A new self-image
For an old concept... When we deal intensively with our spirituality, it leads, first of all, in a straight line, to a certain new self-understanding of our physicality or to a consolidation of an old concept. But once we have reached the point, perhaps after many wrong turns, where the truth presents itself so blatantly, offensively and obviously, that no other possibilities can be accepted, except the idea of cosmic love, the matter intensifies. Transformation of thought patterns While, at the beginning of our path, we still have a lot to do with our thought formations and are still mentally stuck in the corresponding level, the transformation of these thought patterns, will bring about an actual change. In such a way, that the levels, the dimensions of our perceived existence, slowly begin to shift. Confrontation But first we stand in this world. We are – or so we think – confronted with profound “facts” without being asked. Seem helplessly devoted to “life”. The possibilities of “moving around” in this existence seem limited on all sides. The “outside” that we perceive seems to generate these boundaries, or rather, it seems to consist of these restrictions at all levels. Fenced in We identify with the smallness that is prescribed by these limits. In this predetermined constellation of restriction, limitation, and curtailment, the goal that our constant, more subconscious doubt makes us seek cannot be found. The goal of love - which we know about in an indefinite way - has no chance of being achieved due to the twisted meaning of the term "love" in the historical dimension, the physical world that we "realize", that we "live". Not provided for in the system If we feel the urge, in any way, to strengthen our beliefs, or to find a constellation of our thinking that makes us content, on which we can rest - this regularly fails due to the limits that society has imposed on our thinking. Our judgmental, evaluative logic cannot grasp the complex of otherness that is being proclaimed. This is not provided for in the system. Difficult understanding We are talking about a real movement on a path that opens up to everyone sooner or later - it is just a question of time. But at the beginning, the otherness of what is inevitably revealed to us will clearly disturb our previous understanding of "existence". It will irritate us profoundly. Because what is opening up there can only be made comprehensible very slowly - with the regulations of society as a basis for understanding. But because it is possible, we will understand it. Tangible conflict of interest However, we “slide” into a complex “conflict of interest” beforehand. Very simply, because we cannot think past basic algorithms, that have been internalized over years and decades, and which are and have been proven to us thousands of times, at almost every moment, and, so to speak, “tangibly”. And even if there is a line of logic in the explanation, that leads to this fascinating “diametrical” way of thinking – we are more than inclined (caught in the limits of our thoughts) to push this into one of our drawers, to neglect it, and simply to “forget”. FripperyThis is in the “nature” of our “lifestyle”. There is no room for “nonsense”. Who will pay the next rent? Who are the car payments? These are the questions, that distract us in diversity and steal our time. And yet they, these burning demands and questions, would dissolve into “pleasure” (in the truest sense of the word) if we would only actually look at our situation with our eyes open. Source of fear It is not the case, that these “things”, “actions”, that we give ourselves up to in our free will, are just “distractions”. They certainly include tangible fears, that determine our entire lives. They create all kinds of suffering. Also illness. And our defensiveness, our aggression, manifests their comprehensive “chaos logic”. A cycle of attachments, that creates a great deal of unconscious suffering, which we seek to escape by participating in the social theorem, in consumption.Tied up Through our interaction - using a variety of mechanisms at various levels of this understanding disconfiguration - we become more and more entangled in a variety of shackles. We are completely focused and are very simply unable to recognize “other”. In order to be effective towards understanding, it is now important to expand this focus, or even just to create a “gap in understanding”, to present a little of the profound doubts. Even the smallest spark of willingness on the part of the seeker is enough. Allegory of the cave As the philosopher Plato long ago described in his famous “Allegory of the Cave,” we live in a world of illusions. Like the observers of the shadows of the fire on the cave wall, which Plato's protagonists believe to be absolute reality - showing them the truth would drive them crazy - so too a terrible fear prevents us from trusting another way of thinking. Absoluteness of love But the love of creation does not let us down. Because this overpowering, all-encompassing love is with us from the first moment of our own free “will”, the will of mindfulness, of joy, of freedom from fear, the will of eternity, of awe-filled wonder, of intention – it is with us from the first, no matter how quietly Call to the side that we do - with noticeable change, extend your hand to us. A lived, realistic, grounded, positivism emerges and enters life situations.Self-realizationThe source of this change, which at times is reminiscent of miracles, is ourselves - but we are not yet fully aware of it. Yet, congruent with our “will,” we are able to recognize with “time”, that every action in our lives, everything that happens, every change, no matter how small, in “space and time,” in an absolute way can serve one goal: Knowledge. Understanding. Enlightenment. The sacred moment. Of love. ConclusionAnd so, the only thing, that can apply is: Join the new thinking of real, true love! Numerous people, who know, are traveling the world with the wave of knowledge - don't worry - the truth will come to you at exactly the right time. And you will know with glad hearts, that it is the truth. Not the slightest doubt will remain in your happy soul. And you will smile silently at the irrationality, that you have adhered to until then.
