To be in the Now can´t be something mechanical

What will it say to be in the Now?

It can´t be something mechanical. It can´t be weighed down by the whole of this weight of knowledge, of tradition - that is to say: it is a mind and a being which really from the ground are free – free and without anxiety.

It has with life-feeling, spontaneity and self-forgetfulness to do, an openness for own and therewith also all others´ being, a being where being and reality fall together, where you live with, are included in something which happens, where the other fills you out, where you become drawn into, and are melting into in a unified wholeness.

When openness only is formulated in words it is not the real

From the openness for own and therewith also all others´ being, arises a happiness, a delight, a creative emptiness, that can´t be formulated with words.

When it is formulated in words it is not the real.

An openness-variant of meditation implies, that you omit judging yourself or others as good or bad

A so-called openness-variant of meditation implies, that you omit judging yourself or others as good or bad.

You don’t judge.

You wait forming yourself a certain opinion and instead you direct the awareness towards the consequences of what is happening.

You have for example made a mistake, but instead of branding yourself because of what you have made, you examine the consequences of the mistake, and what can be done to reduce the adverse effects.

Don´t think about, what you ”ought” or ”not ought” to do, what is ”right” or ”wrong”, ”just” or ”unjust”.

You rather ought, as well as you can, to concentrate about doing what the situation actual requires, use the existent possibilities and act in a way, which feels natural.

Freedom from your perspective, the old, is truly an ethical life

Can you, as a Life Artist, without interpreting the present reality on the bases of the past´s conditions, observe the reaction in a new way, with an open mind?

Can something else than the old react?

Can there be a space between the old and the new reality?

Can the old be awaiting, and in this way make it possible for the new to occur?

This is the problem of the Life Artist.

Freedom from your perspective, the old, is in this way truly an ethical life. It means that you have discrimination, and don´t pull your perspective down over others.

But it doesn't mean, that the old is deleted, but that there is introduced a completely new dimension, where you are the old present in passive listening, where the old so to speak is made transparent in being and openness.
