This symbolic body is a complex mosaic of intricate thoughts, emotions, and spiritual beliefs. It is a gateway to the ethereal, an edifice that beckons individuals to transcend the boundaries of the material world and delve into the mysteries of the soul.

The constitution of this ethereal body is not etched in stone but engraved in the collective consciousness of its inhabitants. It is founded on the principles of contemplation, inner exploration, and the relentless pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Silence and solitude are revered as pathways to the divine, fostering an environment of inner peace and divine access.
"Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense that there is something greater than myself"
The body also longs to live in a constant state of meditation and introspection. It thrives in solitude, offering individuals a respite from the cacophony of the external world. It finds solace in the silence and stillness, a space where deep introspection reigns supreme.

The body deals with the profound concepts of transcendence, connectedness, self-realization and the search for inner truth. It invites its inhabitants to embark on a journey into the farthest reaches of human consciousness to explore the mysteries of existence and spirituality.
This thought process bears a resemblance to the way Hindu worshipers engage with their spirituality, acknowledging the importance of ritual purity, participation, and the transfer of spiritual qualities to their environment.

In the ethereal world of thought and meditation, this face stands as a symbol of the spiritual, immaterial, poetic and ethereal. It is a place where the individual practices deep contemplation and introspection. It invites one to embark on a journey to oneself, to explore the boundaries of human consciousness, and to connect with the divine within.

Every building has a face, a spirit, a history. A building is nothing more than an embodiment of shared spiritual values that transcend individual beliefs. It inverts conventional notions, much like Giedion's interpretation of the Pantheon as an opening to the light.
"The pantheon as an image of the world or mundus is an opening to the light".
This face represents a world, not in physical form, but in the spiritual essence it conveys. It symbolizes the collective consciousness and the divine place that brings a community together. A building lives from what happens inside and not how it looks from the outside. "Local sacred spaces such as shrines and temples form the basis of local spirituality".
But how could a ritual inside of these buildings look like? It is not a sequence of prescribed actions, but an inner constitution. This constitution is based on the principles of contemplation and inner exploration, and reveres the sanctity of silence and seclusion. It is not set in stone, but is anchored in the minds of its inhabitants. It is an atmosphere of inner peace where the rules are written in the language of the soul.
"It seeks solitude, allowing individuals to retreat from the noise and chaos of the external world to seek the serenity of the internal world".

In its quiet eloquence, this face yearns to ask an important question, "Where is the spirituality?"
It equates the interior of a building with the inner emotional world of a person. It is not about external evaluation but internal values .Spirituality should provide access to this interior space.

But which concepts does it want to reveal? The face not only whispers secrets, but calls out concepts that reverberate in the innermost part of the human being. It delves into the realms of transcendence, exploring connectedness, self-realization and the pursuit of inner truth. It invites its inhabitants to find the limits of human consciousness and access to god. Whereas Augustine also writes of a similar thought in his search for a higher good:"It espouses the conviction that the answers to the profound questions of existence are to be found in the inner realms of consciousness".
Spiritual thinking within the framework of this constitution encourages deep introspection, self-discovery, and communion with the divine. It asserts that profound answers lie within our consciousness, which is consistent with the critique of materialism discussed by Zizek. This ethereal constitution, secluded from worldly chaos, guides those who seek spiritual depth. It allows one to explore the immaterial, poetic, and ethereal aspects of existence and to reflect on spiritual questions and the human soul. In this ethereal realm, the body and its constitution provide the framework for a profound spiritual journey similar to the wisdom of influential thinkers and philosophers.
"In short, the implicit lesson of Bohr’s reflections amounts to a materialist critique of the naive realist epistemology and ontology“.

In the silent corridors of contemplation and introspection, a metaphysical entity exists, a body, one that embodies profound spirituality and seeks to transcend the material constraints of existence. This entity, a constitution of ethereal thoughts and beliefs, serves as a haven for those who yearn to explore the deeper dimensions of spirituality and the human soul.

In the complex web of human existence, where the tangible world merges with the intangible realms of thought and spirituality, there is a face - a representation of the human soul and our deepest beliefs. It is a revelation of the human spirit, a silent narrative that speaks of the deep symbolism of architecture, a ritual that unites the physical and the spiritual, a stage where identity is artfully articulated and mystery is revealed in the gentle dance of form and substance. This face invites us to a theater of the spirit, a sanctuary for deep introspection, a place where spirituality is not only practiced but embodied.

I saw a young boy, his feet pounding through a meadow of tall, wild grass. The grass had grown so tall that it was difficult to perceive his surroundings. Nevertheless, he raced with an exhilarating fervor. There was an uncontainable joy in his laughter as he sprinted through that sun-drenched summer day, probably June. Nothing, not even the mightiest boulder or the wildest stream, had the power to hinder his unstoppable spirit.

Dusk began to fall, and it got darker. His parents had expressly told him to be home before sun dipped below the horizon. Yet, the sun had long since surrendered to the night's embrace, and still, the boy raced on. He placed his trust in the dim silhouettes of the obstacles, surmounting them with an unwavering resolve.