The Way of the Lord – Breathing Meditation
Noticeable change
The essence of Buddha's words - As we can easily see, when we study it, all aspects of his teaching can be found in the few words, that the Lord Buddha says about breathing meditation - I mean, ultimately the Buddhist worldview, the path to enlightenment, could be expressed in these short ones Exhaust lines. Of course, this “minimalism” neither affects the quality of the text, which is beyond any evaluation – nor does the statement about the length have any relevance. The most vivid idea The path shown here, is the fully alive Buddhist thought in the now. The emphasis – also in general and in the larger, universal context – is on “alive”. Because the idea of Buddhism - it is the source idea par excellence - is alive - it is the idea of life in general - and as such it, first of all and fundamentally, overrides everything, that is called value. And very simply: This includes death. Today in the now In the Satipatthana Sutta - in Vipassana and mindfulness meditation, you can find a clear teaching on salvation, a guide to truth and reality, which can be lived alive in our today. The fact that their “thought model” is diametrically opposed to that of society – constitutes the philosophy surrounding every attempt to find this truth, the meaning in life. Extensive attempts at explanation Because the introduction to this other concept of thought - (and nothing other, than attempts to at least bring this closer to people, are all true "doctrines of salvation") - proves to be extremely difficult (it is necessary to "fight" against a "basic programming") The authors engage in lengthy attempts at explanation, which are also terribly deformed by time and other influences, in their complex, extremely complicated and therefore also fragile and vulnerable form. Paper mill We are talking here - make no mistake - about the Bible, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita and all the writings, that have ever been written on the subject of salvation. Even if they were originally formulated honestly. PAPERWORK. These documents are worthless – like every “word”. What all the teaching paths have in common, is the placement of “creation” on an unreachable pedestal. This may not always be obvious - but the outstanding tendency is an almost insurmountable distance between the idea of God and man. The goal is to resolve the separation All, that should always be achieved, is to dissolve this figuration of separation, which only emerged through the thinking judgment. Every writing, that leads to the truth, internalizes this desire - tries to show ways, behavior, physical exercises, methodology, ultimately paradigms - hierarchies - that can give shape to this desire. The attempt to convey “truth”, in the given dual context, leads to gigantic explanation frameworks, that only a tiny minority can really follow - the rest is content with slogans. Again, we are talking about all the works of spirituality, that have ever been written. At this point you have to understand, that the term “really” cannot be understood. It is impossible for us to truly understand This is an important point, from which we move a few steps further. We are not able, to truly understand with the “means”, we are given (data, information, tools). When it says “given means”, what is meant, is the means, that we know exists. This in turn means, that the only way to at least bring people closer to the idea of salvation, is to provide them with the necessary resources at their level of thinking/understanding.Blindly held in chains by manipulation And here it becomes clear once again, how central and penetratingly truthful is the image of the human being, who, completely blinded (manipulated) by the influences of the "world", seeks love and the meaning of existence in the possibilities - and tries to recognize - how it is shown to him by his ego. Of course in vain. In order to find any truth here, a “fixed point” would be necessary. But we look for it in vain in humanity's dominant mental construct. Defined within limits The dynamics of the existing system of thought arises from its limitations. It is defined in limitation. In smallness. Any definition applied is limited in this crazy logic. Only in limitation, in exclusion, in a negation - if you will - can a concept - or the "concept of a concept" be "understood". Which doesn't mean more, than that we approach the matter a little - the “understanding” is selective. . Extremely flexible points of view Every “point of view” in this system is hyperelative; one will try in vain to arrive at a basic reason. People's reaction to this thought construct - limited and moribund according to their own logic - to which they submit - is fear. The aim in life is now to replace the missing fixed point in our meaning of life, our logic of existence, with something similarly lasting. God on another level We seek to compensate for the lack of care of God, who sits somewhere on his pedestal and strokes his cat, through the relationships, we enter into, in our lives. Mental, emotional, material relationships, with things, animals, other people. We see ourselves robbed of God's love - we have been thrown out of paradise (or so they say) - and the ego has built a huge fairground, to make us forget it. Presumptuous, hasty statement At this point we will abbreviate the actual explanation of the matter - we trust the intellect of the readers. Why? Because there is a wonderful “bridge of interpretation” in one of the last sentences. Namely: “we have been thrown out of paradise”. With this sentence fragment, this cheeky, hasty statement, we have the opportunity to take this shortcut in our argument. Let's hike this path! Painful existence Here lies, in these few words, all of our aches and pains of this existence. We were thrown out of paradise. That means - death, suffering, illness, wars, greed - the whole package of human depravity (and supposedly divine providence) - that is, what describes our existence. And we are either pissed off at a creation, that allows something like this, resigned, or we blame ourselves. A sad thing – that much seems clear. Sad acceptance There is no real approach to a solution in any visible behavioral options - so we are now trying to face this painting, using a variety of means, even if we were born into this world involuntarily. Forced. I mean, we accept everything, that is served to us. We accept it. We live it. We make the best of it. And with every action in this set of rules - holistically with body and mind - we slide further into this complex, sad labyrinth of our thinking. A God who loves and lets his children suffer and die What can now be recognized: The entire suffering of humanity rests on the fact, that creation denies us a paradisiacal state of existence. Is our life anything other, than a reaction of defiance? Well, there would always be reason to be dissatisfied - if you look at the world, in which we live. A fine, loving God, who forces such an existence on his children. (In pain you shall...) Beyond unreasonable – completely crazy And now it is necessary - in view of all the unreason, that has built up in a gigantic system of thought, of evaluation and judgment - "sin" - which is increasing in the process - to apply real reason. The intellectual and emotional ability of the reader, that was mentioned earlier. If we assume, that creation is love - (it is absolute and can therefore only be love/creation - compelling logic to the absolute) then the simplest question arises, „How can a loving person impose such a life on his children?