Weekends

October 25th, 2008

Great Volker! How have you been? Enjoying your special time in life…your weekends.

It’s the time to get closer to yourself, resting, relaxing, joying friends, family and your special lover.

I don’t mean the other aren’t for that purpose, but We are not wiser enough to realize that. It’s foolish, but we make some confusion in life, believing that everything happens outside of our mind and for that, we need time to make contact to our inner side.

One day we will achieve the balance within our actions and all and everything will become enjoyable.

Have a lovely day

L&K

Inspiration or just teasing ;-)

Marcelo,

I spoke to someone the other day who said that my personal blog is not as read-worthy as this one. Responding to my question why that is, he said that we are actually discussing topics and suggest food for thought. My personal blog just writes what comes to my mind.

Here we go M-I-N-D – where, who, which, what and how do we use it?

Karma – every action is provoking another action. There is the “living in the now” but there is also the past and future, influenced by our Karma/Action.

Mind – is something we make up? Like soul? Or, maybe not making it up, but is it something we cannot grasp. Do we need to and why?

The mind is influencing our life, our Karma, as the mind will influence our acting, which is influenced by Karma ?!

Marcelo, you confuse me. What is the difference between mind and karma? I mean, what is the difference between the influence of karma and mind on your action. Would they not both influence our action?

I need to look it up but I read that someone said once that there is “only now”. Living in the here and now, Tolle’s book, the Power of Now, speaks about it. Have you heard about it/read it? I have but do not remember much and need to re-visit the book in detail. It is a way to spiritual enlightment, making use of the now and stop worrying about the past, if I remember right.

We need to train. Train to achieve enlightment, to achieve a good position in work, love and life. I find it is easier to actually train for the job, more hours every day. Instead I should sit down more often and reflect on my personal life – what about time for friends, family and myself?

I am going to see Dan Millman - have you heard of him and his books about the “peaceful warrior”? He is in London in 2 weeks, very exciting!

So, the most exciting question, is your mind in your hands – and if so, where is your soul :-)

Love and Kindness
Volker

Emptiness – is it unreal?

August 19th, 2008

Marcelo,

That is a lot of input.

You are saying that emptiness is the ultimate nature of everything. The ultimate nature of everything is emptiness. Does that make sense? Does that mean, we are nothing, come from nothing and go nowhere. Is it that? Why are we here and how are we doing the right things being here (earth?)?

If nothing is self-existent, everything is created from Karma/wisdom – and if there is a greater unconscious (see Jung) where we all have access to, who is it that determines that a certain Karma/thought comes to us. Are we accessing this “bundle of thoughts”?

Pointing you to my mind – that was your other question. Hmm, another difficult one. Did we not speak about it before. Is it in our chakra, the “enlightenment chakra” above our head?

Marcelo, I am not sure if I answered your question, neither am I sure whether I can answer your question. What is happening with us? Are we just puppets that connect via an imaginary cable to the clouds of unconsciousness? And, who determines what we “download” from there?

What do you think?
