A journey around the world through the human experience and non-dual
consciousness.
Here are the diaries, the reflections, the feelings, the insights and the photos of this ongoing evolving journey. The drive behind THAT WHAT IS is to share, teach and give space to that what Life is in all its power, variety and richness and to be an intimate voice of this, an evolutionary pioneer reporting directly from the lustrous Source itself from which all is arising.
To express That which is expressing Me.
The Rise of Eros, the Death of Ego. Croatia, Turkey, Australia
September - December 2024
I think most of us can relate to the feeling of deeply wanting something to happen, to pop irreversibly: To pop that very intimate membrane around our deepest fear, tucked away inside our steaming damp gut. That place, as scary and unknown as death itself, there, right there is where I want to be.
Thank you Mom and Dad for being Spectacular. Belgium
November 2023 - May 2024
On his deathbed, just shy of three years after my mother passed, my father refused to see me. My sister said he did not want me to come over. She said he was screaming in pain, given morphine to ease his suffering.

March 2023 - April 2023
I would like to share here some limited thoughts on wound cycles, ancestral trauma and the power of illusion. Is it truth? I don’t know, partially true for sure…
The Momentum is Ripe for Treatment, Costa Rica.
February 2023 - March 2023
The more I open and turn towards life itself, in direct contact, medicinal, Prior, the more I understand the purpose of human life as a treatment in itself. It does not feel like a seeking anymore for answers or for liberation in life like people used to seek before or still do, but really more as a treatment.

June 20 - July 10 2021
Every Life journey of Awakening, Human and Spiritual growth, there comes a point where you break into a deeper layer through the thick ice of ignorance on which you have been figure skating believing you have seen the light and are well established within it.
That call does come. Germany, USA, Belgium.
February 9 1943 - May 6 2021
Out and about, planetary, galactic, blasting your past and your future into the pieces of the present moment, that hot, sweet, exciting, so so pure and loud present moment, without time, with all the time in the world, all the time before to stop one day and visit your parents.

Lying on my back in my jungle hut after weeks of fasting during dieta with the Noya Rao tree, Ayahuasca ceremonies, hardly any food, just water and praying, sopla-ing with my pipe when hungry.The rain is falling in the rainforest. Everything is featherlight, the whole body is light as a feather.

Huachuma, The key to heaven. Pisac, Peru
March 17 - July 16 2020
Grace comes. It does come to you when you drop all desires of wanting or insisting anything to be different than it already is. The gates of Heaven, Earth and Heart open when you are ready to leave everything behind that is not Love. When you let go all you made up out of ignorance, anger, pride and fear of others, the world and yourself.
One month of Lockdown. Sacred Valley, Pisac, Peru.
March 16 - April 16 2020
Fall has come to the southern hemisphere, as Peru is just under the equator. I am in Pisac, in the Sacred Valley, Valle Sagrado, in the Andean Highlands, in the heart of the Inka Empire. This place radiates with Bliss. The weather has been changing, the rains are over and the beautiful sunny dry fall/winter season has come to the green hills and terrasses.

February 2020
Staying with Shaman Don Luis and his family, friends and co-dieters in the Amazonian jungle in Peru for a full month Ayahuasca dieta - hosted by Gaston and Lucille - has been the most beautiful and the most terrifying space-time I have ever been within.
Malteosh! Lake Atitlan, El Castillo, Tikal. Guatemala.
January 2020
Doing a silent meditation retreat is fairly easy, one two or three yoga ttc is also easy, travelling through Guatemala with a colourful group of 15 beautiful individuals with a defined separate sense of self is a challenge of life as it is ... also.
Hatha and Advaita. Hridaya Yoga. Mexico.

What happens when a Romanian yoga master decides to open a non-duality hatha yoga and meditation centre in a sleepy Mexican paradise beach village ? ... you get a most precious, caring and humble community and sangha of LOVE, unconditional love from the heart, in the heart as the heart.

Fall, rain and mist have come also to the mountains of Portugal and time is not standing still it is creeping silently through the days, like bramble, like a smiling snake, through every crack in the rocks, around the house. Our house. Mushrooms, salamanders, mantises feast on crickets …
Plant-based Retreat Chef. Merkaba, Portugal.
September - October 2019
Merkaba Community, off-grid eco-retreat centre in Portugal, is one of those rare places where sand, mountain, plant, sky, star, animal, angel and human remain wild and have no name other than their own sound and perfume.
Awakened Life Project. Quinta de Mizarela Ashram.
September 2019.
Awakened Life Project. Portugal.
Yes I have surrendered to allow life to be me..., us..., that... This is going beyond a “spiritual life”, “spiritual seeking”, “yogic path” or “being spiritual”, this is about life as it is, always already is, beyond anything that can be named nor desired.
