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.

Merely to get information or knowledge is not to learn in philosophical sense

The function of the mind is to investigate and learn.

To learn in philosophical sense doesn´t only mean to cultivate the memory, or to accumulate knowledge, but to learn to think clearly and rational without illusions, to start with facts and not with beliefs and ideals.

When the thought originates from the conclusion, you learn nothing.

Merely to get information or knowledge is not to learn in philosophical sense.

To learn in philosophical sense includes love of understanding, and doing a thing for its own guilt.

Is there at all any conflict when you are yourself present, and understand what you are?

Can your mind stop dividing - by placing ifself outside, and being absent in ideals - and instead be yourself present, remain what you are?

Is there at all any conflict when you are yourself present, and understand what you are?

As long as Man lives in the corridor of opposites, he will inevitably waste his energy

If you, not as an abstraction, but actually, can push all ideals aside and only concern yourself with the facts – which is for example is violence – there happens no waste of energy.

As long as Man lives in the corridor of opposites, he will inevitably waste his energy, and in that way he can´t change.

You must therefore as a Life Artist sweep all ideals, all opposites, aside.

If you see the self-contradictory in an ideal, then the actual thing that you see it, is a rational action

If you see the self-contradictory in an ideal, then the actual thing that you see it, is a rational action.

To be the contradiction present is therefore to clean the mind for the contradiction, and this is to act.

It is fairly obvious, that there is conflict in the world because there is ruling discord in ourselves

It is fairly obvious, that there is conflict in the world because there is ruling discord in ourselves; a discord which shows itself outwards in society, in the Ego´s, and the other´s, activity.

Our images of life are filled with contradictions; that is to say: the Ego with its competitive lust and anxiety, and the other, which can be the ideal about living without conflict.

Herein there are a lot of mutual contradictory wishes, goals and initiatives.

If we are aware of this tension, we can in ourselves see how mutual contradictory desires, opposite assumptions, ideas and goals, move in separately directions.

Constantly Man seeks to build bridge between what you are and what you ought to be

The person, who only has some images of life, but no philosophical life-practice, seeks to build bridge between the Ego and something else; the Ego, with all its ambitions, initiatives and contradictions, and the other, which either is the ideal, the formula, the concept, or the society.

Constantly Man seeks to build bridge between what you are and what you ought to be.

And precisely herein there is contradiction and conflict, and therefore all energy, vitality, and urge to live, are wasted.
