I hope we are thinking together, observing together, as two friends walking along a road and seeing what is around us, not only what is very close and immediately perceived, but what is in the distance. We are taking the journey together, perhaps affectionately, hand in hand – two friends amicably examining the complex problem of life, neither of them leader or guru, because when one sees actually that our consciousness is the consciousness of the rest of mankind, then one realises that one is both the guru and the disciple, the teacher as well as the pupil, because all that is in one’s consciousness. That is a tremendous realisation. So as one begins to understand oneself deeply, one becomes a light to oneself and not dependent on anybody, on any book or on any authority – including that of the speaker – so that one is capable of understanding this whole problem of living and of being a light to oneself.

Mag je ook nog even de accounts van @Grutjes deblokkeren, die je blokkeerde nadat het blog je beleefd verzocht om in gesprek te gaan over die bizarre aantijgingen.
Oh en als je toch eindelijk eens verantwoording neemt mag je ook nog even sorry zeggen tegen Anja Meulenbelt wiens foto je zonder toestemming te vragen van de website van Grutjes hebt gejat om boven je aanval te zetten.
Groetjes,

As long as we are trying to achieve a psychological result, as long as we want inward security, there must be a contradiction in our lives. I do not think most of us are aware of this contradiction, or if we are, we do not see its real significance. On the contrary, contradiction gives us an impetus to live; the very element of friction makes us feel that we are alive. The effort, the struggle of contradiction, gives us a sense of vitality. That is why we love wars, that is why we enjoy the battle of frustrations. So long as there is the desire to achieve a result, which is the desire to be psychologically secure, there must be a contradiction; and where there is contradiction, there cannot be a quiet mind. Quietness of mind is essential to understand the whole significance of life.

The engineer has been taught how to achieve certain physical results by the application of the knowledge man has gathered through the centuries, and you have been taught how to achieve certain inner results by controlling your thoughts, cultivating virtue, doing good works, and so on, all of which is equally a matter of knowledge gathered through the centuries. The engineer has his books and teachers, as you have yours. Both of you have been taught a technique, and both of you desire to achieve an end, you in your way, and he in his. You are both after results. And is God, or truth, a result? If it is, then it’s put together by the mind, and what is put together can be rent asunder.

Outwardly, you discipline and renounce, you chart your course, step by step, to reach the end. You measure the progress of your achievement according to the standards of virtue: how you have given up this or that, how controlled you are in your behaviour, how tolerant and kind you are, and so on. You have learnt the art of concentration, and you withdraw into a forest, a monastery or a darkened room to meditate; you pass your days in prayer and watchfulness. Outwardly, you have made your life simple, and through this thoughtful and calculated arrangement, you hope to reach the bliss that is not of this world. But is reality reached through external controls and sanctions? Though outward simplicity, the putting aside of comfort, is obviously necessary, will this gesture open the door to reality?

Wat een eikels zijn jullie toch, Doorbraak. En het is zo ontzettend onnodig. Je had dit gewoon kunnen uitpraten, zelfs na je belachelijke persoonlijke aanval, zelfs nadat je ervoor koos om niet Pegida maar de activisten tégen Pegida aan te vallen.
In plaats daarvan dit totaal laffe gedrag. Je strijdmakkers in de rug aanvallen en wegduiken.
En waarom? De enige reden die ik er voor kan bedenken is dat je zo kan laten zien aan de wereld dat je nog woker dan woke bent. Als je degene kunt aanvallen die naast je staat te vechten, in plaats van degene waarmee we zouden moeten vechten, dan ben je vast nog meer incrowd dan die kameraad, dan ben je vast moreel superieur en moeten mensen naar je luisteren.
