With silence increasingly becoming a stranger to us, one man set out to become its intimate: Pablo d'Ors, a Catholic priest whose life was changed by Zen meditation. With disarming honesty and directness, as well as a striking clarity of language, d'Ors shares his struggles as a beginning meditator: the tedium, restlessness, and distraction. But, persevering, the author discovers not only a deep peace and understanding of his true nature, but also that silence, rather than being a retreat from life, offers us an intense engagement with life just as it is.

This book, more or less, demonstrates that time is most likely an illusion, its speed depends on age, and from a physical point of view, time, as such, may not make sense. Why should all this matter to us? Just as people suffered and died, they will continue to suffer and die. I have nothing to say to that. It’s true. And nothing can be done about it.

"Von Natur aus wollen wir immer mehr wissen und immer weiter lernen. Unser Wissen über die Welt wächst. Uns treibt der Drang nach Erkenntnis und lernend stoßen wir an Grenzen. In den tiefsten Tiefen des Raumgewebes, im Ursprung des Kosmos, im Wesen der Zeit, im Schicksal der Schwarzen Löcher und im Funktionieren unseres eigenen Denkens. Hier, an den Grenzen unseres Wissens, wo sich das Meer unseres Nichtwissens vor uns auftut, leuchten das Geheimnis der Welt, die Schönheit der Welt, und es verschlägt uns den Atem.", schreibt Carlo Rovelli.

Existen poderes humanos que, debido al misterio que los envuelven, han sido poco explorados por el hombre, quedando en el olvido o siendo aprovechados por un grupo muy selecto. La mente y sus múltiples manifestaciones son capaces de lograr cosas inimaginables.

The Absent Qualia Thought Experiment by Paul Kell explores one of the most unsettling questions in philosophy: can a being act fully conscious yet feel nothing inside? This puzzle, known as the absent qualia problem, challenges our understanding of mind, science, and identity. At its heart is the idea of the “hollow machine,” a being that smiles, speaks, and remembers but lacks the inner glow of experience. The question forces us to confront whether consciousness can ever be reduced to function alone or if something vital is missing.

After six hours of full-moon meditation inside the Egyptian pyramids and a two-hour activation session with a mysterious lightworker from Brazil, I was blasted open. For the next month, I woke up every morning and channeled messages into my journal, eyes closed most of the time, my hand literally moving faster than my brain could keep up. There were no edits made, just a full free-flowing download from who-knows-where. I thought it was cool. My friends thought it was profound. What became absolutely clear was that it was supposed to be available for anyone ready to receive it.

Does science have all the answers? Can it even deal with abstract reasoning that reaches beyond the world experienced by us? How can we be so sure that the physical world is sufficiently ordered to be intelligible to humans? How is it that mathematics, a product of human minds, can unlock the secrets of the physical universe? Are all such questions to be ruled out as inadmissible if science cannot settle them? Metaphysics has traditionally been understood as reasoning beyond the reach of science, sometimes even claiming realities that are beyond its grasp.

Un philosophe chrétien et un sage chinois se défient dans un échange serré où s’éprouvent raison, foi et cosmologie. D’un pas sûr, l’un invoque l’efficacité d’une volonté toute-puissante; l’autre presse l’idée d’une étendue éternelle. Idées et corps, modèles et existences, nécessité et contingence: chaque notion est sondée jusqu’à sa source. Cette joute du Grand Siècle, sobre et lumineuse, ouvre une porte sur le monde intelligible autant que sur les limites de nos perceptions.
