Building Ourselves

Instinctive Development There is a saying, that “one can’t pull oneself up in the air by pulling one’s own hair”. On the other hand if we want to develop in a fundamentally self-changing way, if we want to break into the truly “Human” degree from our present, instinctive”humanoid” state, we will need to pull ourselves … More Building Ourselves

In The Midst Of Chaos

Potentially Human The meaning of our life is to understand who we are, and what our role in the system of reality is.
