Krishna said "My true being is unborn and changeless. I am the Lord who dwells in every creature. Through the power of my own maya, I manifest myself in a finite form" 

My thoughts

Thought believes that it can protect me. Thought believes that there is a safe place away from here. Thought imagines that tomorrow will be better, that somewhere, with someone else, will be perfect. If only I can figure it all out, then I will finally be able to relax....  
But in the meantime, whether we like it or not, Life is simply a wild unprotected, out-of-control, wondrously timeless mystery.

The secret ...

This is the same message as Jesus or Buddha or all the Zen Masters, but striped of any tradition, lineage, or dogmas. Once, this message used to be the secret mystical teaching that only those who had been practicing, or on the spiritual path for many years, and had attained certain spiritual qualifications to prove that he was ready, could have access to. It was greatly respected because it was understood to be truly dangerous to those who might misinterpret it. Now, in our modern age of technology this message is much more freely available (and more open to misinterpretation). However, this does not mean that it is not still mortally dangerous to what you think about yourself. If there is any kind of crack in your belief system, this message can really destroy your life as you think you know it. But if you already feel that the life you have been living, is only one pretence after another, then you are willing to risk it all, to wake up to what is true. This is the courage to stand alone.
I have no tradition. I have no lineage. I have no permission to speak from some nice old man. I stand naked with nothing to hold on to and no back-up. And yet, as Life itself, there is no way to prevent this pouring out of what is true.

Life and Death

The fixed belief in a division between life and death, is a great misunderstanding. There is no identifiable location from which things are born, or to which they return and so, there is no place to die. Nor is there a human species or self who from out of nowhere becomes conscious. We are of the world.

There are relative, conventional differences between life and death, loss and gain, mind and matter, the animate and inanimate, that are of consequence. The issue is to note that these contrasts are dependently arisen, dependently identified and therefore without their own nature. The understanding of interdependence avoids the extremes that phenomena must either independently exist or not exist at all.

The appreciation that everything reflects everything else, is the undoing of the belief in inherent separateness and along with it, conflict and fear. Under these conditions, the heart opens. There is the recognition that even the autumn leaf is not fundamentally different from the spring leaf. The autumn leaf is life, in a borderless, impermanent flux of causal continuance. It never was itself, and so the appearance of its ultimate death is an illusion.

What´s it like?

What's it like to be a human 

the bird asked

I myself don't know

it's being held prisoner by your skin 

while reaching infinity 

being a captive of your scrap of time 

while touching eternity 

being hopelessly uncertain 

and helplessly hopeful

being a needle of frost 

and a handful of heat 

breathing in the air 

and choking wordlessly 

it's being on fire 

with a nest made of ashes 

eating bread 

while filling up on hunger

it's dying without love 

it's loving through death

That's funny said the bird

and flew effortlessly up into the air

Dogville

Jeg undrer meg over om Lars Von Trier vet hvilken bombe han har skapt med denne filmen, en bombe på linje med Descartes sin "jeg tenker altså er jeg" (cogito ergo sum)bombe- Descartes forsto ikke at han hadde laget en bombe, han forsto at han hadde funnet svaret men ikke på hva. Om en forstår svaret til Descartes; -cogito ergo sum- så sprenges en i fillebiter. Spørsmålet er, hva er jeg/hvem er jeg? og svaret? du finnes bare i tanken, eller -jeg tenker altså er jeg.

Lars Von Trier sin bombe er av en annen type men med samme mengde sprengstoff. Filmen viser oss hva som faktisk foregår i verden. Den har fjerner mange av "lagene" som spinner det vi kaller virkeligheten (Maya) og filmen gir oss en sjelden muligheter til å faktisk se uten filtrene vi vanligvis omgir oss med. Når vi blir frie fra kulissene som vanligvis omgir oss, uten å bli påvirket av vårt eget personlige drama kan alle se ingentingheten/ tomheten/ meningsløsheten vi spinner rundt -og ikke minst hvordan vi spinner…  Når kulissene er så strippet kan alle se hvordan vår egen skyld, skam og vårt trang til å være separate /egne individer gjør oss til ufrie slaver og fyller oss med lidelse. For den som har våknet så er møtet med virkeligheten som en tur til Dogvill, dog i en mer og mer "strippet" forstand.

Open to the flow

When you -realize- you transcend material limitations and everyone but the " system" wins. The system rely upon having the monopoly- that everyone support the illusion of finite resources. It is also posing as the sole providers of those resources. When you transcend material limitations by aligning your inner and outer world with a higher reality, you no longer feed the control system. This starve the "control system" (Maya) and it actually removes money (and all other forms of energy) from the occasion. Knowledge of how to open the flow is heavily suppressed and for this reason, not by overt suppression against the availability of this knowledge, but rather covert programming of the masses to be unaware or willfully ignorant of it. 

This is not some mystic statement. We put ourselves into the world we want most to see- most expect to see. Do you expect a miracle, or a disaster? Either way, you will be right. When we move to a better reality internally, we automatically take everything and everyone we have ever perceived up the ladder with us. Your choices grow as your vision does. You are the only person in the room, no matter how crowded you feel.  Every image, every person, every thing you see is a reflection of yourself in essence - you may understand that the changes you make internally have no choice but to manifest externally.
