The flower itself is the movement of the experience when there no inner observer is


The tree, the flowers and the stars can't be experienced by an inner observer; they are the actual movement of the experience when there no inner observer is, when you in self-forgetful way are open for, and engaged by the observed, when the experience is characterised by fulfilment and middle.

Then there doesn´t exist any discrepancy, any displacement and reflections between the observer and the observed; there is no time, no emptiness and loss, in which the thought can give rise to itself.

The thought is there never, but there is being.

This condition of being can't be made into an object of thinking; it is nothing you can achieve. The inner thinker and calculator must stop evaluating.

Only when this happens, there is being. And in this movement of silence, the timeless exists.

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.

Without passion, there can´t be created, and everything goes in dissolution


Passion is the strict simplicity of self-forgetfulness, in which there is no ego, that places itself outside life. 

That´s the secret of soulful travel, the glorious journey, the splendid prism of love, and the traveler´s lamp.

Therefore, passion is the innermost essence of life. It is that which is moving, creating and living. But when the thought introduces all the problems – to acquire, have and preserve – then passion ceases.

Without passion, there can´t be created, and everything goes in dissolution. Precisely what happens in society today.

The clarifying function in philosophical counseling is pointing towards a self-forgetful dimension


The clarifying function in philosophical counseling is pointing towards a self-forgetful dimension, the wholeness of the observer and the observed.

It goes beyond the intra-psychic, and claims that it is in the self-forgetful dimension that the real formation happens.

Rather than personal development, you here focus on human/spiritual growth as a wholeness.

We are used to be told what we shall think, but we don´t know what thinking is


In philosophy as an art of life it is not so important what you ought to think about each problem, or how your attitude ought to be facing the problem, but what means something is how you think about it.

We are used to be told what we shall think, in which way we shall solve a problem, but we don´t know what thinking is.

In art of life it is therefore very important to find out, what rational thinking is, because the various problems, which appear, the problems we constantly meet, require rational thinking.

In art of life such a rational thinking is a self-forgetful way of thinking.

Silence is not something which can be chosen and self-produced through the will


The awakened silence in the mind is something, which the separated superficial mind never can see.

Silence is therefore not something which can be chosen and self-produced through the will.

Silence comes when you understand the whole structure and beginning of life, and know what it is to be alive.

Silence has with life-feeling, spontaneity and self-forgetfulness to do.
