Anxiety is the whole thing, and it is this wholeness you must be aware of

What is anxiety?

You have the anxiety, and you have the mind, which says: ”There must not be anxiety!”

In this way a doubleness arises.

There is the observer who places himself outside the anxiety, and makes resistance against it, sucks energy and life away from the present and into condemnation, justification, comparison; the observer who analyses, theorizes, or goes to a psychotherapist.

And there is the observed. The observed is the anxiety, and the observer places himself outside this anxiety.

In this way there immediately arises a conflict between the anxiety and the observer who is in progress with defeating this anxiety, in getting rid of this anxiety.

In other words there is resistance, which has been produced by an inner spectator, doubter or calculator, who creates a discrepancy between the observer and the observed.

Anxiety is the whole thing, and it is this wholeness you must be aware of.

When the thought-activity falls to calmness, the inexhaustible begins

The trained Life Artist can in himself observe how the mind´s designation happens almost at the same time as his reaction to a challenge.

The interspace - which exists between the reaction and the designation - is the observing state.

The observing state, in which you are one with the observed - where there no displacement or distortions are between the observer and the observed, but where you are in the middle of the actual - in this state there is no conflict.

The conflict is a concentration of the Ego, which places itself outside in analyses and evaluations.

But when the conflict ends, the thought-activity falls to calmness, and the inexhaustible begins.

There is only mutual connection with the observed when there isn´t any inner observer

Truth is coming when there is a non-linguistic presence, an observance and a love, which are without conclusions, without explanations, without words.

The inner spectator, theorist or doubter, are constructed by words, which again are manifestations of a self-image.

The Ego consists of explanations, conclusions, condemnations, justifications etc.

There is only mutual connection with the observed when there isn´t any inner observer and calculator, when you in self-forgetful way are open for, and engaged in, the observed.

Only then there is understanding, freedom from the problem.

The layers of consciousness are the separation of the observer and the observed

The consciousness has many, many layers.

These layers are the separation of the observer and the observed, they are the disproportion between the observer and the observed, where emptiness and loss slide in between, creating a myriad of reflections, displacements and distortions.

These displacements can be hidden motives, chases, worries, fears, painful disappointments, which originate from an even deeper world of images.

Disproportions are time, the thinking´s past and future, which make the Now´s facts into problems.

These layers can in symbolic form project themselves to the conscious mind, and when the mind then awakes, it says: ”I have dreamt!”

That which is truth in reality and presence, is symbolic in unreality and absence

Symbols from the universal images are formed in the transition from the wholeness of the observer and the observed, to the separation of the observer and the observed.

What reality in itself contains, is real in this dimension, not symbolic, not linguistical.

But when reality becomes unreality in the separation of the observer and the observed, it narrows, loses clarity and light, is being muted to the split consciousness, and that – which in reality was truth – will transmute itself to symbols.

That which is truth in reality and presence, is symbolic in unreality and absence.

It is therefore very difficult for the universal images to communicate themselves to an ordinary absent consciousness.

It requires, that you yourself do your part of the work.

Self-forgetful thinking is thinking which is one with the Now, with the facts, with reality

Usually the thinking is a self-producing process; that is: the process where the thinking creates the reality of the self-image and the world-image, and therewith, the separation of the observer and the observed.

When the Ego is standing in the centre, then the whole of our life, the whole of our perspective on life - rests on the choices we make, and the desire in this process, the movement of time where we are seeking to achieve something, become something, acquire something.

Self-forgetful thinking is thinking, which releases itself from time, because through time the timeless can´t be grasped.

The timeless is the Now, and self-forgetful thinking is thinking which is one with the Now, with the facts, with reality.

That way self-forgetful thinking is not based on the personal or collective images of time, which work in sequences in past or future, but on the universal images, which work in synchronism with the Now.

The painful conflict between good and evil has arisen from our striving after becoming something

The painful conflict between good and evil, hope and fear, love and hate, the observer and the observed, has arisen from our striving after achieving something, acquiring something, becoming something.

And this striving gives itself expression in sensuality, in worldliness, or in aspiration after personal fame and immortality.