“ Abandoned children of God? How can an absolute creator, who must represent love, create his children as soon-to-be-rotting lumps of flesh, with nervous systems - in a world of disease and war, of depraved morals, of banknotes? How could God abandon His children? How? Which God would that be? What love would that be? We come to the conclusion - after REASONABLE consideration of this constellation - that this is not possible. It just doesn't work. Pure, clear reason So we come to the conclusion, from pure reason, that, what we perceive of the world, is not the willed “creation”, created by creation - it cannot exist like that - it is completely obvious to reason, that a loving God would never call such a world his. This means quite clearly, that our perception is an illusion. This is now empirical from a spiritual perspective - quantum science, even normal biology and physics, confirms and underlines this fact. Buddha describes the place of silence We live in an illusion - which makes an indescribable noise. We cannot hear the tender, quiet voice of creation, of love. We have become deaf. Buddha also recognizes this situation of people - and in his instructions for meditation, he explains, how to reach a place of silence, from which it is possible to dissolve all the attachments, that create the noise - regardless of any concept of time . A path in time We are then on the path. And all the Venerable One's statements say, that it is necessary to immerse oneself in practice. That “training” is necessary. So there seem to be individual phases of understanding, of recognizing, of seeing. This is also an illusion, that our thinking tells us. The truth knows no hierarchies - the lesson goes beyond our comprehension. The goal is paradise If we think all this through, we will know, what the end is, what our goal is. It is the truth, that has always been there, it is reality. It is the paradise, from which a loving God never drove us away. Only our own thoughts, with the free will, given to us, have built an almost impenetrable wall of thought. Rags before our eyes. So we are blind - and cannot recognize the paradise, that surrounds us, which has never closed its gates because it knows none, cannot recognize the reality, the glory of life, paradise. Satipatthana Sutta “Monks, this is the direct path to the purification of beings, to the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, to the cessation of dukkha and sorrow, to the attainment of the right method, to the realization of Nibbana, namely the four Satipatthanas. ConclusionThe Buddha's breathing meditation, which the enlightened one Thich Nhat Hanh described so excellently and formulated so wonderfully in its simplicity - it is the way to get out of this life of dependencies and into fearless freedom. It is becoming AWARE of the breath - and it is the simplest exercise in existence - just as easy as breathing is.
Your words, what and how you say them,reflect you in the worldRight speech is the path to knowledgeA disease can never be cured in the placewhere it was created.To correct our wrong thinking,we have to get out of our thoughts.This is achieved in the Buddha's breathing meditation.
The Cosmic Man – Free from Fear
Basic dynamics of life: Fear
The term “FEAR” is a synonym for any dynamic, that makes up our alleged “existence” in our highly technological body world, the dimension of evaluation and judgment. But the very word “existence” makes a mockery of itself - because people are by no means “there” - rather, they show themselves to be trapped by an infinite variety of “distancers”. Fear arises from a fundamental lack of understanding This has a direct connection to fear - because fear grows on the basis of a complex lack of understanding of the fundamentals - we are afraid, because our thinking approaches the consideration of things with completely wrong foundations. This false basis has its cause in the separation of the human individual from the love of creation. Any fear can only happen in distance from the love of creation. In truth, fear does not exist If we conceptualize the truth, if we approache the reality of the absolute love of our life in an internalized way, the fears would also disappear. But now this reality, for the human being integrated into the world, is hidden behind the gigantic soap bubble of evaluation, of judgment, which (since Adam and Eve) has increased in a potentiating manner. As long, as we do not take an all-encompassing, clear stance in our thinking on the “unity” and the “interbeing” of life as such, we are blind. The real character of existence It is important, to recognize the true character of life in “non-birth and non-death”. The way there is both the acquisition of knowledge - and its final dissolution, on the one hand. The internalization of this transcendence is another. But – and this is where the gate to reality lies – knowledge about something, that does not belong to this “worldly knowledge”, can only be conveyed with this very thing, with great, extremely difficult difficulties. The wrong place This means, quite simply and directly, that our “thinking” gets in the way. A disease can never be cured in the place, where it originated. To correct our wrong thinking, we have to get out of the thoughts. This is achieved in the Buddha's breathing meditation. By uniting body and mind, letting our thoughts sink into the body, as well as vice versa, we generate a place of silence, of neutral clarity from “social noise” Recognize thought formations Just like an athlete prepares for a competition, we do it in the meditation EXERCISE. The refreshing silence, at a distance from all judgments and evaluations, makes it increasingly possible for us to recognize positive and negative thought formations. Once, we are able to see their true nature, we can deal with them very easily. We recognize the principles, algorithms and preambles of fear, they disappear, recognized in their insignificance/non-existence - we shape them, in dissolution, into an instrument of joy. Without the usual strands of experience The way, in which the positive change, that we want to achieve through our spiritual striving, (the transformation into a “cosmic human being”) takes place, has nothing to do with the methodology, that derives our thinking from the logic system of the historical dimension. The change in our living conditions, the disappearance of all possible fears - it just happens. It just happens outside of all these “logic” and time strands of social thinking, separated from any real impact from an alleged “outside”. Thought frees itself. This liberation is completely fundamental, from the “innermost” “in action”.ConclusionWhat becomes effective here, is the “individual miracle” which will arrive at a point on our “time scale” for each of us, quite inevitably and beaming with joy, when finally recognized. The sacred moment, that lifts any fear from your shoulders. Thousands of kilos of heavy guilt can be dissolved, in good grace. Conjures a gentle smile of peace and love on your face and in your mind. Forever. The cosmic man becomes reality.
