Last week i must have lost my paper notebook somewhere in Ghent or on the train from Ghent to Ostend. It is a black hardcover with http://ontoscopy written on the cover and the side, and i would really appreciate to get it back.
Finder gets a fee of course!
Vorige week ben ik ergens in Gent m’n notitieboek verloren, of op de trein van Gent naar Oostende. Het is een zwart schrift met harde cover, en er staat http://ontoscopy.net op de cover en op de zijkant in witte inkt.
Ik had uiteraard graag …

Most people associate the word “creativity” solely with artists ( painters, musicians, writers, actors, … ), the “creative segment” of society. Nowadays it is  also widely used in corporate environments, politicians talk about it, schools and academic institutions pretend to promote it, and i am stating that this is a serious reduction of what creativity could be in our lives as a whole.
We barely touch upon the most valuable level of creativity, namely our basic ways of thinking and living.

Modern society and its participants have grown …

Since there have been no new meditations on this website since April, one might think that the ontoscopy project is bleeding to death. On the contrary, there is new stuff in the pipeline. I have not written anything substantial for a number of reasons, which i shall now point out.
NOTE: this post contains little practical information, so you can skip this one if you are not interested in the unfolding/developing of my ideas. And i apologize for repeating certain things, somehow i found no other way to write this one.

Krishnamurti. Since i somehow overlooked the importance of this highly underrated quantum physicist slash critical thinker in my last post, this is a little tribute. And for the last time …

For a long time, i thought of keeping the following information to myself.
After a close second look, i figured it would be better to throw it all out and get it over with, even though this may lead to some controversy and misunderstanding.
The people who are familiar with the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti clearly see a lot of similarities between his and mine, and that is not a coincidence.
The fact: reading and listening to J. Krishnamurti’s words helped me a great deal in getting insight into my own life and …

As some may know, loneliness – to feel lonely, isolated – has been a longtime hangup of mine. For more than a decade, to be precise, but that is a closed chapter now. Aloneness – to be alone – is still my main M.O., and the blues still get me from time to time.
Fortunately, i have learned quite a few things about this phenomenon, through many years of feeling, looking, writing, acting, reacting, thinking and unthinking. To spare you the time and trouble, i here present to you some observational …

Before i start getting more of these sorts of questions, let me clarify what this web log is about, why i came up with this project.
The answer is very simple: because nobody else is.
Fuck opinions, let’s stick to the facts.
This blog is both selfless and self-manifested action. I am not out for fame, money, or any other personal gain. All i do is observe and try to describe reality, i am not interested in controversy or creating more conflict. Entertainment is cool and has its place in life, but here …
