Not to be narrowed down?

"Have" - a complex letter structure. On the one hand it indicates the possession of a thing, on the other hand it can also mean a very vague, indeterminate mental, spiritual life circumstance. (I'm lucky, have concerns). If you take a closer look at the word creation, it turns out to be a “black hole”. This term is fleeting with the same intensity.

It's not about rich and poor?

Do not be afraid of being drawn into a dispute about the meaning of possession, of material "having". You should be, at least sufficiently, aware of the fact, that property ends in death. So, from a spiritual point of view, we can fundamentally postulate, that material possessions have no greater significance. But what about "having" in a non-material sense, in the human spirit?

Intellectual having?

We have a lot there. (Smile) But this "having" is nowhere near as static as it is material having. It can be a fleeting thought, it can be something indefinable like “hope” or “luck”, or a more permanent matter, like general knowledge, the “treasure trove of knowledge”. What is quite obvious here is, that this “spiritual” having is closely linked to the material having - also both end in death?

Are we having “That”?

In order to get to the bottom of the matter, we try to clarify where this “having” in the spiritual, non-manifest sense comes from. If we have something, there must have been a state beforehand in which we did not have it. Or, that certain having is an inseparable part of us. The line between having and being becomes blurred, also in a material sense. But “having” always needs a basis, it has to exist for something.

Guilty?

How is this basis? What is it? Are there different substrates for different types of “have”? If so, where is the root cause? A completely inexperienced “something”, only tainted with instincts? It gets thrown into this existence to have . But who decides on this having, which is preserved, who sorts and evaluates? The philosophy of the world society. Which arose from judgment, the first thought of which was guilt.

Born into guilt?

Viewed in this light, “having” does not seem to be necessarily preferable to simple, inexperienced “being” without any “having” at all. Yet, as it stands, we seem to be born into guilt, to grow into it. We are drawn into “having”, the guilty definition of world society for this concept, with all the power of the duality idea.

Hardship, hardship and agony?

So we stand in front of a pile of broken glass. All the “having”, that we have acquired through the attributes of social thinking turns out to be inextricable, uncontrollable chaos - materially as well as in terms of our experience, our knowledge, our judgment, our spiritual circumstances. Apart from, that, both sentenced to death anyway. Unfortunate. Nothing but hardship, hardship and torment.

Eternal glow?

However, there is a “have”, that is not a “have”. A possession, that dissolves everything else, tainted with negative terms, by itself. This “possession” is the “having” alongside, above, through, inside and outside of the worldly “having” - the judgment, the condemnation, the guilt, the sin, the death, the implied end. It is the spark of true love within us. That nobody or something can never suffocate.

Pressed into shape?

And this makes it clear, that we can see two possibilities in our life. First of all we have to leave, what we have called an inexperienced, neutral something, which is pressed into shape, according to the tortures of the social system, the inexperienced something – we have to leave this judgmental thinking. Or, secondly, - how nicely this formulation fits here - to discover our inner child, to embrace it. To recognize the inner child, which is the spark of love, that has always been in us as the essence of creation and our being. In fact, it is untouched by the blame and dogmas of the world and can therefore bring us peace.

The inner child?

This reveals what it is, this inner child, from whom we have already heard so much. It's love It doesn't need any attributes, it doesn't know any differences. Where it is truly and pervasively recognized, apart from the meaning of the term in our cloaked world, it expands. Becomes clear as reality. The fog of arrested thinking dissolves into nothing - children in power.

Truth in creation?

The truth we are looking for, lies in the flower, the blossom, swaying gently in the wind. In awe of astonishment, viewed with tender affection by an inexperienced little creature. We have lost the ability to see this flower, to feel the soft cotton wind, to be embraced by creation without fear. Too much fear of what would tear down our walls of judgments, would dissolve our prejudices, recognized as void.

Summary

It is the fear of ignorance, as we like to ascribe it to small children, our “treasure” of experiences, which separates us from love, the inner child, the eternally shining, warm light within us. We think we know too much. Our logic, in this naive belief we spend our lives, is invincible. How arrogant this view of things is, is proven to us again and again, but we do not give up looking for meaning in madness. Despair of life because we fail.
