Reality is never old


The human being who doesn´t require anything, who doesn´t strive after goals, who doesn´t seek a result with all what this is implying, such a human being is in an ongoing condition of experience.

Since everything is in movement, everything has meaning; nothing is old, nothing is charred, nothing is recurrence, because reality is never old.

The human being, who truly is satisfied, is a human being, who understands what he is


Striving means a struggle of changing what you are to something else, to something you ought to be, or ought to become.

It will in other words say, that we all the time struggle to avoid facing what we are, or we seek to escape from what we are, or to transform or limit it.

But the human being, who truly is satisfied, is a human being, who understands what he is, and is putting the right importance in it.

This is the true satisfaction: the one who doesn´t worry about the number of possessions, but about understanding what he is, when he is himself present in passive listening, not when he seeks to remodel, control, or change it through the will to power.

Just like the solution to a problem is lying in the problem itself, thus reality is to find in what you are


Reality can´t come to that, which will become something, which strive after something, the will to power, the absent.

It is only able to come to that, which is being, that, which understand what you are, the present.

Then you will see that reality is not something afar, the unknown is not far away, it is in what you are.

Just like the solution to a problem is lying in the problem itself, thus is reality to find in what you are.

If you can understand this, you will know truth.

We can´t imagine a condition, a being, where all conflict have ended


When you as a Life Artist understand the question about the creative activity, you will perhaps be able to understand what people mean by striving after something.

Is the creative action a result of an effort, and are we aware about the moments where we create? Or is the creative action a feeling of complete self-forgetfulness, a feeling, which arises when nothing intervenes disruptive, when you not at all feel the movement of the thought, when there only is an altogether rich and complete being? Is the creative condition a result of drudgery, of struggle, of conflict, of an effort?

We have all noticed that when we do something with great ease and quickly, then it costs no effort, then there not at all is talk about any struggle; but because our existence in the main consists of a line of conflicts and struggles, we can´t imagine a condition, a being, where all conflict have ended.

As long as we don´t solve our philosophical struggles - the structure of society must necessarily be crushed


Our striving is a combat, or a struggle, in order to transform what you are to something you wish to be.

I speak exclusively about the philosophical struggle, where you seek to produce yourself, the struggle of meaning, not about the struggle, which has to be led with a physical problem, as for instance an engineering project, or a discovery, or a change, which is of purely technical kind. I only talk about the philosophical struggle, which always overshadow the technical.

You can with the utmost care - as you draw advantage of the limitless knowledge which science has granted us - build a wonderful society. But as long as you don't understand those philosophical sticking points, the philosophical struggle which is going on - as long as these philosophical overtones and streams not are being solved - the structure of society must, how wonderful and solid it might be, necessarily be crushed, in the way it, through history, again and again has happened.
