Center for Living Metaphysics of Being

Understanding existence and human experience 

Seeing more clearly what we are living

 

Welcome to the Center for Living Metaphysics of Being

Understanding what we live

We all go through experiences: emotions, relationships, challenges, joys, losses, and transformations. Yet we are rarely taught how to understand what truly lies behind these experiences.

This website exists to offer a clear, accessible, and coherent perspective on human existence — beyond beliefs, systems, and contradictory interpretations.

It is not about adopting a new doctrine or following a method.

It is about seeing more clearly. Understanding what shapes our experience transforms the way we live, act, and perceive the world.

You may be here because… 

  • You are searching for meaning in what you are living
  • You have explored different approaches without finding a complete answer
  • You want to understand rather than believe
  • You sense that a deeper understanding of existence is possible
  • You are going through a period of transition or questioning
  • You want to better understand human experience and consciousness

If this resonates with you, you are in the right place.

What you will find here 

This website is a space for exploration and understanding.

Foundational concepts

A structured vision of existence, consciousness, and human experience.

The book

A comprehensive synthesis of this understanding, accessible to all.

Activities and gatherings

Opportunities to explore these perspectives through dialogue and shared inquiry.

A non-dogmatic approach

No belief system imposed. No closed doctrine. Only reference points to observe and understand.

This exploration does not ask you to adopt any belief. It simply invites you to look differently at what is already present within human experience.

This website comes into being after decades of hesitation to make my writings on applied metaphysics public.

Through a long path of lived experiences, observation of human behavior, and questioning of the mechanisms of suffering, a clearer understanding gradually emerged. Through a patient and embodied personal exploration, I ultimately chose to put these reflections into writing.

These works gave rise to the book « “The Paths of Returning Home,” », to be published in 2026. It presents forty concepts aimed at illuminating the structures that shape human experience: unconscious patterns, trauma, emotional wounds, and the dynamics of suffering.

The writing of these concepts also led to the creation of the Center for Living Metaphysics of Being and this website, in order to share this approach of understanding with those who resonate with it.
