Anxiety is the whole thing, and it is this wholeness you must be aware of



What is anxiety?

You have the anxiety, and you have the mind, which says: ”There must not be anxiety!”

In this way a doubleness arises.

There is the observer who places himself outside the anxiety, and makes resistance against it, sucks energy and life away from the present and into condemnation, justification, comparison; the observer who analyses, theorizes, or goes to a psychotherapist.

And there is the observed. The observed is the anxiety, and the observer places himself outside this anxiety.

In this way there immediately arises a conflict between the anxiety and the observer who is in progress with defeating this anxiety, in getting rid of this anxiety.

In other words there is resistance, which has been produced by an inner spectator, doubter or calculator, who creates a discrepancy between the observer and the observed.

Anxiety is the whole thing, and it is this wholeness you must be aware of.

The thought is a result of the past which uses the present as a passage to the future


The mind is a result of the past, which is based on time and its images.

Without the past there is no thought. 

But the thought, which is a result of the past, can't understand the present, since it only uses the present as a passage to the future.

The future is in this way always a becoming.

As Pascal claims, then the present is therefore never seized, though the understanding exclusively is lying herein.

The mind, which is passively aware, allows life and energy to flow into presence and reality


In order to be able to see truth you must be able to feel, you must be endowed by passion after discovering, and having a great energy.

When you observe a cloud and the light in this cloud, then there is beauty. Beauty is passion. In order to, that you can see the beauty in a cloud, or the beauty in the light on a tree, there must be passion, there must be intensity.

In this intensity - this passion - there is no sympathy or antipathy at all, and therefore not the feelings, which follow these.

The intensity is not personal, not yours or mine.

When there is lust there is yours or mine.

But the mind, which is passively aware, allows life and energy to flow back from the past and the future, into presence and reality.

The energy and the life, which are invested in sorrows and bindings, plans and problems, are flowing in, filling the Now, increasing the intensity and the consciousness in the Now.

We must understand ourselves as we are momentarily, without collecting experiences


In order to create a fundamental philosophical revolution in yourself, you must understand the processes of the thoughts, and of the feelings, as they reflect themselves in the relationship with others.

This is the only solution to all our problems – not to subject us more kinds of discipline, more kinds of beliefs or ideologies, or to find more spiritual teachers.

If we understand ourselves as we are momentarily, without collecting experiences - that is to say: meditative-existential - then you can experience a peace, which is not a thought-product, a peace that neither is fantasy or a condition we grow; and only in the condition of peace there can be creation.

When the thought-activity falls to calmness, the inexhaustible begins


The trained Life Artist can in himself observe how the mind´s designation happens almost at the same time as his reaction to a challenge.

The interspace - which exists between the reaction and the designation - is the observing state.

The observing state, in which you are one with the observed - where there no displacement or distortions are between the observer and the observed, but where you are in the middle of the actual - in this state there is no conflict.

The conflict is a concentration of the Ego, which places itself outside in analyses and evaluations.

But when the conflict ends, the thought-activity falls to calmness, and the inexhaustible begins.
