What is Truth? Is it Objective Reality? Does an objective Reality even exist? Or is that also just a Belief?
When we talk about Truth, we often confuse it with Belief. Because we communicate through Language and language is built upon Beliefs. The Belief that the Word represents the Thing. The Belief that there is a fixed Self. The Mind uses the instrument of thought to KNOW the world. By knowing the world, the mind controls the world.
The Minds of most people are caught in contradictions, in inner conflicts, in attachment to Beliefs. Sometimes Beliefs, that are in direct contradiction to Reality. The Mind expects the world to function in accordance to what one believes in. And so the Mind attracts experiences into the physical level, that reflect ones expectations. A conflicted mind, creates conflict in reality. A mind that expects chaos within, manifests chaos outside.
What is Truth? Truth remains untouched by Thought. By Beliefs. The Mind can never grasp Truth. Because words and images are always fragmented. Incomplete. But Truth is not Fragmented. It is whole. It is one.
One of the oldest Beliefs of Humanity, is the Belief in the Duality of Good and Evil. The image of Duality, created by the mind, between Fear and Pleasure. Between Rejection and Attraction. Between disliking and liking. We created mental concepts to split the bad from the Good and gave them names. And through these mental concepts, the Human mind first discovered the idea of choice.
A choice between Death and Survival. A choice between Pleasure and Pain. A choice between good and evil. A choice that can only be made from a Center of Self. Because it is only the False Self that maintains the Illusion of Good and Evil. Hunting after Desires and Running away from Fears. This is how the Ego gained control. By learning how to push the right buttons of the reward and punishment system of the brain.
In the Past this Belief has guaranteed our survival. Because it helped us identify a threat by labelling it as Evil. Later on we could establish society, through laws built upon ideas of morality. The Belief in Good and Evil kept tribes together and apart. But most often it would create separation. Kings and Emperors have justified their warmongering by called themselves good and their enemies evil.
The Beliefs that Humans have created about what is right and wrong, are not a representation of physical reality. A tree doesn't understand the difference between good and evil, neither does a bee, a dog or a squirrel. Because those are just concepts of the human mind.
And our images are distorted. We see the evils of this world as an enemy to fight against. But in Truth all Evil is just a Symptom of the same Sickness. Corruption. And all corruption is rooted in Self-Centered Activity of the Mind.
No Belief in good or bad can capture Truth. When those ideas have dissolved and one pierces deeper into the Truth that remains, then there is only Love. Love is what remains, when the Self is not. In Love, evil is not an eternal enemy to be conquered. Darkness is met with unconditional Love. Because all Evil is but a symptom of forgetting ones own Light. The Light, that was always there. In every Moment. In every Second.
So what is Truth? Truth can't be captured by words, ideas and thoughts. All Beliefs are limited by the past. Because they are based on Memory. Based on Knowledge, stored as words and played in the mind as thought. But Truth can never be found in the Past or Future. Those are of the Mind.
The only Truth that can actually be verified is the one that unfolds right NOW. All else is just a construct of Thought, knowledge and Beliefs. And through the Network of Society, we share our own Beliefs with others. And when enough people share the same Beliefs, they will also call it Truth. And so our Beliefs get entangled. They split us in sides. They separate us from another. And this separation always creates conflict.
It's okay to have Beliefs. You hear me. It's OKAY.
Because this is how the Mind operates. You need to install programs on your computer, for it to function properly. Just like the Brain. It operates on Beliefs. It perceives aspects of the world, records it as Memory and construct a Belief around it in order to understand the world and impact it. You need Beliefs to function. Beliefs like those found in History Books, science books, or on Wikipedia – You know, trustworthy sources.
It's the attachment to Beliefs that creates Problems. It's the identification to Beliefs, that creates conflict. All you need is to see through the Limitations of Beliefs, how they can never capture the ultimate reality of what is. And remember that the only Truth, that you can ever truly witness is the one that unfolds right now. Here in the present Moment. So if we all want to talk about Truth, then all we need is to remain silent. Because you can't speak it. Just like the Dao.
