The movement of time consists of two movements, which we could call the outgoing movement and the backmovement


The movement of time consists of two universal movements, which we could call the outgoing movement and the backmovement: future and past, creation and destruction.

These two movements are reflected throughout the Universe in a multiplicity of different lifecycles: they are Samsara´s  wheel of up-cycles which are followed by down-cycles and vice versa (for instance life and death, success and fiasco, joy and sorrow) - all this which is lying behind the law of Karma and rebirth.

This Universe is for instance considered to be a reincarnation of a past Universe, in the same way as a human is being considered to be a reincarnation of a past existence.

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?
