On the Nature of Sensitivity and Beauty

Look at all the birds, the trees, and at the dirty streets. Look at people. Look at your parents and teachers; notice how they talk to you, what kind of words they use.

If you as an Idler are aware, you will see, that the body has its own intelligence

Let us observe the dullness, for instance in the morning, when you get up and feel terrible indolent, without feeling like doing rather much.

Why has the body become dull? Probably you have eaten too much. The last day and night you have probably – subconscious - done all kinds of stuff in order to make the body worried and lazy. And the body says: ”For god´s sake, let me be in peace for a while!” But then you will swing the whip over it, force it to be active.

But you don´t change your way of living, you will rather take a pill in order to become active.

However, if you as an Idler are aware, you will see, that the body has its own intelligence.

It requires more than a little reason to be the body´s intelligence present. You force it, you push around with it. You are used to too much meat, you drink, smoke and all the other things you very well know, but which you do nothing for in order to change.

And therefore the body loses its own original organic intelligence.

In order to, that the body can act in an intelligent way, the mind must become rational, and it must not intervene and disturb the body.

If you are the body present in passive listening, you will see how the dullness altogether changes.

When the mind seeks to control the body, and suppress the senses, it makes the body insensitive

The mind not should seek to control the body.

The mind can perhaps control the body, and suppress the senses, but thereby the mind makes the body insensitive; and an insensitive body becomes a hindrance for the own full unfolding of the mind.

To restrain the body certainly doesn´t serve the investigation of the deeper layers of consciousness. This is only possible when there doesn't exist a conflict between the mind, the feelings and the body.

It is only possible when they are complete, and in mutual harmony, and are this in an effortless way, without becoming drifted to it by some specific images of life, a particular conception, belief or ideal.

All thought-activity is the historical limitation´s action and reaction

Man – the body, the nerves, the mind – is limited by the climate he lives in, by the whole of his social, religious and economical environment, by his experiences, the education he has got, by family influences and the demands, which have been given to him.

All these are factors, which limit Man historical. Our conscious and subconscious reactions to all the influences of the environment – intellectual, emotional, outside and inner – these reactions are, each and every one, actions, which emanate from our historical limitation.

Language is historical limitation; all thought-activity is the historical limitation´s action and reaction.

What happens if the thought is quiet?

The quality of compassion and love must come to expression in different kinds of bodily activity

The quality of compassion and love must come to expression in different kinds of bodily activity.

Already from we are quite young we ought to work in the garden, learn to do carpentry, paint, write poems, weave, take care of an animal etc.

And through the senses – we must observe the trees, the mountains, the richness of the Earth, the poverty humans have created in the world.

And we must listen to classical music, bird song, the murmur from a stream.

If the body isn´t healthy and strong, it will inevitably distort the thought, and contribute to insensibility

It is not only the clarity of the mind, the reason, and the emotional sensitivity, we must develop, also a complete development of the body is a necessity; a thing, we all the time must lay us in mind.

Because if the body isn´t healthy and strong, it will inevitably distort the thought, and contribute to insensibility.

This is beyond any doubt, wherefore we don´t have to discuss it in details.

It is absolutely required that the body is healthy, that it gets the right food and enough rest.

If the senses aren´t awake, then the body will hinder the complete development of Man.

When giving something a name it becomes permanent, and then we have the whole of the thoughtprocess

The feeling of the permanent consists in the condensed reactions; that is: the body, the feeling, the perception, the desires, and the consciousness.

The feeling arises as a result of a challenge, and then you give it a name, which will say that you identify yourself with it.

This, that we give it a name, restores the feeling in our images of life, the past pattern, which repeats itself again and again, which maintains the reactions and condenses them. Consequently an aspect of Man as a natural being.

If you don´t give the feeling a name - which will say, that you don't identify yourself with it and maintain it through evaluations - then the feeling is new, and it will disappear by itself.

If it gets a name, it will gain strength, it will become permanent, and then we have the whole of the thoughtprocess.
