Lao Tze’s Tau Teh Ching states that justice only becomes an issue when original truth has become corrupt. Law books are getting bigger and bigger and you can never have enough of them, because they don’t work and are not true to reality. The idea that people should be kept under control by the state is wrong, even within a so-called democracy. In a democracy you can choose your oppressor, does that help?
When the concept of ‘peace’ is mentioned, almost everyone immediately thinks of war. That is because peace is first situated in the outside world, and only then does one examine one’s own inner self. The idea is: if there is peace in the world, I can finally experience inner peace. In my view, this view is a major blunder. Peace always begins in the inner self, then the outside world can begin to form harmonious symptoms. It is completely unbelievable that internally divided souls will create peace in the world. They can’t do that, they are compulsive dividers.
Inner peace, how do you achieve that? To get straight to the point: you cannot achieve that, inner peace is immediate. Everything that suggests a path to it is already divided from the start and can never arrive there. Inner peace is already here, but it can be overlooked by assuming a path to it. Such a path involves time and thought; inner peace is the absence of both.
War and conflict involve at least two opposing parties. Inner conflict has opposing interests that cannot be reconciled. Yes folks, thinking is complex and will not save us from the madness that arose just after man placed thinking on the throne of wisdom. Thinking is foolish in itself, just an instrument, a tool. When this fact is lost, the world’s problems seem insoluble.
Peace is. This is the starting point of a right-thinking person, who has recognized the Heart on the throne of wisdom and whose thinking serves this Heart in everything. The Heart is universally present in every person, so a right-thinking person is not a compulsive divider but heals through all his actions.
What you do not want to happen to you, do not do to others either. This simple rule ensures that inner peace is not violated. Inner conflict still follows belief systems that violate this principle. You cannot simply switch off such thinking, but when you are awake you can easily bypass these types of dividing thoughts. This is the choice that every person has every moment: the Heart, or allow even more dualistic excesses? So even though your mind is in chaos and conflict, the choice for the Heart has already left that mindset. Let the mind rage, the radical choice for the Heart immediately gives the feeling of relief. You feel, without a doubt, that your new course means healing, end of war, commitment to peace. And not as a dogmatic duty because otherwise an angry God will punish you, no no, your eye of discernment guides you like a blessing that produces joy in freedom.
Spirituality is often seen as the opposite of materialism. In my opinion it is not. Materialism is a facet of mature spirituality. Spiritual consciousness knows that free will is originally creative, that peace and war are creations of man himself. Dealing with matter is wise or extremely divided and stupid, depending on man’s discernment and awakened Heart or not.
The Heart is here. Origin is here. Thinking wants to be kept busy and needs the option of time to do so. This addiction is called ego. No one is ego, but many pretend to be. An ego will obviously never realize the Heart, because that immediately means ego death. So egos make compromises, and their spirituality is of the level of New Age and tarot cards. I don’t want to judge anyone, but it is useful to distinguish certain things. Only the mind thinks it can learn the best next step through a deck of cards, the immediate Heart knows that every medium is a detour that merely introduces noise.
The body is also an instrument, just like the mind. People easily forget that because they learned that they were once born and one day they will die. Yes, the entire personality that has been learned will fail with the body, but what would that mean? I don’t feel pain that I didn’t exist as such a hundred years ago, expecting pain from my absence after my death sounds completely crazy to me. The Heart knows no fear in this, the mind knows nothing but fear. You are not the body-mind, recognize that immediately. Not tomorrow, now.
To realize origin is to allow fullness. Not difficult, simple. Just look at who is looking, without using a mirror. Just let your attention go to who pays attention. Realize at this very moment that everything you experience arises into the ineffable that can apparently contain everything you imagine. Have a feeling for it. It has always been the case. Ego and thinking are powerless here, and they know it. That’s why they make so much noise, because if they lose your attention, it means their death. Then the war will end, and they don’t want that. They are war.
Every day I know the most crazy thoughts, which are hateful and violent. I don’t fight with them anymore because that’s more of the same. That is why it is a wrong idea to cut something off, discernment is enough. Instead of denying or cutting off: acknowledge and simply pass. I choose the Heart.
There’s no problem unless you want one. You may be homeless tomorrow, but there is no such thing as a problem. Problematic thinking exists, the Heart immediately deals with what is present. Realizing the difference between these two possibilities can trigger an avalanche of sensations that often lead to moments of fear and disorientation. No problem, unless you want one. The Heart watches what falls, and sees with confidence that the Heart cannot really fall in any being. It is the Only That Is.
