In our modern world it seems as if natural science is completely incompatible with religion and (to a large extend) philosophy. In spite of some imaginative scientists trying to soften and modify the scientific community's view of the world as a huge machine, the general impression is that a war bet...
It seems to me that balance is a very important factor in life. Balance between the divine and the earthly. Balance between spirit, mind and body, contemplation and action, rest and activity. Balance between individual and social interests. Balance in what we eat and drink - not being fanatic and no...
For many years I have been reading a lot of spiritual books, and it is clear to me that what we call the ego in spiritual terminology is causing all the suffering in ourselves and in the world around us as well.

Scientists and people in general are discussing passionately whether the universe is a result of some kind of intelligent design or if it has evolved by itself by pure coincidence without interference from any intelligent or creative power. Hard-core fundamentalists from both sides are heavily defen...

We want to be happy, but not to feel grief - we want to feel good, but not to su...
What is reality? Our perception is based upon interactions between our five senses and signals from the universe which are then compared to billions of earlier interactions, memories and experiences. All this includes our upbringing, education and opinions from others. Also our feelings and our atti...
