CURRENT MISSION

Ever onwards... hit the road and off to warmer climate. Portugal we presume...

ABOUT ME

Wow ... All about us - what a ego boost!!! Well, tough one - it would be just best to meet us either by letting us host you or letting us be your guest and you would get the idea who we are or at least a little glimpse of it rather than us trying to explain the unexplainable. And since we're human beings and human beings are incomprehensible (all in good sense) I wont even try ... But after all we're probably just as weird as you are - living the life and enjoying its clear days as well as its moments of haziness. In a one sentence: We're all a one big question mark and that's exactly as it should be -?-

PHILOSOPHY

The world is your construction - so be wise while creating it.

Aham Brahmasmi (I am Brahman), ayam Atma Brahman (Atman and Brahman are the same), tat tvam asi (that's who you are), sarvam khalvidam brahma (all is truly Brahman)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well - personally I think life is not about doing, it's about being, but here's two things my ego is proud of:

Cycled 240 kilometers on one day - it took me some 18 hours in the end (from 9 am to 3 am) and for the last kilometers I just had to push the bike and hover somewhere next to my bike half-conscious...

Meditated approximately 100 hours over 10 days while learning Vipassana-technique in India. Beautiful setting and some hardcore-meditation! Still recommending it for anyone...

Teach, Learn, Share

So, did you know ... that everything is locked inside of ourselves and all we need to do is to find the key. The right key. The key that unlocks all the secrets of this strange existence of ours and opens all the doors for us to go and understand any- and everything we always wanted to know in this world. It's all there waiting for our wits to grow and reveal the secrets. Some have done it ... rest of us still searching. Journey to your mind is an endless trip. Ok, that's what I believe in. Your time to share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some top quality conversations or worse stupidity ever :) or maybe just some music theory, guitar lessons, useless opinions, tips on Faro, encyclopedia of information on all things considering India, evening with friends or quite night with knowing that everyone is a guru and understanding that we find teachers and wisdom everyday and everywhere and in the end remembering it's all very relative - you see the room from where you stand, my view of the room might be very different and it's all an illusion anyway isn't it.
