Getting heartily sick and tired of the way your life is isn't a neurosis; it's an insight. If you embrace it, then it's the boot that will kick your ass into doing something new and better.

I am only receptive to the present when i am aware.
I am aware when i think something is important or when i am afraid.
My question was how can i be receptive, enjoying myself in all other situations, when life is at it's most mundane?
The answer was that whenever i transformed whatever present into my teacher, i became aware, receptive, me again.
Now i was aware but the fact remained that i didn't enjoy myself and neither had i learnt anything at all without -understanding- towards the teachers.
No real need for fast speed
don't have to limit myself and stick to what i think i know best
everything, including the worst, can always be.. the best.

Notes on What's what
Kategori: Notes on What's what
Knowing who in fact we are results in Good Being, and Good Being results in the most appropriate kind of good doing.
But good doing does not of itself result in Good Being. We can be virtuous without knowing who in fact we are.
The beings who are merely good are not Good Beings; they are just pillars of society.
Most pillars are their own Samsons. They hold up, but sooner or later the also pull down. There has never been a society in which most good doing was the product of Good Being. This does not mean that there will never be such a society or that we are fools for trying to call it into existence.

Progress comes with parenting

Behave well, you say. But how? You never tell them. All you do is give them pep talks and punishments. Pure idiocy.
If your children take the idiocy seriously, they grow up to be miserable sinners. And if they don't take it seriously, they grow up to be miserable cynics.

Utopia

But we haven't really got there yet, we're compelled to live this way because the present is so frustrating. And it's frustrating because we've never been taught how to bridge the gap between theory and practice, between our New Year's resolutions and our actual behaviour.
The highest possible ideals, and no methods for realizing them.

Give me faith to get rid of belief
Kategori: Anatta
What happens is the senseless ambivalence of history - sadism versus duty, or (incomparably worse) sadism as duty; devoting counterbalanced by organized paranoia; sisters of charity selflessly tending the victims of their own church's inquisitors and crusaders.
Faith, on the contrary, can never be taken too seriously. For Faith is the empirically justified confidence in our capacity to know who in fact we are, to forget the belief-intoxicated Manichee in Good Being. Give us this day our daily Faith, but deliver us, dear God, from Belief.
Why didn't they all go mad?

It was knonwn for certain that ninety-nine point nine per cent of the human race were condemned to everlasting fire. Why? Either because they'd never heard of Jesus; or, if they had, because they couldn't believe sufficiently strongly that Jesus had delivered them from the fire. And the proof that they didn't believe sufficiently strongly was the empirical, observable fact that their souls were not at peace. Perfect faith is defined as something that produces perfect peace of mind. But perfect peace of mind is something that practically nobody possesses. Therefore practically everybody is predestined to eternal punishment.
Augustine was beatean by his schoolmaster and laughed at by his parents when he complained. Luther was systematically flogged not only by his teacher and father, but even by his loving mother. The world has been paying for the scars on his buttocks ever since.
Do to your children's bottoms what was done to yours, what your Heavenly Father has been doing to the collective bottom of humanity ever since the Fall: whip, whip, whip!

Because he liked his knowledge warm from the cow.
Not skimmed or pasteurized or homogenized. Above all not canned in any kind of container.
The sublimest of ideas is totally diferent from the cosmic mystery it's supposed to stand for. And the beautiful sentiments connected with the sublime idea - what do they have in common with the direct experience of the mystery?
Nothing whatsoever.
His ideal was pure experimental science at one end of the spectrum, and pure experimental mysticism at the other.
Direct experience on every level and then clear, rational statements about those experiences.
