 See the world through the eyes of a poet.




What was surprising today?


What moved you or impressed you today?


What inspired me today?

Spiritual awakening is seeing the world from a new angle. We want a new life, we long for a new place, but first, we need new eyes. Ideas protect us, but they deprive us of much, above all, of wonder. You stop looking at the people and things in front of you attentively, you stop being surprised and not impressed. Only a rational headworks and an intuitive heart stops functioning.



If the world loses its light at some point, you should look at it through the eyes of a poet.


The criterion for determining wealth in life is 'how much you felt and moved and lived'. André Gide says that a poet can be moved by ordinary plum fruits.


​


A truly rich person is a person who marvels at a grass insect, a flower, a sunset, and even trivial joys and achievements. When we are touched, we are purified, happy, and divine. And you have to be inspired to inspire.


To spread fire to the hearts of others, you must first burn your own hearts.


The poorest person is the one whose inner fire has been extinguished.

What was surprising today?


What moved you or made a ripple in your heart?

Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity.

 Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity. ​ ​ ​ Each age has its own disease. For example, there is an era that can be said to be bacterial. But this era came to an end, at least with the invention of antibiotics. The beginning of the 21st century can be defined pathologically as neither bacterial nor viral, but rather neurotic. It is an infarct disease, not a contagious disease, and it is a disease caused by an excess of positivity, not the negativity of the immunological other. Therefore, it is by no means governed by immunological techniques aimed at defeating the negativity of others. ​ The last century was the immunological age. In other words, it was an era in which clear boundaries were drawn between the inside and the outside, friends and enemies, and me and others. The essence of immunological behavior is aggression and defense. There is a certain blindness in the essence of these immunological devices that have taken over the entire society from the...

The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana.

 The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana. "The observer is the source of all things. Without the observer nothing exists. The observer is the basis of all knowledge. The basis of all claims concerning man himself, the world and the universe. The extinction of the observer is the It will mean an end and annihilation, for there will be no one left to perceive, speak, describe or explain." - <<From Being to Doing>> Maturana ​ Someone is watching something. Marurana says this is a fundamental starting point. The person develops a world of his own as he sees it as an observer. If the other person exists as an observer, then the other person's world exists, and as an observer, the world that that person sees also exists. ​ The philosopher Nietzsche, before Maturana, described this as perspectives. If the term perspectives is difficult to describe, you can borrow the term from Maturana and call it 'observers. ​ ​ Snakes are creatures of a different world from human...

active reading.

 active reading. We know more about the world than we used to, and you may still think that knowledge is essential to understanding something. But knowledge is no longer as essential for understanding as one-sided thinking. You don't have to 'know' everything about something to 'understand' it. Too much information can actually be an obstacle to understanding something. The present age is overflowing with facts that prevent us from understanding the correct appearance of things due to a lot of information. ​ One of the most active projects of some of the best intellectuals today is to unite views from an intellectual standpoint. Through the Internet, television, radio, and magazines, people are provided with well-organized resources, from clever persuasion to carefully curated information and statistics, to make 'decisions' with little effort. But with effective packaging, viewers, listeners, and readers are sometimes unable to make their own decisions. As i...
