The layers of consciousness are the separation of the observer and the observed


The consciousness has many, many layers.

These layers are the separation of the observer and the observed, they are the disproportion between the observer and the observed, where emptiness and loss slide in between, creating a myriad of reflections, displacements and distortions.

These displacements can be hidden motives, chases, worries, fears, painful disappointments, which originate from an even deeper world of images.

Disproportions are time, the thinking´s past and future, which make the Now´s facts into problems.

These layers can in symbolic form project themselves to the conscious mind, and when the mind then awakes, it says: ”I have dreamt!”

Freedom of choice is impossible, because it is the thinking, which is active when you are choosing


The thought is never completely free because it has its roots in the past, which again is based on both personal and collective images.

The thought is therefore never new.

Freedom of choice is therefore impossible, because it is the thinking, which is active when you are choosing.

The freedom, which exists when you make true discoveries, is not freedom to do what you want, or freedom to unfold, to become something, choosing, or freedom to think what you want, or act after your wishes.

You are beside yourself, away from the subconscious, by being away in the conscious


Why does this division arise, between - on the one hand the conscious mind, which is wrapped up in its daily activities, worries, problems, superficial pleasures, earning one's living etc. - and, on the other hand, the deeper lying layers of the same mind, with all its hidden motives, its initiatives, its enforcing demands, its anxiety-conceptions? Why is there this division?

This division exists because we are so occupied, on the surface, by continual talking, the continual demand, on the surface, about amusement, entertainment, both of religious and of other kind.

This means that you become yourself absent, you are the deeper layers of your own mind absent.

And absence is unreality. Unreality is absence of something for the individual hidden. It is a specific condition, an emptiness, a being outside.

There is a displacement, or distortion, between the conscious and the subconscious; emptiness and loss slide in between, create reflections, displacement and darkness.

You are decentralized, beside yourself, away from the subconscious, by being away in the conscious. You are locked off from the subconscious, by being locked inside the conscious.

And this superficial mind can impossible go into depth, enter yourself, as long as this division is going on.

In any challenge you can hear the eternal Thou ask: ”Where are you in thy life?”


In any challenge you can - if you open yourself for it, and, in complete silence listen to the call of the Thou - hear the eternal Thou ask: ”Where are you in thy life?”

And by observing your reaction - that is to say: see your destiny in the eyes and discover yourself - you can answer: ”Here I am in my life, this is what I am!”

That which is truth in reality and presence, is symbolic in unreality and absence


Symbols from the universal images are formed in the transition from the wholeness of the observer and the observed, to the separation of the observer and the observed.

What reality in itself contains, is real in this dimension, not symbolic, not linguistical.

But when reality becomes unreality in the separation of the observer and the observed, it narrows, loses clarity and light, is being muted to the split consciousness, and that – which in reality was truth – will transmute itself to symbols.

That which is truth in reality and presence, is symbolic in unreality and absence.

It is therefore very difficult for the universal images to communicate themselves to an ordinary absent consciousness.

It requires, that you yourself do your part of the work.

To live a life characterized by reason, requires that mind and the body are awake and sensitive


It is important that we look the facts in the eyes, meet what you are momentarily without theorizing over it.

Above all it is important to live reasonable.

To live a life which is characterized by the utmost reason, requires that the mind and the body are extraordinary awake and sensitive.

But we have destroyed the body´s awakenness with unnatural lifeforms.

We also destroy the mind, the reason and the clearness, through conflict, through continuous suppressions, and hereupon following explosions and acts of violence.

If you sometimes decide to write down all thoughts, you will discover, that there happens something strange


If you from time to time, every day, decide to write down all thoughts, even the most banal and stupid, the shameful as well as the comfortable, then you will, how little it may succeed at first, soon discover, that there happens something strange.

Since you don´t have time to write each thought and feeling down, because you have something else to do, you discover, that somewhere in the consciousness, all thoughts and feelings are stored.

In spite of the fact, that you not directly use the whole of your awareness to write, you are nevertheless inner aware, and when you again have time to write, you discover, that what is kept in the consciousness, rises to the surface.

Not to accumulate, but to die every day, minutely, is timeless being


To stop becoming something is to stop accumulating in philosophical sense.

Not to accumulate, but to die every day, minutely, is timeless being.

The mystics call it a kind of death.

The Stoics trained themselves in being present in the Now by philosophizing over the meaning of death in their lives.

To philosophize became in that way, for the Stoics, a way of learning how to die.

An example of this is the Stoic Horace, the man behind the expression ”Carpe diem!” (Seize the day!).

Happy is the one, who is able to meet life completely and directly in all fields


The challenges of life don´t meet us in a single area.

Life doesn´t take place only in, for instance the economical and political area.

Life is relationships within different areas, where it gives itself multifold expressions.

Happy is the one, who is able to meet life completely and directly in all fields.

Such a meeting can be characterized as that, which the Danish life-philosopher Løgstrup, calls a sovereign life-expression.

The sovereign life-expressions are among other things: love, mercifulness, trust and the openness of the speech.

Being together breaks down without trust, the speech is being distorted without openness, and becomes superficial or dishonest.
