It is discontent that drives, that creates, that urges us on. If we can understand discontent without smothering it by the search for certainty and psychological security, if we can keep that discontent and its flame alive, our problem is simple, because that very discontent is creative, and from that we can move on. But the moment we smother discontent, put it away, resist it, hide it, the mind is concerned merely with the reconciliation of effects, and discontent is no longer a means of going forward and plunging into something unknown. #krishnamurti #meditation #phylosophy #day6 #life
I think I can escape from my discontent by having something more, more clothes or more power and so on. But the dissatisfaction is still there, only I cover it up with clothes, with power, with cars. I just cover it up. Until you find out how to understand what you are, merely covering yourself with words, with power, with position, has no meaning. You will still be unhappy. #krishnamurti #phylospohy #meditation #life #day5
When our water heater stopped working we felt like it was a big big deal. Of course not having hot running water is a very uncomfortable situation. But we reinvented our shower to have hot running water. A better system that is 100 times more reliable than the water heater.
Funny enough when we started to make the video about the new solution, our water heater came back from the dead and started working. Even so I, Tio, still prefer our new shower solution that anyone can actually setup in any van probably.
It costs 50 Euros and you need a water pump, a collapsible bucket, and a kettle.

I don't have a shower in my van but this system is what I plan to use. I have a small foldable pool to catch the water instead of a shower stall. Which pump did you get? I like that it shows the temperature!
Being dissatisfied with and not understanding the fact of what we are, we create the idea of what we should be, so there is a division, a contradiction. Throughout the world, this process is going on, this escape from ‘what is’ through the ideational pursuit of ‘what should be’. And surely, as long as we struggle to bring about an approximation between the fact and the idea, conflict is inevitable. #krishnamurti #phylosophy #meditation #day4 #life
Busy crazy world eh!? Flooded by idiocracy, corruption, power hungry monkeys. Consuming and being consumed.
This year will try my best to publish some videos for TROM. I have been busy, demotivated, and tired lately. This world is so upside down it makes no sense to even mention that. It is obvious. And for those that isn't, they are too deep into brain rot to probably be saved.
Anyway,
Will be traveling with the motorhome for the next weeks. I need to also have a hernia surgery in february or so. And will try my best to create new content for TROM because in the end it is for myself, to keep me sane in this fucked up world.
I am looking forward to the total solar eclipse this year. The outside universe is still the only thing that I deeply enjoy and look "up to" :). I can fantasize that there are other worlds out there, better than ours.
Sure there must be worse worlds. But ours really sucks. Everyone is a slave to the trade society, mentally and physically. Bunch of ants that all they know is to trade this for that. Make profit, sell, lie, deceive, destroy.
Sure there is good stuff happening too. But that's too little of.
De oranje fascist breekt alle internationale regelgeving, valt illegaal een land binnen en kidnapt de president.
NRC: "Met de arrestatie van de Venezolaanse leider Maduro boekt de regering-Trump een succes, maar neemt ze ook een enorm risico. Of het olierijke Zuid-Amerikaanse land nu snel weer een democratie zal worden is hoogst onvoorspelbaar."
Kennelijk smaakte het onmogelijk maken van een centrumcoalitie met GL-PvdA, door leugens over Wijers te verspreiden, naar meer.

Vrije vertaling: "Ik heb met de moordenaar gesproken. We houden de situatie goed in de gaten. De EU heeft herhaaldelijk gezegd dat het slachtoffer geen legitimiteit heeft en dat er een vreedzame oplossing moet komen. Het slachtoffer ligt er nu heel vredig bij.
Onder alle omstandigheden moeten de principes van internationaal recht en het VN handvest worden gerespecteerd. We roepen op tot terughoudendheid: laat dat handvest met rust en laat die rechten verstoffen in een duister hoekje. Vandaar ook dat we geen maatregelen nemen tegen de moordenaar.
De veiligheid van onze eigen burgers is onze topprioriteit, voor de rest zal het allemaal wel."

Ik heb het vaker gezegd. Zonder de steun en de lafheid van centristen zou fascisme geen enkele kans maken.
If you are somewhat intelligent or aware, and if you are dissatisfied with this transient world, you want something permanent, and therefore are constantly seeking: you join a movement, commit yourself to a political party or activity, and so on. You are always active in this search. But this search invariably leads to a predestined end. What you want is comfort, permanency, a state of mind that will never be disturbed, which you call peace. And you will find what you are seeking, but it will not be the real, it will not be truth.
Why am I dissatisfied? I am married, and that does not give me satisfaction; I go to the church or temple, and that does not give me satisfaction; I go to various meetings, and they mean nothing; I look at trees and feel nothing. Gradually, I am dissatisfied with everything I see, have or feel. Which means what? I am seeking a satisfaction in which there is no dissatisfaction at all. #krishnamurti #meditation #philosophy #life #day2
Most of us, right through the world, are disturbed and discontented. Being dissatisfied, we want more prosperity, more things, more books, more amusement. But there is a deeper discontent which is not satisfied by external acquisitiveness. We then pursue inward acquisition, the mind demanding complete satisfaction from this endless discontent. We seek something that is enduring, satisfying, and we call it by different names: God, truth, bliss, happiness. #krishnamurti #philosophy #life #meditation #Day1

in reply to RodinWood • •I will copy paste from the previous reply :) :
It is this pump amazon.es/dp/B0D3XBHTN1 now I see it is more expensive. I got it for under 30€. But there are so many that are super similar.
