The existent postmodern chaos, which we call freedom and democracy, doesn´t need new leaders

The philosophical counselor can draw attention to this fact, that we let us lead, that we are lacking the ability ourselves to think, the ability ourselves to live right.

We are dependent of, that someone tells us how we shall act, and what we shall think.

The whole of our system of upbringing is based on, what we shall think, and not how we shall think, and therefore we need leaders.

But the existent postmodern chaos, which we call freedom and democracy, doesn´t need new leaders. It demands something completely different; that will say: any person must himself become a light, not being dependent on any other, in philosophical sense.

To change the mind of Man requires a philosophical revolution

When all this is seen – the wars, the unreasonable dividings, which the religions have created, the division which exists between the individual person and the society, the family, which is opposed to the rest of the world, each individual person, who clings to some personal or collective images, and divide himself in ”me” and ”you”, ”us” and ”them” – when all this is seen, both in objectively and in philosophical sense, then only one question is remaining, one essential problem, and that is whether the mind of Man, which in high degree is limited by its historical background, its personal or collective images, can change.

Not in a future incarnation, not through political development, not when life ends, but radically change now, so that Man enters into a creative emptiness, where the mind become new, fresh, young, innocent, released from its images, so that it knows what love is, and what it is to live in peace.

It requires a philosophical revolution.

What is important for the Philosophical Globetrotter is not that which should be, or that which could be

What is important for the Philosophical Globetrotter is not that which should be, or that which could be, nor what principle you ought to follow, what kinds of ideals you ought to have, or to what religion, or what political party, you ought to belong to. It is clear, that all such reactions altogether are meaningless when you are facing the confusion, the need, misery and continual conflict, in which we live.

The malfunction of the mind is ideology

All models of society have had terrible consequences because they, in the under evaluation of other influences than the historical, create an imbalance.

They confuse personal and collective images with reality.

The simplest expression of this malfunction of the human mind - which this bring about - is the concept of ideology.

What is important is not what should be, or what could be

What is important for the life artist is not that which should be, or that which could be, nor what principle you ought to follow, what kinds of ideals you ought to have, or to what religion, or what political party you ought to belong to.

It is clear, that all such reactions altogether are meaningless when you are facing the confusion, the need, misery and continous conflict, in which we live.

Self-realization is not the desire after self-realization

Why shall we necessarily have what we want?

Is it not because we think we have the right for it?

In political philosophy they have made much out of claiming that the right of ownership is a "natural" right, whereby you can justify waste and exploitation.

There are pieces of Rold Forest which are "private" where other people not are allowed entrance.

Other "rich" people can buy a star or a planet if rich enough (I wonder -  if there are people living there - they would agree with that).

I just wait to see that the air I breath, that a bird´s song in the morning, and my mommy´s love, now have become the right of ownership by some "rich" guy, which I therefore not are allowed entrance to anymore.

A bit in the same way they have claimed, that conclict is something "natural", whereby you can justify violence and war.

And the ideology of needs is claiming the same: the desire after satisfying your needs, not only your basic needs, but also esteem-needs and self-actualizing needs, is something entirely "natural" and a human right.

The problem is that there is a difference between actually being a self-realized person and the desire after being such a person.

To reduce the whole thing to needs is a distortion of what self-realization is all about.

When you are the situations present it is possible to reach beyond them

In order to be able to discover something, you must observe yourself, but not on the bases of a certain image of life, or a certain thought-system, nor from some certain political or religious viewpoint.

You must completely reject all this, so that the mind is free and is able to be aware of itself in relation with the society, in relation with ourselves, with our families, with our neighbour.

When you are the situations present it is possible to reach beyond them.

In order to understand yourself you must understand that Man is an inviolable whole

In order to understand yourself you must understand that Man is an inviolable whole, not only a determined being, as for instance a society being with his particular assigned job: a worker, a citizen, a consumer, or a political being, right wing or leftist, or a religious being, Christian, Moslem, Jew, - but a complete whole in which an interaction and a reciprocity takes place.

The Life Artist is a philosophical rebel

The Life Artist can´t accept handed down truths.

You must begin to be critical, inquiring and discovering.

But you can nothing examine if you inwards are afraid.

To be critical is equivalent with revolt in philosophical sense, and that will say to create a new world.

The Life Artist is a philosophical rebel.

What you are coming up against is the politicians, who don't want us to revolt, because they want to control us, they want to model and form us, so we can fit into their ideological patterns; and as long as that is happening, life will remain being a torment.

We have solved almost all technical problems, but at the same time human problems still flourish

We today have a peculiar situation.

We have solved almost all technical problems, a number of countries have democracy with large political freedom, but at the same time the human problems still flourish, and the attempt to solve them technically, seems to have brought about a condition of total confusion, of fragmentation, decay of values, consumerism.

A condition, which is spreading globally.

To be critical is equivalent with revolt in philosophical sense

As a Life Artist you can´t accept handed down truths.

You must begin to be critical, inquiring and discovering.

But you can´t examine anything if you inwards are afraid.

To be critical is equivalent with revolt in philosophical sense, and that will say to create a new world.

The Life Artist is a philosophical rebel.

What you are coming up against is the politicians, who don't want us to revolt, because they want to control us, they want to model and form us, so we can fit into their ideological patterns; and as long as that is happening, life will remain being a torment.

If the thinker is the thought present in passive listening, then this will be a presence of clarity

Far most people think that the thinker is separate from the thought – and it is precisely this, that all the images in time, all the theories, ideas, religious persuasions, political ideologies, etc., are based on.

But when the thinker places himself outside the thought, the problem will continue.

However if the thinker is the thought present in passive listening, then this will be a presence of something, which not is hidden.

It is a presence of something obviously, something you have a clear understanding of. 

It is a presence of something straightforward, a presence in naturalness.

And herein you will become released from the source of all problems.

Can the mind of Man - which in high degree is limited by its personal or collective images – change?

When all this is seen – the wars, the unreasonable dividings, which the religions have created, the division which exists between the individual person and the society, the family, which is opposed to the rest of the world, each individual person, who clings to some personal or collective images, and divide himself in ”me” and ”you”, ”us” and ”them” – when all this is seen, both in objectively and in philosophical sense, then only one question is remaining, one essential problem, and that is whether the mind of Man, which in high degree is limited by its historical background, its personal or collective images, can change.
