Heart & Ear

Many people today are feeling isolated, separated, lonely and desperate.

AND they - especially the elders -are !

This is not something we can simply put aside by imposing positivity and harmony and blame it on a lack of spirituality in them .This is too easy , and it happens because we try to avoid to face excisting suffering in the world and thus stay in our comfort zone and not meet our own fear.

Speaking from my experience , I can tell that since a long time I find that people are less and less interested in what others are, experienced or have to teach and share. They are so imprisoned in there own small world, that everything not in it is just out of view.

Many experiences/knowledge/teachings will be simply lost because noone ever listens or takes interest.

We hear so much complaining about being lonely and that all connections are mostly superficial,that we take some head now to put out ideas and tools how to change this.

So , first thing first ... we need two Organs in the beginning to make the big change ( yes, two Organs, no money , no workshop, no -ism )...:

~Heart and Ear~

those two organs are made for us humans to connect in profound ways with our pack and be social.

You are lonely? ... start listening to others from your heart!

What does that mean? ... open your heart, consider that there is the life of someone else thatis as interesting and important as your own. It has something for you to grow in it.

You look for spiritual growth ? Okay , ... easy ... open your heart and listen ! ... to the birds, the animals , the trees, spirit, the water AND your fellow human being. Spirituality is not what you think ;-) ..

You look for getting out of your isolation ? ... okay... open your heart and listen ...open your heart in a way of not-knowing, fresh as a newborn baby ... put aside all your ideas and concepts,likes and dislikes, and how you -subconsciously- already have judged this person.

Then listen.. listen 100 % ... all ear ... taking in what is said , in words and gestures and feeling and vibration...and vow (maybe only sometimes for the beginner ;-)) to not react, or answer to it Thus you avoid that at the same time you listen you are already planning your elaborate answer/sharing ...

Try this ... and allow to see what happens ... can you see the transformation ?? How the body language of the other changes , how emotions show, how interesting it is what the other shares? How this leads to a deep moment in which all separation is gone ?

Try this ... keep the mind of a beginner, of not knowing ~only bear witness, stay in the moment with WHAT IS ~

and see how real healing is taking place ... without moral concepts , without imposing harmony/positivity, without turning away from suffering and joy as is !

You don't need a special setting outside for this , just a special mode inside ... and you can test it on whoever crosses your path right NOW :)

True Human Beings and True Compassion

As long as we live on this earth , we are subject to relativ & absolute perspectives and we need to balance this in order to live as true human being ~ in the "new age" world of love & light this balance is lost ~ all things are seen from the absolute perspective and harmony is imposed ~ all is one, all is light , all is good ~ w/out including the relative we deal with on a daily base .. the reason is a lack of "knowing yourself" , a lack of courage to face our own true nature with light and shadow and thus a lack of true compassion and ability to stand with the suffering in the world and see the true nature of interdependence and from there help healing in ourselves and in the world ... I am NOT in for that ~ and I will repeat this ever now and then ;-).. and you are very welcome to consider me not your friend as from your perspective this is true ... though I actually love you , but not the way you take .

The Identity of Relative and Absolute ( Buddhist Sutra)

The mind of the Great Sage of India was intimately conveyed from West to East.

Among human beings are wise ones and fools

But in the Way there is no northern and southern Ancestor.

The subtle source is clear and bright; the tributary streams flow through the darkness

To be attached to things is illusion;

to encounter the absolute is not yet enlightenment

.Each and all the subjective and objective spheres are related,

and at the same time independent.

Related and yet working differently.

Though each keeps its own place, form makes the character and appearance different.

Sounds distinguish comfort and discomfort.The dark makes all words one;

the brightness distinguishes good and bad phrases.

The four elements return to their own nature as a child to its mother.

Fire is hot, wind moves, water is wet, earth hard.

Eyes see, ears hear, nose smells, tongue tastes the salt and sour

.Each is independent of the other.Cause and effect must return to the great reality.

The words high and low are used relatively.

Within light there is darkness, but do not try to understand that darkness.

Within darkness there is light, but do not look for that light

Light and darkness are a pair like the foot before and the foot behind in walking

.Each thing has its own intrinsic valueand is related to everything else in function and position.

Ordinary life fits the absolute as a box and its lid.

The absolute works together with the relative like two arrows meeting in mid air.

Reading words you should grasp the great reality.

Do not judge by any standards.

If you do not see the Way,You do not see it even as you walk on it.

When you walk the Way it is not near, it is not far.

If you are deluded, you are mountainsand rivers away from it.

I respectfully say to those who wish to be enlightened

Do not waste your time by night or day!
