Part 7. The BOOK of the books
39. The Game of Life and the stories in the Bible
Only in the Bible there are stories, that tell, what the Knowing Thyself has to do with the Final Goal and how you can get there. And what kind of personal changes that requires from the person.
The most beautiful story is in the Bible of how this human suffering and behavior started. What were the words, that started the Game of Life.
I got the words the Game of Life, when I thought, that this kind of material - Know Thyself - is to heavy for the people. Everybody wants to be saved, but nobody wants to do it difficulty. So I thought, that I make it in the form of computer game. The questions would be made by the computer not by a human being, me. The player would play with the impersonal thing. And there wouldn’t be a question, that I personally asking the question, would make myself a better person. Later I Perceived, that it is not the Real Game of Life. The Real Game is, what we are playing all the time in our life. So you are already playing the Game of Life.
If the life is a game and I mean it with the capital letter, Game, then there have to be the creator of the Game. There also have to be the starting word or the starting point, when the Game got started. I have already said, that many things in the Bible, mostly in the New Testament, are not for the ordinary person. They don’t help him. Because a person can understand or Perceive them only after he Knows Absolutely Himself. The certain words also describe, what kind of a person he is.
If there is a Game, there is also the Final Goal of the Game, The End of the Game. That seems to me to be the Knowing Absolutely Oneself. The Bible is not very interested in what comes after that or it is rightly done very vague.
The Game of Life is bigger, than the religions. In a different way to say it the Life is higher than the religions. The religions serve the Life.
So let’s discover the Game of Life from the Genesis.
40. The book of Genesis and the real story about the ’falling into the sin’
I make it short. You have been thought, that the God was very angry to Adam and Eva, because they didn’t obey the God. Read again! You couldn’t be more wrong!
God made the clothes for them. Was it a sign, that God was angry?
Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
And here are the words, that describe, why God had to send them away. Not because they had sinned, but because now there was a crisis in the Eden. The tree of life that had no function in the Eden, became the problem. So the reason was not Adam or Eve and what they had done.
Earlier the tree of life had no function. As the verse 3:22 tells you, the tree gave the live for ever. Earlier it was not forbidden to eat from that tree, because Adam and Eva had still then the life for ever. So the tree of life had no influence. But now when they had eaten from the tree of good and evil, the tree of life became a good excuse to lead Adam and Eva away from the influence of the tree of life. And the Game of Life began.
Genesis 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
To send him forth… doesn’t seem to me either an angry deed. Nor it indicates, that Adam and Eve had sinned.
Let’s see more. At the beginning there was two threes in the middle of the Eden.
Genesis 3:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The trees had a different functions:
Genesis 3:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Genesis 3:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
So Adam was not forbidden from eating the tree of life. In old Finnish Bible, the last part of the 3:17 is a little more sinister, ”you die with the death”. What is the death for us? Is the worst thing there is. Real evil thing. We would have been instead of Adam very much afraid and we would have obeyed. But did Adam had some knowledge about evil or bad things? No! So to me the warning of God has of the same value, than if I would warn a cave man, that you don’t get from me gasoline for your motor bike, if you don’t do this and that. So the warning was definitely not for the Adam. If it was for us, then the main purpose would be to mislead us.
The same thing is, but a bigger one, if I ask you to tell me, if Adam or Eva could do bad things that are opposite the good deeds, before they took from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad? No they couldn’t do bad things. They didn’t know nothing about badness or goodness. They did what they did, because they were like a child under one year. They were childlike persons. Can you demand that kind of child to obey. Or can you imagine, that that kind of child does bad deeds. You can do bad things only if you know the good from the bad and you have a feeling of me or self.
Why God had to put the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the center of Eden? The only reason I can guess is, that in His plan was to lead them sooner or later to take one fruit from the tree. And then the goal of God was to start the Game of Life. In many ways He could have made it sure, that they don’t take the fruit from that tree. But that didn’t suit the Plan of the God. So we know the result, because we are still Playing the Game with no success at all.
Also to me is clear, that Adam and Eva didn’t sin, didn’t do a bad thing that is the opposite of a good thing. So they didn’t fall into sin. They were lured to fall into the relative operation system of the thoughts. And the solution for the Game is to go what ever way there is into the Absolute System, where Adam and Eva were before they took the fruit from the wrong tree. To solve the Game you have to change the system. That is All!
