Hermetica on physics, metaphysics and purpose of humans on Earth

Fri, 01 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This is the second part on Hermetica in which I mainly focus on how Hermes explains the physics of movement of celestial bodies. He also introduces us to the idea of the mixing bowl in which we are as if separated. At last, there is a discussion of the final book in Corpus Hermeticum and that's Asclepius which deals with good and evil and a powerful prediction for Egypt.

EMF, your aura and the impact on your soul

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 20:43:45 GMT

Do you sometimes feel like you have nothing to give? Not because you are tired but because you're drained on a soul level.

You might start working on your electromagnetic field.

What is the power of your electromagnetic field? What does your soul have to with it?

Your inner life (mind, emotions, soul) and your outer energy (electromagnetic field) are deeply connected—and you can actively strengthen this connection through awareness and simple physical practices.

The cosmic serpent: How can we communicate with plants?

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 21:40:33 GMT

Reading Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby reignited in me the desire to share my thoughts and ideas about spirituality. In this increasingly material reality, I feel need to speak about what exists in between what is visible and in between life and death and in between creation and destruction.

The books mentioned in this video are:

The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby

Too Loud a solitude by Bohumil Hrabal

Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare

The Gods and Goddesses of Old Europe by Marija Gimbutas

On Liars and Cheats and "Journey to Ixtlan" by Carlos Castaneda

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 19:38:27 GMT

The book "Journey to Ixtlan" and life of Carlos Castaneda inspired in me a deep wound of being disappointed by someone not being who they pretended to be.

It send me on a deep philosophical introspective journey through writings of Joseph Campbell, Friedrich Nietzsche, Marcel Proust, David Graeber and Georges Bataille and somehow it made complete sense when put in perspective of Don Juan and Carlos Castaneda.

00:00:00 - 00:02:36 - Introduction

00:02:36 - 00:04:41 - It doesn’t feel good to be tricked

00:04:41 - 00:11:37 - Agricultural revolution, birth of morality and Nietzsche

00:11:37 - 00:15:41 - the ups and downs of learning about Journey to Ixtlan

00:15:51 - 00:21:43 - who was Carlos Castaneda

00:21:43 - 00:39:40 - “Journey to Ixtlan”

00:39:40 - 00:54:19 what it means to live outside of moral code

00:54:19 - 00:55:32 - What’s coming up for Sadhana and Books

Tao Te Ching 3/3 "How be a great leader"

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 13:00:52 GMT

Part 3 of Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu.

This is the most practical and applicable section of Tao Te Ching.

The last third of the Tao focuses and social, economic, and governing aspects of life on Earth. These truths are still highly applicable because human society has not changed a great deal. Not only do we learn about rulership but we are given a glimpse on how to live like a sage.

On Overcoming Obstacles with Sat Kirtan

Thu, 20 Apr 2023 18:48:43 GMT

Sat Kirtan had everything she could ever want. Great job, money, a great relationship, and a big house but she wasn’t happy. It was a pleasure for me to get to know Sat Kirtan, just with her presence she will embed within you a "can do anything" attitude. She is truly a master of overcoming obstacles. But she is much much more. In this interview, we talk about her unusual journey to kundalini yoga, about business and yoga, and what it means to be a conscious leader. We touch upon the numerology of this year and Sat Kirtan shares with us a meditation to overcome any obstacles.

2/3 Tao Te Ching "How do you live according to Tao?"

Mon, 03 Apr 2023 23:42:34 GMT

This is part 2 of Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu.

Tao te ching is a kind of work that does not necessarily have a beginning, middle, or end so you can hop in anywhere and receive just the right message you are looking for.

in this episode, I will take a closer look at verses 28 - 54 which probably won't mean anything to you however the main ideas that resonate strongly in these verses are so aquarian that they are revolutionary.

What is Tao, really?

What's the best weapon that all creatures fear?

How does a wise price rule?

Tao Te Ching is full of contradictions, what is it all about?

Tune in and find a message that will resonate with you today.

1/3 Tao Te Ching "What is Non-Attachment and other questions"

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 20:08:57 GMT

Tao Te Ching is the most translated book ever after the Bible. It was written roughly 2500 years ago by Lao Tzu.

In this episode, I look at the first 27 verses focusing on 3 main themes of the tao: Metaphysics, Dialectics, and Governance or practical knowledge.

Listening to the Tao Te Ching can easily serve as a mantra, a mind vibration, that helps you to release stress from overly analytical daily diatribes and instead, help you vibrate with the everlasting Tao.

I hope you enjoy the mind-opening, expansive, poetic, and contradictory world of the Tao.

This is part 1 of 3

Enjoy

In the latest episode of Bhagavad Gita, we meet Krishna's dark side. We also learn about the Royal path to yoga and most interestingly, Krishna shares the secret to immortality.

I mention two great scientists one is Robert Oppenheimer who was reminded of Krishna's words from the Bhagavad Gita at the first test of a nuclear weapon. The other scientist is Neil deGrasse Tyson who famously does not see evidence of god anywhere.
