Meditative Art (FCF)
To practice free creative flow, begin by acknowledging personal barriers to your daily flow like depression and anxiety, conflicts. This art, deeply rooted in ancient traditions like Zen and Chinese arts, emphasizes “flowing from emptiness” and the beauty of stillness.

Endless Observation
Observation captures a profound truth: both the beginning and the end are rooted in non-existence. Between them lies fleeting experience. Thus arises a contemplation: Who observes? The transient experience, or the eternal void that preludes a start and embodies an end?

Is Now Real?
The present moment feels tangible, yet elusive. Anything beyond it seems like an abstract idea, perhaps even unreal. The challenge lies in truly embracing and understanding the ‘now’. While future concepts might be mere illusions, the essence and depth of the current moment demand a closer look. The real inquiry is: How deeply can we…

Reality: Imagined or Unknown?
Distinguishing between “imagined” (created by the mind) and “real” (untouched by the mind), the text probes our perceptions and the nature of questioning. It suggests that even our deepest inquiries might stem from imagination. The essence of the challenge is recognizing questions unformed by the mind, implying they exist within the realm of the unknown.

Meditate? The Gap
Engaging in an action without intention, such as sitting just to sit or walking to walk, hints at the profound depth of meditation. Gaps, perceived differences between reality and our thoughts, become less defined. This state embodies the essence of meditation, where there’s no purpose or direction, boundaries fade, inviting an open-ended exploration of the…

I am so, and I don’t know
When the question ‘Who are you?’ breaks through life’s noise, it reveals a profound truth: we are, simply and undeniably, as we are. As we grapple with labels and memories to describe ourselves, we drift from the undeniable fact of our being. The essence of who we truly are remains unimagined, undescribed, and unnamed—anchored in…

Beyond the act of words
Words, often perceived as passive, shape our understanding of inner freedom. As terms like “absolute truth” and “God” transform from mysteries to defined meanings, they act as barriers. True exploration may require looking beyond words and admitting the unknown, challenging the boundaries they create.

Life without thoughts
Can life exist without thoughts? This age-old question, wrapped in endless strings of thoughts, remains unanswered. Wherever we are, thoughts accompany us, raising questions about a thoughtless existence. To genuinely explore this, we must move beyond mere thinking, and dive into the very fabric of our being, where thoughts and self might just be intertwined.

You can NOT be free
The ‘Me’ cannot be free. Dive into this absolute statement and understand that true freedom may not be linked to our identity. Is it possible to find liberty from ourselves? It’s not about skills, but a deep, sincere introspection. Look within, beyond hopes and preconceptions. What is real freedom? It’s a question that opens up…

Rediscovering Stillness
Eight years ago, I happened to meet the transformative power of stillness. When I stood still, my perspective changed, not in dramatic or absolute ways, but in subtle internal shifts. This wasn’t about physical sensations or emotions but a deeper awareness. It became a starting point for a new phase of direct observation and understanding.

Inviting Yourself into the Timeless Moment
Step outside, guided by inner calls. Even a swaying grass blade holds the universe’s essence. Walk, observe, and capture without chasing perfection. In simplicity lies profound beauty. It’s not about the destination, but the journey and moments. Experience it. See for yourself.

Living Without Knowing
In the pursuit of understanding, we’re often bound by words and labels. Yet, what if our true essence is discovered in the spaces between knowledge? Envision a realm where definitions blur, and past recollections dim. Who emerges in that space? There’s a transformative power in embracing the unknown, allowing us to deeply connect with life’s…

Inquiry – What is Truly Sacred to You, in Your Life Now?
Inquiry – What is Truly Sacred? You, in Your Life Now. Between the question that is asked and the answer that may come, what is this gap? Is there that which is truly, unconditionally sacred in your life now? You better not know. You better ask within yourself, beyond the words, with a flame that…

The Illusion of Layers
What is real? This is an inquiry deeply linked with understanding life’s energy flow. Identifying the unreal may guide us: thinking is real, thoughts are not; imagination is real, the images it creates are not; you are real, but your image is not. The real has no identity, shape, or description—it’s life as it happens…

Self reflection
You sit, that’s all you know. That which passes through your mind, usually known as thoughts, imagination – that, you do not know. It knows itself as a projection, as imagination, as thinking. There is nothing else beyond that to know. To understand the nature of the inner movement of oneself, not the expression of…

Understanding of self, usually partial, is constantly under scrutiny, bounded by our limited knowledge. The challenge lies in acknowledging our limitations, questioning them, and allowing the free creative flow to guide us. This turns self-discovery into a journey towards infinite potential, embracing life’s endless possibilities.