So, we create the conflict through our aspiration.

In the supporting exercises concentration-exercises are combined with relaxation-exercises

The will to power has its origin in the thinking; the will to power has created our mind on the background of one or the other image of life, so that you have the observer, who is standing outside the observed.

You can´t just choose to stop concentrating, because the choice is itself a result of concentration.

In the supporting exercises concentration-exercises are therefore combined with relaxation-exercises.

In that way, the union of concentration and relaxation develops into meditation by itself.

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.

Is there any problem when you are the problem present in passive listening?

A central theme in the philosophical life-practice is whether there at all is any problem when you are the problem present in passive listening; that is to say: when you observe it incisively, very closely.

That will say: you can only observe the problem closely, incisively see wherein it consists, when you in self-forgetful way are one with the problem, when the observer is one with the observed.

And then there no longer is any problem, because then there is no reflections, displacements and darkness between the observer and the observed, but on the contrary a presence of something, which not is hidden, a presence of something apparently, something the individual has a clear understanding of.

It is a presence of something straightforward, a presence in naturalness.

To understand consciousness, means philosophical, that you speak about the perspective of Man as such

To understand consciousness, desires and thinking, means psychological, that you speak about the contents of the observed, and the contents of the thoughts in the individual person, and that you take a psychological perspective on the observed and the thought.

To understand consciousness, desires and thinking, means philosophical, that you speak about the perspective and self-production of Man as such.

You direct the awareness towards the observer and the thinker, rather than towards the observed and the thought, towards the form of consciousness and thinking, rather than towards its content.

And the subconscious has here to do with absence and unreality; that is: the separation of the observer and the observed.

There is only mutual connection with the observed when there isn´t any inner observer and calculator

Truth is coming when there is a non-linguistic presence, an observance and a love, which are without conclusions, without explanations, without words.

If you can penetrate your idea-complex, the timeless experience can take place

First when you can penetrate the massive idea-complex, which is standing in the way for you – and that will say the Ego, which in order to experience itself as partly or completely continual, has split ifself in the observer and the observed – first when you reach beyond this, when the thought is completely in peace, the timeless experience can take place.

And then you will know what truth is: the ultimate expression of reason.

The desire after experience produces the Ego

The desire after experience produces the Ego, the observer, the one who experiences, the one who accumulates and remembers.

The will to power leads to, that the observer distances himself from the observed, and that the thinker places himself outside the thought.

And this is unreality, falsehood.

You are absent from the surroundings, and absent from your thoughts, in the sense that you are on a distance from them, they have so to speak moved outside you, where you relate theorizing, timorous, or agonized to them.

If you are your reactions present in passive listening, there is no doubter within you

If you as a Life Artist are your reactions present in passive listening, and not at all interpret them, but only give them your full awareness and feeling, you will discover, that there no spectator, doubter or calculator are within you, and therefore no displacement or distortions between the observer and the observed, the thinker and the thought.

You are one with the observed and the thought.

You react to a challenge, not with the old brain, but in a completely new way characterized by middle and fulfillment.

Human essence is an appearance-form of the Now. Why? Because the essence in the human life is meditation

Only meditative-existential you can be in the Now.

The passive listening presence is meditation.

Meditation is to see completely with the heart and the mind; that is to say: with the whole of your essence. The human essence is therefore meditation.

Meditation is the self-forgetful openness for, and absorption in life itself.

The meaning of life is therefore to express the human essence.

Human essence is therefore an appearance-form of the Now. Why? Because the essence in the human life is meditation.

Total existential presence in the Now is meditation.

The essence is therefore one and the same with the existence; and this realized oneness is precisely meditation, or the wholeness of the observer and the observed.

Dreams are an exposure of anxiety, which has to do with the separation of the observer and the observed

How can you as a Life Artist understand the meaning of dreams?

If you are the dream present in passive listening it will uncover its meaning.

Dreams are an indication, an exposure of the deeper motives and intentions; the anxiety, which has to do with the separation of the observer and the observed, or different said: with your self-image and world-image, the discrepancy between idea and conduct of life.
