A Radical Change Requires Spiritual Anarchism and a Religious Revolution

Kenneth Grahame´s, ”The Wind in the Willows”, illustrated by Inga Moore

In my philosophical counseling practice, I talk about three aspects of my teaching: Meditation as an Art of Life. The third aspect is about going beyond all ideas an images. This aspect is also called Spiritual Anarchism.

We must understand ourselves as we are momentarily, without collecting experiences

In order to create a fundamental philosophical revolution in yourself, you must understand the processes of the thoughts, and of the feelings, as they reflect themselves in the relationship with others.

This is the only solution to all our problems – not to subject us more kinds of discipline, more kinds of beliefs or ideologies, or to find more spiritual teachers.

If we understand ourselves as we are momentarily, without collecting experiences - that is to say: meditative-existential - then you can experience a peace, which is not a thought-product, a peace that neither is fantasy or a condition we grow; and only in the condition of peace there can be creation.

What is central in philosophical counseling, is a radical revolution on the philosophical plane

Since we in philosophical counseling speak about something, which is rather complicated, something which intervenes deep into our daily existence, then it is not enough that we linguistically communicate, there must moreover be solidarity, what you could call an investigative community.

What is central in philosophical counseling, is a radical revolution on the philosophical plane, not far out in the future, but in fact today, now.

To change the mind of Man requires a philosophical revolution

When all this is seen – the wars, the unreasonable dividings, which the religions have created, the division which exists between the individual person and the society, the family, which is opposed to the rest of the world, each individual person, who clings to some personal or collective images, and divide himself in ”me” and ”you”, ”us” and ”them” – when all this is seen, both in objectively and in philosophical sense, then only one question is remaining, one essential problem, and that is whether the mind of Man, which in high degree is limited by its historical background, its personal or collective images, can change.

Not in a future incarnation, not through political development, not when life ends, but radically change now, so that Man enters into a creative emptiness, where the mind become new, fresh, young, innocent, released from its images, so that it knows what love is, and what it is to live in peace.

It requires a philosophical revolution.

You must go from just having some images of life to having a philosophical way of life

The question about whether Man can be changed from the ground, is a question which affects the whole of your being; it includes observation, truth, beauty, love.

And these are in philosophy as an art of life something else than words, they are something you directly experience and are in.

The life Artist must find a way in which you can live so that they become reality.

You must go from just having some images of life, personal or collective, to having a philosophical way of life.

It is herein the philosophical revolution is lying.

In that sense the Life Artist is a philosophical rebel.

To be critical is equivalent with revolt in philosophical sense

As a Life Artist you can´t accept handed down truths.

You must begin to be critical, inquiring and discovering.

But you can´t examine anything if you inwards are afraid.

To be critical is equivalent with revolt in philosophical sense, and that will say to create a new world.

The Life Artist is a philosophical rebel.

What you are coming up against is the politicians, who don't want us to revolt, because they want to control us, they want to model and form us, so we can fit into their ideological patterns; and as long as that is happening, life will remain being a torment.
