Unreality is defined from something, or in opposition to something, namely reality

The absence weaves images, because emptiness and loss slide in between.

Unreality is emptiness, absence, that to be outside.

The concept absence indicates, that the unreality not is any emptiness, but an emptiness in relation to something defined.

It is the absence of something.

Unreality is defined from something, or in opposition to something, namely reality.

And the unreal life is lying under for a constant tendency to fill it up.

The emptiness has to be camouflaged, covered, forced out.

You must keep the world together. And this you do by creating language or images.

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?

There is only mutual connection with the observed when there isn´t any inner observer and calculator

Truth is coming when there is a non-linguistic presence, an observance and a love, which are without conclusions, without explanations, without words.

The inner spectator, theorist or doubter, are constructed by words, which again are manifestations of a self-image.

The Ego consists of explanations, conclusions, condemnations, justifications etc.

There is only mutual connection with the observed when there isn´t any inner observer and calculator, when you in self-forgetful way are open for, and engaged in, the observed.

Only then there is understanding, freedom from the problem.

The task for the Life Artist is about discriminating between language and reality

The task for the Life Artist is about discriminating between language and reality.

The Dominican mystics call this steps discriminatio, the ability to discriminate between how the energy is used temporal or religious.

And despite what kinds of visions you may have, then it is still something temporal, or relatively.

The Orientals call it viveka, discrimination, the ability to use your will on that part of the energy, you can steer yourself, and steer it towards exercises, prayer, mantras, meditation, instead of towards career, worldliness, self-unfolding, as the self-help industry is teaching people to do.

That which is finished is subject for renewal, while that which continues is of time

Our common everyday thinking is a self-producing way of thinking, it is the whole of the mind´s stream of words, images, feelings, sensations, intuitions, inner monologues, comments, logical reasoning, memories, plans, etc. etc.,  - which all are about becoming something and achieving something, and which therefore is controlled by the will to power.

This way of thinking is not renewing itself, but is repeating the same themes again and again, because it is not completed, not finished.

It is the eternal recurrence of the same, where you preserve the thoughts in a linguistic form.

Something of the most difficult is to communicate with another person

We must linguistically communicate to each other, that is obvious, but it is for instance Martin Buber´s intention to show, that we can communicate on a much deeper plane; that is: not only linguistically, but in solidarity, where two parts meet on the same plane with the same intensity, with the same passion; only then there is real solidarity, and that is much more important than sheer communication.

There is only mutual connection with the observed when there isn´t any inner observer

Truth is coming when there is a non-linguistic presence, an observance and a love, which are without conclusions, without explanations, without words.

The inner spectator, theorist or doubter, are constructed by words, which again are manifestations of a self-image.

The Ego consists of explanations, conclusions, condemnations, justifications etc.

There is only mutual connection with the observed when there isn´t any inner observer and calculator, when you in self-forgetful way are open for, and engaged in, the observed.

Only then there is understanding, freedom from the problem.

Our language is reflections of the universal images in the great vision of the creation

Our language, all our fictional productions, is reflections of the universal images in the great vision of the creation.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, then a library therefore is a magical room with a lot of bewitched spirits.

They wake up when we call them.

When we open a book an esthetic occurrence is happening.

Because we are parts of the movement of time - which with it´s images both flows through us, and around us in nature - then the same book changes, as we changes.

The text itself is after all also the River of Time, or Heraklit´s River.

Language is in that way an esthetical creation.

It is very difficult for Man to observe something directly instead of through images

The past is based on the images of time, which are of a linguistic kind.

They manifest themselves as symbols.

Language itself is a symbol, and we are used to symbols: we see the tree through the image, which is a symbol for the tree, we see our neighbour through the image we have created of him.

It is apparently about the most difficult for Man, to observe something directly instead of through images, opinions, conclusions, which altogether are symbols.

In the same way symbols play a great role in dreams, and therefore dreams are so deceptive and dangerous.

The meaning of a dream is not always clear, though we realize that it consists of symbols, which we try to decipher.

When we see something, we speak so spontaneous about it, that we don´t realize, that the words also are symbols.

When we understand that the word not is the real, then the mind has released you from the word

When we understand that the word not is the real, that the description not is the described, the explanation not the explained, then the mind has released you from the word.

If you have created an image of yourself, then the image is pieced together by words, by thought-activity – the thought is the word.

You think about yourself as large, small, skillful, or as a genious, or whatever – you have an image of yourself. This image can be described, it is the result of a description.

And this image has the thought created.

But the description, the image, is not the reality.

Propagandists are using an instrumental usage of language on human relations

Neither the religious, nor the temporal propaganda, speak about truth.

