The vessel

Walking is a way of listening, of being in a still awareness that recognises this spring that is inside us. Over the years i have silently called on it, and it have called on me.
There is no need of words.
This quietness is the great life-giving source in us all.
It is what mother nature carries for us, acting as its vessel as we spend our life dressed up as metaphysical beings.

About the concept of movement

We are the conceptualization of the ever-moving passage between two different levels of existance.
Our memories, visions, ideas and impressions are what is left behind in the objective world by the movement of our being.
And when we have left it there, we always return back to our original interior state from which all differentiation arises.

About the potential of being

There is an innate potential deposited in the earth and in all forms of nature.
Its vibration is a sort of specifying, a form of energy moving toward naming and objectification in the outside world.
It is in this connection we will find our way.

The intangible source

In its original sense, our being is something eternal, and we refer to it as past, present and future. It is the very explanation of the ongoing creation of all things. The unfolding which is always there. And the very reason for existance.
What we call identity is not something learned by reference. It is this relation.
And this is what truly governs our behaviour over time.

A reflexion about genders

By being observant of myself and people in my surroundings I do support the psychological view that a mans impulses is by nature guided by the influences of his personal feminine. And a womans impulses is guided by the impersonal and rational distinktions of her masculine assumptions.
By nature this impulsiveness shows itself to us as having the character traits of our contrasexual side. This is how it behaves to us. And it is also how it appaears to us in dreams.
This is also shown in studies of the extremes as pointed out by psychologist Jordan Peterson. There is of course little difference in people who in their personality shows almost no differentiability. Which seems to support the experince coming from personal developement. Were developent in this sense is absent, as with children, or undifferentiated adults that show almost no distinction between themselves and others. Here, the gender differences are small or overlapping and the differentiability is experienced and believed as being small. But in the extremes were the personal differentiation is well developed and specific personal psychological character traits are domainant, as have been shown in studies of aggression as referred to by Peterson, gender differences are very evident. And they are also experienced as dominant.
But the thing most obvious to me in all the discussions about gender, seems to be that the part are always taken as the hole by the ego in its relation to this subject.
As individuals and on our own, we do have to find our way in this, as in how to relate to them both, because they play such important part for us in the total reality of our being.

About opposites

People have an annoying tendency to confuse illness with suffering, where suffering is lifes opposite of delight, or happiness.
The opposite of happiness is not illness.
It is where our being interfere with how we relate to the content of what we think we are, and something about our being is not compatible with that content.
This is what i see when I look at the world and how we relate to it.

Encounters with giants

There are these giants, giants who feel nothing. Their thoughts move slowly, and they are irritable and reactive. We call them stallo. They are hypnotized by themselves. In relationships, our economies, our media, our political systems. They cannot be argued with.
They are uncontrollable, infectious creatures. And anyone who falls into a state of thick-headed affect becomes them automatically.
Our interactions with these giants in the psychical world depicts what happens when we are possessed by their instinct.
They will pick their teeth with our bones.

About the associations of being

If i backtrack the associations holding my origins, back to my eternal collection of vibrant intangible ancestors, my being becomes this re-generated essence created by the influences of our relationship.

About what is missing

Its like having a piece of you chipped off. It makes something about you always missing. You are not whole. Not ready. Never. What is left behind in the opening is your impulsive part. That which makes you completely uncivilized and the part of you, you can never control but always looking for. It makes you no different from anyone else. And it makes you ashamed of yourself and it humiliates you. It will really, really question you about your moral standards and your moral conditioning. And at the same time, it is what brings you out of yourself, into exaltation. It will take you out of the ordinary and out of time. You will feel elevated, creative and capable of doing anything you want. And you want to stay in wonderland, in that state of uninterrupted creativeness forever. But it will also make you touchy, defensive and flat out unpleasant.
You will not be you.
And when you come down, you come down hard.
But here on the ground, You will be looking around for that little place called being. Of quietness. Of peace, tranquillity and balance. Of humility.
Only here can we find what is far from it all but always right there.

Its like a principle of being

The creative principle of the spiritbeing, as consciousness, is also our eternal existence derived from the primeval world of the unconscious as a son principle, born of the feminine, and the great grand mother earth.
This is wonderfully depicted in sami by Raedien-attje as the source, and his wife Raedienahkka from which everything gets its shape. With her he has the son Raediengiedte. This son is also an attribute of Raedien-attje himself, in being the generative force who brings all the forms of life to mother earth, Maderakka. Maderakka then causes the form to grow a body of matter around it.
By her, we are then becoming a personification of this reoccuring constellation, like it is our principle of being.

