Hey guys, we're a fun-loving couple and ambitious business-owners at www.FractalFashionPhoto.com where she is the photographer/editor and I'm the manager & model agent.

We can no longer host during our 3 years of upcoming travel through Australia/New Zeeland/Asia. In case of emergency, contact us and I may arrange for a place at my parents or friends back in Sweden.

Our hobby photography & various projects can be found at

Science & harmony is my passion, essence and life-force. thus I share with you my personal views through a poem!
If you're in a hurry or tired of couchbrowsing the essentials can be found among the other topics below :)

Lately I've decided to travel the globe to broaden my cosmic perspective. I'm passionate in my work whatever it may be; from perpetuating balance within this ever-expanding family tree, to the pursuit of happiness in documenting life by means of poetry.

In this united verse, this cosmic symphony, where good & bad are but illusory.
See; In the pursuit of destiny the middle ground is, always has been, and always will be: Balance.
Without initial action there is no reaction. Once disrupted the universe itself step in to restore the balance through passage of time.

Hence a seemingly ever-perpetuating battle between 'good and evil'; two sides of the same coin ever revolving around it's own axis, duking it out drawing power from karmic tolls and taxes.

When all is said and done at the end of the day, nothing is changed. With balance regained and the sum of energy drawn upon remain unchanged.
It's rather a matter of direction, for by physical means we are but a reflection of trends, it's easy to lose oneself in the successive chain of events.

Take for instance the justification of crime, you work as the hands of karma to restore balance through an eye for an eye, in every instance, in every aspect of every time.

take all into consideration, climb mount wisdoom until you reach the brink of insanity, sneak a peak from above, and you shall see this tug o' war for what it truly is; the one focal point, the residence of balance isn't difficult to define.
The cause of battle becomes easy to derive; it's merely a trivial consequence of our animalistic drives.

- The pain that we cause is the cause of our pain. -
- The love the we give is the love that we gain -

Furthermore
'Existence' is latin for 'to be seperate from [the whole]'; thus the isolation inherent in each of us produce opposites through hate and love; the duality of Yin & Yan perpetuated still as stated above.

While
'Individual' is Latin for 'indivisible from [the whole]';
in the bigger picture we're all individuals. Existence is therefore but an illusion, where the mind produce boundaries between iself and others in order to itself exist to begin with.

Heed the fact that there's no end point nor a beginning, no biggest nor smallest, no definitive right nor wrong; everything work only in relationship to something else, as the word fundamentally mediate, everything is related in one way or another:
All is one, and one is all.

Where does a circle begin or end? That's as much a silly question as were does the earth begin or end? it all depends on what you compare with.

escape hatred through understanding and embrace love, for what is the point of being angry? sure it is only natural but at the same time we don't 'need' to do anything, the cosmos will inevitably sort things out through karma.
Even our fundamental intention to a subject or person is changed, reflected, even projected back to the aggressor while the same thing applies to love, it is all one big whole: Two sides, of the same coin.

Ultimately then, there is but One Love,
Mike.

PHILOSOPHY

No one can know everything, through this we are fundamentally separated. This to me becomes the very beauty of living; there are no definites, there are no 'true' values, everything we perceive is but a temporary glimpse of the whole, which is forever changing; always working in relatives.

no beginnings nor endings, not highest nor lowest, no good nor evil.

Only in relation to each other, is there difference.
Only by in our mind separating something from the 'whole' do we get a 'thing'
Existance is latin for 'being separate from'

as we spend our life within a finite body we need tolerance and wisdom to survive and thrive as a species within this infinite universe, the earth is but a speck of dust in this sandbox of stars from which we were born, and this earth is a place where we can truly revel and marvel.

I'd rather stay positive and help those within my reach, than be negative because the world may at times seem to spin out of our control.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's nothing quite like living with a local / family for a time to experience the culture from within, first-hand!

Interests

I have an insatiable hunger for scientific knowledge of every field, one is all, all is one.

I would consider myself, in the old sense of the word, a natural philosopher. or even go so far as to apply the more mystical term 'alchemist' due to my openness of interests; if someone has a valid theorem it should be promptly investigated rather than dismissed on a prejudicial basis.

I love discussing with well-read folks. Thus I am always be on the lookout for students of all sciences during my travels to exchange ideas worth spreading.