So read the Bible a little bit more carefully or better still Know Absolutely Yourself and you know the Words and their Meaning.
Addition: Let's talk about the sin! Take a child, that is under one year old and has no me or self. His life is not leaded by the thoughts. He has no conception of good and evil. He is not relative in his thinking. Can he sin? Or is this 'childlike' person without the sin?
So to me Adam and Eva didn’t sin and nor does a small child.. But let's go even farther! Let' think about the sin through the system. We have that kind of thought, that when we do a bad thing we sin. Then we think, that there is a possibility to do the good deeds. It may even bring us some advantages in the final goal mater. If we do good deeds, we go to Heaven.
Adam and Eva fell into the system of knowledge of good and bad. Do you agree? So the good and bad belongs to the same system. Do you agree? It means to me, that good and bad are equals. The are same kind of parts in the system. Bad isn’t really bad, because a human being cannot do himself a thing. He is always either doing or thinking bad things. The same is with the good. The good is not good, but it is as bad as the bad. They are equals, opposite parts in the same system.
They have the same value. They have no value at all in the reaching of the Final Goal. And with that system you cannot reach the Final Goal. So the ordinary person cannot do but the system deeds, the relative good and bad deeds. When we think so, then there is no sin as human being think about it. It doesn’t mean a thing to say that a certain human being is good because he does good deeds and he goes to heaven. Or that a certain human being is a bad person, because he does had deeds and sins.
A story from the real life: A young Finnish priest said awhile ago, that he thinks, that everybody goes to heaven. I think the ordinary person doesn’t mind that. The saying of the priest brought a big fuss. Can you imagine, what group caused it? Of course it was the believers. They think that they have done a lot of good deeds and they deserve to go to heaven. They were very, very angry, because now their sacrifices were done useless. You can imagine my view in that subject. I Perceive, that to Heaven goes in ones life only those, who Know Absolutely Themselves. And you can Perceive, that the Heaven is not because of that very crowded.
41. An Heavenly Dream or was it at all a dream
I sow or better still to me was shown two dreams. The feeling was Heavenly. I didn’t want to wake up from the those dreams. I think the feeling was same kind, than in near death situations, when a person is in the roof and sees at the same time, that he is sleeping in his bed.
The first dream was sometimes after the 1985 and the 1986 works. I was then asking a question over and over again: ”Why I’m doing this kind of work - it isn’t nice. I don’t enjoy this work. Is somebody making me to do this work (jokingly still then).”
The first dream had two parts. In the first part they told me, how I was right in my works about Knowing Myself and Total Creativity. The other part consisted of the new material. They showed, how my material and the words of Jesus went together and were one. I had never thought that way. I was a civilized pagan. The bible had nothing to do with me. I was only interested in the insufficiency of myself.
I was really surprised and it lead to the next job. I started to read the Bible.
I started the reading by making some hypothesis. First - I read only the words of Jesus. If our religion would be an Universal one, then the words that tell that a person has to do to reach the Final Goal, must be there. And to be an Universal Religion, there has to be clearly a saying, that you have to Know Absolutely Yourself. I had my doubts about it. I had never heard that kind of talk among the believers.
I don’t tell all the findings and explanations I got from the New Testament, if you want to see them you should learn Finnish or wait, the translation. Visit my home pages.
42. What was the ’job’ of Jesus and how it was done
Before I explain my findings, I tell you how I experienced the Words of Jesus. The study of the New Testament is many times centered to the writers. Were they living during the time Jesus lived? Were they the disciples of Jesus? I don’t understand, what it has to do with the Words. If they come from the God, there is no matter, who was writing them and when it was done. The God can speak through a human being. And that human being cannot put there his own interpretations
When I was reading the New Testament, I had a Heavenly Good feeling with Matthew, Mark and Luke. The feeling was very different during the Books of John and Paul. They had no Heavenly feeling with them.
Why Jesus came to earth? To whom he did his Deeds and whom he taught? We think, that Jesus came because of us. It is true in a way. We wouldn’t have got the message, if … So we are only the secondary targets. The main targets were the people who were living at that time. Do you think, that Jesus taught and showed all the miracles to the masses?
Read your Bible again, if you think so, because you couldn't be more wrong! In all the Books (3 first ones - I am only speaking about them in later parts) is the same story. Jesus asks the disciples the same kind of question: ”What do you say to people, when they ask, who I am.”