The world tree is a pine

My body is this tree. A spring and a vessel. It is my being when it dwells in the wind as it seeds the earth beneath its sun, bathed in abundance of this endless regenerous body of life.
This tree is the origin tree. Made of maternal matter brought into early morning light.
It is the tree of creative movement, of night and day. Of conception.
It is the tree of trees.

about the correspondence of existance

There is this point of entry. It reveals itself in a mountain lake, in a landscape, a sunset. In long stretches of solitary hiking in the woods or in the mountains.
They are used as a vessel by my unconscious processes were I then gain access to the existential otherness of the world. It is were places of exchange between our inner world unknown occur, as it enters into our consciousness outside.
It is here I can preserve its living content and get access to its uninhibited correspondence with nature.

The potency of experience

The only experience that can give us an incorruptible value is being in the apparition of an archetypal form. That is, to be in the vast intangible vibrating energy of its numinous experience.
It is how we emerge out of nothingness. How we define ourselves.
It is also how our original ancestors appear to us.

The dark curses of the not-I

It’s like trying to live up to everything thrown at us. All of that which is not something that we can relate to as being true to our own personal characteristics. To be absorbed and replaced by a mindset keeping us constantly occupied with ideals and views disconnecting us from ourselves. A knowledge base not related to, or connected to our own specific version of being. We are trying to become this ideal sub personality. With its unachievable ideals by which we infect ourselves and others. This is why we are always trying to get others to confirm its reality to us as we become collective beings by identifying ourselves with it. We use knowledge as our pretend solution to inner reality and lost tradition. But knowledge cannot hold it for us because we are subordinate to it, and it requires a sacrifice. Which is our bloated hell of ideals and expectations in everything scattered around that we are trying our best to live up to, or force onto others in the hope to control it.
It is also what we have in common with all kinds of radicalism, fundamentalism or extremism. We experience it daily while it is trying to poison us by our media and in the infectious political agenda of ideological opposites. It is always present in the relations of our ordinary everyday life since it begins with our own being. It is what we are outside of our own borders. What we dont pay attention to, and what we are doing to others.
It is about knowing were I ends and others begin, and stop throwing dark curses around us unwittingly.
We really are the only true demons of this world.

The conditioned consciousness

If my mind is the relation that I claim to have to the contents of my being, then any relation that I may have to it, must be conditioned on what wells up from this being every day.
It is independent of me, and of any one of us. It is not something that we make up by our selves. We are a small part of this spontaneous content making itself known to us while it is becoming aware of itself.
What we loosly call consciousness, is only what we choose to relate to for some coherency to make us have a sense of individuality. We even tend to personalize the origin of its content, in spite of the fact that it emerges from the outside of our mind. So all of our widely separated personal claims of ideas are just going to make us feel disconnected from our selves because they will no longer have a relation to our being.

About successive existences

The unseen world is obviously populated with all sorts of powers that must be reckoned with, because they really are a phenomena with an inherent energy that goes beyond individual life, and something we utilize as our oracles.
Its about identification. Of what is manifest as actual.
It can be seen as a perspective of reincarnation when we try to maintain a conscious relation to this as we passes back and forth through its reality.
But it is not the distinct individual who is reborn.
It is a sense of being related to what produces our consciousness.
The experience we make of our relation to its content.

the mystery as cultural creation

It is a kind of wisdom, an act of something like a behavioural impulse. Experienced as our guardian ruler by psychological faith. Not by any commandments. It is our embodiment of honorable judgment. The spirit as a descendant tied to a line of forefathers. To the way they are in their voices of moral sensibility present in this life. And by the inner reflexions coming from the spirit of those who have gone before them.
When we sense a confusion coming out of a collectives fatherless life ”out there”, and we wonder why it could be so, the ancestor being has been evoked, because he is our deepest unconscious reflection, our cultural relational creator in its most distinctive internal and external sense. We are truly beings in the context of his space and time.
And we are wearing him as our mystery of cultural creation.

about behaviour

We are the daily expression of ancestral patterns that process the world in a collective ordening of our senses guided by the unfolding emergence of an explanation we will have to answer to from the realms beyond the unborn and the dead.

