Self-forgetful thinking is thinking which is one with the Now, with the facts, with reality

Usually the thinking is a self-producing process; that is: the process where the thinking creates the reality of the self-image and the world-image, and therewith, the separation of the observer and the observed.

When the Ego is standing in the centre, then the whole of our life, the whole of our perspective on life - rests on the choices we make, and the desire in this process, the movement of time where we are seeking to achieve something, become something, acquire something.

Self-forgetful thinking is thinking, which releases itself from time, because through time the timeless can´t be grasped.

The timeless is the Now, and self-forgetful thinking is thinking which is one with the Now, with the facts, with reality.

That way self-forgetful thinking is not based on the personal or collective images of time, which work in sequences in past or future, but on the universal images, which work in synchronism with the Now.

Death is the landscape which meditation enters into

When we speak about life we usually mean life as a continuation-process, where there happens an identification.

When we say life, we often mean I and my house, I and my wife, I and my bank account, I and the experiences I have collected.

To live is therefore a process whereby something is continued in memory, conscious as unconscious, with the multifold struggles of the process, all the quarrels, episodes, experiences. It is all this we call life.

Opposite is standing death, which means, that all this is being brought to an end.

Therefore, we create an opposition, life and death. Life is the known, the perspective we have created on the background of the images of time. Death is the unknown, the landscape that can't be mapped.

This landscape is what meditation enters into.

As long as we don´t understand the will to power, there will necessarily rule conflict

The images in time, both the personal and collective images (therefore the whole of mankind´s storeroom of belief and knowledge - the Akashic Records) are the common human structure of consciousness, the recognition-processes which form the inner calculator, the Ego, which is driven by the will to power.

And as long as we don´t understand the process of the will to power, where it works from our belief and knowledge, there will necessarily rule quarrel, conflict, sorrow, and humans will be turned against humans – and this is after all what we every day are witnesses to.

If you therefore as an Idler realize - that is to say: if you are enough aware - that this process forms yourself from a belief, as an expression of the desire for inner safety, then your problem isn´t that you should believe this or that, but that you should disentangle yourself from the desire after safety.

Can the mind then disentangle from the wish for safety?

This is the problem, and not what you should believe, or how much you should believe. That would only be an expression of the urge for philosophical safety; that is: being convinced about something, when you don´t have any philosophical life-teaching and practice, and everything else in world is uncertain.

Each experience leave marks, which are accumulating day by day, and they become the images of time

We constantly have many experiences. Either we are conscious about it, or we are not aware about it.

Each experience leaves a mark; these marks are accumulating day by day, and they become the images in time.

The images in time are weaved by the reactions. They are answers to the challenges and questions of existence. Someone offends you, and at that very moment you have created an image of this other person. He is evil. Or a person is flattering you, and again an image is created. He is good. In this way, any reaction inevitably creates an image.

The question of the Life Artist becomes whether it is possible to erase it, after it has been created?

The Ego is tied to time and its images

The memory consits of multifold experiences, which have been named, identified, and it is this process, which creates the Ego, the inner spectator, theorist, doubter.

The Ego is tied to time and its images.

To Man himself there isn´t a special Western or Eastern way of thinking, but the individual creates these divisions

The division of human beings, in for instance Westerners and Orientals, is only geographical determined and entirely random.

It has no essential importance. Whether we live east or west for a certain border, whether we are brown, dark, white or yellow, then we all still are human beings who are suffering and hoping, fearing and believing: there is unhappiness and happiness here as well as there.

There is not a special Western or Eastern way of thinking when it comes to Man, but the individual person creates these divisions on the basis of his background, which is limited by the images of time.

Only in silence you can begin to discover deeper layers of yourself

Awareness consists in, that you observe neutral as in a mirror, without saying yes and no.

Passion consists in feeling deeply and incisively, without seeking to achieve anything with it.

In the passive listening presence you are letting the thinking be in calmness in longer periods, you are letting the space between the thoughts expand more and more.

Only in this silence you can begin to discover deeper layers of yourself, layers which have to do with the images of time - your perspective on yourself and the world – and which, through this voyage of discovery, open themselves from the personal, to the more collective and universal, and finally, to reality and truth.