Let’s think that you would be one of the disciples. Your are normal human being like the disciples were. You are unsure about yourself. You think, that ”you are already good, but you want to be better”. You want as the disciples put yourself into better situation by saying, that you are following a Great Person. Then also you will be something special. So the disciples said of course, that we have been telling the people, that you are the Only Son of the God and the Christ. The disciples said so even though they themselves didn’t believe it. If you read your Bible correctly, you find out, that they believed, that Jesus was the Son of the God, not until after his death, when he game to them. Not until then they Enjoyed.
So long they were afraid, they didn’t Perceive, that Jesus was the Son of the God. You can read the Bible and see how they were always afraid of. Let’s say, that you was there and you only said, that you believed, that Jesus is the Son of the God. How your behavior would expose your belief false? Jesus makes miracles, he walks on water, he stops the storm, he wakes up dead people, he give food from one basket to thousands of people, he take you with Him and you hear the God talk from a bush. What are your feelings? I bet, that you would be afraid of all the deeds of Jesus. So behaved also the disciples. Jesus tells you that he will die, but don’t be afraid. He tells you, that he will win the death and rise from the grave after three days. If you would believe him and that He is the Son of the God, you would say: ”OK, if you have to do that, do it, I am waiting here!” So in the Bible there is a very detailed story about the disbelief of the disciples. And finally, when Jesus showed himself to the disciples, they believed him and Enjoyed themselves?
Why I am telling this long section to you? Well it is the most important thing in the life of Jesus. He had to lead the disciples in a situation, when they Absolutely Believed that Jesus was the Son of the God. Before that nothing mattered. His teachings were useless. But when they finally Believed, then they also Perceived the teachings. And also that was for us, because only then we got the right teachings from the disciples.
So Jesus told them very severely, NOT TO TELL THE PEOPLE, WHO HE WAS! What that means? It means to me that Jesus didn’t come because of the folks. He come because of the disciples. He had to convince them first that he was really the Son of the God.
One of the main things in the teachings of Jesus was, how to Believe. If I ask you, do you believe something. You can answer, that of course you believe. Is that that? How can I know, that you really Believe? The only way to be sure, is to show your belief in your deeds. Only they show the true situations. So one of the main part of the Bible is to demonstrate, what is the Real Belief. One after an other he demonstrates the Deeds, that were needed.
What they showed to me? They showed me, that the persons who Really Believed were kind of ’crazy’. Their Beliefs were like the Belief of a Child. It was a Childlike Belief. If you don’t believe me, you can try yourself or go back to Bible and read again those parts. Imagine that someone close to you has died and you go to a person and ask him to cure the dead one. Those Believers believed, that Jesus was the Son of the God. Even that belief is kind of a crazy. You can try the thought. You are walking on a street and meat a man. He says to you that he is Jesus and he really is. How hard it is to believe?
The main message of Jesus was very simple indeed: It is not enough to follow the law, the ten commands, you have to love. And not love in some way, but to Love Absolutely as the Commands of the Love tell you.
The findings I made in the Commands of Love were the my main discoveries as I have told you. In there I found the Universal Basic of our religion:
”Know Absolutely Yourself, so you automatically Love Absolutely Yourself and automatically Love Absolutely Thy neighbor and at the same time automatically Love Absolutely the God!”
There was also some stories about the person, who is in the Final Goal. In short he is an adult, who is a Childlike person. Only that person Really Believes and Loves Absolutely. If you want to see more clearly, what kind of a personality the Childlike person has, go and see the Gospel of Thomas!
Jesus told also, that the Heaven is not after the death, but it is inside every person. In the Gospel of Thomas it was said to be both inside and outside. So a person reaches the Final Goal while living.
One of the most interesting story is the story about a rich man. A person game and asked, how he can reach the Final Goal. And Jesus said, that he has to abandon all the properties and all the money he had. I would have told it in an other way. It is easy to understand, that you have to give the money away. It is the usual way to understand the story. You know by now, that the human thoughts are not a very good measure of the Truth.
Normal person, who believes in development and becoming a better person make easily money his god. You can make also make the knowledge to your god. To make something a god to himself means, that you believe it and build you life on it.
How you sell and give away your knowledge. It is impossible. So there is another way to abandon something. You can abandon it mentally. Your knowledge stops being your god. You don’t build your world or your existence on the mater. So you don’t need the actual selling and giving away.