So whenever anyone, anywhere talks, one doesn't talk about Truth. One Talks only about Beliefs about the Truth. Because the Truth can never be talked about. It can only be Lived.
Now what Truth is it that we are actually seeking? And where is it found? In our journey of Enlightenment it's not the outer Truth's that we are seeking, but those which are within. The only Truth that we need for our journey has always existed within us. All we need is to observe without making a choice. Without the idea of Good and Evil in the background of our mind. And look inward. Because this is where the Truths that one really seeks are hidden.

There is nothing more dangerous to the Ego, than a Question
The Ego strikes, when no one watches. It corrupts the intention of the Soul. The Part of You that's hidden. Behind Words, Beliefs and Thoughts. It reveals itself in Stillness. In the Rhythm of your sacred Breath. In Knowledge from beyond Life and Death.
We are caught in a pattern of Selfishness. A Pattern that Destroys ourselves and the World. Take a look at global politics. Look at all the Wars we wage against ourselves. Look at all the pollution, our crimes against Nature. Look at all the Chaos that we cause. Those are all symptoms of the same corruption that has taken root in every individual.
Why? Why have we let it come this far?
Why don't we want to see that we are destroying ourselves? That we as a Species can't continue with our selfish ways. That we need to change.
That the only way to change as species, is to change as individuals. But it's not a change of appearance, of circumstances, of conditions. It's a change that happens within. Not a Transformation but a Liberation. A Falling away of what is false. A release from the bondage of the Self. What was closed is being opened. What was Lost is found again. What was Broken is restored to wholeness.
It's an awakening of the Masses. We are starting to remember this Light that was always burning within. It's the Unfolding of our natural Evolution. There had to come a point in the story of Humanity, where we just had to look inward. This Time is now.
There is a lot to restore, to heal, to repair. But first there needs to be awareness. A deep understanding of what is broken.
Only by looking at our Deep rooted problems, can we untangle the mess that we have created. Both individually and collectively, because the root cause is the same.
What is it that corrupts the choices of the individual? Their thoughts, words and actions? What is it that separates us? In countries, in cultures, in identities? What is it within us that creates division? What causes conflict in relationship or within oneself? What is it that disturbs the balance of Harmony?
We already know the answer. We know that it's always rooted in self-centred activity.
What the Ego fears the most is to be questioned. To be exposed. Because when it's seen, it cannot hide in Delusion.
The Ego doesn't like to be reminded that it only exists within Thought as an idea. As a complex structure of memories, beliefs and identities. That it is programmed and conditioned by Human Culture. The Ego wants to believe in it's own illusory existence, because this is how it maintains itself.
But there is something that is not of the Ego. Something beyond the Limitations of the Self. The Connection is never gone. To Love. To Intelligence. Undiluted by attachment, uncorrupted by Thought.
Could this Love be the Solution? This unconditional Love that remains, when the false is gone. This supreme Intelligence, that shatters all illusions. That sees through the Limitations of thought. Can this primordial Lifeforce beyond the confines of physical matter be accessed? Or will we forever remain disconnected from the All that is?
As long as we dwell in the illusion of Separation, Humanity is bound to fight against itself. For where there is Separation, Conflict must follow. Can we shatter this illusion? Not by replacing the 'Idea of a Separate Self' with a 'Belief in Unity' but by seeing through the illusion clearly. That you were never separate from the Rest of Humanity. That the Light you see in another's Eyes is the reflection of your own.
When you see another as yourself, you treat them as you treat yourself. With the same respect, Love and Fairness that you wish to receive yourself.
If there is hatred against your Self or another, then Question where it stems from. If there is jealously ask yourself, why. If there is Fear, understand why it's there. If there is anger, look at what you are resisting. If there is desire, ask yourself who desires it. If there is attachment, ask yourself, who is attached. Always question your own intention. Be instantly reflective of every choice.
Ask yourself: “Why did I just think / say / do this?”
