The Unfolding of Truth – 10: Conclusion – The Fulfillment of the Journey
A Journey Through Thought This has been a journey through the history of thought; not as a museum of ideas, but as the necessary unfolding of a single drama: the contradiction between Being and becoming. From Parmenides, who first glimpsed the immovable truth, to Plato, who gave structure to its reflection in the world of…

Beyond Paths, Beyond Goals — The Joy That Always Already Is Across the millennia, religion has been the most enduring expression of humanity’s longing for the infinite.

The Final Non-Duality 5 – Why Every Path Is Necessary and Yet Must Be Surpassed
The Longing for Being and the Inevitability of Its Recognition To one who has deeply entered the history of spiritual traditions, it may seem impossible that so many sincere seekers, mystics, and teachers — across millennia, cultures, and languages — could be mistaken. And in fact, they are not. Each tradition, from the earliest shamanic…

The Unclouded Sun – The Ground of Joy and Love In moments of deep presence, there is often a subtle yet undeniable sense of joy and love—not the shifting emotions we commonly associate with these words, but something deeper, quieter, and more fundamental.

I Am – 2: The Divided Mind – Thought, Perception, and the Illusion of Fragmentation
The Split Between Awareness and Thought The recognition of “I Am” as the unshakable ground of Being is foundational. Yet, despite its immediacy, this recognition is often obscured by the incessant movement of conditioned thought. Why does the mind veil what is most evident? The tendency of thought to divide experience into subject and object,…

Identity 3: The Inevitable Resolution – From Fragmentation to the Recognition of Identity
In the previous articles, we explored identity as necessary (unchangeable and eternally true—it simply is) and eternal, hidden by cultural pressures, nihilism, and fragmentation. We examined how contemporary society’s emphasis on becoming, technological influences, nihilistic tendencies, and social isolation contribute to the division of the self. Now, we turn to the resolution of this fragmentation.…

Suffering & Joy 2: The Tragic Pursuit of a World Without Suffering
Humanity has always sought to escape suffering. From personal struggles to grand ideological movements, the drive to eliminate pain, contradiction, and hardship has shaped history. Yet these efforts, particularly when undertaken on a grand scale, have not only failed but often resulted in greater suffering. Why? Because suffering is not a flaw in existence but…

Mind & Heart – 9: Thought and Feeling in the Paradigm of Becoming
The Modern Fragmentation of Mind and Heart In contemporary discourse, reason and emotion are often seen as opposing forces—one cold and calculating, the other passionate and irrational. This division runs deep in philosophy, psychology, and daily life, leading individuals to either suppress emotions in favor of logic or reject reason in pursuit of authenticity. But…

The Necessity of Contradiction: Understanding Suffering Through the Structure of Being
Introduction: The Question That Remains The series From Contradiction to Joy explored how the recognition of Being dissolves the illusion of suffering and reveals the necessity of joy and glory.

From Contradiction to Joy – Article 5: The Inevitable Recognition: Toward the Fulfillment of Thought
The Unavoidable Necessity of Recognition The path we have traced—from the fundamental contradiction of nihilism to the infinite resolution of Being, from the dissolution of the tragic view to the fullness of glory—reveals a singular truth: recognition of Being is not a matter of belief or interpretation but the inevitable unveiling of what has always…

From Contradiction to Joy – Article 4: Glory and the Fullness of Being
The resolution of contraddizione C is not merely the elimination of error or the overcoming of a mistaken worldview. It is the inevitable unveiling of the fullness of Being—an appearing that cannot be reduced to intellectual recognition alone but necessarily manifests as what Severino calls glory. But what is glory in this context, and why…

From Contradiction to Joy – Article 3: The Joy of the Necessary: Overcoming the Tragic View
Introduction The history of human thought has been deeply marked by the tragic view of existence—the belief that suffering, loss, and conflict are inherent and inescapable aspects of reality. From Greek tragedy to existential philosophy, the idea that life is bound to struggle and ultimate dissolution has shaped much of our understanding of human fate.…

From Contradiction to Joy – Article 2: The Infinite Resolution: The Unfolding of Necessity
Introduction If contraddizione C necessarily resolves, does this mean the resolution is a finite event—a final moment in which contradiction is overcome? Or is it something that unfolds without end? The key to understanding this lies in the nature of Being itself. The resolution of contraddizione C is not an event in time but the…

From Contradiction to Joy – Article 1: Contraddizione C and the Necessity of Resolution
Introduction The history of Western thought has been shaped by a fundamental contradiction—the assumption that being can become non-being and vice versa. This contradiction, which Emanuele Severino terms contraddizione C, underlies the metaphysical illusion of becoming. If left unresolved, it leads to nihilism, fragmentation, and the perpetual instability of knowledge. Yet, the necessity of Being…

The Unfolding of Identity – Article 3: The Inevitable Resolution: Identity in the New Paradigm
Throughout this series, we have seen how the fragmentation of identity was not an accidental failure but a necessary contradiction appearing within time. The crisis of identity in the modern world—the collapse of stable reference points, the relativization of selfhood, and the apparent dissolution of boundaries—is not the destruction of identity but a moment in…

Post 52 – The Eternal Resolution of Wrongs: Trauma, Forgiveness, and the Structure of Being
Suffering, whether born from perceived injustices, personal trauma, or the wounds inflicted and received in relationships, occupies a central place in the human condition. Throughout life, individuals struggle with burdens—the memories of harm, feelings of resentment, and the psychological weight of victimhood. While religion and psychology offer ways of addressing these issues, their most profound…

Understanding the Structure of Being – 6
The Misunderstanding of Nothingness: The Root of All Confusion At the foundation of nearly every misconception about reality—about time, causality, free will, and even meaning itself—lies a single, pervasive error: the belief in nothingness. The very idea that things can “come into being” or “cease to exist” is inseparable from the assumption that there is…