A simple example may make it clearer. You have a beautiful car. It make your me better by owning and by using the car. Then you Know Absolutely Yourself. You drive the same car, but it doesn’t influence anymore to your being, to your me.
I have always felt myself uncomfortable when I think about the masses. To me the Teachings of Jesus means, that you reach the Final Goal by yourself, alone. You don’t cross the Border hand in hand with other people. You do it alone.
43. The Key to everything there is in the Perception of the Final Goal!
It is not enough, that you except some thoughts!
It is not enough, that you understand the things!
It is not enough, that you think the same kind of thoughts!
It is not enough, that you do individual deeds!
ENOUGH is when you live it, when your thoughts become your ’flesh’!
44. What kind of a person is the Childlike human being?
I have been telling stories about a Childlike person in many parts of the book. You must know by now, that I think, the only way to Perceive if you are in the Final Goal is, that you behave like a Childlike person. Even then you cannot be quite sure, because you cannot get rid of your thinking process.
What kind of a person is a Childlike person? From the Bible you find out only hints about, what he is or how he behaves.
According to the Gospel of Thomas the Childlike person is like an old man, who is so stupid, that he goes to a child, who is only seven days old and asks the child the Key question of the human beings, ”What is the Meaning of Life?” Or the Childlike person is a person who doesn’t feel shame, when he takes his clothes of and dances on them.
When you think these actions you think, that they are crazy. It may be misleading to use that word in here. A more suitable word could be, that the person is none sense or nonsense. So the Childlike person is a non sense person or a nonsense person to the people, who are thinking.
The operation system of thoughts cannot understand, what a Childlike person is. The same kind of words are Eternity, Timelessness, Soul, Absolute, Absolute Truth, Beautiful, Love, and so on. Even the God is nonsense to the thoughts. So I think they belong into the same Absolute System.
Thomas: 22 Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the kingdom."
They said to him, "Then shall we enter the kingdom as babies?"
Thomas: 3 Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and it is outside you.
When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty."
Thomas: 4 Jesus said, "The person old in days won't hesitate to ask a little child seven days old about the place of life, and that person will live.
Thomas: 37 His disciples said, "When will you appear to us, and when will we see you?"
Jesus said, "When you strip without being ashamed, and you take your clothes and put them under your feet like little children and trample then, then [you] will see the son of the living one and you will not be afraid."
In short: He or she has reached the Final Goal. He or she has found the Meaning of Life in life. The term Childlike defines the Real Creativity. The Childlike person is an adult person. He live the life of a Childlike person.
45. Not until Thomas explained the Light correctly
The whole text is in this address: http://www.misericordia.edu/users/davies/thomas/Trans.htm
Or it the address doesn’t work, go here: http://home.epix.net/~miser17/Thomas.html
As I told you, I thought, that I understood the light and basket story. But the Light with the capital letter is a little bit different story.
The Light means, that you have reached the Final Goal and you have got the Light to show. According Thomas, when a person is in the Final Goal, he has the Light. I think it is burning automatically. See this sections!.
Thomas: 50 Jesus said, "If they say to you, 'Where have you come from?' say to them, 'We have come from the light, from the place where the light came into being by itself, established [itself], and appeared in their image.'
If they say to you, 'Is it you?' say, 'We are its children, and we are the chosen of the living Father.'
Thomas: 61 Jesus said to her, "I am the one who comes from what is whole. I was granted from the things of my Father."
"For this reason I say, if one is whole, one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness."
Thomas: 77 Jesus said, "I am the light that is over all things. I am all: from me all came forth, and to me all attained.
Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there."
(If you have seen the film called Stigma, you know more.)
Thomas: 83 Jesus said, "Images are visible to people, but the light within them is hidden in the image of the Father's light. He will be disclosed, but his image is hidden by his light."
Thomas: 33 Jesus said, "What you will hear in your ear, in the other ear proclaim from your rooftops.
After all, no one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, nor does one put it in a hidden place. Rather, one puts it on a lamp stand so that all who come and go will see its light."
Thomas: 24 His disciples said, "Show us the place where you are, for we must seek it."
He said to them, "Anyone here with two ears had better listen! There is light within a person of light, and it shines on the whole world. If it does not shine, it is dark."
