Going Beyond!

Going Beyond! With this podcast, I want to go beyond the mainstream Machine Mind, a term one of my Buddhist teachers coined years ago. I'm still attempting to understand fully what he meant by that, and this discovery will be part of what you will find in my writings.

What is 'Machine Mind'? Machine Mind - as I understand it today - is a mind that follows the mainstream propaganda. A mind that stops thinking for itself, and is stuck in the rudimentary dualism of 'Like' and 'Dislike'. A mind that asks Google or Siri before it starts looking inside itself to search for answers within its own experiences. Machine Mind has the attention span of a fidgeting monkey and gets panic attacks when the phone dies.

The purpose of this blog is to inspire contrarian and lateral thinking - what we call in German Querdenker - to find creative solutions that can solve our personal challenges in new ways.

I don't know if what I have to share will have an impact or make a difference in the world. My wish is that some will challenge the boundaries of their way of thinking, explore new frontiers, and Go Beyond!

I believe in the fundamental human intelligence, authentic joy, compassion, and wisdom and will dedicate my efforts to the growth of these qualities.
