Implicity

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 02:19:38 +0200

”The highest form of love is all-encompassing love. All-encompassing love is divine love. We find it through devotion. And, the defining hallmark of devotion is implicity.
Implicit love does not expect anything, does not have any purpose, makes no deals. It does not criticise and does not complain. It does not set store by being great, powerful or impressive. Most of the time it is plain and modest, unspectacular. But, it enchants every moment, like a smile lightens up a face.
When implicit love is present, it seems to be the most natural thing in the world, and the most beautiful thing in the world. Every time we let ourselves be filled with implicit love, love does take us onto a quantum leap - we start loving all others, just the way they are.
All forms of separation, even the most subtle ones are overcome. We become a flawless diamond through which the light of truth shines into reality. In the state of implicity we feel the strong hand of personal and transpersonal inner guidance. We can follow it, trusting completely the order of the whole. To be lead by inner guidance is graciousness.
Implicity is a gift. An implicit heart loves because of love. It does not take anything personal. Thus, it is not involved in the dramas of the others. It does not desire. Thus, it does not envy. Thus, it does not hate. Thus, it does not know the negative. It looks at the world with the eyes of the observer. And, this view enables it to achieve a extraordinary level of objectivity. Because it doen‘t take anything personal, even in difficult situations, it can look beyond the personal to the universal consciousness.
Implicit love sees through the male and the female, penetrate the facades of cultures and religions - the symbols, images, myths, dogmas … it perceives the whole play of consciousness.
Whenever implicit love is confronted with feelings of rejection, criticism, cantakerousness, enmity and hate it looks at these with the unperturbed gaze of the testimony and breathes itself through to the unlimited field of love. It accepts the situation, learns from it and remains always settled in love.
This does not mean that we have to say yes to every repulsiveness or we have to put up with everything. Not to take it personal means that we are not anymore subject to projections. They are reflected at an invisible boundary.
An implicit love is a sovereign heart. It can not be touched by any judgement. The implicit viewpoint enables uns to make choices everytime - an authentic, free choice, detached from all conditionings, indoctrinations and identifications, liberated from the spider web of the mental Ego.
Not least, implicit love enables an exact jugdement. Because, we can judge others only if we are able to look in their hearts and love them implicitly. Implicity is the door to freedom.“

Mastery

Sun, 13 Jun 2010 23:48:34 +0200

To walk the path of mastery is to take on creative sovereighty and responsability.
The master knows: ”Insight teaches me that I am nothing. Love teaches me that I am everything. In between flows my life.“
In Between all is connected to eveything and follows the principle, the laws of love. Mastery equals to understand, that love, the connection itself, is governed by two dynamic principles, a horizontal one and a vertical one.
The horizontal principle of connectedness operates in the dimension we call „reality“, and this fundamental principle is recognized by all disciplines of science, from cybernetics and system theory to biology an quantum physics.
Das vertikale Prinzip der Verbindung hingegen ist ewig präsent in dem, was wir als Wahrheit bezeichnen, es ist das kosmische Gesetz der Verbindung, das wesentlich Beziehungshafte von allem, es ist die Urenergie, es ist die Liebe. Die großen Weisheitstraditionen der Menschheit wissen durchgängig von diesem kosmischen Verbindungskanal, den es immer freizuhalten gilt, zu berichten.
Erleuchtung wird gemeinhin als ein Zustand bezeichnet, der dem Erleben der Trennungslosigkeit (der „unio mystica“) in der vertikalen Dimension folgt. An diese Erfahrung sind viele Missverständnisse gekoppelt, denn für die Meisterschaft genügt es nicht, das Erleuchtungserlebnis gehabt zu haben, erforderlich ist auch, ein Weltbild in sich zu tragen oder: in ein Weltbild eingebettet zu sein, das auf Verbindung beruht und die Erleuchtungserfahrung widerspiegelt. Viele Erleuchtete meinen, die Fahrprüfung schon bestanden zu haben, indem sie ihr Alleins-Erlebnis in die Horizontale mit ihren Trennungsillusionen projizieren.
Fataler Weise stellen sie damit eine neue Trennung her, eine Trennung zwischen der „richtigen“ Welterkenntnis der Vertikalen und der „falschen“ Illusion der Horizontalen. Sie verkennen die eigentümliche und geheimnisvolle Verbindungsmechanik, die in der horizontalen Dimension wirkt, die faszinierenden Synchronizität welche beide Dimensionen verbindet – und steuern ihr Erleuchtungsmobil womöglich in die Gräben der Egomanie, des Machtmissbrauchs oder des Zynismus. „Ich bin so, wie ich bin“ sagt solch ein Erleuchteter, und sieht nicht, wie Gott ihn anlächelt.
Der Meister hingegen erkennt, dass es auch hier keine Unterscheidung gibt, dass die Verbindung alldimensional ist, und er nimmt die Position der Mitte ein, er balanciert im Schnittpunkt des Fadenkreuzes der Vertikalen und Horizontalen, auf des Messers Schneide, fein austariert und zentriert mithilfe Gyroskops in seinem Herzen. Von hier aus hat er einen 360-Grad-Rundumblick, er steht still, ist aber nicht bewegungslos, er reitet die Wellen der Horizontalität - seiner Wahrnehmung -, die sich aus dem Meer der Vertikalität bilden.
Der Meister ruht im Wendepunkt, im Wesentlichen – er ist auf den Punkt gekommen, denn sein Weltbild besteht auf Verbindung.
Der Meister ist in der Lage, immer wieder den Punkt zu finden und hält den vertikalen Kanal der Erkenntnis offen. Projektionen nimmt er weder an noch sendet er sie aus. Er steht im Licht und lässt das Dunkle „da sein“.
Der Meister nimmt nichts persönlich. Für ihn gibt es nur Geschenke, Lösungen und Weichenstellungen. Denn er weiß, eine Ordnung durchdringt alles, den Kosmos mit seinen Millionen fein aufeinander abgestimmten Vorgängen ebenso wie seine körperliche und geistige Welt.
Der Meister ist im Herzen verankert, er wandelt auf der Herzensachse und erschafft in der Horizontalen durch sein Handeln, Denken und Verhalten eine Wirklichkeit, die von Liebe durchdrungen ist.
Er tut, was getan werden muss, in ihm fallen Handeln und Sein zusammen, sein Tun ruht im Sein und in seinem Hier und Jetzt manifestiert sich lebendig die ursprüngliche Information. Der Meister behält es sich vor, selbst zu wissen, ob, wann und wie es passiert.

