It is will to power when things and sense impressions tie us

Our natural needs are not the will to power, but it is the will to power when things and sense impressions tie us, both in psychological and existential sense; that is to say: in the sense, that we can´t feel happy without them, that they have become our foundation of existence.

War is about things, and our social and moral values are based on things

When it is so important to understand the right relationship with the things, then this is because they have an all-important meaning for most people.

War is about things, and our social and moral values are based on things.

We will not be able to understand reality, unless we understand the complicated process of the will to power.

When things become a requirement for your psychological and existential wellbeing, they get an all-important meaning

When the things only are of physical necessity for you, you limit them reasonably; but when they become a requirement for your psychological and existential wellbeing, they get an all-important meaning.

Being aware of that is to understand the satisfaction of your senses and your desire for lust.

If you want to understand the true, you must break away from such bonds.

In order to be able to break away from this desire for lust, you must begin with observing the needs you are familiar with, and in this is lying the right basis for understanding.

Art of Life is to understand your natural needs, without clinging to the things

Most peoples´ minds are busy with things, and it requires understanding to grasp our right relationship with them.

It is not about asceticism, or love of lust, not about giving renunciation, or gather into barns, but about being yourself present in passive listening, and herein understand your natural needs, without this clinging to the things.

It was this realization Buddha came to after he as itinerant ascetic in 5-6 years had practised all possible penances, where he, among other things, tried to live of one corn of rice a day.

He realized that this self-torture didn't lead to enlightenment; that does instead the middle way, where you give the body what it needs, but without being in the control of the senses.

When you understand this, it is no sorrow to give up things, or an eternal fight to keep them.

When we are dependent of things in order to satisfy our lust, they are filling too much in our lives

We have tied our thoughts and feelings to the things, so that we can´t feel happy without them: they feed our vanity, they give us social prestige, they give us means for display of force.

We use things for other purposes, than they in themselves are implying.

That we need food, clothes, shelter, is natural and not wrong, but when we are dependent of them in order to be able to satisfy our love of lust, when the things not only become a psychological necessity, but directly an existential necessity, then they are taking an all too colossal place in our lives.

That way arise the fights and the conflicts for achieving and keeping the things, which we are dependent of.

And this fight is unnatural.

If insight can change the brain, then insight must be beyond the brain

Some people say, that there nothing is beyond the brain. The materialists.

But if insight can change the brain, then this is implying, that insight somehow is beyond the brain.

This doesn´t have to be something mystical.

If an alcoholic is having the insight, that he must stop his abuse, and actually is stopping, then this insight is affecting his brain cells. And this insight must therefore be something different than the brain.

Please, go deep into this question.

Are you dependent of things in order to achieve and keep an existential happiness and meaning?

As a Life Artist you must be able to ask yourself the question about, whether you are dependent of things in order to achieve and keep an existential happiness and meaning?

If you seriously try to answer this apparently simple question, you will discover how complicated your thoughts and life of feelings are.
