Zen Thoughts
Posted in Meditation, Personal on 15 May 2005

What’s reality like from eternity’s point of view?
Who talks by silence, does the most.
How can we see something we know nothing about?

Enlightenment
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Meditation, Personal on 10 May 2005

Meditation is preparation for the continuous steady state of
enlightenment, a process where one is adjusting to shift the
consciousness onto a higher level. Doing this requires con-
centration and undivided attention. Still, we cannot progress
by physical “force” or pure power of will. We have to reach a
higher (or finer) state where we are capable of oscillating the
energy [...]

Wanting
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Short Insights on 28 April 2005

When you want something you also state that you don’t have
something. Your object of wanting is the very thing you’re
missing. In other words, you’re declaring your imperfectness.
There is something in you that still requires and is in need.
The person who is at peace and has achieved a state of
calmness needs no thing. He or [...]

To Change Is Becoming
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Meditation, Personal on 28 April 2005

As long as there is something that changes, the quest is not
over. Anything that is not permanent and independent is still
becoming; it depends on its external circumstances and,
therefore, more or less reacts to these.
A constant state is independent of any outside events or
situations as well as any temporal fluctuations such as day or
night. [...]

Belief Structures
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 27 April 2005

Our belief structures define who we are and how we interpret
the world. They are our point of view and allow us to view the
world through rose-colored glasses. We adjust the external
world according to our beliefs. Beliefs are our world, and they
are us. Hence they are very powerful and have a great impact
on us.
When [...]

I - Who?
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Reality and Ego on 26 April 2005

When you are angry ask yourself: Who is angry?
When you are disappointed ask yourself: Who is disap-
pointed?
When you are in need of something ask yourself: Who
needs?
When you are sad ask yourself: Who is sad?
Why is it that it is always the external world that is to be
blamed? And yet, all of [...]

Something Eligible
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Reality and Ego on 21 April 2005

Everything with a form and shape falls into the trinity of cre-
ation, sustenance, and dissolution. These three states are
inevitable and they materialize in time-space. Each manifes-
tation is a child of its age; it uses the concepts, structures, and
ways of the current relative reality. It has a limited existence
and relevance as well. Nothing lasts forever in [...]

Notes for a Serious Practitioner
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Meditation, Personal on 24 March 2005

Always concentrate on your state of being-ness, never on the
mode of being.
Don’t try, genuinely be.
Understand you can never be too humble.
Appreciate and be grateful for everything and every single
occasion and situation you’re facing and living through.
Be patient. Always.
Forgive and be kind to yourself. You can [...]

Meaning of Life
Posted in Fragments of Reality, Personal, Short Insights on 13 March 2005

(To) Be.
We are just becoming.
As long as we have to become, we are not. When we only are,
there is nothing else. A pure state of existence.

Detachment
Posted in Experience, Fragments of Reality, Personal, Poems on 26 February 2005

The view,
so vivid and exciting,
full of life,
happiness and joy,
sometimes sorrow, often pain,
from limited knowledge and
ignorance,
glances still;
Stepping back,
enlarging the scope,
gaining new foothold,
spectating,
from a distance,
different angle;
Firmly pacing,
knowing,
from here I must walk,
these curtains must fall,
something must go;

Giving away,
the known,
to make space,
for the unknown,
letting go,
to fall,
the facade,
so dear and attached,
which does not hold,
it must [...]
