9. Conception Open the gate to “Anything is possible”?
ОглавлениеThe subjunctive - the enemy of humanity, a good friend of the ego?
“Everything is possible!” The first reaction, that is thrown into the discussion as an argument to this thesis, this conclusion, this truth, is a big IF. I would, if not ... One of the greatest evils in the grammar of human languages is the subjunctive. Would, should, could, if. It reflects, one could almost go into raptures, the dualistic system of thought in brilliant perfection.
Do we set limits for ourselves?
This play with the subjunctive - unfortunately it is very serious - exposes the templates, that restrict our thinking, and thus ourselves, so make true love impossible. It states a clear boundary between things, that one would like to have, that one would love to do, and what is all too obviously possible or not possible. We say: Life, or the current situation - whatever - sets us limits, creates certain wishes and dreams - sometimes even basic needs – as impossible.
Fences, that cannot be discussed away?
“Yes”. One would now like to admit with resignation. This hurdle, these limits are there. They are practically indispensable. They are many, these shackles. As a rule, however, in this society and its thinking, it is actually possible to reduce a whole lot of the problem to one word; MONEY. Almost all of the difficulty can be manipulated through this instrument - a great ego weapon, by the way.
Is money the basis of the social structure?
The possibility - almost any problem would be solved - seems tempting. So it seems to be a perfectly practicable solution to buy the obstacles away, with money. Do we have to emphasize again and prove it, explain, that material possessions do not lead to the goal of the path but away from it? That buying and selling, good and bad, having and not having, are deeply dualistic structures, that are installing the rags of incomprehension ever more densely before your eyes?
Have and not have?
Well, you will counter - we damn well live in a world of "have and not have". Well - what else should the answer be than a nod of agreement? Because this is exactly the point: it is a world of self-imposed obstacles in every way. The restrictions, templates, that we impose on ourselves - we have learned them from the mother's breast - make it impossible for us to do, what we would love to do. In our actions, we only find the superficial love, postulated by society, we do not come any closer to the truth.
So become a freaky dropout?
So what to do ? Get out? Yes! And yes again. And, that does not mean - although, that is definitely possible - to strap on your backpack and get to know the world. There is no need to apply this stereotype to the situation. Getting out is completely different. Actually, it is not getting out - on the contrary - rather a stepping into joy.
Invest in the awesomeness?
So getting out means moving away from the stereotyped thinking, that imposes limits on us, to let the small things be - to invest heart and soul in the greatness. Doing big things - if you get angry about small things, you are small yourself. Love in words, deeds and works. Love is never small. It multiplies, expands. That is its excellent quality. And each of us has this little light, everyone knows the little flame. Now make it the light of your life!
Lack of trust?
What we all fundamentally lack, is trust. No wonder - in this world of give and take, there can be no primary reason. And everything, that is defined as origin, turns out to be subjunctive. Are you slowly beginning to understand, in which vortex, in which eddy, in which vicious circle you are? You have no trust, that's why you doubt, the doubt, the uncertainty in turn, frightens you. Fear, that accompanies you, through all situations in your life.
Trench warfare of the fear of life?
Existence seems to be a struggle against imbalances, misjudgments, social judgments, and self-doubt. And the more you win in this constant attack, this trench war - at whatever - it increases your fear. Because one thing is already clear: You will lose all of this again. And incredibly quickly. What adds to the tension is, that life hangs by a thread, that the “Dear God” holds in his hand “up there”. And as we all know, sometimes - you don't know when - like to let the same tear.
Do you do things, that you don't like?
Let's be honest: The whole situation arose, because you were doing things, that you didn't want to do. You're not doing the things, that you would like to do, that you love to do. So you lack love in the things you do. How could one also invest love, for example in a job, that is only good for survival (money!)? And further: in order to love, it is necessary to love yourself. Here to love, also means to accept.
Trust in the nature of love?
The acceptance of being -, that is the trust in love. Things are the way they are. If something is done with love, from the heart, then we can be sure, that everything, that happens with it, has to do with the realization of true love. And even with the most terrible things, that life - the ego - tries to fool us, we find in this trust in absolute love, the support and serenity, that someone, who lives forever, deserves.
Do the things you love?
That is, the way to really be able to do anything, to open the door to "anything is possible", is to do things, that you love - to do things with love. And you can really do anything in your life - if you do it with true love, out of the loving spirit. Trusting in eternal love. Because it has all the possibilities you can imagine - and infinitely more. The miracles are hidden here - in love.
Summary
You will succeed in everything you do with true love. Even if the result, that you can see, may seem completely different. It is exactly the way and the right thing to ultimately shape things to perfection. Accept, it means for you personally, that when you have put all of true love and knowledge and effort you could, into a matter of love, everything you were able to do - you should forget it. The reason for this matter - love - will accomplish you, as great as you never could.