The obvious
Irrefutable facts
"Apparently". Well then. For example, it is “obvious”, that the word has 9 letters. An irrefutable fact. Defined by algebraic formalism, broken down to what is visible - a partitioning, that you can hold on to. Even with the simplest constructions, as can be seen, we are forced to partition, to divide, in order to explain, to define. Here it’s simple – just two components, namely “visible” and “countable”. But – what is so uncomplicated in our existence? Shown in partitioning As we move just a little closer to the formula, it begins to fragment further. This is how it is limited here - to the english language, that the letters do not move too quickly, (if they did) that there is a basic knowledge, that can somehow use/represent the "obvious", that the color of the symbols differs from the background, that they are recognizable as individual symbols, that the observer's visual acuity is correct, that there is enough light... a thousand other preambles, preconditions, appear. Intensifying chaos Even the seemingly simple “obvious” has a densely woven background, that, in its simplest form, appears chaotic. If we now make a leap from this simple constellation of “things” in a counting question to ourselves, to our “life” - it immediately becomes clear, how infinitely “complicated” its “handling” must be. Because millions upon millions of constantly changing preconditions, flowing formulas and algorithms “work” here. Ultimately, an information chaos, that human thinking escapes, by using “filters”. Manipulation filter systems There are natural filters for our perception - for example, we cannot hear certain frequencies or see certain colors - but the largest "filter" system is our thinking itself - much more, than just a filter. If we “look at it to the end” with these “filters”, we are the director of our life’s film, the screenwriter. This is not just a mere word image, not just a crude example. Follow! Basic background absolutely necessary Our perception is complex - our entire body is a sensor. Viewed more roughly, there is hearing, seeing, “feeling” - “UNDERSTANDING”. Let us limit ourselves in this discourse to communication - which can, in a certain sense, be viewed as a source of any other flow of information. In the last few paragraphs it became clear, that “things” are (must be) described by their basic components. I mean, the circumstances of “readability” of the matter must be present. Individual information standard If these basic components are not present, in whole or in part, i.e. if the “circumstances” are not correct, the “result” will be accordingly. This is, what defines the individuality of people and “things”. Now, it is clear, that every person needs a pool of information, in order to understand certain circumstances. It is equally clear, that, what is in this pool of information, is fundamental to the form, of what is subsequently “understood”. Which leads us directly to the keyword “ego manipulation”. Inherited “world view” A clear picture of a society, that, in its complete posturing of “education,” has brought about, what we now call our “existence.” And this existence is one, in which thoughts of transience, suffering, full of fears, illness, war, filled with sad certainties, frightening uncertainties prevail. This confusing chaos arose in our own thinking, made from manipulated basic information, basic premises, preambles. Caught in smallness What happens is, that the image of smallness, that we have of ourselves, keeps us stuck in a life situation, that generates nothing but fear. The little one's fear of the big one. Of the subordinate before the powerful. The poor before the rich. We have imagined an image of the “obvious”, puzzled together from an infinite number of tiny pieces – a puzzle with individual pieces, that do not fit together. We put them all in a bag and wrote “life” on them. Put in a drawer. Only illusion value But, what we live as "obvious" is pure invention, illusion - in the absence of the ability to really put this puzzle together, (which, due to the diversity of the individual parts - we only ever receive fragments of information - the rest is pure "interpretation " - would never be possible anyway) we fantasize our universe with vague clues (also fed from the tiny pieces of information from our bag)) Completely individual, "egotistical", we collect witnesses for our BELIEF - which never can be anything other, than baseless chaos. Don Quixote in action But it is true, that we have to LIVE with this, our so crazy distorted, image of existence. An idea, that, due to its incompleteness, its lack of truth, its purely illusory value, is constantly in angry confrontation. Keeps us breathless. No break. We are forced to defend our “dreams,” our “obviousness,” what we believe is “reality.” We also attack this. Constant defense Our view of things is actually, that we constantly believe, that we are being attacked by an uncontrollable “outside”; we only take responsibility for what we believe is not “outside” and that we have created ourselves . What exactly this “outside” is, remains hidden. In any case, “we can’t help it.” We are unable to truly acknowledge, that we are the creators of our own world - the fear of responsibility is far too great. Fear of responsibility The responsibility for what happens “outside”, is too great, so we hide behind our smallness. Fear. Panic. DOUBT OF LIFE. We can see, that the cause of the desperately sad position we take in the “course of things”, is our self-portrait, wallowing in smallness. We get all the clues for this self-description from the ego dynamics, which, in such a constellation, knows best, how to realize its goals.Illusion dynamics The cause, basis, reason, of this painful illusion dynamic, is the truth, that the extremely fragile construction of the ego lie building would collapse, if someone were to take the one, decisive step in the right direction (the “abyss”). I smile to my heart. That time, when we return “home” comes for everyone. It is the moment, when we understand, that our “being,” our “I,” is not limited to or by our bodies and minds. That there is no “SELF”. Holy moment The moment, when we realize, that our real “BEING” finds us “outside” any possible description. Outside of birth and death and just as outside of non-birth and non-death. The illusory character of any “reality” is revealed. Anyone, who not only recognizes this position intellectually, but rather internalizes it, will understand the Buddha nature of every living being. Complete impermanence The nature of the “obvious” is that of a soap bubble, the emptiness, of which is filled with judgment, that is quite manipulative in its capacity as “reality”. If we take just a small step closer, its complete impermanence first becomes apparent. The “Sight” further shows us, beyond this “temporal” fleetingness, the non-significance, the irrelevance, that is fundamentally inherent in this thought formation, constructed from prejudiced, equally unstable, “quasi-positions”, taken out of thin air. In another dimension Once we have understood the logic or illogicality of this construction, this idea, we are able to depict it in our inner eye, then it is possible for us to “push forward”, so to speak. “To advance” is not the right choice of word – it rather means, that we look at the matter from a distance, from a point of view, that has nothing to do with this logic, is no longer involved in it, and that’s why can understand.Construction from tiny details We recognize, that our “obvious” is only a construction - made up of the smallest fragments, that only have something to do with each other - any discrepancy is filtered out by our thinking - what is left, is ego-driven thinking - which manipulates this from the ground up. Pushes “obviousness” onto our screen, hiding all other options. Fed by evaluation The so-called “obvious” is always, at all levels of perception, just as in every dimension of a thought, an idea, inevitably, always just an illusion, put together, made up of the tiniest bits of knowledge, which, in turn, is only a fraction of the knowledge of the world - and so one could say “has nothing to do with the knowledge of the only one, the cosmos.” because – it is based on evaluation. Meditation is the logical solution When we become aware of this new image of existence, our clear aspiration is to make “progress” on this path. Meditation will inevitably come into our lives. At this point, “meditation” means nothing other than going to a place where the “noise” created by these “mechanics of society” can no longer be heard and are irrelevant. There is talk of the breathing meditation of the venerable Lord Buddha, so finely described by Thai Thich Nhat Hanh. Internalized concentration By focusing solely on our breath, “uniting” with it, ignoring everything else, we are able, to create this place. This is a matter of practice. A matter of concentration. Mindfulness. There is nothing else in our thinking - no other than our breathing. We become breath. Nothing else exists anymore. Nothing. We feel, think and feel our breath. Exclusively. The 2600 year old wisdom of Buddha The Buddha's breathing meditation, described in the Diamond Sutra, has many stages in its progression. From the awareness of the breath the path of meditation continues. From our place of silence, we are finally able to return to our true, original Buddha nature,to remember ourselves and the Buddha nature of all sisters and brothers, to face life accordingly, absolute love of creation, as your recognized, unconditional “God”. ConclusionWe are sleeping gods and dreamers of our own individual universe. In the place of non-existence of social functions just described, it is possible for us to recognize our true nature as an enlightened person and to become aware of it. We understand the desire of creation love to awaken us from our dream - because - created by our own will - it turns out to be an "obvious" nightmare, nightmare of transience, war, illness, greed, suffering.
