Inscendence as a complementary word to the transcendence brings you contemplations on various topics from the perspective of the reflective, associative and internal intelligence. A journey into depths to find, like Rumi said, the “Messiah, in my heart, I bear.” (مسيحا در دلم پيدا و من بيمار می گردم).
Enjoy the articles. Take them in. More than philosophical discussions or my attempts to convince you of anything, approach them as gentle meditations. Let them reveal that which your own Inner Heart knows. Perhaps they invite you to dream or to look at Reality with an expanded gaze.

The Courageous Romantics
It would appear that the Moon, even in our modern times, still holds to her principles -- she allows the masses to be fed with appearances and illusions, while she hides her deepest and most profound passions and secrets, they visible only to those who prove themselves deserving and worthy. Even in a highly democratic world, her realm remains aristocratic and discriminatory, and still, it is only the Hero with a Sword who can find her, for she remembers the Law that says: "Only the truly good can find the Grail."

The Swan King
It embodied the notable Knight of the Swan legend — a mysterious knight who comes in a swan-drawn boat to rescue a damsel. "Lohengrin" never left Ludwig's heart, him continuing his love of swans and keeping swan figures and paintings in his castles. Very often, the King was painted himself as a Knight of the Swan. Wagner's operas inspired the fantasy loving Ludwig.
The Love of Ruins
The experience of Sublime is the dawn of the defeat of duality, the experience of seemingly opposite polarities, the experience of opposing truths about the existence of human beings. In the experience of Sublime, the vast and powerful nature is the destroyer, the death of humanity and that which humanity creates, and at the same time, in the experience of sublime, human is the nature's redeemer, shaper, the one who uses her powers to build his own worlds. It is the experience of human being as both a part of nature and something above it. Perhaps there lies our peculiar taste for ruins and vegetation that covers them.
