Goodness shows itself in behaviour and action and in relationship. Generally our daily behaviour is based on either the following of certain patterns – mechanical and therefore superficial – or according to very carefully thought-out motive, based on reward or punishment. So our behaviour, consciously or unconsciously, is calculated. This is not good behaviour. When one realizes this, not merely intellectually or by putting words together, then good behaviour comes out of negating what it is not.
The Whole Movement of Life is Learning, chapter 2: Freedom is essential for the beauty of goodness
A meditation on Energy.
All our lives we train to do things. There are all the social mores, all the laws, the way society is organised, and maybe a life spent working for companies and bosses, and psychologically we get a perception of a personal incompetency. We develop skills and ability to get where we are, successfully or not. There is a push to succeed competitively, have a job, buy a house, get ahead, and all that. Why don’t we all live carefully, considerately, and…

hi friends
good to see y'all alive and kicking :)
these days are filled with much turmoil all over the world.. but well.. it has been for ages already of course
it's just that even the somewhat priviliged are now also dealing with government pressure and insecurities
it sure does haunt me, saddens me, upsets me, and all other emotions come and go and come and go
though.. it seems.. to be on my own and to feel through all ongoing craziness from all sides,…

"Efficiency is not an end in itself" Excerpted from "The Whole Movement of Life is Learning" Chapter 39
"The ancient tradition of mankind has been learning, not only from books, but about the nature and structure of the psychology of a human being. As we have neglected this, there is disorder in the world, terror, violence and all the cruel things that are taking place. We have put the world's affairs first and not the inner. The inner, if it is not understood, educated and…

Nationalist Divisions, are producing a more life threatening chaos globally than the Covid pandemic. A World vision report states that three billion of us human beings are going to bed at night without enough food because of the inflation in food prices and vile sanctions that harm generally only the poorest the most, in sanctioned nations. Mile Pompeo the last insane Secretary of State factually stated that he was using United States sanctions unilaterally and in trade wars to produce…

If you ask a question from a good professor about his topic he becomes glad and clarifies it further but if he is a superficial professor and doesn't know his material deeply he becomes disoriented and defying.
Thought to share that observation..

How do we end fear?: We are discussing something which needs your attention, not your agreement or disagreement. We are looking at life most rigorously, objectively, clearly- not according to your sentiment, your fancy, what you like or don't like. It's what we like and don't like that has created this misery. All that we are saying is this: "How do we end fear?" That's one of our great problems, because if a human being can't end it he lives in darkness everlastingly, not everlastingly in…

Was sind wir? Was sind wir - abgesehen vom Namen, von der Form, vielleicht vom Bankkonto (wenn Sie Glück haben), vielleicht von einer Fähigkeit, abgesehen davon, was sind wir? Leiden wir nicht? Oder gibt es kein Leid in Ihrem Leben? Gibt es Angst? Gibt es Sorgen, Habgier, Neid? Beten wir eine Vorstellung an, die der Verstand erschaffen hat? Klammern wir uns an ein Konzept, weil wir uns vor dem Tod fürchten? Leben wir nicht im Widerspruch, indem wir das eine sagen und das andere tun? Das alles…Continue

I have no plan or intention to say or tell others what meditation is, but this is for us to discuss, perhaps discover what is true meditation. I don't think there are many different types of meditation, though there may be. I do think there are many ways to hypnotize myself, believe in something or other and I'm pretty sure others participate in self hypnotizing. However, when one realizes that these many kinds of belief, knowledge, experience, cannot not be true meditation, then I think an…Continue

There is the interest in the writings of K, and we come here to talk together as friends. It is not he or she says such and such, and I respond, reworking what I just read. It is looking carefully, clearly, at the basic essence of what we are communicating together. This looking is not a review, not an examination of what was presented just now in words, not what I know, not an issue, it is a choice-less reflection of the communing together. It is choice-less because there is a free flow of…Continue