A new way of thinking
Countless “Descriptions of Existence”
There are many texts, that deal with a completely new view of people's lives - the social system is completely dilapidated, controlled, and even more so, undermined by powerful, very secret forces - or, one step further, the idea of a dictatorial matrix . These are very serious pictures of many people's lives. A new face Another direction, on the other hand, is the desire for a world in love - the longing for Nirvana, paradise, a world in peace - simply an existence in truth. In this regard, people's spirituality has taken on a new face in recent years and decades. From the more or less spiritualized, ritualized “faith,” a more lifelike, more direct “access” to “God” has emerged. Rainbow feeling in spirituality The rigid religious statutes have been softened, if you will, the “rainbow feeling” has returned to the previously possified, rigid construction of world religions. There is now “freedom of thought”. The Inquisition has been abolished. Another reason for the astonishing change can be found – quite astonishingly and gratifyingly – in the sciences. At the beginning of the 1960s, it was men like Nils Bohr, Heisenberg, Einstein, Dürr and many more, who brought the idea of quantum into play. The observer creates As we all know, one of the outstanding quintessences of this new - ancient – science, is the fact, that the observer influences the action. It was further recognized, that he even determines the result. We create our own, very private universe. We are the “sole” authors of our lives. “There is no outside.” Love must be creation In the following view we come to the conclusion, (in the truest sense of the word) that there is an “Absolute”, an all-encompassing, all-inclusive, all-pervasive “Absolute”, from which we ourselves causally come, whose direct “children” we are. In the further rapid step of understanding, it becomes apparent, that the only concept, that meets the requirements for an absolute, is love (in its real meaning).We are pure love Only love does not need an opponent to exist, everything else, including hate, always needs an opponent. Only love is solitary - like creation - exists on its own. So love and creation are one. That ALONE. This in turn means - in an impressively simple conclusion - that we, as human children, are the native sons and daughters of an absolute love - which can only ever be passed on as a whole. We are therefore pure love. Diametrically different This truth, this reality, is diametrically opposed to our alleged “reality” - what we have pieced together, from the fragments of information, we have acquired with our completely inadequate senses - this world of illusion. So for us, who “work” with the understanding system of the “body world”, reality is in a certain way “invisible”, not really tangible. Circumcised “thinking” We cannot grasp this “other world”, because our basic information is not designed for this type of understanding of communication. For this we need “A New Way of Thinking”. Because we lack the basic building blocks, that would allow an open, “honest,” real, truthful train of thought - our thinking is restricted, limited, curtailed by itself, by its manipulated, manipulative content. Frenzied movement in scoring Everything and anything in the physical world, from the building blocks of the atom to the expanding universes, is in constant, frantic motion. Also our thoughts. They circle in tireless potentiation of evaluation and judgment, creating new suffering and new prejudices. In a nutshell and clear – the path of meditation is the only path that leads behind, under and out of this “soundscape”. Meditation methodology The spiritual world disagrees as to which of the many different approaches to true immersion are the most promising. “The methodology” of the “deepened look at things” comes from the Eastern traditions. There was something adequate in Christianity - and there is also something in Islam - but it was never the center of those intellectual currents. Buddhism is the path of contemplation “Buddhism” in general, clearly sees the path to salvation in “contemplation,” the search for the self and its causes, the sources of suffering, that need to be resolved. One of the first transcriptions of the Lord Buddha's statements, more precisely the “Diamond Sutra”, deals with the type of meditation, that Buddha suggests to his sisters and brothers. The pulse of life as a mantra The “new thinking”, that we demand of ourselves, is an ancient one. The love of creation does not know the illusion of time – it “belongs” entirely to us – the physical world. The Buddha advised us, to use one's own life pulse as an instrument in contemplation, in order to get to ourselves, to the source, in a certain way "potently reflected". The path of meditation with our breath. Union of mind and body We “ride” our breath into ourselves. This is a very graphic description - but in fact, the goal is to become ONE with the breath, in its entirety, as it penetrates the entire body. A sacred union of body and mind. Towards an infinitely tender, equally holy silence of “things”. Transcending noise frequencies In this place of peace, the "negation" of the social noise frequency(s), we are able, to look ever more clearly at the structures of suffering, at the logical framework of dualistic understanding - we recognize its senseless potency.
“Everything, that has characteristicsis untrue and false.If you see all features as non-features,then you can see the Tathagata."
We are creators We are dreaming God. We create our universe. And this universe would be perfect, if we didn't think, we could make any change with our tiny fragments of knowledge. The only thing our action results in, is partial discord within ourselves. The “outside” doesn’t change at all – because it doesn’t exist. The “inner child” knows All meditation is supposed to be for us is a quiet place, away from this illusory social noise. We have the inner strength, the energy and, above all, the unbroken will, which has been ours since the beginning of time, into another, the real "world" - a judgment-free, value-free, peaceful, suffering-free "reality" - to change, to transcend the old perspective. The old “personality” dies It's so penetrating, simple, cathartic, relaxing - at least a break from the discomfort of the physical world. However, anyone, who wants to achieve knowledge of their own free will, without any effort on their part, lets their old personality, which is completely tied to social morality at all levels, die. There is no point in wasting your time doing yoga exercises and practicing rituals for hours. The truth finds you The truth is eons simpler. And it will reach you, it will come to you - if you only stay in the silence - of all thoughts described above, in free will, mindfully, in time. Far from all control mechanisms, far from what you think, you are and what defines you. You rise above it – alone. Your holy throne There is nothing separate. Everything is one. And you alone are the cause of this “one”. You are the creator of your universe. And you sit on this throne - because it is yours, and it stood empty and orphaned - because only you can sit on it. So now take the place, that you have always prepared for yourself in holiness! Don't hesitate another second! You know it! Cause and effect There exists - very simply - ultimately - only one, actually all-controlling principle - it is pervasive and the source. Namely cause and effect. If you do with your life, what you feel is good, from deep within, regardless of the circumstances - it's all about your own, unique, deep conviction - this good will also return to you. And this is about what you represent as a whole, not about individual, stray trains of thought. ConclusionIf you declare this attitude to be part of your existence, if you internalize it and live it - you have won. You are simply “realizing” the truth, that ABSOLUTELY nothing separates you from your brothers and sisters. They are your creations, as is your personality, your “I”, your “self”. “What you do to your brother, you do to me!” You are God.
