π§ββοΈ "Egoists insist on the freedom of their own ideas. They condemn
their souls to remain in bitter captivity. The truly fortunate among
us learn to fathom the almost limitless possibilities which are
illuminated by the Master and make their souls abide in bliss. "

π§ββοΈ "If there is any possibility at all to 'overcome' one's own egoism,
then ... through the unrestricted willingness, of self-reflection.
The presence of a Master is the most perfect 'tool' for it. "

π§ββοΈ "Tradition is often enough a state that resembles a stay in a railway station.
The train has left the track long ago but still the 'passengers' talk about the good
old times, the great view during the journeys and the wonderful, good smelling
leather in the compartments...
Those who hold on to the ashes of deceased masters should stop for a
moment and realise how traditions are created. They are born in a fire
of visions and exactly this fire is necessary to keep a tradition alive. "

π§ββοΈ "...in my life I have been attacked again and again for not seeing things
objectively, realistically and scientifically. I have always been made to look
as if I were completely 'off-the-mark' with my spiritual approach to life.
Isn't it funny that the critics very often got excited in their portrayals?!
How obective, reality-based & scientific is such an approach...? " π

π§ββοΈ A very good friend once said:
"...in our hours of despair, we expect nothing less than
a miracle. Too bad ... we no longer believe in magic! "

π§ββοΈ "Not only the people around me reflect who I am and what my life is.
Especially also the plants and wild animals, bear witness ... and yes, all
for the same reason. They are all 'mirrors' of my own struggle or delight"

made in situations where logic somehow had a holiday. "

π§ββοΈ "It is true, nature intended that we know nothing about how it was before we were born.
Does that automatically mean that everything began with birth/conception? The extent to
which a person has access to information about his past simply depends on his level of
development. For most people, what happens on a daily basis is more than enough. For
them, it would make little sense to be confronted with even more information... "

(I confided in an Indian doctor some decades ago. He read my pulse with three
fingers ... for a few seconds. After that he told me what my food preferences
were, what my flat looked like, what problems my mother had in the third
month of her pregnancy and so much more... He liked me a lot and so he
tought me a few things about healing & cooking, God bless him for it!) ... π
π§ββοΈ "Ultimately, there is little I can do about how someone portrays themselves.
This is another reason why I am more concerned with correcting the way I
present myself, ... if necessary. "

π§ββοΈ "Modern man, too, still resembles a tea bowl in his nature.
However, 'it-is' today, in very many people, filled to the brim
with ambition, ideas, worry etc.. That is why it overflows in
every situation & the person has lost the ability to take in
from someone else ... even if it would be wise. "

π§ββοΈ "It may come to you in a moment, like a revelation ... and you feel
the unbearability of how insignificant your life is. You may never have
had ambitions to conquer the world by force... but still hoped to make
a difference.
Open your eyes .... hold on!
Seconds later, a thought swings into mind. Raku Tea Bowls should only
be made by artists when they have transformed their ambition & pride.
This should apply many times more when it comes to being a solid
example & raw model for human concerns. It is precisely this aspect
that is almost completely disregarded by today's politicians.
SO, I GUESS ... those who seek the degree of their success in the
echoes of the existing chaos have either NOT yet found their way
or have long since LOST it. "

π§ββοΈ "There may be a few souls who find love with a partner & then spend it together
during their time on earth. However, I believe that most of these Lucky Ones only
experience a moment when the universe gives these two people a brief glimpse.
The 'living together' then almost always happens in frames that the intellect can
grasp ... we simlpe prefer to live within the supposedly safe confines of our own
imagination. "

π§ββοΈ "Many people do not want answers at all, only a confirmation of
what they consider 'good & right'. To the same extent, they are not
looking for love, ... but their own idea of it. "

π§ββοΈ "A person who does not perceive the influences of the environment and
fellow human beings on his own body has no chance of shaping his life in
