Everything is completely different
How should we look at the world, how should we see life?
Everything we put together is in the end only wishful thinking,
no one can foresee how things are connected.
Anyone who thinks they could ever really put the whole picture
together is pretty far off the mark. Everything is one and one is
everything, as the universe expands, so it will also contract
again.
The unfathomable forms of the planets and galaxies show us
dimensions which hint at the squaring of infinity outside of any
imagination. What kind of fortune cookie the fate throws down for
us today?
Let us calm down, the distractions of life do not help over
anything, the empty bodies around us, the language of symbols,
highly psychotic. But there are also gifts that our karma
assigns. The sun doesn't set over the ocean for everyone, are
there things you can bring up in your defense?
Everything is quite different from what we believe, what we
believe is determined by superstition, among the blind the
one-eyed is the queen, among the "normal" she is handicapped.
Whatever may be, even if we grow older it does not mean that we
are wiser, no one is bulletproof. We are in a horror movie, or
maybe not?
Is it all very different?
Everything is quite different as we feel, because we don't feel
things realistically, guilt is in the indictment of probability,
family histories leave a bitter taste, existence is not secured
at all, not materially, not actually, not even in illusion.
What is this coming to, you ask? Are there gods or witches at
work? According to Buddhist philosophy, only when the ego has
come to a standstill does the whole picture emerge, then we can
advance to enlightenment.
Everything is quite different from how we see it, because seeing
is also subject to filters, to free ourselves from pigeonhole
thinking seems difficult, conjured up by those who strive for our
ego.
If you think about it hard, then you know how things really are,
all the incidents that didn't work out suddenly make sense.
I could imagine that the ancestors did not leave their genes and
personality to us in vain, their death ended their life, but not
the relationships once formed. If there should be a rebirth, then
the personality must be transported into the next incarnation
after all.
If this were so, then only the way would be of importance, not
the past and also not the future.
First force your own self into the right track of the good; then
you teach the other. This is how the wise man protects himself
from suffering
