Du hörst auf so viel da draußen –
Wieso hörst Du nicht auch
auf Deine eigene innere Stimme
hier drinnen tief im Bauch?

SENSING UPWARDS TOWARDS THE GRAIL
Someone else had to happen before you could happen. Someone else had to come into existence before you could come into existence. Another plane had to be formed before your plane could subsequently arise. A higher species had to be created before you could afterwards develop. You are the result of what someone else left over and pushed out.
You are the lowest of the low, the last of the least, but you don’t know it because you cannot imagine what could be above you or what could have come before you…; Because if you could imagine it and conceptualise it and understand it and know it, you would have been it and not you. Hence, humility is essential for eternal life.
Sensing upwards towards the Holy Grail, you realise that there is always something more – and it came before you. And something came before it. And something came before it. On and on… I realised today that we can never see the Holy Grail. We can only hear of it, be told about it, and sense our way upwards towards the after-effects of what emanates from it.

DAS INNERE
Ich gehe in die Innenwelt hinein
und sie fühlt sich an wie meine Außenwelt;
Ich gehe in die Außenwelt hinaus
und verschanze mich dort in meiner Innenwelt.

VERZICHT UND VERLANGEN
Wer auf die Welt verzichtet,
erhält so viel von der Welt, wie er braucht.
Wer nach der Welt unersättlich lüstet,
verliert Teile von sich, die er zum ewig Leben braucht.

CLARITY
A lot of our time is taken up by the attempt to make ourselves comprehensible to others and to understand them in return. If you listen to any conversation between any two people, you will notice just how much TIME is used up by the effort to transfer information from one to the other. They try multiple words and many different phrases. They repeat the same thing over and over again, with the same and different words.
They ask many questions, sometimes the same question several times, and explain themselves multiple times. All in the attempt to make themselves understood to one another, to transfer the exact and correct piece of information that each carries within to and into the other person’s inside and into the other person’s comprehension capacity. Most of our interactions are a long arduous twisting marathonic endeavour at communication, often ending in only partial success or really no real success at all.
But imagine if there was a way to instantly and accurately transfer exact information between ourselves and into one another. Exact, and above all comprehensible, information. Directly – from mind to mind, from heart to heart, from intuition to intuition. How much time would be saved? And how much misunderstanding would be avoided. So much. This is probably why the best communicators do so with pictures or use words that awaken images within the recipient’s mind. Because a picture is worth a thousand words, they say. But a picture can also be misinterpreted, if the context is not properly explained. It all depends. And that’s the whole point.
And yet… is the effort to communicate not an intrinsic part of the very purpose of existence? Is is not the one side of the coin of consciousness with which we pay and earn our development? And the other side of the coin is the effort to bring clarity within one’s own inner life. Because the more you try to make something comprehensible to another, the clearer it becomes to you too. And the clearer it becomes to you, the easier it is to communicate it to someone else, sometimes with just one mental picture awakened within them that brings intuitive comprehension and intellectual clarity.

MEIN HERZ IST RAUCH
Mein Herz ist Rauch
Vergebens greifst Du nach ihm
Mein Herz ist ein Stein
Vergeblich redest Du Unsinn mit ihm
Mein Herz ist ein Fluss
Vergeblich bleibst Du stehen in ihm
Mein Herz ist ein Traum
Vergebens kehrst Du zurück zu ihm.

VIELSEITIG
Im Herzen der Einheit
gibt es viele Einheiten
geteilt in Gemeinheiten
getrennt durch Ungereimtheiten
Gut gemeint der große Moment
Ein Herz, das vielseitig brennt
Wiedervereint und wiedergetrennt?

INTENSE PAIRINGS
Brief meetings
Deep meanings
Short stories
Long memories
Quick to start
Fast to part
Slow to leave the heart.

LASS SIE MACHEN
Lass die Menschen machen
was sie machen wollen –
Aus ihrem Handeln werden sie lernen
was sie machen sollen –
Und nur so wirst Du sie einordnen können
in ihre wahrhaftigen Rollen.

DIE SEITEN EINES KAPITELS
Menschen sind wie Bücher Und so unterschiedlich wie Bücher Und wie Bücher haben sie ihre Seiten, Die einen wenige, die anderen viele Seiten - Sie erscheinen auch nicht alle gleichzeitig, Ihre Seiten, sondern in Kapiteln, aber zeitig. Niemanden kennst Du ganz, Du kennst nur die Seiten einer Lebensphase. Zeit ist mächtiger als Distanz - Was Du Realität nennst, ist nur eine Blase.
