Wayseeking Minds
Pointers from psychology, philosophy and Buddhism
for those looking for another way
When old ways of doing things fail us, we must adapt our course and head for new directions. In the open space of unknown possibility where no path keeps us collected, we are in danger of losing ourselves and fragmenting in doubt and conflict.
I write about how we can shed old constraints, drop into transformation, and find flow and ease in the unknown. To the everyday challenges of living and creating together, I bring insights from psychology, existential philosophy, Buddhism, and Taoism. On my blog, I will collect all my publications on various platforms and in digital magazines. Be in touch with suggestions and questions!
Conflict, Doubt & Sensemaking
Doubt and conflict question our ways of understanding and acting. Disoriented and struggling to make sense of our situation, we are tempted to cling rigidly to available explanations and trajectories. Rigidity, ultimately, makes us burn out and escalate our disagreements.
Adaptability, Mindfulness & Purpose
To be in tune with events and our life, we must respond to change, we must not get stuck in conflict and doubt, nor rigidity. Responding aptly to change requires that we be independent of that which we have so far relied upon. In other words, it demands that we be adaptable. Adaptability means resilience. It is attained with mindfulness and purpose.
The Way of Zen
Zen practice clears and opens our hearts and minds. It's about observing smoothly, thinking freely, and learning to accept and understand things as they are—in other words, it’s about mindful and adaptive sensemaking.
