The prompting gets discovery to function


If your real interest not yet has become awakened, and if the prompting to find out is present, then you will find out, not by constantly seeking after an answer, but to be inquring, clear and warm in your prompting.

Then you will see, that when you are awake, there is a sharpened attention in which you receive any hints from the hidden interest, and that dreams also play a part.

In other words: the prompting gets the mechanism of discovery to function.

If you deny the possibility of complete freedom, you deny that you at all can investigate, inquire or discover


Far most humans only know two answers to the question about whether the mind can be completely free. Either they say that it is impossible; they say, that the human mind under any circumstance must let ifself be limited historical. Or else they begin to dream from one or the other romantic image. In both cases it is the thought, which is the answer.

Philosophical counseling offers a third option, the art of life, the existential training of the mind and the heart, where Man as a Life Artist begins to experiment, to investigate, to discover his existence as a whole.

If you from the start claim that it is impossible, you have of course not any chance of breaking through.

That you claim this can be due to, that your experience is very small or very large, or it can just be a faith, which you are accepting. But when you claim this, then it means that you deny that you at all can seek anything, that you at all can investigate, inquire or discover anything.

You deny the actual possibility of philosophy.

Contrary to religion and politics, philosophy doesn't give answers, but asks questions


It is immensely important to ask questions; not only because you thereby expose your inner, but by questioning philosophical, by training the mind and the heart existential, you find the answer yourself. 

If you ask the right question, the right answer is lying in the question. 

Contrary to religion and politics, philosophy in this way doesn't give answers, but asks questions.

The Life Artist must be critical towards everything in life, your short or long hair, your dress, the way whereon you walk, the way whereon you eat, what you think, what you feel, what other people say– everything must be looked at in the critical light, where you neither justifies or condemns.

Then the mind becomes extraordinary sensitive, alive and reasonable. And such a mind allows life to flow back to the present, where the heart opens itself in love.

Only such a mind knows what a happy and real life is.