Propagandists are using, as Habermas expresses it, an instrumental usage of language on human relations, where it actual only should have been used on technical problems.

They relate to humans in a strategic and controlling way, rather than the understanding way, which characterizes a communicative usage of language.

Language must be made transparent in presence and reality

That the mind must disentangle from language is not equivalent with that language must stop.

Language is necessary.

But in order to, that our usage of language can be precise, logical and clear, there must be a non-linguistical sensation, which carries it.

It must be made transparent in presence and reality.

When language is made transparent it works from the universal images, and therefore synthesizing and healing.

Deeper than personal and collective images are the universal images lying, what Sri Aurobindo called vision-logic

Deeper than personal and collective images are the universal images lying, what Sri Aurobindo called vision-logic: language which no longer is verbal, but which is superior, visionary syntheses and wholes, that work more in synchronism with the Now, than in sequences in past and future.

From this plane originates the world-images, the superior universal systems and paradigms: philosophical, scientifical, religious-spiritual and cosmic world-images and mappings.

These are linguistical refined, highly abstract, stratospherical or ionospherical levels of language and systems of reference, but however still linguistic structures and interpretations.

However they are in their original form not human made, and there is in Indian philosophy many discussions about whether they are expressions of the actual divine unmanifested source, or whether they lie somewhere between the unmanifested and the manifested.

They probably correspond to what the Western philosophers have called unmoved matter.

They are the thoughts of God.

The feeling and the name happen almost at the same time

The dangerous in language is, that it also contains feelings.

When you describe something, then the feeling usually is not different from the description.

The name awakens the feeling.

The feeling arises where the mind´s description and the body meet.

The feeling is the reflection of the name in the body.

The name creates a build-up of energy in the body.

It is this energy, which is the feeling.

And most of us intensify feelings when we describe something.

The feeling and the name happen almost at the same time.

To finish thoughts, so that they can end and renew themselves, is equivalent with meditation

The instance, which is using the past to preserve the thoughts in a linguistic form, is the inner thinker, who reacts to challenges by dividing, evaluating, comparing.

To finish thoughts, so that they can end and renew themselves, is therefore equivalent with ceasing to preserve them in a linguistic form, which again is equivalent with meditation: that, to let the thoughts rest in longer periods of time, to let the space between them expand in passive listening presence.

It is as simple as that.

Language and thinking carry each other. And the collective language is lying in nature in form of projected energy

In close coherence with thinking exists language.

The thinking functions in language. And language is not only words and sentences. Language is music, mathematics, myths, archetypes, symbols, signs, etc.

Language and thinking carry each other. And the collective language is so to speak lying in nature in the form of projected energy.

The universal language though, is not projected energy, but is lying beyond Man, it is the actual foundation for the creation of the universe, it is the great vision, God´s plan you could say, the dream-tracks and the songlines in the artwork of the universe and of Man.

It works in synchronism with the Now, and therefore with life itself, and not projected in past and future.

It is not possible to live isolated

To be is to be in connection with something, and without such a connection there is no life.

What do we mean with the close connection?

It is a mutual active challenge and reaction between two humans, between an I and a Thou, the challenge which the Thou gives from itself, and which the “I” takes up, or whereon the “I” reacts, and also the challenge which the “I” gives from itself to the Thou, the challenge from the I to the Thou.

The challenge and the reaction give themselves expression in language as question and answer.

In this way life gets in language a dialogical character.

First when we can relate relatively to the relative, we can relate absolutely to the absolute

We are absolutely locked inside our self-centered becoming something, our images of life, our ideas and attitudes. Shortly said: language.

We must therefore begin with relating relatively to the relative. That is in Kierkegaard´s language: ”Die from the immediate.”

We must learn to relativize ourselves and our samsaric-temporal becoming something (the will to power). And it happens through self-knowledge and through relativizing of the Ego and the temporal life.

First when we existentially concrete can relate relatively to the relative, we can begin the next great work: to relate absolutely to the absolute.

The question then becomes whether the mind can be free from language?

What we as Life Artists ask ourselves, is whether we can be free from the word with it´s illusions?

Hope is born from despair. They are two sides of the same coin. Where there not is hope, there is hell, and because we are afraid of hell, we seek the meaning, which is in the hope. Then the illusion begins.

The word has in that way led to an illusion, and not at all to God. God is the illusion, which we worship, and the non-believer creates the illusion about another God, which he worships – science, the state, utopia, or a book, which he thinks contains the whole of the truth.

So, what we as Life Artists ask ourselves, is whether we can be free from the word with it´s illusions?

Would that lead to despair?