Dealings with origins

It is like our past ancestral experiences of inner life have left this original deposits of energy behind in us. And during the encounters we have had with that origin, the energy discharged have left a record inside a chain of reference for us to be used in the encounters followed by this first one, from which all the others also originates.
They re-create themselves in our being, and beyond. As images, energy tones, and in all the actions our own encounters with them will imprint on us.
They are always there.

The effects of life

Every one of us are both descendants to our ancestors as we are ancestors to our descendants. What we do here and now will have an affect on them both, because we are them. We embody them.
If we don’t take care of the effects our collective life has on them now, this is what it’s going to be.
It does not go anywhere.
It is us. Our life.

Memories and the mind

We can derive who we are from any combination of collective identity: sex, race, social class, vocation, nationality, or religion.
But what we are also derived from, is our ancestral memory. Of that which is encoded in the dna as the part of us just being humans.
We are also descendants to the reality behind the imaginations we have. Its not a physical thing. Its the memory we have of encoded identity.
And we are part of that mind too.

About gender

There is no doubt i am of an androgynous entity. This is regardless of any view i might have on actual gender, or on any conviction anyone may come up with to defend gender stereotypes. Physical appearance do not apply here. Speaking of myself, i took on the gender of my default orientation. And the influence coming from this choosing, was that my inner life was birthing a feminine, or opposite identity as compensation for doing this. My mother naturally became her first carrier. And her affection is what later gave me what i needed in life to be able to be open to my experiences on the nature of my being.
If we experience a conflict in here, it is inside of us. We are that conflict. And we are always running a risk to others to make the world our theatre of war.
It is what happens when we bring it outside.

The world we live in

We all have a unique and individual expression of our being embedded in our dna. And some part of it is also inherited from a cultural conditioning behaving as a connection to a cultural past. When it unfolds in our spontaneous expression of being it will have its own pre-established way of presenting itself as imagination.
Its in our blood. And it is really not in the physical world. The struggle we have with this are within ourselves.
It also constitutes an individual form of danger when we by a collective, by corporations or governments, without a connection to our being allow ourselves to live out all kinds of interior worlds of imaginative self interest onto other people. We will then become a danger both to people, and to the world.
What we are doing to each other then, to this otherness, is trying to mirror and replace the within in other people, with that of our own, and then try to morally justify our actions by the submission of other people. As if a loud voice or forcefulness was an argument in itself.
And if they do not agree to this. We bring our war to them.
This will now become our world.

About collective regression

When we were forced to believe in what was written down, and not in what we hear and we can see, we were also forced to separate our physical life from the experience of our transpersonal life. Our imagination were taken from us, and we got driven out of our selves and forced to replace it with someone else’s perception of being. It is still happening to us. We are still living with this collective threat on individuality everyday.
The doubt this creates is what separate us from our beingness, and that is what make people so confused.

The father of our civilised world

Imaginary speaking, I find myself living in a society which is compelled to act this figure in the cloud out with the ruling it has over everybody´s apprehension. They don´t seem to know it, but they are supporting him by continuing his old formal character, making his outworn presence felt in everyday life in terms of rules and regulations, in dogmas, and in a distant dead behaviour coming out of it. They are upholding a system of absence in their lives by trying to fill themselves up with a sense of responsibility and duty towards social and religious convention. Which they also force onto others. They believe in some principles of normality. Not in the experience of transpersonal reality. And nobody seem to be questioning this cloud figure rulings there. They just see themselves as a single part of his organisational maintenance.
It is almost incomprehensible what this is doing to them, and to our environment.
His tyrannical madness is what makes them all crazy.

The Great Mother

The male end of our inner balance is on the emphasis of the product by focused, self-disciplined energy to do, to shape, to specify, to name and define. The female end is on the process, and on the experience of being. Appearantly, the male end is also the current ideal to which a one-sided collectivity aspires.
Of everything associated with femininity, being is perhaps the most misunderstood since the relation to being is defined through developing a close relationship to nature, to other people, and to life. Its about our capacity to be receptive to our lives in an embodied way. Here we listen to our within, to another kind of creativity, and to our own inner sense of things. She is our crucible and our liberation from a world of sufferings. It is also by her we get our first lesson of life through our mother.
Our planet earth also carries all life in a similar way as a Great Grand Mother being to us. She is then that part of us that honors the nature of our inner life in relation to earth and our individual way of being, regardless of how different we might appear with our behaviour to the collective and its principles of normality.
This male and female balancing is a living reality right here and now, a presence were being is the neglected part of our conciousness, it is suppressed by the preferred static ideals so many of us seem to rely on. Together with a reluctancy to change.
So we just force ourselves to stay busy. Searching all over the place for this being, acting like we are completely out of our minds.