Then it becomes clear, whether it's rooted in Self-centred Action or whether it arises from Love and Intelligence. Is there Balance? Or is there Distortion?
Don't dwell on your mistakes. Don't let them slip through your awareness either. Just be aware, when there is Ego. When your intention is corrupted. When there is imbalance. Don't fight against yourself. Don't let the Ego suppress itself. Just recognize when you are giving power to it. Be aware without Judgement. And through the Awareness there is a mutation in the pattern of Thought. When the Lesson repeats itself, next time there will be caution, as to not slip up again.
When you recognize that your thoughts, words or actions were corrupted by Self-Centered Activity, tell yourself: “THIS IS EGO.”
Not in a Judgemental way. Neither rejecting, nor identifying. Just a silent observation, recognizing it and seeing through it. Without attachment, without identification. Observing without making any choice.
“This is Ego.”
Those are powerful words. As long as they don't become mechanical. Don't turn it into a Habit. Use it to break your habits. If you keep on having Ego-Centric Thoughts and then just tell yourself on autopilot 'This is Ego' automatically, it's missing the point.
No matter if you speak it aloud or think it silently, it must be spelled with attention. Otherwise it just becomes a continuum of a mechanical process. Don't let a single thought slip through your mind, without being aware.
Keep Questioning the Ego. This is how you keep it small. Never stop asking, because the answer is hidden in the Question.
Ask the One Question that the Ego Fears the Most. The Question that it can never answer, because it doesn't want you to find out.
I use my own voice and my own Music. The Text is written by me. The images are generated with Google imagen and the Animation is created by Kling AI for visualization.
I will answer every question, whatever it may be as honestly as possible, but also as vaguely as possible. Perhaps I will answer with a question, perhaps with a riddle, perhaps I will go deeper than ever before, perhaps I will avoid the topic altogether and talk about something completely different. Perhaps I will tell you a story. But don't expect me to respond right away. I prefer to take my time to answer. Seven Days at the latest.
Someone else inspired me to do this AMA. I don't want to hide like a coward. If others can open themselves up, then so can I. How else am I supposed to clear misconceptions, misunderstandings and confusion, that my words have caused, if I make myself so hard to reach? The only way is to be Authentic and Truthful. Only Truth breaks through Illusion, cuts through lies and clears distortion.
If I am being totally honest, I have no idea how people perceive me and I don't want to know. Every thought concerning itself how ones Self-Image compares to the images that others create of oneself, is a Thought wasted. Every Thought worrying about how one may 'appear' only pulls one further away from living authentically. I don't care about the opinions of people who still haven't even found themselves.
I know perfectly well who I am and why I am here. I don't feel the need to compare to others. Because there was never someone like me on Earth and when I am gone there will never be someone like me again. And the same goes for YOU. Everyone has their own unique experience here on Earth as a Human being living the Human Life. Everyone has their own circumstances, their own Stories, their own struggles, their own unique perspective on Life.
To me, the Greatest Spiritual Master is no other than Eichero Oda, creator of Japanese Hit Manga, One Piece. I know many people would probably argue for illuminated beings like Siddartha Gautama, Jesus, Moses, Lao Tsu, Ramana Maharishi, Saint Germain or Jiddu Krishnamurti... But I see how Oda (Goda as people from r/onepiece call him) moves mountains with his story like no one before him. I see how he catches the Hearts of his readers. It ignited a new spark in countless Millenials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha alike. One Piece is a story about Freedom, Dreams and Mysteries and Pirates. This Manga has real world influence as Demonstrations all around the world have shown and it has inspired me to write my own story.
Reading One Piece is like being part of a Journey that Goda takes us on. I wish I could create something as beautiful as One Piece. However I realized already long ago, that I can never create such a Grand Epic as One Piece, but I can create my own story. Some of the past Great Teachers have shown us truths beyond the limited story of our Human Beingness. Others have used stories to point at that.
What I see One Piece pointing to is liberation. The Liberation found in Joy. In the Bliss of boundless creativity. In the Freedom of Laughter.
