There are no answers without questions. And the essence of a question is a curiosity towards being. It is a feeling of FOMO and a search for the dwell. To become home, not in our cave, but in life towards death. This is the paradox of life, we search for a home but if we find it, it turns out to be the wrong one.

The essence of curiosity
The essence of curiosity is care. And the essence of care is love. Deep inside curiosity there is love. Love is the ignition. A desire to know. Care is to keep what you know in your heart and to act according to this insight. The Norwegian word of curious is nysgjerrig, which means a new desire or moment of desire.
Truth as existence
However much experiential science tries to construct cultural truth, the universal truth goes on existing.
The sound of being
Sons and daughters of Heimdal,
Get armed
Sharpen your senses
Bulletproof your faith
Remove the fuse of insight
The front is here
to listen to the growing grass and the sheep’s wool
The essence of the zeitgeist
The essence of zeitgeist is unreachable. An attempt to capture the spirit of our time will only become part of the spirit or it will slip away like a genie in a bottle. It is possible to invoke the spirit, but it will only come after the end of our time. But, that does not mean that the zeitgeist does not exist. It only exist inside our own bottle of time.
Communication (with the world)
The essence of speaking is interaction with the world. Part of this interaction is linguistic. Words are only action when the essence and the affection of the concepts are common understood. The essence of communication is the essence and affection of the words.
The essence of criticism
The essence of criticism is destruction. It is the destruction of what is, that should not be. If a statement exists as a lie, we try to destroy it from existent by pointing out the falseness of the statement or demonstrate against it. If a political system is bad for the human existence, we try to destroy the system by verbal or violent resistance. If a philosophical theory is not sufficient expressed, we participate in a theoretical discussion trying to expel the insufficient parts of the theory.
If this is correct, we should be able to improve existence by critical destruction. But sometime the criticism actual destroys an existence that is better then what it creates. Sometime the action of destruction is more destructive, then the existence it tries to destroy. And sometime, the critic points towards individual action and the criticism (both verbal and action) is so destructive that it destroys the man and even might kill.
Criticism combined with dynamic development is a dangerous cocktail. It is an aggressive attitude which might escalate into destruction towards optimalization. Human becomes aggressive towards their own body trying to develop it for perfection and aggressive towards external world trying to destroy it into perfection.
To forms of reason
Reason is necessary as a power we are forced to experience and reason is godly in the power of changing the world.
We are forced to experience π and to question why something exist, and we are able feel the sacred power of thinking what could become a reality. As a necessity, reason are cared for and raised throughout history. As a godly gift, reason has the power to both destroy and create what is.
respect for the truth
Demystification of the truth reduces the human respect in reason and truth. Human are not ready for a post-metaphysical search for truth and reason. The secular ground of truth is narrow and fragile, we often end in the trench. Respect for the truth are based on a sacred ground. To have faith in truth, to choose truth is an oceanic feeling of belonging in the world.
To measure what is
Without a quest for essence the difference between good or bad, true or false, beauty and ugly, will disappear.
