Memory isn´t able to maintain the light-wealth of eternity

When you see the thought-process, the process it is to become something, the will to power, when you really are it present, without feeling tempted, without making resistance, without justifying or condemning it, then you discover that the presence is able to receive the new, and that the new never is a sense impression; therefore, it can never be recognized or re-experienced.

When Dante - after his laborious journey through Hell and the Purgatory finally has reached Paradise, and is looking into the light-wealth of eternity - then his sight is rising so high that language can´t contain it, nor is the memory able to maintain the observed.

Dante compares it with the one who has a sight in his dreams and later doesn´t remember anything: only an imprint of the feeling in the dream is left, a dripping of the sight´s sweetness in the heart.

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.

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.

The old leaves more and more dregs; that will say memory

The challenge is always new.

It is only the reaction to the challenge, which is a recurrence of the past.

The old leaves more and more dregs; that will say memory, and it is in this accumulation that the spectator, the theorist, the doubter, divides himself from himself and the surroundings, from the challenge, from the experienced.

We know the memories about continuity, but the condition where there no continuity is, we don't know

Identity as some images of life, as experience, belief and knowledge, as a striving after becoming something, a will to power, a will to control, master, frame, no matter on what level, is hard to understand and bring up in the light.

We only know continuity, we have no knowledge about non-continuity.

We know the experiences, the memories about the continuity of the events, but the condition where there no continuity is, we don't know.

We call it death, the unknown, the secretiveness etc., and by giving it a name, we hope to be able to maintain it, which again is the desire after continuity, the permanent.

Meditation, or art of life, is to empty out the mind completely

The content of the mind is a product of time, of that which usually is called development and cultivation; it is a product of thousand experiences, a gigantic accumulation of knowledge, of memories; therefore an aspect of Man as a historical being.

The mind is in that degree loaded with the past.

The past is based on the images in time, both the personal, collective and universal images; the reservoir, from where we get all our belief and knowledge.

All knowledge originates from the past, all experience is the past, and all memory is the accumulated result of thousand experiences – this is the known, your perspective.

The thought-activity is a process towards reaching conclusions, and therefore the thought is never free

The Ego is memory, the many conclusions; and the thought is the reaction of the memory.

The thought-activity is in this way always a line of conclusions, or the process towards reaching conclusions, and therefore the thought is never free, it isolates itself.

It might sound as a cognition-psychological exercise, but it is all based on time and its images.

There is only real thinking, when there isn´t any reaction from the memory

We are ceasing being creative, when we imitate, when we as natural beings only reacts on the bases of memories.

Answers from the memory are usually called thinking.

But such thinking is only reactions from those preconceived conceptions, which are memory.

It is only a reaction in the brain and not real thinking.

There is only real thinking, when there isn´t any reaction from the memory.

In this awake and passionate emptiness there is creation.

And when you are in this condition all stimuli and demands of life vanish.

The thinking becomes, when it identifies itself with me and my, time-binding

What you as a Life Artist must study, understand and neutralize, is the Ego´s time-binding characteristic, which identify itself with the memories.

Strong demands, especially the lustful, is about achieving something for the Ego, and it is the memories, which gives ”me and my” an identified continuation.

The thinking, which always is in motion, always streaming, becomes, when it identifies itself with me and my, time-binding, and gives identified continuation to memory, to the Ego.

It is this memory - which always grows and increases - you must give up.

That something is learned in philosophical sense presupposes a mind, which each time learns anew

The word philosophy means love of wisdom, or love of learning.

To learn in philosophical sense is a continual movement, a continual renewal. It is not ”to have learned”, and see on the bases of that.

Usually we see on the bases of a memory about what we have learned, and have experienced; memory is the starting point. This is therefore not to see, not to learn in philosophical sense.

That something is learned in philosophical sense presupposes a mind, which each time learns anew. There must be a creative emptiness. The mind must therefore always be new and ready to learn, just like a child.

For that reason it doesn´t interest the Life Artist to worship memory, but rather to observe, see and experience what really happens.

As a Life Artist you must try to be extremely aware, awake, so that the seen and learned don´t become a memory from which you see, and which in itself is a distortion.

You must see each time as if it was the first time!