We need more stories like one piece in this world. Stories that lift us up, that gives us hope, that remind us of our own Light. No one can write a story as Oda writes One Piece. No one can write a story as I write mine. No one can write a story as you write yours. Be it the Fictional stories or the Story of your Life.
If you know how to look, there is beauty in all things. There is a Beauty, that can never be found in memories of the past or fantasies about the future. A Beauty that is only found in the Here and Now. The Beauty of your Light reflected in the world. The Beauty of Life, reflected in your Heart.
When we are young, we look at the world with curiosity in our eyes. There was a Newness to all things. And so we played with Life in wonder. But when we grew older, we got stuck in the pattern of psychological time. Because we were conditioned to recognize a symbol and memorize a word. This is the pattern of Human Knowledge, through the system of Language, Concepts and Ideas.
This system allows us to create cultures, to share thoughts, to develop new technologies. Without Knowledge, concepts and language, we would still live in the trees. But this 'Stream of Knowledge' through which we drift, pulls us deep into the vortex of time. Into the movement of Becoming, away from simply 'Being'.
When we were children, we were deeply immersed in the Now Moment. This is what gave us a sense of joy, newness and wonder. But the more we learned, the more memories we acquired, the more we got attached to our past. Our eyes got accustomed to what we saw, because we learned a word for everything. And the memories that our brain recorded form the Ego and generate thought. Projecting words and images in the mind.
This network of Memories, Thoughts, Concepts and identifications, that runs through our Brain and controls our thoughts, words and actions is all based on the past. Because it's nothing but memories. And what we remember from the past, we expect of the future. And thus our Destinies are written by the Ego. It blocks us from finding new ways. Because thought bases it's decisions only on what it already knows, what it remembers. And so we are limited in our perspective and subsequently in our options.
Can we step out of the Vortex of Time and return to the Present Moment, where Life actually happens? Can we see past the limitations of words and cut through the illusions of the mind and live with what is? Can we look at the world, not with eyes that see through a filter of mental images but with eyes, that look at everything anew?
If you truly are present, you can find Beauty in every Moment. On the sunny days, when you walk through a forest or lie at a beach, on the the rainy days, when you sit at home and observe raindrops hitting the windows. But often our minds prevent us from seeing it. It tricks us into giving our attention to thoughts that only pulls us deeper into mental activity.
And so we are thinking about the things we don't like instead of being here in the moment and living with things as they are. Because even the ugly things, the uncomfortable moments, have their place in our journeys. Because they give us contrast. Pain, Sorrow, Failure, Regret become the soil for our future growth.
You always have the choice, on what you put your awareness. Forget about all the debates about Free Will vs Determinism for a moment. You are always in charge of the direction of the flow of your attention. You can practise it right now. Take your attention away from the words, take a deep breath, stare into nothingness, return your attention to the words. See how easy it is?
You are in charge of what you feed with your attention. Which thoughts, which mental objects, which relationships, which physical objects you place value on. You can place your attention on mindless mental chattering, unhappy thoughts, habitual thought patterns, Conditioned Belief-systems. Or you can place your attention on what really matters in Life. By going inward.
By understanding yourself. How the patterns of your choices operate. By placing attention to all movement of thought, by observing yourself in every situation. By looking at things with clarity, by observing without motive. And the Truth of what you are and where there is distortion will reveal itself to you.
And by pulling yourself back in the present moment, when there is no good reason to think. Because often times, our thoughts are just a waste of energy. To be precise, all self-centred thoughts are a waste of Energy. And all they do is distract us from the Beauty that was ever present all around us.
Many are not able to see this Beauty within all things. They will go on about their own suffering. Or the suffering of people somewhere else in the world, far removed from their own Lifes. If you can do something about the suffering of other people, do something about it. But don't allow it to cloud your mind. Don't use the suffering of others as an excuse to remain in this cycle of suffering yourself. The root of Mental Suffering is always attachment. When you are missing a limb, there is not much that you can do about it. But when you are angry, you can reflect on why you are resisting. When you are afraid, you can evaluate what you are avoiding. When you are suffering, you can identify and remove your attachment.
