To do mistakes is to be human, and to be human is to do mistakes.

Bach couldn’t have possibly composed his music, no human can, and specifically not Bach’s music. A very high influence must have done it, through him.

Why is it easier to give an unrequested advice instead of much needed support?

Study of any philosophical text is difficult. Not because of the content, (it remains obscure), but because of the wordings, it is written in such a way that all is in an entanglement, instead of words being a rope to bring us up straight to where writer wants us to get to, we get mixed up with the rope, eventually, it takes us nowhere, accept, to become more entangled with it.
The rope, instead of being the means that we through away once we reach the top (the truth, the message, the meaning) – it becomes an end unto itself. Or a thick forest in which we get lost, unable to get out and reach home (again: truth, the message, the meaning).
Writing the most deep and high message with as less words as we can – is the art of essence writing.

He is like a poor, poorly dressed, hungry, homeless – child, looking in through the window of a rich house, in which lives a comfortable happy, united family, sitting together to a tempting dinner – only for him to go back, hungry, lonely and cold, to lay down on the straw in the stable, when only the angels are keeping him company.

Turning spiritual life into flat, static non rising -life, lacking the presence of the holy ghost – is living bourgeois life: small and compromising. Anti-spiritual at heart.
Living in spiritual house, in a spiritual place, having spiritual friends, reading spiritual books, but inside there is no holiness only inner secular life.

The only way not to let your thinking mechanism become rusty – is to lubricate it with consciousness.

Physics was challenged by quantum physics, Psychiatry was challenged by anti-psychiatry. Psychedelia is challenging the existing consciousness. In philosophy the deconstruction & pot-modernism are challenging conventional philosophy.

Eulogy
Deterioration happens in the dark, slowly it gathers momentum, until it crumbles from within.
From the outside all looked the same; the couple’s life, the union, the bond, the cooperation.
And then, one day, all of a sudden (yes, usually it happens this way) – it falls apart, nothing holds it together anymore. Each particle is going its own separate way, no longer together, an abys is opened up, to the great surprise of all who were involved. A moment before everyone believed powerfully in the religion of togetherness, with all of their hearts, and it is all over now, like never has been. The dreams, hops and ideologies are gone, like never has been.

It is not common to talk about the experience of being a child as being confused and lost, at base.
For some reason for some reason, it is not being emphasized that they must be confused and lost, in front of the enormity, complexity and dominance, which is threatening them to conform or else…
Lost and confused they look up to this social giant, trembling with fear, and mostly, they conform.

Never deal in ultimatums only in open dialogues.

Human being are incomplete beings, animals are complete.
As incomplete, they could be divided into two camps, one is treating it never the less as completeness (the majority), the other camp is accepting the incompleteness, in placing oneself on a path of improvement, ( psychotherapy, vegan, religion, spirituality art, success, drugs etc.).
It is a restless path, with mush frustration and being lost, but it is better than the self-delusion about being complete already.

“I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.”
― Jack London
