		<title>Lost paper notebook &#8211; verloren notitieboek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;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 ...]]></description>

		<title>The art of contexting, part 1: The Context</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this 8-part series of articles i shall introduce an inherent aspect of our mindbody functioning that is being largely overlooked and taken for granted.
It may sound so simple and obvious at first what i am about to explicate, but it is very profound and subtle, and to my knowing it has never been addressed this way. Interestingly, it is not a complex theory that introduces a whole range of new concepts. Instead, it is more of a paradigm shift, a perspective on perspectives, a theory on theories, that makes ...]]></description>

		<title>Creativity of being</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people associate the word &#8220;creativity&#8221; solely with artists (  painters, musicians, writers, actors, &#8230; ), the &#8220;creative segment&#8221; 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 ...]]></description>

		<title>A necessary silence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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.

		<title>The mystery of insight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are still a lot of common concepts that science cannot properly explain up to this day. &#8220;Time&#8221; and &#8220;consciousness&#8221; are perhaps the most intriguing, and i doubt if we&#8217;ll ever get to fully explain them. At the same time i also feel that it does not matter that much, because i don&#8217;t think an explanation would radically affect our way of living and thinking. The same can be said about the concept of &#8220;insight&#8221;, something we all have experienced but which is rarely explicitly addressed. Yet it is extremely ...]]></description>

		<title>You are your thoughts!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some comments on a couple of popular slogans within contemporary spiritual circles, namely the ideas that &#8220;you are not your thoughts&#8221;, that &#8220;identification with form is wrong&#8221;, and that &#8220;all thinking is evil&#8221;. There might be differences in interpreting these words, but something is implicitly missing or not quite right with these statements.
In contrast to many others, i refuse to speak about life in absolute terms because we are all living in the relative world, and because i do not believe that any human being is able to ...]]></description>

		<title>The neglected case of David Bohm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the past century, a relatively small number of highly insightful books have been published among the gigantic piles of senseless information and other bullshit. One of the most comprehensive texts is without a doubt &#8220;Thought as a System&#8221;, by David Bohm,  which brings together his theories of wholeness &#38; implicate order and the essence of his dialogues with J. 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 ...]]></description>

		<title>Krishnamurti vs. me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;s words helped me a great deal in getting insight into my own life and ...]]></description>

		<title>The resistance to change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People complain, people want change, and in the end, does it ever change? Does existence on this planet really change for the better, apart from the technological and medical progress? Have we ever evolved psychologically? Do we have more happy, fulfilling lives than a few millennia ago? Are we actually more depressed than ever before, or is it simply the fate of mankind to live in misery? Do we learn from our history, or do we use it to justify the same mistakes over and over again? Is it impossible ...]]></description>