In a book a Chinese wise man says: ”If you know a lot, you have to serve the mankind!” To me it means, that if you are behind the Border and you have the Light lit you have a ’Knowledge’ and you are a none sense person, and you must use your Knowledge for the good of human race.
46. How does the Knowing Absolutely Oneself happens after the Awakening?
As I have said, there are many roads to the Doors of Perception or to the Awakening. The road get smaller and smaller until there is only one thing to do. You have to Jump. Herman Hesse said it beautifully in his book ’Klein and Wagner’: ”A human being is only afraid of one thing: the falling, the stepping to uncertainty, of one small step over all certainties and guaranties. Let yourself fall! Don’t fight back! Die willingly! Live willingly!
When that happens, you start your trip towards the Knowing Absolutely Yourself. In an other book, ’Siddhartha’ (the name of Buddha, before he became Buddha) Hesse is saying: ”The searching is the reaching to the goal, but the finding is freedom - being open toward things - there is no goal for the person who has found it.” The sentence is the same that I heard from the radio: ’The happiness is not when you are on your way, but when you arrive the station’.
So when you have done the most difficult thing in your life, you have Jumped with the help of Absolute God, what happens then? I have some times used a story of ’a House of Wonders’ to tell what is behind the Border in the Absolute System. The people want to know it, want to be sure before they do anything. They want the guaranties.
There is no way to tell them. Or you can tell, but they don’t Perceive, because there is no words to describe it. You cannot take a person by the hand and lead him to the Other Side. Everybody have to Jump alone.
The method of Krishnamurti was not to tell about the Things over the Border. I thought once, that he was wrong, but now I Perceive, that he was right. What I have been telling you is not from the area behind the Border. Most of it is about the area of the operation system of the thoughts. It tells you, how I see the behavior of the ordinary person.
Where is the Door to other Side, to the Absolute System? You don’t have to look the Door far. It is in Now, Now, Now… when the thinking is silent.
On way to tell what something is, is to tell what it isn’t. I used once a metaphor of a box. I filled it with the material that I was searching. And then I started to take away one by one things, that certainly didn’t belong to the box. The result was, that at the end, there was some material left. I thought, that there was still something, that didn’t belong to the box, but most of the material belonged there. I used the box mainly in two questions:
• To answer to the question, what the Love is, by asking, what it isn’t.
• To answer to the question, what the Religion is, by asking, what it isn’t.
After the Awakening in the Final Part of his trip the person start to Know Himself. The real meaning of things start to clear by Perceiving them slowly one after another. The process picks up the speed. And in the final moments the person feels, that the world ended many times during one day.
You may feel during the process the same feelings, that I felt. I thought, that I was the only seeing person within the blind ones. It was not a pleasant feeling.
When you start Knowing Thyself, there is a feeling of Acceptance. You stat to accept yourself. You are what you are. And you cannot be anything else than what you are. At the same time you start to See things as they are and most important of all, as they also should be, when the system of thoughts is leading the way. The seeing is the same as accepting without giving the objects labels - good, bad.
The Knowing Absolutely Thyself happens by Seeing without thoughts. And eventually you Perceive, that you ’know’ your own behavior and that it is the same with other people. Then you feel, that you ’know’ IT ALL and it happens IN A FLASH.
Perhaps I have told you already, that I heard sometimes in the year 1986 or 1987 a voice, when I was just falling into sleep. The voice said: ”To you everything have been told in November!”
At that time I was not very happy about what I was doing. In my mind I was complaining. I thought, that the message was in a way two sided. In one part he was telling me, that I have no need to think, why I was doing that kind of things. The deeper meaning as I interpreted the message was, that I was given a Job to do. In that way, the message was, do you job and don’t worry or complain so much!
Then there was the real message - ”everything have been told to you”. How the hell can it be true, when I don’t feel like ’knowing’ it All. How can I know it All, when I don’t feel like it? Was it done at a flash? How it is possible?
Did I really heard a Voice or was it my imagination? I stated to take the sentence into parts. The voice was speaking about November. I had no recollections, that in November would have happened something extra ordinary. Now it was December. How on earth could I imagine, that in November happened a thing, when I had now recollections about it.
Secondly, how could I have said to myself, that you ’know’ it All, when I didn’t seem to do that and I didn’t even know, what the All meant?
