Life evolves like an ascending spring. Viewed from the side, it
reveals its upward spiral while the top view reveals a cyclical
continuation. Both ends vanish into the horizon without any
end or beginning. They are points that are relative to and only
limited by the scale of the observer.

Where do our feelings and thoughts arise, appear, and vanish?
There must be something that is not in movement in order to
become aware of these states.
We experience time (i.e., past, present, and future) but how is
it possible that we can become aware of these if we are a part
of them (i.e., the observer would [...]

We think we are. Where am I while sound asleep?
We are only our thoughts, but who thinks us?
I am either sound asleep (i.e., unconscious), dreaming, or awake. When am I?

The world we know exists only in our mind. It is real for us,
but it is not to be found elsewhere. We are dependent on our
sensations coming from our five main doors (i.e., sight, hear-
ing, smell, taste, touch). The world for us is constructed ulti-
mately in our mind. For example, colors do not exist in [...]

We are conservative by nature. We tend to enclose ourselves.
Some of the fences we build are physical and more tangible,
while others are more abstract. We want to protect ourselves
from the outside world and its renewal.
External fences are easier to conceive. They have many
faces, from muscle building to creating physical security
measures, all the way [...]

Within a shelter,
Covered in a case,
Limited by boundaries,
Extended by nature.
Trapped in the illusion,
Bewildered at times,
Lacking the courage,
Bravery, and persistence,
Of final breakthrough,
Transcending for the unknown.
The common is the bliss,
Misery, and sadness,
Of known and accepted,
Which horrific would be to lose,
And be replaced by something new.
To stretch the limits,
Ignore the lines,
Forget the [...]

Life is breathing. It has three different phases—inhalation,
short pause, and exhalation. Internal and external action—
visible and invisible. Active and passive.
Breathing is living. Its intensity varies with scale. Some
breathe faster than others—their perceptions and realizations
are relative to their tempo. Small beings (e.g., cells) have dif-
ferent breathing cycles than large beings (with larger mass),
such as humans, [...]

In our language death means the opposite of living. Being
alive is to live, create, explore, and experience. Death is some-
thing where nothing is moving and everything stays still, a
total freeze or a complete stop. It is something where nothing
new is developed nor does anything change; death is simply a
state where nothing is created anymore.

Our life can be compared to a project. Projects have a begin-
ning and an end. Its definition states that it is not perma-
nent—it has a definitive life span. It starts, goes on, and ends.
A project has no purpose itself—it is only the means for
something. It has a purpose and it is used as the vehicle, [...]
