Spiritual literature often celebrates light, clarity, unity, and peace. Mystics speak of luminous presence, of being carried, of the heart opening into a sense of vast coherence. Our recent papers explores this terrain, describing how, under contemplative conditions, consciousness becomes transparent to something deeper than the everyday self. But there is another side to this … Continue reading The Dark Night Paradox: When Collapse Becomes a Doorway to Light

‘In Your Consciousness I Live’: Surrender, Light, and the Birth of An Authentic Ethics
Some insights do not arise as theory. They appear as lived truth, sudden and quiet, dissolving the need for explanation. They do not come “from above,” nor are they constructed by the psychological mind. They arrive like a clarity that was always there, waiting until we were still enough to recognize it. Two such insights. … Continue reading ‘In Your Consciousness I Live’: Surrender, Light, and the Birth of An Authentic Ethics
Micro-phenomenology and Meditation: Entering the Fine Textures of Inner Experience. No blabla but experiencing!
In recent years, a quiet methodological shift has begun to influence the study of consciousness. Instead of speaking about meditation only through philosophical reflection, brain imaging, or spiritual interpretation, researchers have started to listen more carefully to experience itself.

Agape as the Radiance of Coherence: A Neurophenomenological Perspective
In the traditional Christian lexicon, Agape is often defined as unconditional, self-giving love. It is the love that "seeketh not its own." However, in the light of the ongoing dialogue in modern theology, specifically the work of Ilia Delio, and our research into the physiology of the "Phenomenal Event," we can now offer a more … Continue reading Agape as the Radiance of Coherence: A Neurophenomenological Perspective
The Physiology of Grace: A Neurophenomenological View on the Visio Beatifica
In the heart of Catholic mystical theology lies the concept of the Visio Beatifica: the "Beatific Vision." It is described as the ultimate direct perception of God, a state of supreme happiness where the soul sees the Divine Essence face-to-face. Traditionally, this transition is made possible by Grace, a supernatural gift that elevates human nature … Continue reading The Physiology of Grace: A Neurophenomenological View on the Visio Beatifica
Jeanne de Salzmann and the Inner Law of Two Movements: What The Reality of Being Really Teaches

VedicVibes Youtube Channel as a catalyst for transformation and out-of-the-box spirituality
VedicVibes: Leaving the Box of Modern Spirituality https://www.youtube.com/@Vedicvibesorg Much of what today passes for meditation, yoga, and spirituality no longer challenges anything. It soothes, reassures, and confirms. Techniques are packaged, experiences are explained in advance, and inner life is framed in ready-made narratives.

There Is No Going Inside: stop New Age Misleading Language!
Go Inside. Go Inside. Feel inside. Etc. Noooo! There Is Only Watching What Is Rising! Much of contemporary meditation rests on a subtle but decisive mistake. People are told to go inside, to turn inward, to enter the body, or to descend into deeper layers of experience. This language sounds innocent, but it quietly introduces … Continue reading There Is No Going Inside: stop New Age Misleading Language!
With Chinese Inner Alchemy we can avoid New Age Fantasies
New age fantasies are penetrating the entire western meditative world. I am sick of it. It leads people totally astray. Anyone who works seriously with inner sensing, inner light, or subtle bodily regulation will eventually encounter the same problem: as soon as experience becomes subtle, people start to inflate it with stories. Lights turn into … Continue reading With Chinese Inner Alchemy we can avoid New Age Fantasies