After many years I Perceived how the Knowing Absolutely Yourself happens in a flash and how in a very short time you can get All the information and Know Absolutely it All. Let’s see for awhile some basics.
There is a world wide known encouragement, said by Socrates or is it also written in one of the Greek temples. ”Know Thyself!” Let’s look the words in the sentence! The verb is imperative. Do it just now! So it is not definitely in the form, that would support the thinking, that there is a question of the development, of a timely progress: ”Know yourself a bit by bit during a period of time!” Do it Now, Now, Now… or never! The form also leads me to think, that the system includes it ALL, Thyself. Is is not saying: Know a part of yourself!
So how the hell can it happen at once and include Absolutely All? A long time I thought, that it is right to think, that it happens in a flash and it includes it All, even if I didn’t understand how it was possible.
At once I Perceived it! The explanation was this: I know one person. Myself. And all the people are the same. Then I know all the people. The key is to know the behavior If in all the human behavior, there is one thing common, and that colors all the different kind of behavior Then by knowing or Perceiving this one thing, you know it All, because it explains All the human behavior As you see, there has to made one more assumption. We have to assume, that in every single thing, there is in the surrounding of the human beings, the key is behavior So everything we does is behavior
More simply, the factory were the products are made, prints it’s own style to all the products. By seeing the label, you know were it is produced and you know the products inside out.
The same is with the human behavior When you know or Perceive the smallest nominator in the behavior, you know All the behavior You see now, that the ’knowing’ it All can in theory happen in a flash and include really Absolutely Everything.
What is the smallest nominator in the behavior? It is the me-feeling of a person. And the me-feeling is insufficiency.
So by Knowing the main thing in life you know it All. And the main thing in life is the behavior It is reflected in all the other things. You can know at first only one person yourself. So when you know your behavior, you start to see that all the people are the same, then you know all the human behavior And you know IT ALL!
”Know Thyself!” can happen in a flash and it can include IT ALL and you Know Absolutely All.
The question, that I cannot tell you, is, how it happens. It is not my business to know that. But I can tell you, that you have to be Attentive, Attentive, Attentive… And you have to be a Childlike person. How else you could imagine, that there exists that kind of thought than Knowing Absolutely Yourself.
In short: It comes automatically after the Awakening, if you go farther on your road.
47. The Knowing Absolutely Thyself is the way to the Enlightenment
The three words Awakening, to Know Absolutely Thyself, the Enlightenment came together, when I had read the book of Anthony de Mello. I can recommend it to you. It is a good test: ”Are you There?”
At first, long time ago I thought, that the Awakening something bigger than what it really seems to be. It can even happen by accident. But never the less it is a great and necessary step toward the Knowing Thyself. Then I Perceived, that even the Knowing Thyself is not the end of it all.
As you remember, I told the story about my fiend, who is Awakened, and used the Power to harm a man and how I thought, that it has to be the same as the Holy Ghost. I named it at that point for Power or for Light. When you get automatically the Power or the Light, the main question will be, do you have enough energy. I haven’t the energy and so I call myself the second grade guru.
As there is no better word, the Final Point could be the Enlightenment. In some way I keep on thinking, that the Final Goal of the Life is to Know Absolutely Thyself and the Enlightenment is EXTRA.
In short: This begin to be on my limit. I Perceive, that the road doesn’t stop into the Knowing Absolutely Thyself. There comes the Power or Light Story. My thought, me being a second grade guru, came from the thoughts about the Holy Men. I have never considered myself as a holy man. Something like that, not enough. There is something missing. Then I started to think about the Real Thing - the Real Holy Man. Somehow the ordinary people seem to Perceive, that a certain man is something special. How they do that? How they can Perceive it? The only way to explain it is trough the Power. They feel the Power.
48. An animal called a human being
A human being is an animal. Usually we think, that we are more intelligent, that the other animals and that way we are also better. The God gave us the other animals and the nature to take care and to use. It is the same, if you believe in the Bible or don’t, you believe, that you are better than the apes and the worm.
These Perception came into my mind in sauna 01052002. Naturally I have been thinking this kind of thoughts also earlier, but the whole thing came clear that day.
Let’s begin the trip from the only material there is, from the Genesis. The man was like other animals in Eden. He lived in the place Now, Now, Now… He had no knowledge of the good and evil. He had the feeling of me, but only in the place Now. He had thoughts, but only in the place Now. The only thing that was done to him was to lure him to take the fruit from the three of knowledge of good and evil. And he started to think relatively. He started to measure and to compare. Something was better or worse than the other.
