intuition and Intuitive Techniques
Intuition is an ill defined faculty. There is a lot of debate whether it is real at all. But from my own experience, intuition is what is suppose to motivate science but doesn’t anymore. There is a type of internal dialogue that isn’t really lingual, not verbal. It seems to precede the whole process of…
