In order to discover the answer to a question, you must study the problem without formulating an answer

In order to discover the right answer to a question, you must in philosophical counseling study the problem without formulating an answer.

Life is here not seen as a line of conclusions, of one or the other explanation.

Life is seen dialogical as a line of challenges and reactions, or a line of questions and answers, and it is up to yourself, how you are answering.

This requires an immensely self-knowledge, which isn´t gained through tricks or gurus, but through yourself, in your own daily actions and thoughts.

The consciousness can´t be separated from a human´s actions

The consciousness can´t be separated from a human´s actions.

But often the consciousness keeps itself outside them, so that it can achieve a feeling of continuation and endurance.

And it is especially this isolating process - the Ego - which the Life Artist is seeking to understand.

Self-knowledge is the virtue of art of life.

Meditation is not concentration, prayer or worship, and it´s not a method

Instead of thinking you must put meditation.

Meditation is not concentration. Meditation is not prayer. Meditation is not worship. Meditation is not a method.

Meditation is a condition in which you discover yourself as you are, without deception and illusion.

Self-knowledge is not a goal in itself.

Self-knowledge is this, to discover the desire of becoming something.

When you as a Life Artist have examined the many different sides of yourself in activity, you have discovered, that there only is one process, and that is, that you only are interested in becoming something, in continuity.

And this is the will to power.

Consciousness is a characteristic of Man, both as history, rationality, desires, nature and relationships

Is it possible for the mind altogether to empty itself for its historical limitation?

The mind has many layers of images, both personal, collective and universal.

The so-called consciousness consists of these many layers of images, and there is an intercommunication between these layers, all the layers are dependent of each other and influence each other.

The whole of the consciousness of Man is not only a process whereby something is experienced, but also whereby something gets name, is designated and stored as memories.

Consciousness is therefore not only a characteristic of Man as a rational being. It is also, on various levels, a characteristic of Man, both as history, desires, nature and relationships.

Self-knowledge is the virtue in answering the above question.

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?