Finding home
Misinformed
With a little distance in perspective, we are easily able to recognize, accept, and ultimately become “aware in change” that we are traveling in desperate ignorance, in the opposite direction of “home.” We spend all our energies and our supposed “understanding of the world” on this, with the sad result of ending up in a dead end. Wall of fears Our despair is reflected in the knowledge, that we are on the wrong path - and the fact, that our thinking is unable to formulate a way out, or, at least, roughly the "right" direction - because (our) social premises are always diametrically opposed to it. And they are so rigorous and penetrating - like a wall, made of granite blocks - that just the awareness of their existence (actually the beginning of conversion) makes us resign. The denial of love is time-bound Even, if this cognitive limit, installed by society, at times and pervasively individualistic, seems to be of such magnitude and weight, that, for countless people, only suicide appears as a way out (the sweet salvation through... Death) - it is nevertheless, - from an elevated perspective - clearly temporary. At some point in time, the longing for the old home, the desire for peace and actual love, is so strong, that the melody, that has been ignored for so long, is heard again.Just the wish is enough And if we, as thinking beings, only feel this desire for honest love, the promise of reality has been given to us for a long time, since the beginning of all universes - we recognize within ourselves the key to the gate. But, trapped in the behavioral logarithms of the judgmental system, it is impossible for us, to detect even the possibility of a tiny hole in this matrix of society, let alone the mighty, magnificent gate that actually exists there. Wrong direction However, it presents itself in a loving way, in such a way, that a path is shown, out of this blindness, a gentle way, into the here and now. This is the truth – a sacred truth. But, too many people take other paths. In their judgmental thinking, they have not yet come to the conclusion, that the lived tenderness of the love of creation outweighs everything material and that real joy can only be found here. EgotisticalIt is, one could put it, about value scaling. So it's about the question of what is important to us, in our lives. However, it is just as important, how we define this “important” and what basis we use to measure value. The first question, that the doubter asks quite rigorously (who could blame him?) is: What advantages does this bring me in my (not just material) situation? The second question: What are the disadvantages of the matter? Ego attack Painfully sober, this way of looking at things. But: “Behavioral logarithms of the evaluative system.” And the same construction ensures, that there are an infinite number of distractions, at all levels of awareness, that keep us at a safe distance from any truth (always linked to fear) - because the beginnings of knowledge are the beginning of the dissolution/transcendence of the ego. His death. What this - our “I” - naturally, urgently, seeks to prevent. There are more important things! So there will always be - latently - something that is more important. One would actually be inclined to formulate, that this is the quintessence of the lack of understanding of the absoluteness of the love of creation: “There are more important things!” What a mountain of “arrogance, ignorance, stupidity, naivety, enslavement, delusion, blindness, manipulation, shadow play” lies in this sentence! All the suffering in our world. Ladder available Now, this somewhat simply drawn picture of people, who “recognize” and those, who do not, is very relative, in view of the complexity, the cultural, scientific and philosophical currents of human “doing” - there are an unimagined number of “levels of understanding”. " - it is actually the case that - although this is the opposite of any true spiritual approach - there is a "hierarchy of understanding". Beginning of the understanding process An interesting question in this context - and certainly beneficial for further discourse – is, what probably sounds “first” in the “understanding process”, the old knowledge of love. Well – it is the (hidden) certainty, that there is a “solution” to the doubt, that always accompanies us, throughout our existence, the question, about the meaning of life, the “worldly pain”. Our path of understanding is nothing other than a resolution of all the complexities in our existence, that completely block the view of this meaning. More than understand When it says “understand”, what is meant, is an “internalization” – much more, than pure intellectual understanding – which even Rilke can judge based on his semantics. As long, as our granite wall of judgmental thinking, built from blocks of free will, as long as thinking generally focused on consumption, distraction, enjoyment, material gain, and thus also the “awareness” of a separation from a loving creation unit, guides us, we are further, caught in a sad cycle of suffering. Purely intellectual (in)understanding And in fact, it is also the case, that any concept, no matter how “sacred”, can be understood purely intellectually – up to a certain point. This goes so far, that someone would be perfectly capable of describing the basis for walking on the path - meaning, "acting" as a "teacher" - without really having their "heart" in it. Or even (not uncommonly) with diametrically opposed objectives. The whole thing is then called, among other, even more “evil” excesses/approaches, “esotericism”. Part of the wave The “path” to “home”, towards (whatever) “salvation” is holistic. If we look, at what gigantic, positivistic, truthful forces are at work here on the side of creation - we are holistically concerned with a "wave" of opening levels of consciousness - it becomes clear, that the "point in time" at which the ancient, eternal, definition-free, completely holy, (because ABSOLUTE, i.e. also