Mother nature

She is the growth and eternal renewal of all life. She carries and nurture the source and generative power of life. She embeds it and cares for its forms coming to life. It is the very spirit of life which is brought to her for her to carry. And she is what makes it all possible, because she brings whatever shape given to her, its physical body. When they are given to her she will nourish them. She will provide for them, and she will care for their wellbeing. Without her there would be nothing, our physical life will not exist at all. Life will no longer have its beingness. It will disappear from the source of individual life.
Life will be deprived of its purpose, it will have no meaning.

Citizens of being

Can we allow ourselves to live our life from the inside out, following the nomadic life of within and its impulses. Or do we choose to live our life from an imaginary outside mirror constantly judging us by some principle of normality that we are not?
This is the inside war of our individuality. Here is my battleground and my rage.
It is a terrible war of balance. A fight for my life.

Dad in the cloud

I can never get into the image of a dad in a cloud. I don´t have that in me. I can understand the need for it. Why some need that kind of authority. An existential dad acted out by someone else, or to clothe a form of abstraction of it with a human form. But for me that it is just a confusion. A displacement of myself. Of my in between non-placed source and me. I cannot agree to this kind of replacement. It would leave me defenceless to a world that has lost it.
I can only watch with horror how dad in the cloud deals with this world.

About our own being

The world we call reality is what we put into it from the experience of our being. It is the mirror world we walk in. And it is our relation to being that creates its intensity and value. The alternative is to succomb to some people wanting to drive us out of ourselves and replace us with themselves.
We can let others make us be to them, what they want to see about themselves in us, in their need to control others from being separate individuals of this being in themselves.
But it is our very own connection to being which is at stake here. And it is precisely this that makes a difference to the world.
If there is one thing we can change to make any change for the better, it is this. We can become a container for our own being.
But most people seem to have lost this connection, they don´t listen anymore, or they don´t have the courage to learn its language anew.
And this is what makes them all crazy.

About authority

We seem to have mixed up senses about what the meaning of power and the meaning of authority is. Power is the sun, the growth of nature. Authority is the interconnection of all life cycles beyond individual life. Authority is that existential knowledge which cannot be transferred from one person to another. That which has to be learned anew by each and everyone of us, by ourselves, alone.
Authority is respect for that which will help us on our way.

About collective awareness

When we identify with our collective awareness we also tend to make statistics of ourselves. We begin to adjust to, and live by a principle of normality, and everything not behaving according to this principle of statistics, must be abnormal. We dehumanise both ourselves and others from the spark of individuality. We become a threat to commonality and therefore this must be diagnosed and ”treated” with. We must make a statistical example of this aberrancy, of this threat from individuality to commonality.
Whatever this collective identification might be, or consist of, it is this face of awareness we use which make us generalise. We begin to see everything as something common and we depersonalise everyone and everything. We become pretentious pricks.
But its proper use should rather be to use this face of awareness to catch our sparks.
Because here, the strangest thing occur. It not only makes us feel unique, it also connects us to something that is common to us all. And this have nothing to do to a principle of normality.
It is just the living experience of what we are.

Life cycles and tradition

All life come in cycles. Most of what we call science includes a study of these cycles.
So what about the cycles of man?
We live in relatively short cycles. As a comparison, a pine tree may live up to 800 years.
For us to preserve something of our inner being beyond the time of individual cycles, we must have some sort of tradition. Early traditions enforced our individual sense of perception outside of time. They offered people a set of existential instructions from our ancestors, passed over to the descendants about the development of individuality and its extension above all cycles. Because if we ever was to loose these set of instructions, we would only know and live in this present one. And we would have no knowledge about anything beyond it. We will loose our connection to the cycles of life existing all around us. And we will be confused about our being here.
So, if we get lost in our own cycle, and in our relation to the cycles of life, we will not know how to receieve it’s teachings, how our own cycle gives us its instructions. We cannot hear the voice.
The connection will be lost.
And we will become repetitive in our way of life no matter the need for us to change.
We will become governed by the circles of commerce, with the latest products, trends, and with the repetition of our behaviour in the latest news that never change.