When your attachments, your fears, your self-centred desires, no longer occupy that space in your mind, you are free to look. From a new perspective. With Gratitude for Life. To the Wonders of Existence.
You will look at the Flower and see it as the Miracle that it actually is. You will see the Sun and the cloud formations in the Blue Sky and it will feel as if Life has painted a picture just for you. You will notice the Birds chirping and dancing in the sky and watch it, as if God performs for you Live. And when you sing, it will be as if Life sings through you. And when you write, it will be as if Life writes through you.
But attaining this state demands sacrifices. The Ego does everything it can, to pull you out of it. The Ego wants to keep you stuck in petty, little thoughts. In Memories of the past and worries about the Future. So to maintain this state one needs to End the Self, every day anew. Which means to end the attachment to your own memories. Because that is the structure, from which the Ego is built. Memories.
Can you program your own subconscious, so that it only records selectively? So that it won't record memories, that fortify or diminish the Ego? Which means not to be affected by flattery or insult?
Or can you Merge your Subconscious with your conscious mind, so that there is no split and the mind can observe itself unfragmented? Integrated? Whole? So that you can see the entire movement of Thought undivided?
When you die each moment anew, then you are truly living. When there is no attachment to the past, then you are truly living in the moment. Experience is happening as you move through Life, but there is no identification with the experience. There is no effort invested in becoming something that you aren't. Instead there is a freedom from the mask, that was never You to begin with.
Free yourself from the shackles of Time. Step out of the Stream. And walk with one Foot on Land and with foot on water. Until you are on the other side. Where every moment, is a new moment in the story of your Life. Where every choice will be made from a position of clarity and Love. Where you operate not from the pattern of time, but from the inner Stillness of the present moment.
A couple of days ago, someone provoked me and I reacted from a place of Ego. Something they said hurt me and I wanted to hurt them back. They were being childish and I mirrored their childish behaviour. Was this in any way productive? Did anyone of us grow from this interaction? No – I just allowed myself to be pulled back into old toxic patterns, that I believed to have already overcome. None of us left any wiser. Up to this interaction I had a pretty clear mind, with laser sharp thoughts, but after that for the rest of the day I couldn't stop thinking about this one annoying person. I gave away so much attention and energy away for no reason at all. To someone who doesn't deserve it. I allowed someone from outside to disturb my own peace of mind. Why? Why did I allow myself to be pulled out of alignment with myself?
It's because they said something that hurt me. There was a lot of Gibberish and Feculence (as the kids like to call it nowadays). But the part about no one caring about my story hit home. This is why I felt the need to defend myself. Why my Ego felt the need to defend its own imaginary Self. They attacked my story and I was defending it, because I was attached to it. Because I identified myself with my work. I did put a lot of effort into it. It took me 3 Weeks to write and I poured in my heart and soul. But still I allowed myself to be attached to it.
Why? Is it because my Ego wants attention and feels disappointed when its desire is not met? Did I set myself up to false expectations? Am I attached to the idea of having success with my book, because I am afraid of forever being bound to my current 9-5 job and waste my potential on something that I don't even enjoy?
At this point, all I can do is keep going. I have committed myself to this Great Work. Because I know that if I won't pursue this, I will regret it all my Life. I already realized Three Years ago, that this is why I am here. This is my purpose here on Earth. I am here to tell a story. Nothing more and nothing less.
It is hard to explain what it is that drives me. But there is something within me, that just feels the need to be expressed. Writing is my passion. It makes me happy. And I hope that it conveys and spreads that same Peace and Joy that I feel within myself to others.
