The Core in Disorder is Inner Contradiction

“A Study for The Mystic Wood”, by John William Waterhouse

What is the actual core in disorder? Our existence is disorderly, split, we are absent, place ourselves outside, and are classifying life in different rooms, using specific perspectives; we are not a complete nature.

Some kind of will to power is always the cause of conflict

I think we must try to become clarified about our thought-process. Therewith is meant that you in your daily life must seek to be your will to power - and its miserable consequences and results - present.

When you realize the difference between the natural need and the will to power, then the right basis for your thinking is formed.

Some kind of will to power is always the cause of conflict, to unscrupulously national hate and masked brutality.

Unless you understand and get grip of your will to power, you will never be able to understand the reality, which is transcending all struggles and sorrows.

You must begin with yourself as a communicative being; that is to say: with your relationship with things and to your fellow men.

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 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.

What you concentrate on, is accentuated by the expense of something else

Concentration is the nature of the will to power, and it is the thinking, which concentrates itself.

Something is accentuated by the mind, is being brought in focus, something else is excluded, steps in the background.

Concentration is a choice.

What you concentrate on, is accentuated by the expense of something else.

It is a kind of isolation and exclusiveness, reserve.

Therewith is meant that you in your daily life must seek to be your will to power - and its miserable consequences and results - present.

When you realize the difference between the natural need and the will to power, then the right basis for your thinking is formed.

Some kind of will to power is always the cause of conflict, to unscrupulously national hate and masked brutality.

Unless you understand and get grip of your will to power, you will never be able to understand the reality, which is transcending all struggles and sorrows.

As long as we don´t understand the will to power, there will necessarily rule conflict

The images in time, both the personal and collective images (therefore the whole of mankind´s storeroom of belief and knowledge - the Akashic Records) are the common human structure of consciousness, the recognition-processes which form the inner calculator, the Ego, which is driven by the will to power.

And as long as we don´t understand the process of the will to power, where it works from our belief and knowledge, there will necessarily rule quarrel, conflict, sorrow, and humans will be turned against humans – and this is after all what we every day are witnesses to.

If you therefore as an Idler realize - that is to say: if you are enough aware - that this process forms yourself from a belief, as an expression of the desire for inner safety, then your problem isn´t that you should believe this or that, but that you should disentangle yourself from the desire after safety.

Can the mind then disentangle from the wish for safety?

This is the problem, and not what you should believe, or how much you should believe. That would only be an expression of the urge for philosophical safety; that is: being convinced about something, when you don´t have any philosophical life-teaching and practice, and everything else in world is uncertain.

Your ego creates the calculator, the dreamer, the doubter, which place itself outside yourself and your surroundings

Your personal history is the thinking´s past and future as a whole, your self-image and world-image moving from past towards future, as well as all the experiences, conclusions, values, norms, ideals, theories, speculative conceptions etc., which are manifestations of this history.

They are also symptoms of the will to power in this history, the desire after becoming something, to control and form happiness, truth and reality.

In other words, they are symptoms of the self-production, the production of your ego, the whole of this idea-complex, which creates the calculator, the dreamer, the doubter, which place itself outside yourself and your surroundings.

And they are symptoms of the consequences of this process: the disappointments, the guilt, the sorrow, the bitterness, the anger, the resistance, the anxiety, the hope, the despair, the unreality, the absence.

This process, the process of unreality, which so excellent has been described by various authors, for instance in Camus´ The Stranger, Baudelaire´s The Flowers of Evil, Dostojevskij´s Notes From an Underground, Kafka´s The Castle.

Also in the art of painting you can see it depicted, for instance by Cezanne, Van Gogh, Picasso.

It is will to power when things and sense impressions tie us

Our natural needs are not the will to power, but it is the will to power when things and sense impressions tie us, both in psychological and existential sense; that is to say: in the sense, that we can´t feel happy without them, that they have become our foundation of existence.

Will to Power is not psychological will, but perspectivism and nihilism

The Will to Power is a concept which comes from the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

It is entirely an expression of the philosophical desire in the thinking, not an expression of reality or life itself.

It is an expression of the thinking´s desire after controlling truth, happiness and reality. It is therefore I call it a philosophical desire.

