I hold a MA in philosophy, and a minor in psychology. I have practised yoga and meditation since 1985, and during this period I have developed the concept of Meditation as an Art of Life.
Today I travel through life as a philosophical globetrotter and lifeartist. I earn my living as an author, philosophical counselor and careworker.

I also consider myself as a paranormal investigator, which is my main area of work today. My method is neither based on science, nor occultism/religion, but on philosophical counseling. Philosophical counseling is also what makes my method quite special within the area. Besides this I also travel around alone, investigating paranormal phenomena all over the world.
I am supporting true skepticism within science, but my work is, as mentioned, not itself building on science, but on philosophy. You could also call me a philosophical paranormal investigator.
As a philosophical paranormal investigator I am using critical thinking, but I am not a scientific investigator, who has to follow the precepts of conventional scientific skepticism. This is due to, that I have experienced spiritual crises (the awakening of kundalini) and paranormal phenomena (therefore I can´ t be agnostic), but I am at the same time highly critical towards how to describe and behave in relation to such phenomena. Spiritual crises are another central issue in my work.
My main goal is to explore strange beliefs, amusing deceptions, and dangerous delusions, today especially manifested in what I call The Matrix Conspiracy. The Matrix Conspiracy is a term used about the outbreak of a culture of self-assertion, where the classical deadly sins have been turned into virtues. It is a culture of personal development (Management theory, New Age, Nonviolent Communication, Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), the Law of Attraction), which is creating a “me-me-me-and-then-perhaps-you-if-it-serves-me-logic”, and a spirituality, where the object of worship is the ego. It is a culture, where everything is psychologized, emotionalized and therapized, so that political incitation and social responsibility are removed by disguising social problems as personal problems. It is a culture where moral values only are based on what feels good. It is a culture of suspicion, that denies and renounce what people think, and the reasons they produce, in order to find the “real” reasons. It is a culture, where debate is about playing down or directly offending other people. It is a culture, where science and critical thinking have been replaced by magical thinking (you can create yourself and the world as it fit you).
But it is also a culture (though it on the surface sounds individualistic), which is about to develop into a global, totalitarian meritocracy, where psychology is controlling people down to the smallest details. This might happen when Western Consumer Capitalism and Chinese Communism in all probability will melt together.
I claim, that the rebellion against this ideology must be philosophy. We must become philosophical rebels and spiritual anarchists, who not are afraid of for exampel practising loafing and civil disobedience; or said differently: who not are afraid of rejecting psychology in order to find our true calling in life.
On this blog I will show the most important aspects of what I teach about how to avoid spiritual crises, and generally about my main philosophy; that is: how we deal with anomalous phenomena in a true spiritual practice.