Dimensions of Self

Sun, 2 May 2010 16:26:09 +0200

When we gain access to the various fields of our consciousness, our highest potential is opened up; creative sovereignty.
This is what enables us to transfer all our individual traits and talents to a higher level, indeed to bring them to their highest perfection, to potentiate our intelligence and develop genius and complete responsibility for ourselves.
It is for this reason that we find models of thought in which the whole human being is divided up into single categories in all of the world’s cultures. All of these models are rooted in their sense of perfection and their efforts to tap into their highest potential and to bring about healing. The best-known of these models are the classification into body, soul, and spirit, the esoteric view of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies that differentiate the levels of the energy-body, and the distinction between consciousness, the subconscious and the superconscious.
Here, we choose the division of the individual self into three dimensions. We shall refer (somewhat tersely) to these dimensions as the “higher, lower and middle selves” in what follows. The names are just as arbitrary as the divisions they signify. All that matters is that the classification selected allows us to understand the essence and the principles of the self and leads us to self-realization by the fastest route.
Consciousness as such is a continuum. No one is there to stop us from dividing it into four, five, ten, or more parts and designat- ing them with completely different concepts. The Tibetans, who possess the most highly differentiated methods for enlightenment, distinguish a total of twelve forms of consciousness.
Three categories fully suffice for self-realization. The journey with the vehicle of cosmic consciousness demands a more detailed road map. The terms “higher,” “lower” and “middle self ” are useful on the one hand because they are neutral and do not give rise to any false associations; and on the other because they are consistent with divisions already established in many wisdom traditions that have proven their usefulness.
What is important is that we give these parts names. This is the way they become existent for us; In the beginning was the Word. Naming is the beginning of the act of creation. Please note that we are in the paradoxical quantum domain in which we also hear, “Thou shalt not make any graven image of me.” If we wish to focus on truth and reality simultaneously and not to mistake momentary creation for the one and only truth, we must take heed of this para- dox, this “divine dichotomy.” Only if we succeed here, can we avoid falling prey to maya, illusion.
In addition, the terms, “higher,” “middle” and “lower self” reflect the natural, holonic hierarchy that underlies the various dimensions. The Higher Self, or superconscious, represents the supreme authority. The lower self or subconscious is embedded in the Higher Self. Our middle self, that aspect of our consciousness of which we are in fact conscious, is by far the smallest domain – just a tiny island within the unimaginably wide oceanic horizons of con- sciousness of the higher and lower selves. But an important island, nonetheless. Because it is only from here that we can immerse our- selves in the other two domains.
Each of the three selves can be regarded as an autonomous enti- ty with its own laws and specific functions, and also as an aspect of the self as a whole as well. Seen in the light of the unio mystica, this whole self is nothing less than the All-One – in the state of enfoldment. The higher, lower and middle selves are typical holons; wholes and parts at the same time and here in consciousness as everywhere else, the principle that their interactions are what is really essential holds true.
Without the One Movement, that David Bohm termed the holo-movement and that we refer to as life energy, everything remains just a lifeless plan. Within the One Movement, however, every part reveals itself to be relatively inde- pendent, autonomous and stable; and it does so due to the particular way in which it actively enfolds the Absolute – and therefore all other parts - in itself.
Ultimately, the internal connection among the aspects of con- sciousness is what is decisive. But this internal connection is only then clear and meaningful when the Absolute is given primacy, while the other aspects take second place in the sense that what they are and what they do can only be understood in the light of their primordial ground to begin with. The contents of the consciousness of each and every human being are an enfolding of the entirety of being, physically and mentally, internally and externally. And this enfolding is active, simply because it flows into and becomes those very actions that make up the essential constitution of what a human being is.
In this way, every human being is inwardly connected with the truth and outwardly with the entirety of reality, including nature and all of humanity. Because we are holographic entities, every part of us is a link to all possible realities that ever were or will be. We are the whole and a part of it at the same time. We are who we are - a substantial being, a body, woven into the net of space and time of the explicate order. And we are the mirrors of everything that exists in the explicate order at the same time. We are always both: Identity, i.e. individuals and EVERYTHING, wholeness. The structures of our being are literally reflections of the structures of the cosmic energy field. We are all projections of one single whole and we all project our reality into this whole at the same time.

