We need a philosophical life-teaching and practice

We need that philosophical life-teaching and and pratice, which is offered in philosophical counseling.

There is a need of philosophers who partly are university educated, partly have a philosophical life-practice; that is to say: philosophers who - like Socrates, the Stoics, the Epicureans, and the philosophers in the East - are and live what they think and teach, true teachers, whose thinking is made transparent in being, and who consequently live what they teach.

Existential movement is connected with Man, with identity and personality

We know movement and change from the outside world.

Existential movement is connected with Man, with identity and personality.

It arises in the individual person´s relationships with the surrounding world.

Movement has to do with human growth and development; it is to be integrated in something which happens, not in whatever, but in something which folds the essence of Man out, contrary to stagnation and paralysation.

It is to have your identity with you in a movement which fills you, enriches you, favours you, promotes you.
Movement is to be involved.

It is an ontological phenomenon, a characteristic of being, not a phenomenon of the mind.

Children´s nature is much more watchful, much more curious and eager to learn

Philosophy begins with, that human beings are wondering.

We all know, how curious children are.

Children want to know something and see much more, than the adults do, they catch sight of things, which the adults not even put notice to.

Children´s nature is much more watchful, much more curious and eager to learn.

They are lost in being.

It is therefore children have so easy learning maths, geography or whatever subject.

When we become older, our mind progressively becomes crystalized, it stiffens, becomes heavy and dull.

We stagnate.

We begin to have prejudices about everything and everybody.

The mind is no longer open, to any problem we have taken position in advance.

We are lost in becoming, or in the will to power.

Just like the solution to a problem is lying in the problem itself, thus reality is to find in what you are

Reality can´t come to that, which will become something, which strive after something, the will to power, the absent.

It is only able to come to that, which is being, that, which understand what you are, the present.

Then you will see that reality is not something afar, the unknown is not far away, it is in what you are.

Just like the solution to a problem is lying in the problem itself, thus is reality to find in what you are.

If you can understand this, you will know truth.

Anxiety is to have your identity in an absence, in the constant becoming something

Anxiety is to have your identity in an absence, in the constant becoming something. In this self-production there is no being.

Anxiety is therefore anxiety of nothing, anxiety of an uncertain threat.

The uncertain threat paralyses the identity, precisely because it is uncertain.

The inhibition in the anxiety is lying in the paralysation. Because the identity is paralysed in the anxiety, it is suspended.

The hold, the grip of the world, which the identity is, is suspended.

Anxiety is therefore an experience of an identity crisis. The whole of the situation is paralysed, and the space narrows around you.

To be interested in something is not the same as self-assertion

We can add to the word ”self-assertion” multifold meanings. In art of life self-assertion is based on becoming something, and therefore anxiety.

But if a boy for instance is interested in becoming an engineer, because he is inclined towards raising beautiful buildings, to create wonderful bridges, to build excellent roads, then this is because he loves that act; and that is not self-assertion.

It is an expression of what he is, and therefore there is no anxiety.

In love there is no anxiety.