Who we are?

If we define our personality through our belonging to a collective or a group, or an organisation, or a country, and then only by what we do accept as that, we give in to a world were our sole reality becomes defined by what we are not.
We are going to be a people of constant personal neglection, and collective criticism.
And since we then have to redefine ourselves constantly to the ever changes of life, we tend to hold on to only a preferred and limited set of collective beliefs for a personality. This is how we want others to see us. But what we do not accept here, the restrictions we put on ourselves, will be what others must learn about us to be able to reach us. We do not allow it in any other way. This is what we are going to make other suffer with us. And since all we do from now on must be good, it will never occur to us, or even enter our mind, that we are the personal cause of any bad things that we inflict upon the world, both individually and as a collective. Because there can be no moral responsibility now, everything we do can only be of good.
There is no longer that being inside us as in human being. We have not come to that yet.
We have lost our morals.
Look around.

Globalisation

Globalisation is the word we use with corporations and banks to get to exploit every local resource available at no cost, to maximise the profit where it is not responsible to no one, anywhere.
It is the ultimate disconnection from earth.

About relationships

As humans we must never break the relationship to being. Being is always, it is our relationship to life. We are descendants of being and will become ancestors in layers of this relationship.
There is no blame or guilt in this, it is a kind of personal responsibility.
Breaking this connection is lack of moral itself. A breaking of our connection to place.
And to earth.

Whose reality?

Looking at this world, I also have to recognise i live i a world that is completely existential.
No words cant do it justice. And it doesn´t matter how much i try to document it, or try to reach it by my rationality. It is existential. It creates my sense of existence out of this non-rational experience. And as such it is also beyond me. But I am very much inside it. It is my living present. The right here and right now.
A container of what we make of our reality. All ideas we try to create out of it.
We even call it reality.

About politics

All politics are about moral conflicts. And there are no general answers effective in moral conflicts.
They are individually suffered and no preaching can touch it.
If there is one single thing that reflects our world back to us, making it an image of ourselves and blackening out the rest.
It is this.

Democracy and how to go about it.

Maybe it is our parliament, and our gouvernment itself who need some adjustment.
What we see right now is that one part is missing in that equation. When considering the present situation, it is obvious something in our gouverning is not there, the parliament do not really answer to no one. The people they are responsible for is not really there, so they don’t have any real counterpart.
Just think about that for a moment.
Because right now they just answer to themselves. And this is not good democracy.
Who is taking care of our wealth. Were is our leadership of wealth. Who is taking care of our water. Our nature. Who is looking after our common good. Obviously, wealth is very much dependent on how new money first should be spent into the economy. But there is no true counterpart in parliament for that.
Our leaders badly need this. They should have to answer before the leader of wealth to be able to make good decisions for the people.
Right now, our parliament here in Sweden, as in many other countries, are divided among themselves, and arguing full time about who should be its leader. How parliament should be led, and in what direction. And with our media fully occupied by reporting on this disagreement, good decisions going out the window.
And this is currently built into the system by the absence of a real working counterpart.
For that to change, we need them to answer to someone on the basis of a working democracy, and that should be accomplished through a leadership of wealth.
With such a counterpart, our parliament then have to change its priorities to be only of concern to the wealth and wellbeing of its people.
We should even consider having a pre election on candidates where only women can vote. And after that we can all vote on the outcome of their election.

Our ambassador on Island suffered heavy criticism for it, but he is not too far from the truth, intuitively thinking democracy is being ”dismantled” by its current constitution in Sweden.

By thinking about it anew, we may actually adjust our parliament closer to its original vision, and maybe, we can then make our parlament the true working heart of democracy we want it to be.

So now you know who you are?

There is this a kind of realm for itself. Not out there, nor in here, yet both. It is not really a reality of a concrete kind. It is something that is happening to us, making my experiences mine, and also a bridge and an entrance to a psychic reality common to us all were we meet.
Its obvious entrance is through nature. Without it we would not be here.

This is illustrated with warmth by Oren Lyons in his story on being high on learned knowledge and its distant rationality coming back home after graduation.

About indigenous people

There is one thing we can learn from our indigenous people.
It has nothing to do with becoming them, mimicking or stealing their culture, or expropriate intellectual rights. It is about their presence, and to be able to change.
It is listening to ourselves to get a sense of the world.
To really sense the true force of its living inside of us.
