| The Most Intimate Universality | ||
Niihama, Japan, March 27, 2009. We all think our identities are defined by a number of characteristics we all learnt to ascribe to ourselves from an early age. Gender and ethnicity are just a basic couple of them. Then there's our own individual physical and psychological traits, our shortcomings, abilities and talents and a number of other personal identifiers of that sort. But, are those traits and characteristics really the only things we are? Could there be something else much more meaningful and durable residing beyond that obvious cluster of attributes we have all learnt to believe form our identity? |

| Who's Afraid of the Morning Star? | |
Okje Dong, South Korea, October 28, 2007. A rather entertaining view on the myth of the existence of the Devil, but with sober implications. Based on a thought I had on Friday, Oct. 19th, as I was going back home from a dinner party in my town of Okje Dong. I had had that same thought a few times in the past, but I had never sat down to elaborate on it. This time I decided to develop it a little. |

| Eternalism, Reincarnation and the Big Bang | ||
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, August 3rd, 2009. The Big Bang theory sounds like a modern version of all those Genesis-like mythological stories about the “beginning of time” that the world has been hearing since times immemorial. Regardless of how sophisticated may be the jargon they use to present it, the Big Bang theory still looks like just another well-concocted imaginative creationist tale of the Mayan, Babylonian or Egyptian sort, except that this time they have cleverly dressed it up in scientific garb. Still, regardless of whether the Big Bang theory makes sense to you or not, the question remains: why would beginning-of-time and end-of-days theories and stories be so fascinating to so many people? |