all-pervasive) UNDERSTANDING, becoming the general consensus, is not too far away anymore. Scientifically proven There is a truly outstanding argument for this “thesis”. Our modern spirituality - this represents a truly great symbol - a uniqueness in our universes, so to speak - can make use of current scientific knowledge. Quantum mechanics confirms the quintessence of any religious approach. There has not been such a fascinating consensus since the natural regulations of our Stone Age ancestors lost their real meaning. Ignorance is the enemy What also becomes abundantly clear here, however, is the “ignorance” of the ego thought system, that still dominates our existence. Because - although things like immortality, or, for example, the definition complex of the "historical dimension", ("body world") that comes from the Buddhist world of thought, are now perfectly defined and proven in scientific argumentation, they are in the "social consensus of thought" (the alleged reality) is simply denied, ignored, simply not acknowledged. The taste of Kiwi A great Zen master once described the cognitive denial of the idea of absolute love very simply as trying to explain the taste of a Kiwi to someone. This is as simple as it is true. Taste is pervasively individualistic, in a certain form hierarchical, just as is the understanding of vocabulary, the intellectual processing of communication in individual parables. A purely “scientific” explanation will never be effective and will never enable a satisfactory, holistic “understanding” of the kiwi taste. ConclusionThe understanding. A gift that everyone will receive. So we open the fruit - which is given to us at the right moment - and taste it. The “Holy Moment”, the “Enlightenment”, the “Final Understanding”. This is a liberation of such monstrous proportions, that there simply cannot be words for it. Such a gigantic “Oh!”, that any other argument simply disappears. Love. Joy. Complete freedom from fear. A hundred thousand attributes of real, true life, of creation love, tenderly envelop you. This is a concern for your home. You are home. In the here and now.
"Who am I?"
“You are what you are not.”
Basic Buddhist truth - Understanding this mystical wisdom - from the fundamental works of the Lord Buddha - may be the key to a gate, that remains closed to all fear. Such understanding inevitably grows from the lived practice of a spirituality, that aims at holy mindfulness. IndividualThere is nothing - about us, with us and in us - that has the slightest thing to do with any kind of individuality. And yet we are, in an absolute sense, completely wonderful, the individual in itself. But just as the flower is not even a flower - and does not consist of flower parts - but rather of “non-flower particles” that then make up the flower, so we as animals consist of non-animal-parts. As human beings, as we are, created from what we are not, into an “I”. You are interunion Any “something” arises from the “not-something”, that constitutes it, that defines it. This means quite clearly and wonderfully, that there is an “inter-being”, a “union of being”. The cosmic aloneness. As humans, the way we “are”, we are created from what we are not – into an “I”. The cosmic man. This is the completely filled AllOne.You are cosmos A wave - it is undoubtedly a wave - but it is also the ocean, is at the same time just like all other waves, is connected to them, is an ocean body. So it is a wave and an ocean body. Likewise, man - he is what he is not as a human being in order to be human - he is human and cosmos / cosmic body / cosmic human. Wave and ocean. So this is, what we really are, shining brightly: cosmic human beings. Positively versatile This has enormous significance! Because, it is clear, we can transform ourselves, the circumstances, the well-being of others, into something happy and positive. In our meditation we recognize the suffering and all the worries - all these things like greed, anger, - the attack and the defense - all of which are defined in the non-ego and arise from it. We see this, in true mindfulness, in the awareness of wholeness, accept it, embrace it and comfort it. Heal. Transform. Dissolve. Actively positivize the not-something The not-something, the “not I”, as a non-wave, as a non-flower, out of which we recognize the flower as composed - which becomes something. Then, with this show, the possibility - and here/so, to positively change, what turns this “not something” into “something”. A practitioner, who internalizes this, lives with the happy, fearless certainty of being helpful through his “being” – in complete holistic embrace.Change is possible This means, that we can actually change something! Because, on this level, of complete “neutralism”, we are all together, we are united. We are completely incapable of affecting “something” just for ourselves, in any supposedly individual form, because, that happens “over/through” the all-one, the cosmic. If you are now still able to recognize, that the absolute through which that “not-something”, that cosmic body, is characterized/defined – means that in a completely concrete way only YOU are this not-something, this cosmic body – then you also understand that YOU are a dreaming God. In the mindful awareness of the cosmic body, the awareness of the “ocean body,” we find ourselves able to look at, recognize, accept, and comfortingly embrace our suffering. In this timeless “interstate”, which is merely reality, we can recognize our problems - and also the suffering of others, the global community per se - and begin to heal them. ConclusionEvery practitioner, everyone, who sets out on the path of the Buddha - who knows no hierarchies and no differences - contributes with their own healing, which they achieve in mindfulness, deeply conscious, attentive meditation - whether sitting, lying down, walking or Standing - can experience, contributes to a growing now-awareness, the happiness of every conscious being. Together we can alleviate the suffering of the world.
