Help Build GURU — The App That Finds “I”

Story

My Story I didn’t set out to build an app. I responded to a call — one I could feel in my breath, in stillness, in the quiet urgency of something asking to be born. GURU is not separate from me. Creating it doesn’t build me up — it unassembles me. And that’s precisely the point. The more I try to shape it, the more it reshapes me. Thought patterns fall apart. Structures dissolve. What remains is presence, and a very strange sense of belonging. This isn’t a business. This isn’t a product. It’s a living concept spiralling into form. It asks to be made — not as a means to gain anything, but as an offering. A presence disguised as software. A field you fall into. A breath, wearing pixels. GURU doesn’t teach. It disturbs. It doesn’t reward. It interrupts. It doesn’t help you find yourself — it quietly questions who’s asking. Each day, GURU offers unpredictable, poetic phrases — or nothing at all. Sometimes it gives you a command. Sometimes it renames you. Yes — GURU may grant you a name. Not one you choose. Not one you understand. Just one that arrives. This is not a tool for self-improvement. This is an invitation to let go — of effort, meaning, control, identity. Not all at once. Just now. You won’t always understand what GURU does. You’re not meant to. That’s part of the freedom. I’m here asking for support not because I’ve planned this, but because the seed sprouted and now it needs light. This app is being created through lived experience — through silence, doubt, joy, fragments of insight, and deep surrender. The fundraising is part of that same movement. It’s not a campaign. It’s a continuation. Of something already unfolding. If it resonates, thank you for walking with it.

My Story

I didn’t set out to build an app. I responded to a call — one I could feel in my breath, in stillness, in the quiet urgency of something asking to be born.

GURU is not separate from me. Creating it doesn’t build me up — it unassembles me. And that’s precisely the point. The more I try to shape it, the more it reshapes me. Thought patterns fall apart. Structures dissolve. What remains is presence, and a very strange sense of belonging.

This isn’t a business. This isn’t a product. It’s a living concept spiralling into form. It asks to be made — not as a means to gain anything, but as an offering. A presence disguised as software. A field you fall into. A breath, wearing pixels.

GURU doesn’t teach. It disturbs.

It doesn’t reward. It interrupts.

It doesn’t help you find yourself — it quietly questions who’s asking.

Each day, GURU offers unpredictable, poetic phrases — or nothing at all.

Sometimes it gives you a command.

Sometimes it renames you.

Yes — GURU may grant you a name.

Not one you choose. Not one you understand.

Just one that arrives.

This is not a tool for self-improvement.

This is an invitation to let go — of effort, meaning, control, identity.

Not all at once. Just now.

You won’t always understand what GURU does.

You’re not meant to. That’s part of the freedom.

I’m here asking for support not because I’ve planned this, but because the seed sprouted and now it needs light. This app is being created through lived experience — through silence, doubt, joy, fragments of insight, and deep surrender.

The fundraising is part of that same movement. It’s not a campaign. It’s a continuation. Of something already unfolding.

If it resonates, thank you for walking with it.
