Henry Templeman, thinker and writer about issues concerning all people, does not identify to any belief, ideology, philosophy, teaching, or system of thought. He identifies to NOTHING. It is from this unfiltered perspective that he describes some of the most important issues concerning people today, including what is love, death, intelligence, freedom, the self, time, contentment, meditation, and God. In 2013 Templeman began to explore these issues from an unbiased and undistorted perspective by completely discarding the whole of human knowledge, opinion, and belief. This was the first and last step that brought about a sudden and unexpected insight that unified these issues into an undivided whole, and revealed what brings an end to all forms of psychological conflict, struggle, and sorrow in a manner that does not take time and depends on nothing. Most importantly the insight opened the door to an extraordinary field of existence outside the limitations of time and thought, which is unlimited, timeless, and therefore sacred. It was this "sacred other" that inspired Templeman to write about it in a diary. The entries of his diary are published under "Writings".
"What psychological freedom brings is greater than any feeling of simple cheer, gladness, or joyfulness. It is much more than any of that. Freedom combines joy and awe and wonder and astonishment and elation and bliss. It is all of that together rolled into one. It is what comes when the mind discovers what it is to live without the mental dependence to any idea, image, or thought. Dependence denies independence. It denies freedom. It is the element that prevents you from coming upon this sense of immense joy and bliss. There are no words that come close to describing it. Obviously this is something one must find out for oneself. Explore it. Delve into it as you have never delved into anything before. Look at all of the things you mentally depend on, a job, a spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, house, car, religious belief, a particular culture or tradition, a political group, a country, an ideology, a philosophy, or whatever. See that every inner dependence takes the form of a mental image, and that the image defines you. It creates an identity, a sense of me, an ego. The ego is the cause of every inner hurt and misery that mankind has ever experienced. The ego prevents joy. It destroys any sense of bliss. However, when the mental dependence to any and all images ends, then see what happens to the ego. See what takes place with the ego and every sense of misery, sorrow, and psychological conflict in the brain. All of it stops. The whole stream of the ego and all the conflict that goes with it come to a halt. It ends. Only when that happens can the mind come upon what it is to be free, and only in freedom does that bliss which depends on nothing show itself."