It it not enough to designate it as a psychological desire, but a perspectivism which ends in nihilism.

In Man there exists an unnatural fight to change what you are into something else

In Man there is the natural fight in order to keep alive - that is to say: the fight for food, clothes and shelter.

But there is also an unnatural fight in order to change what you are to something else: the fight of the will to power; all the time with the consequence, that you don´t understand what you are, that the reality about yourself is being completely hidden.

Children´s nature is much more watchful, much more curious and eager to learn

Philosophy begins with, that human beings are wondering.

We all know, how curious children are.

Children want to know something and see much more, than the adults do, they catch sight of things, which the adults not even put notice to.

Children´s nature is much more watchful, much more curious and eager to learn.

They are lost in being.

It is therefore children have so easy learning maths, geography or whatever subject.

When we become older, our mind progressively becomes crystalized, it stiffens, becomes heavy and dull.

We stagnate.

We begin to have prejudices about everything and everybody.

The mind is no longer open, to any problem we have taken position in advance.

We are lost in becoming, or in the will to power.

As a Life Artist can you ask the next question: whether Man ever can change radically?

As Life Artist can you ask the next question: whether Man ever can change radically, essentially, existential, so that he can observe the world anew, with other eyes, with another heart, a completely other mind, no longer filled with hatred, resistance, racism, but a mind, which is extraordinary clear and which possesses a mighty energy, that gives life back to the present, opens the heart and fills the existence with vitality, urge to live and joy of life?

It is not self-assertion when you do something, because you love to do it

It is not self-assertion when you do something, because you love to do it.

When you write and paint – not because you want prestige, but because you love to write and paint – it is assuredly not self-assertion.

Self-assertion occurs when you compare yourself with other writers or artists, when you want to distance them.

This would be the will to power, and the will to power is self-assertion.

But it is not self-assertion, when you do something, because you really love to do it.

This is passion. And passion is love.

There is no being if there is a struggle for becoming something

A radical transformation only takes place in the present, in that to be in the Now.

But there is no being if there is a struggle for becoming something.

The struggle for becoming something, the will to power, is the absent, and herein there is resistance and denial, desire and resignation.

That which is finished is subject for renewal, while that which continues is of time

Our common everyday thinking is a self-producing way of thinking, it is the whole of the mind´s stream of words, images, feelings, sensations, intuitions, inner monologues, comments, logical reasoning, memories, plans, etc. etc.,  - which all are about becoming something and achieving something, and which therefore is controlled by the will to power.

This way of thinking is not renewing itself, but is repeating the same themes again and again, because it is not completed, not finished.

It is the eternal recurrence of the same, where you preserve the thoughts in a linguistic form.

War is about things, and our social and moral values are based on things

When it is so important to understand the right relationship with the things, then this is because they have an all-important meaning for most people.

War is about things, and our social and moral values are based on things.

We will not be able to understand reality, unless we understand the complicated process of the will to power.

The present is never seized, though the understanding exclusively is lying herein

The future is always a becoming.

The present is therefore never seized, though the understanding exclusively is lying herein.

You can´t be present in the Now through the thinking´s past and future. This you only can meditative-existential; that is: when you are yourself, and the surroundings, present in passive listening.

As long as there is a becoming something, there is conflict and anxiety, and becoming is always the past, which uses the present to become something, to control and form: an expression of the will to power.

In this process of becoming Man becomes caught in the net of time.

And time will not be able to solve human problems, because such precisely originate from time.

The brain has evolved from the primitive state, and carries in itself the instinct of the animal

It is obvious that we still have a behaviour, which arises from the instinct of the animal.

This appears especially in situations of crises, such as for instance war, where all civilization and moral suddenly momentarily disappear.

The brain has evolved from the primitive state, and carries in itself the instinct of the animal. Consequently there is something innate.

In addition to this you can say, that regardless how sophisticated, intelligent, technical, the brain is, it can only function within the frames of time and space.

The brain has also got accustomed to the evolution´s idea about becoming something (the will to power).

But you could ask the question: What happens if it suddenly realizes the nature of the will to power?

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.