As he returned home, the night had already fallen. Strangely enough, I already knew the door, where the boy rang the bell. The door opened and the light from the inside illuminated the darkness. At this point I recognized the angry face of the man standing in the doorway.
The stuffy air from the house made it difficult to breathe.

It wasn't just any face; it was my father's. In that moment, I realized that I must be that young boy standing at the door, a reflection of myself from a decade past. A rush of warmth flooded through me, and my heart brimmed with emotion.

"Once more, disappointment," he said to me. My mother, too, cast me a brief, disapproving glance, as if my presence failed to evoke any positive sentiments within them.
That evening I slept with an uncomfortable feeling of repulsion.

...However, on the next morning, filled with anticipation for my new soccer jersey and beloved cake, I eagerly sprang from my bunk bed and hurried downstairs.
My excitement was tangible as I awaited the unveiling of the gifts.

Instead, a feeling of dejection and disappointment surrounded me.... On the table that was normally decorated with flowers, gifts, and a cake, there was only a lone cupcake with a single candle. Two balloons in the shape of the number eleven were attached to a chair, and there were leftovers from dinner the night before.

I stood there alone, gazing into emptiness. Shortly thereafter, I lit the candle. I observed the wax as it melted and trickled down. Also from my cheek a hot drop of wax dripped down. My focus shifted to the modest flame above the wick. I hovered my fingers over it, feeling no heat. Moving my palm closer, I experienced no pain. I watched as the fine hairs on my hand began to burn, and the smell of burnt hair filled my senses.

My gaze remained fixed on the flame, without any movement. Suddenly, my pajama sleeve caught fire. The flames spread, rising from my hand to my shoulder, enveloping me in their tender warmth. The rest of my pajamas ignited, and I perceived the smell of burning flesh for the first time. My "body slowly withered and shriveled.“[2] In the distance, I heard agonized screams. The fire was everywhere, growing hotter and fiercer to the point of unbearable heat. I longed to scream. I opened my mouth, and.... nothing

nothing, but the relentless pounding in my chest.

"Breakfast is served,"
I heard a gentle voice call from a lower floor.

The laptop on my nightstand remained powered on, its glow piercing through my weary eyes.
My back was stuck to the damp bed sheet.
An article called „The Buddhist Crisis, a period of political-religious tension in South Vietnam“ still lights up on the screen.

slowly I remember my research fro, last evening : The protests of the Buddhists, the “suppression by the Roman Catholic government under President Ngô Đình Diệm“[4], and then that monk whose name I can't pronounce. "Thích Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese monk, who burned himself in Saigon on June 11, 1963, to protest the oppression of the Buddhist majority in Vietnam." [1]

The Huế Phật Đản shootings,"were the deaths of nine unarmed Buddhist civilians the 8 of May, 1963, in the city of Huế, South Vietnam, at the hands of the army and security forces of the government of Ngô Đình Diệm, a Roman Catholic.
The army and police “fired guns and launched grenades into a crowd of Buddhists“ who had been protesting "against a government ban on flying the Buddhist flag on the day of Phật Đản" [1], which commemorates the birth of Gautama Buddha.

I fell into my thoughts:
Why must it always escalate to this point? Why is violence, oppression, and war such a frequent visitor in our world? Why do even the most minor conflicts, issues, or disputes often escalate into fdispute and fights?

I'm left wondering.
I used to believe that everyone aspired to an open and liberal democratic society. After all, democracy thrives on the diversity of opinions.

why don’t we welcome different opinions?
Why don't we provide the necessary room for these diverse perspectives to flourish?
Why don't we welcome problems ?

Problems are great !

Without problems we would not develop. Only if you face a problem you are forced to find a "solution". And this supposed "solution" brings then again new problems, which want to be solved. A continuous cycle!

I believe the measure of whether a problem is truly good or bad depends on our approach to it. Certainly not all problems are good, but I believe with the right mentality many problems can be turned into something positive.

Handling a problem in the right way requires a lot of time and patience.
Maybe sometimes all that's missing, is the space for this cycle and the patience it takes.

Therefore, it can readily transpire that the conflict becomes a pretext for negative energy or aggression that could come from a completely different source. The current, perhaps seemingly insignificant conflict is used as a reason for this negative energy without really being responsible for it. Dissatisfaction, for example, can pile up this negative energy.

Maybe it could help to find a way to liberate yourself from this negative energy before it builds up to a larger amount.
One method of achieving this could be through meditation.

For instance, in Buddhism, meditation is one of the most fundamental practices.

Buddhism is one of the great world religions. Unlike other major religions, Buddhism is non-theistic, meaning it does not revolve around the worship of an all-powerful God. Instead, most Buddhist teachings are based on extensive philosophical and logical reasoning.
"In addition, the practice of meditation and the experiential knowledge that results from it are a central element in Buddhism.

The goals of meditation primarily include "the cultivation of mental calm and serenity (samatha), the training of clear consciousness and deep insight (vipassana), the cultivation of compassion for all beings, the development of mindfulness, and the gradual dissolution of painful attachment to the self.“
