Can you discover or experience something which is indescribable?

Mystical Night, by Michael Z Tyree

It all starts with the Wholeness. The Wholeness is indescribable since it can´t be put in opposition to anything.

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.

In order to be able to see something as a whole there must be no inner calculator

To see the wholeness is extremely difficult, while it is fairly easy to see a fragment.

In order to be able to see something as a whole - and that will say: to see it rational, healthy and completely - there must be no inner spectator, doubter or calculator.

There must neither be any disproportion between the feeling and its object, or between the action and its occasion.

Your life must be real, so that you fully and completely exist and the important is present.

Fully and completely to exist will say that you are what you are in action with.

Where the unreal life is characterized by, that the dreamer, the spectator, the doubter within you, slides in between, creates reflections, displacement and darkness, there the real life is characterized by fulfilment, middle and light.

In order to make the inner calculator disappear, you must be present in passive listening.

Only a philosophical life-practice can pass the threshold to the whole

If you, in order to recognize a door among many other doors, draw a cross on it, then the cross functions.

But if you draw a cross on all doors (as in H.C. Andersen´s The Tinderbox) then the cross loses its symbol-function.

Therefore you can´t say anything about the whole, and therefore you can´t have any images of life, which can create harmony.

Only a philosophical life-practice can pass the threshold to the whole.

The smaller is in the larger, but the larger is not in the smaller

If the individual person only acts in a special corner of the extensive area of life, then he acts without any connection with the wholeness.

You must therefore remember, that philosophy always talks about the wholeness, not a part of it.

The smaller is in the larger, but the larger is not in the smaller.

The individual person is the tiny image-limited, stagnated and despairing being, who is satisfied with his tiny gods and his tiny traditions, whereas the welfare and weal of all, the sum of the world´s necessity, misery and confusion, are lying Man on mind.

If you are becoming yourself present, then the thinking can be made transparent

If the clarity of the mind increases, and you are becoming yourself present, then the thinking can be made transparent, whereby it begins to unfold its components: sound-color and symbol-structure.

In this structured clarity the mind meets the world in a new way, both the inner and the outer, even though inner, on this step, apparently still is clearly divided from outer.

The wholeness has, from its deep, dreamless sleep, begun to dream.

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.

The wholeness can´t be assembled, and produced

The nature of the mind is the emptiness in which the things of the mind can exist, but the things are not the mind.

Because of this emptiness time and space begin to exist.

The brain, and the brain´s things, can cover an entire field of life; it is occupied by multifold problems. But the brain can´t catch the nature of the mind, because it only functions in division; logical analyzing in the one as different from the other, emotional evaluating in sympathy and antipathy, ethical in good and evil, religious in holy and profane, sexually in gender, the reality in the observer and the observed.

None of these parts can produce the wholeness. And yet the brain is occupied by putting the many contradictory parts together in order to produce the wholeness. Just like the thoughts the brain functions philosophical.

But the wholeness can´t be assembled, and produced. The sacred circle would in that case be broken.

Polar partners will, in their extremes, switch over in the opposite extreme

The more you, through the Ego´s evaluations, isolate the parts of wholeness from each other, the more the abandoned parts will work stronger and stronger on their polar partners.

Therefore, these polar partners in their extremes will finally switch over in the opposite extreme.

     

Another aspect of this lawfulness, or another way to describe this lawfulness is: energy returns to its starting point. This is also called compensatory karma, and the lawfulness works as wave movements and pendulum movements.

And since everything in this way only work correlative, yes, then, as the Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna claimed, we actually can´t say anything about the wholeness, only about the parts.

Therefore, he called the wholeness the Emptiness (´sûnyatâ) – a teaching, which had one quite determinate purpose: the neutralization of all the dogmas, theories and viewpoints, which ignorance has created. 

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.

In order to understand yourself you must understand that Man is an inviolable whole

In order to understand yourself you must understand that Man is an inviolable whole, not only a determined being, as for instance a society being with his particular assigned job: a worker, a citizen, a consumer, or a political being, right wing or leftist, or a religious being, Christian, Moslem, Jew, - but a complete whole in which an interaction and a reciprocity takes place.

Unless we meet relationships completely there arises conflicts in the meeting with the challenge

The human being who observes and meets life, as if it for instance only is limited by the economical, or intellectual relationship, is not a Man of wholeness, and his conflicts are countless, because life is the connection with everything; with things, humans and ideas, and unless we meet these relationships completely, correctly, there arises conflicts in the meeting with the challenge.

Our life-expressions become self-circling.

Without the emptiness in the nature of the mind, there can´t be content

The mind, in which is the brain, the thoughts, the feelings, and any subtle emotion or fantasy, is, according to the Buddhists, an extraordinary thing.

All its content doesn´t create the mind, and yet without them the mind is not.

The mind is more than what it contains.

Without the mind the contents would not be; without the emptiness in the nature of the mind, there can´t be content, just like that it is the emptiness in a pot, which makes possible, that it can contain water.

The contents exist because of the emptiness.

The intellect - the thoughts, the feelings, all consciousness - have their existence in the total emptiness of the mind.

A tree is not the word, nor a leaf, branches or roots; the wholeness of them is the tree and yet the tree is none of these things.

You can´t see completely as long as you observe life on the bases of a certain viewpoint

To see what is possible in the highest form implies that you must find out, what it will say to see something as a whole.

You can´t see completely as long as you observe life on the bases of a certain viewpoint, or on the bases of a special experience, which you place very high, or on the bases of some acquired knowledge, which is your historical background, the Ego.

Meditation is a perception where you are melting into a unified wholeness

To meditate is about seeing the whole thing, everything as a whole; that is to say: where you in self-forgetful openness are allowing the thing to fill you out.

Meditation is a presence of something, which is not hidden.

It is a presence of something evidently, something the individual has a clear understanding of.

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

It is a perception where you so to speak become drawn into the thing, and are melting into a unified wholeness, which contains middle, fullness and light.

Usually this happens in a short glimpse, inconspicuous; what you often describe as intuitive cognition.

Suddenly you understand something. There is no causal explanation for it.

A Dream Master helps you to synthesize and interlock, what your inner thinker in the waking state has divided

When you have trained meditation and Dream Yoga in many years, a so-called Dream Master can visit you through a symbol.

Such a symbol is a telescopying, a representing quintessence of the informationquantities, which the wholeness in a universal image contains.

The Dream Master will in that way canalize information to you from the universal image, which, together with the whole of the universal vision, constitutes the dreaming tracks and songlines in the artwork of your life.

The Dream Master will in that way help you to compose, to synthesize and interlock, what your inner thinker in the waking state has divided.

This is truly Dream Yoga.

The total perception of life is within the mind, not within the brain

The brain can be aware, aware about itself as a part of the whole movement of the mind.

But love, for instance, has only importance in the total perception of life, which is in the mind´s area, and not in the brain´s area.

So the brain can´t see the wholeness of life; the brain is a part, regardless how educated it might be. It is not the wholeness.

Only the mind can see the wholeness, and within the area of the mind is the brain.

But the brain can´t contain the mind regardless what it does.

If it doesn´t do anything there can come an insight in the wholeness, and this insight can change the brain, but insight itself is beyond the brain.
