" Living Philosophy" - Marco M.

Living Philosophy

The only possible philosophy today is that of practice, or action. I am convinced it is the only possible one for the simple fact that the minds of the inhabitants of the planet are so "full" of useless concepts and bombarded with useless information that anything that does not burn on the skin would be nothing more than yet another cloud to debate about. Today, the only possible philosophical path is that of action.

Today I have thus completed the retreat I conceived called Askesis, from which the book, being released on Monday, takes its name, with a small group of daredevils whom I am absolutely thrilled about.

I deliberately avoided philosophy talks to not feed what is already overly stimulated. It is possible that their perception is that they have taken part to a 'work out' retreat, while for me it was a philosophical retreat. Where philosophy becomes action, where there is no goal simply because the one who pursues it is missing, the physical limit breaks down barriers, you have nothing to prove and you cling, thus, to the present moment.

The ideal incarnates and reasoning dissolves in contemplative presence.
