Resting in Truth – The Joy and Peace of Being Building upon our exploration of the immediate encounter with truth, this article delves deeper into the experience of resting in that truth.

Beyond Left and Right – Article 10: The Eternal City – Towards a Civilization Aligned with the Structure of Being
Western civilization, having undergone profound crises of meaning, has long been caught in the oscillation between competing ideologies—none of which have been able to provide a stable foundation. The failure of both progressive deconstructionism and reactionary restorationism points to a deeper issue: the absence of a necessary and indestructible foundation upon which civilization can rest.…

Beyond Left and Right – Article 6: The Role of Ethics and Law in the Recognition of the Structure of Being
The recognition of the eternal Structure of Being carries profound implications for human ethics and law. If Being is necessary and indestructible, then morality and justice cannot be arbitrary constructs shaped by historical contingencies or subjective preferences. Rather, they must be understood as necessary expressions of the eternal order. In this article, we explore how…

Post 58 – Beyond Method: Science and the Structure of Being
The preceding exploration of philosophy, mysticism, theology, and near-death experiences (NDEs) examined how different paths attempt to unveil truth. Each of these approaches, despite their differences, ultimately gestures toward the same reality: the immediate, self-evident appearing of truth. What remained unaddressed, however, is the role of science in this interplay. If science, too, seeks to…

Post 57 – Beyond Thought: The Structure of Being and the Convergence of Paths
The preceding discussion on philosophy, mysticism, theology, and near-death experiences (NDEs) illuminated a fundamental tension: truth is immediate, yet language and thought often obscure rather than reveal it. If philosophy does not construct truth but removes the obstructions to its appearing, and if religious, mystical, and experiential insights testify to the same immediacy, then a…

Post 56 – Beyond Words: Direct Seeing, Philosophy, and the Limits of Language
Human beings have long wrestled with the relationship between truth and language. Is truth something we discover through reasoning, or is it something immediate, beyond the grasp of conceptual thought? Philosopher Emanuele Severino argues that truth cannot be reached from untruth—reasoning alone does not produce it, because we are always already within it, even if…

Near Death Experiences 6:The Role of Fear, Euphoria, and Subjective States
Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) are often categorized based on emotional tone—most describe feelings of overwhelming peace and euphoria, while some recount fear, distress, or even nightmarish visions. This has led many to interpret NDEs in moral or religious terms, as either a foretaste of reward and punishment or as a reflection of the individual’s psychological state.…

Near Death Experiences 3:Language and the Impossibility of Describing the Eternal
A striking feature of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) is the recurring claim that they are “beyond words.” Many who undergo NDEs struggle to articulate what they have seen, felt, or understood, often resorting to paradoxes: It was more real than reality. I experienced everything at once, but it wasn’t time as we know it. The light…

Post 37 – The Necessary Unfolding of Truth in a Lifetime
Introduction Within the Structure of Being, as understood in Emanuele Severino’s thought, life is not a journey of becoming but the appearing of an eternal necessity. Every moment of existence, every experience of time, is an expression of the immutable truth of Being. What appears as the unfolding of a lifetime is not a transition…

Post 22 – The Nature of Truth
Truth is fundamentally linked to eternity and the necessary being of all things. Every being, whether a thought, an object, a person, or a moment, is eternal, never truly coming into being or ceasing to exist. Yet, humans live under the illusion of becoming, mistakenly believing that things are born, change, and perish. This illusion,…

Post 5 – A Truth That Cannot Be Shaken
Two Selves in One We are always within the Truth. We embody our true being, yet in time, we perceive it only in fragments—one fleeting moment at a time. This fractured perception obscures the whole. Unconsciously, we know the Truth because we are it; however, consciously, we perceive only its fleeting fragments: the present moment.…
