Several friends have been asking me to start a blog on internet. At first I didn't think about it. I am an author of books, a few articles in magazines and I give lectures and workshops in many countries in Europe. I am not a blogger... But after some time I began to think about it, and now I think it is it a good idea... The social media give an opportunity to share ones thoughts with many people all over the world - and they don't have to pay, to read them...
It is the first time I write directly in English, so I fear that there will be mistakes. I'm sure the text will not be impeccable. But the necessity to have the text corrected each time would make it impossible to post the blogs in English...
I hope to show in this blog, that it is possible to find a way of thinking that releases itself of the boundaries of all-day-life that takes the venture to think the facts of life reverse, to find a kind of freedom in thinking, by forming thoughts in an original way.
We are locked up in a stream of thought that always takes the same paths, out of our doubts, anxieties, antipathies... But we can free ourselves from this stream of thoughts and find our actual human being, our existential humanity. We can find a fullness and richness of new thoughts that will fulfill the rest of our life with spontaneous and original content - that will also pass over into our actions.
Young people still have this creative thinking in a way - if they are not spoiled by education... But by going on to our thirties, we lose this creative power. We pass over into the used stream of thoughts. Of course one still can collect new content for his thoughts - but the way of thinking becomes something that has rigid forms, just as our bodies become rigid by ageing. We have to adapt to the common think-structures and we don't even notice.
So I start this blog and will try to invert, to reverse, to turn over the usual way of thinking. I don't claim truth for these thoughts. I only claim that it is possible to think facts, but combine them in another way than is usual. Possible truths emerge in that way.
As a first theme I choose the theory of evolution
