Radical Inclusion

This is an interesting concept; it is about opening the door without questions, challenges, trying to make sense of what the person knocking on the door brings to the table beforehand, unfiltered acceptance, understand, analyze and dissect post acceptance.

It borrows from concepts around positivity. Everyone brings something positive to the mix until proven otherwise.

Everyone contributes positive energy to the mix, rather than negative energy or trying to live off of the positive energy of the mix.

It is about seeking meaning after action and not premeditating about the meaning, result before action. The result will always be a net positive is the mindset that is trying to cultivated.

What happens post fact is that, no job is too small, nothing in the world is not doable, positively or negatively, no work is menial, every act has significant meaning; hopefully positive. This flips the conventional think on its head. A person automatically becomes more open. This puts the person in a learning, listening and grasping mode. “Talk” follows input from one of the senses simply because all the senses are open to input.

I will update this post as some more thoughts formulate on this subject, but you as a reader must be getting an idea of the sense behind this principle and how it can make someone a better human being.

Burning Man - Introduction

This is a series of posts about burning man and how the principles of burning man can be applied in your day to day lives to make a more meaningful existentialia.


It is a culmination of my learnings from indulging in the festival that defies all “explanation”


You can only understand it by participating in it and taking away a meaning from it that is very personal to you. This festival is about what it means to you and not what it meant to someone else and them trying to project the meaning for you into a construct of what it could mean for you, even if they know you intimately.


This is something that your soul, mind and body need to experience for themselves and then conclude on what to make of it for your body, mind and soul.


Without further ado, let me create the next post(s) for each of the principles.