Let’s try some thoughts. We, the humans and the animals are living on earth at present age! (When I use the word animals, I am not speaking with the human beings.)
a. Let’s assume, that the animals have me or self. They want food and they want to multiply. They want to survive. And they want that for themselves. They don’t make it a performance. They do it Now. Their me is not measured and compared. They are what they are.
b. The animals are living in the place Now.
c. The animals are thinking. They are using their brains. For a human being it is very difficult to understand the kind of thinking, where there is nothing to compare with, no relativity.
We take the human being into the picture. If it is real, what I told about the animals, what is the only thing, that makes us, the human beings different? What is the only thing, that is enough to make us different?
We can say, that only we have the ’knowledge’ about the God. But Genesis tell us, that only the human being was send away from the Eden and so from the nearness of the God. If you take the small child, who has not jet the me, he is together with the Wholeness like the animals. When he has the me or the self, he is separated from the Wholeness. So to me the animals are living in the hands of the God. Only we, the adult human beings are looking the way back to ’Eden’. And only we are playing the Game of Life and making new players so the Game could go on. It is a clever move from the makers of the Game.
To my mind came a thought about the multiplying. Why we have to multiply? All the animals do that. If I believe to the theory of evolution, then I should think, that the multiplying come to existence by accident. First it was not and then it was. And all the animals started to multiply the same way. You need a female and a man. Only then you can make a descendant. What a waist!
So according the theory of evolution there should have happened many accident one after another. One animal differentiated into a female by accident. The other one differentiated to a man. By accident they got the genital organs. By accident they suited to each other. By accident the female and the man met. And so on. To me the multiplying is a great mystery, if I watch it through the theory of evolution.
Let’s go back to the animals. The only difference I can imagine with the human beings and the other animals is the relativity of the thoughts. And that makes us fill the place Now with the thoughts and it hides from us the Absolute.
49. A story about the meeting of our forefather and the Neanderthal people - who used the necklace?
Awhile ago there was a TV program made by BBC. The subject was our forefathers, the first human beings, who game from Africa and how they met the Neanderthal people in Europe.
First there was a talk about the subject I hate, the evolution. For me the evolution is to near the common thinking of a human being. Everything is developing to him. He is insufficient to himself.
The one thing I cannot understand is, how from the other animals developed the human being. Or more simply how the animal stated to think relatively and become a human being by accident? I cannot give you the answers, but let’s see, what we get.
Back to the necklace!
Think about it: A fossil is found. An animal has died and it has become a fossil. Do you find any ornaments near the fossil? Of course not! The animals don’t wear the ornaments or the necklaces!
The fact has been, that when they found the fossils of the Neanderthal people, there was no ornaments. Then they found one bone fossil and near it there was a necklace. It was said, that the fossil was from the human being, because of the necklace.
Later the opinion was changed. They said, that the bone was from the Neanderthal people. The scientists said, that the Neanderthal people had met the first human beings. and the Neanderthal people had seen the human beings wear the necklace. They started to imitate the human beings.
The human beings are using the ornaments because of themselves. The same is with the perfume. They both make a human being better. So the main reason to wear them is for the person himself or herself. With the ornament a person show his value. More so in the past. The question is from the me-deed.
My conclusion was that the Neanderthal people were the real animals.
In the BBC program was a small thing, that nearly went by my eyes and my ears without me seeing or hearing it. They talked about the evolution of the use of ornaments. I except the thought, that among the human beings the use of ornaments developed, but…
But were they saying, that the evolution go even farther into the past. Do we have to take into account the animals went through a evolution and started to use ornaments. I would be a major step and a major accident. I simply don’t believe it!
Please, explain to me, how the animals started to use ornaments and how they got the me, that had to be bettered, the relative thinking.
In short: The Neanderthal people was not using the necklace or other ornaments. Also the other animals don’t use ornaments. So the Neanderthal people were the animals. The human being have the relative me, who thinks that ”he is already good, but he wants to be better”. He wears the ornaments because he want to be better.
50. Truth that I already lost, but now it is ’flesh’ again!
”Be careful what you think about yourself, it usually comes true.”
If you don’t believe me, believe Buddha! He has said: ”Tomorrow you are what you thought today!”
