To be soul
11/30/2002
All the story I wrote till now was the
Eastern way to take you by the hand and try to tear you on the path of the Tao,
one of the deepest thoughts in the Tao is the Zen-Buddhist thinking, who says
“never be yourself, be the other”. There is no explaining to that, it is a
soul’s true. I will stop now that thinking from thousand years ago. I will bring
it now in the time of now.
Most of them are my own thoughts, but I will begin to give my thoughts a
scientific background. This comes from the Oxford University, which gives out a
book written by Julian Barbour, the book is called ‘There is no time’. The book
comes out in 1997, it is to buy now written in English in the Dutch bookshops
like the spiritual bookshop ‘Au Bout Du Monde’. It is a scientific book so you
must not try to understand the formulas in it, only you can see how the science
quantum mechanics passed the science of the relativity theory E=mc2
of Einstein. It means energy = mass x light-speed = 360.000 km/sec. square, what
is also not to understand, only he brought the result of this thinking in the
relativity theory. Now Oxford brings the result of the quantum mechanics
thinking and comes to ‘there is no time’. I heard Julian Barbour on the TV and
he said “people will need 50 to 100 years to can think this way”. He was sitting
there with an interviewer and he said to this man “I am here now to promote my
book, but in a spiritual reality I am sitting now in Pennsylvania with friends
drinking coffee. There he said what Zen always had said, thousands years ago
“never be yourself, be the other”.
Yourself is a mirage, it is many emotions, many hurtings, many not worked
out emotions, a danger in your mind. You have to fight them to get no psychoses
from them. You are doing many things in moving and traveling to escape yourself
for a moment. My companion, who types this for me, said “yourself is a creation
from your ego”. She is very clever.
And now I left the East with all its mystics for us Europeans and I came to
the words of Rome, who said 40 years ago all the corpuses from the monks and the
nuns their crosses they pray on, all those corpuses must go away. Because Christ
is not longer the one outside you, you must be Christ by yourself. Some months
later he took also the Maria to the Heaven to make her holy. So now the pope
made from the Europeans, he made all Zen pupils, who are looking to a master and
the last 30 years there comes more and more books from out the East to Europe
and many Europeans are already half Eastern, but they must come to the center of
self-protection “be not yourself, be the other”.
It makes also that a normal European love between man and woman, mostly
come out the hormones, is past when a woman meets a man and she feels that he
looks through her mirage and then the man shows also the other he is and then
they both are together for a whole life, because both have left the normal life
behind them. They still live it, but in their mediations or let us say it easy,
in their sitting in quietness, they go to be the other. When this is easy and
the jungle rule of survive so as a snake has the colors on his skin that he is
one with the nature, you can call this his mirage, and also he needs it to
survive. Christ is the most easy to be the other, because 1000s of years he is
already in the genes of the human, only the conscience was not the
Zen-conscience because the quantum mechanics had not brought the new conscience,
which shows you how easy it is to be him.
People will not longer understand you, because they all are speaking to the
mirage, only the woman with really deep love can pass this and when the man is
open to receive, then there is the total understanding, it is also when the
woman is open to receive the man. The whole erotic field you have left behind
you, that was a creation of your ego. Now in to be the other you are soul.
