    Ignorance is darkness. Seeing clearly is enlightenment.

    But ignorance does not want to see clearly.

    It is afraid to be exposed as being wrong.

    So it doubles down and it barricades itself.

    Ignorance is barricading itself behind strong opinions. And consequently behind strong emotions.

    You will therefore most likely encounter strong emotions during this talk.

  • The Simple Secret to Sharing Peace (It's Harder Than You Think)

    Why is it so difficult to share a message that is all about peace? All about love?

    One should imagine that that is exactly what people are longing for.

    And if you ask them, they will probably say, yes, I am longing for peace and I am longing for love.

    But if that is the case, why is it so difficult to share a message like the one that I am sharing?

    The answer to that question is surprisingly simple.

    But even though that it is surprisingly simple, it is in the same way exceptionally difficult to do anything about.

  • Conflicts - And How We Finally Can End Them All

    There is one—and only one—fundamental reason for the madness that humanity continues to manifest. This may come as a surprise to many, but if you stay with me, I will explain why this is so. Before doing so, however, I must emphasize an important truth: the fact that there is ultimately a single root cause of war and chaos means that any attempt to address these issues without tackling this core problem will only lead to the continued perpetuation of madness. Efforts to fix symptoms while ignoring the root will never bring true resolution.

    We must also recognize that the self-absorption and self-centeredness of the human ego are deeply ingrained. The ego resists change and clings to its patterns, making transformation difficult. Because of this, we cannot afford to wait for others to change—we must take responsibility for change ourselves. Expecting the world to shift while remaining the same ourselves is an illusion. If we want to see a different world, we must embody that change in our own lives.

    Living the change we wish to see means making a deep and unwavering commitment to ending conflict within ourselves. Every external war is a reflection of the unresolved battles within individual hearts and minds. If we are unwilling to confront our own inner turmoil, we will inevitably contribute to the collective madness. True transformation begins with each of us. Only when we commit to inner peace can we hope to create a world free from division and destruction.

    What is the true nature of thoughts? Let's dive into that question.

    What do we mean by thoughts? Well, in this context, thoughts equals conceptual thinking.

    Thinking in words.Thinking in language. The self-talk. The internal narrative.

    What is the true nature of that?

    Before I dive into that, you might have a question. “Are there other kinds of thinking tha…

  • Searching for a deeper understanding of reality

    They read books, follow spiritual teachings, and meditate, hoping for a revelation. Yet, despite their efforts, they often feel as though the Truth remains just out of reach. Why does this happen?

    The fundamental issue lies not in the absence of Truth, but in the very act of searching itself. The belief that Truth is something to be found implies that it is distant, separate from the seeker. However, Truth is not an object or a place—it is the very nature of existence, ever-present and inseparable from one’s own being.

    One might ask, “If Truth is already here, why don’t I see it?” The answer is that layers of conditioning, conceptual thinking, and mental constructs create the illusion of separation. These mental barriers obscure the realization that Truth is not something external but an intrinsic aspect of reality.

    Rather than seeking outwardly, the key is to examine what prevents this realization. What thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions reinforce the sense of separation? By recognizing and questioning these mental constructs, one can begin to dissolve the illusion that Truth is hidden.

  • Are We Born Good? The Ultimate Moral Question
    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit awakeable.substack.com

    The source of all evil is ignorance. Ignorance about what it really means to be a human being.

    And as long as that ignorance exists. The human being will fight itself. Fight each other.

    When the human being awakens to its own true nature. All evil falls away.

    So the human being is not inherently evil.

    Evil is a result of the perceived separation. Of the id…

  • The Difference between Wisdom and Myths

    This sharing is unlike anything else you might encounter in everyday life. It is not a teaching, for there is not as such anything to teach, rather it could be called an un-teaching.

    Let me try to explain.

    Human societies and cultures are very different across the globe, but they all have one thing in common. They are built upon belief systems or what also could be called myths.

    This means that they at their core are founded upon a mythology, and that each culture now views everything through their individual cultural myths or belief systems.

    I am not saying that this as such is a bad thing, I am just simply saying that that is what has happened and that is what in general still is happening.

    It has been a way to try to understand life, existence and the Universe.

    Where the potential danger lies, is that all of these myths are now so ingrained into each culture, that most don’t really appreciate how much of their worldview is based upon these belief systems.

    In other words, to a very large degree if not fully, all cultures are now existing within a bubble of belief systems. And from within each of these bubbles, no one is aware that this is what has happened.

    Each culture now looks out of their own bubble, and unto other bubbles of ideas, and everybody is deeming the other ones to be the ignorants.

  • The Awakening Impulse - A Possibility for Humanity

    What if evolution isn’t something that happens independent of us

    What if it is something that is unfolding within us and as us right now?

    The AwakeAble podcast explores that very possibility.

    It is not just about an idea; it is about that very evolutionary impulse—one that is moving through all of existence and, in the eye of this podcast crucially, through and as us human beings.

    This Podcast is a part of my introductory series. Please listen to them all, if you haven’t already done so.
