Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Committing to Family? Thursday – August 20, 2026 The issue of family, read more here , seems pressing for many people these days, and one of the defining questions of this century will surely be why people struggle to create families(?), which is a topic that I have covered in the past and that I intend to cover in the future. Now, in this part of my " Answering Readers series ", I have been asked some very important questions by one of my readers about the issue of family planning and family creation.     Before I proceed to deal with the letter and the questions at hand, I should add that I have certain rules for each of these posts, but I will return to those rules slightly later. Before that, I must add that this is the first part of this series in over two weeks, and as anyone who is following this blog, outside of this series that is, should know, I have been on a journey in the Near East, specifical...

The Ego

Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of Mahakali ( महाकाली ) sitting on a Lotus The Ego | Wednesday – August 19, 2026 E go or Egos? According to some it would be quite appropriate to refer to the egos, the many egos, unless one seeks to combine the many egos into one superego, read " Theory of Mind ". The etymology of the term ego traces back to ancient Greece, where Ego Emis ( ἐγώ εἰμι ) mean something like "I exist", and of course the latin term for it did keep the same meaning, something that puts the focus one the self, me.     Now , allowing ourselves to go back to psychology and modern spiritual confusions, modern psychology more specifically I must add, ego did also acquire a different meaning under the guise of Dr. Sigmund Freud, and according whom the ego was an integral part of the "Theory of Mind", really that it was quite possible to describe the ego as some kind of human bridge or connector between the subconscious/unconscious and primal and the rational, o...

New Jerusalem ( יהוה שָׁמָּה ) and the River of Life ( נָהָר ) Theory of Mind | Tuesday – August 18, 2026 N ew things are great, are they not? Well, that is what you are left believing in this strange place we call the world. Of course, some may argue that materialism is the cause of this wanting, but some others may argue still that wanting is an inevitable part of the human condition , that we seek out novelty while guarding ourselves against possible malign influences; really, they would suggest that we need to balance our urges with the reality that we face. And so, fear and anxiety comes to us as a warning and always urgent, but then some of us still experience fear and anxiety even when we are safe and sound.

Local Masjid ( مَسْجِد ) (Mosque) in Side, by M. C. Dutt Home – Again | Monday – August 17, 2026 H ome, sweet home... They say. Because after all, why should my home be confined? Why should my home be defined? Why should home be preordained, read " My Views on 'Neighbours' "? Am I destined or am I right where I belong? Again, a home is not merely a house or an apartment, or even the country you happen to reside in. A home is a community, a society , something that transcends time and space and individuality; a home is something that is not defined by one person alone, and something that is not dependent on the moment. Yes, in our world it is very much necessary to define a home by what it is not, by the negative, which perhaps and hopefully should be telling enough, read " Modern Civilization ".      Yes, I am now officially back from my trip in Side, Türkiye, read more about that here, and I must say that this is a good time for reflections and for commenta...