Evolution

Sat, 24 Apr 2010 23:57:41 +0200

Love is the spiral impulse of becoming, it is the pulse of evolution.
Love is that special and unique capability that does not use the other, rather it promotes its independence, it does not hinder its development, it does not create friction and does not waste any energy.
The connecting power of love is the true motor of evolution, because evolution is not driven by the separating force of competition - as 19th century science, focussing on how a species competed with other species in a certain habitat, believed.
Rather it is love and cooperation within a species that drives its evolution and evolution in general, love is is the complimentary force that is responsible for the conjunction of all that is living, regardless of species.
Evolution, the devolopment of all living beings driven by love, does not waste anything and passes the impuls of becoming always on, in a in einem caleidoscope of colours and forms.

Humility

Sun, 4 Apr 2010 14:44:26 +0200

Humility at all times has been regarded to be the outstanding spiritual virtue.
It is the the pivot of spiritual transformation. It unites the personal and the whole, the finite and the infinite, the temporal and the eternal. Humility unlocks the ability to consciously conjoin the divine and the human, here and now, in the power of the moment.
Humility is the courage to align all endeavors with the Highest, and this can only be achieved by someone who has somehow grasped the great context. It is the eventual approach to the divine, to the great will and thereby to one‘s own creative sovereignty.
“Let thy will be” does mean nothing else but: „I will listen to my Inner Voice, I will follow the laws of Truth, and I will tie myself to the creative will that guides the world.“
Humility is the courage, to entrust oneself to the will of love and the power of connection, the courage, to synchronize one‘s own will with the cosmic will. Because the interplay of invididual and divine will is what defines creation. In Humility the invidual yearning for perfection merges with the will of the whole for harmony.
The Inner Voice tells us through joy, if and when the merger of yearning and cosmic harmony drive happens and how strong it is.

Primordial Ground

Primordial ground, everything flows, pantha rhei, omnia fluxit, it flows into each other, under each other, through each other, it is not yet formed, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, it conceives itself, it commits itself, it remains undefined ... until it is perceived, it manifests itself, and continues to change ...

Creation

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 01:35:40 +0100

Creation happens on many levels and in as yet unconceivable processes.
From planetary creation to the evolution of species and the many processes of birth, there seems to be a common factor that is supportive of live. From the Gaia hypothesis of James Lovelock to the Biocentrism theory of Robert Lanza the purpose of the universe seems to be to create life.
Lovelock found (by examinig data from the Pionieer probes) that our planet maintains a continuous temperature favourable to life - against all statistical odds which suggest that solar ourbursts, meteorite impacts, planetarary axe shifts and other events should be followed by severe changes in temperature.
Lanza deducts from his findings as a stem cell reseacher that everything in our own biology is a gigantic system of trillions of processes that have one single purpose: maintain and create life.

One Movement

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:26:56 +0200

If we let a drop of ink fall into a glass filled with glycerin and then stir the glycerin, the drop of ink will become increasingly diluted, until it is no longer visible. It is now “enfolded” in the liquid. If we stir the mixture in the reverse direction, it reappears.
When the drop of ink is enfolded in the glycerin it is present, but only in an implicate state. When we see it, it is explicate. The drop of ink is always there; it has simply altered its state.
This is how we can describe the fundamental order of things out of which the perceptible world with its fabric of things and appearances emerges through One Movement of unfolding.
“Implicate order” is the term with which Physicist David Bohm signified the order that is contained invisibly within the whole (tao; brahman; absolute truth).
The external world is the unfolded, or explicate order (atman, relative truth). And the primary aspect of being is that One Movement of endless enfolding and unfolding, enfolding and unfolding, enfolding and unfolding …
Within the implicate order everything is enfolded in everything else. This means that the entire universe is actively enfolded in each and every one of its parts through the One Movement. The dynamic activity of enfolding and unfolding thus provides every part of the whole with an inner aspect of wholeness and an outer aspect of individual form – with the consequence that even in this One Movement the whole and therefore all other parts are implicate!
In the domain of the implicate we are all parts of each other and of the whole, we permeate each other and are interwoven with each other. But in the domain of the explicate we are separate entities. Thus matter unfolds itself and then enfolds itself into its background again.
This is the foundation of the existence of everything, ourselves included. The things that appear to our senses are derivatives, and their true meaning only becomes visible when we observe the plenum in which they are generated and maintained, and in which they must also ultimately disappear.