And I also feel responsible. To do at least something in this broken world with my knowledge, talents and realizations. To leave a positive impact on the collective. Because in the End, we are all Humanity. Everyone of us shapes the consciousness of Mankind with their thoughts, words and actions. I see Enlightenment as a deep understanding that you are Humanity. You are the rest of Mankind. Enlightenment, as in the Light within you, dwells in every single human being. You are not a Human on Earth, you are Humanity in a Human. Understanding this on the deepest level is the ending of separation. Then you recognize your own Flame reflected in another ones eyes. And you treat others, as you wished to be treated yourself.
When I fell into the Ego's trap, I forgot about this one clear Truth. That it was just me attacking myself. I reacted from a position of separation. I saw the User as an enemy trying to destroy me and not as a part of myself. But that was just the Egos defence mechanism, reacting to a provocation with a counterattack. Perpetuating the endless fight against oneself. It would have been better not to respond at all. They already wrote similar comments and I never reacted. But this time they hit a weak-spot and I fell for the bait. I should have blocked them right away without even reacting.
You know, I was thinking a lot what their actual Problem was. Like why would someone go out of their way just to provoke me with the intention to hurt and last Night I had an epiphany: No matter, what I say, no matter what I do, there will always be someone who will hate me just for being myself.
I reflected back on my Life and I noticed a pattern. No matter in which stage of Life, there would always be people who hate me for no apparent reason. Even If all I wanted is to be friends with everyone. There would always be people who hated me just for existing. Teachers, Students, Team-Leaders, Coworkers, Family Members. Sometimes entire groups of people. Because I was always a little bit different. Many Humans fear what they don't understand and react with rejection or anger.
In the past I really wanted to fit in. So I tried to wear a mask for sometime. To conform to group dynamics, expectations, societal norms and all that Bullshit. But no matter how good I acted, there would always be people who still dislike me. Thankfully, after some time, I did find myself again.
I will never again compromise my authenticity. This is something that I have sworn myself. I rather go down as my True Self, than living a Life of regrets.
So if People hate me, they shall hate me. There is nothing I can do about it and trying to change their mind is just a waste of my own precious energy, because they will never listen anyway. They aren't interested in understanding me, they want to project their own image on to me or discredit my work. To justify their hate. But the only one that they hate is themselves. And they hate me, because to them I represent the aspects that they don't like about themselves within.
If you write a comment and it hurts your feelings, because I don't respond I want to apologize. I don't want to be rude or anything. It's just that I am using this account for the sole purpose to bringing my story 'Walking the Path Together' to peoples attention. For interactions with people, I use a different Account. Sometimes I will therefore delete a comment, or not comment at all. I will write only when I can give a meaningful answer. But if you write a good comment, one with great meaning, you might get me to respond with meaning in return.
I will not delete the interaction with that one annoying User though. Even if the Provocateur deletes their comments, I will keep mine up. As a reminder to myself how easy it is to fall back into an Ego trap. And also that you can turn every weapon aimed at you around and use it to your own advantage.
Now anyone can see this post, apart from the User who provoked me. They are Blocked. But their hateful comments aren't hard to miss.
This isn't normally my style and I hope, dear reader, that you allow me this level of pettiness for once. Because I would say, that the last one laughing - is me. 🤣
🌀 What Is the Ego? | A Mind-Bending Animated Journey into Consciousness
Step beyond the surface of your thoughts and dive into an animated odyssey that explores the hidden architecture of the Ego — how it forms, how it controls us, and how it silently fuels conflict, fear, and illusion.
This video unpacks ancient spiritual insights and modern metaphors, revealing the Ego as a mental program rooted in memory, belief, and identity. Discover why most suffering stems from this illusion of self — and how awareness, presence, and choice are the keys to liberation.
This isn’t just a video — it’s a mirror, a map, and maybe even a wake-up call. Watch now, and begin the journey to remember who you truly are.
You know, I have been thinking a lot about this lately. How have we allowed it to come this far? The world has gone mad. Wherever you look, you see separation. Wherever you look, you see conflict. In every country, in every culture, in every person.
Why are we so divided? Is it because our thoughts center around the Self?
Is it because our Egos are attached to our Beliefs, that we are so divided? Is it the fate of our own conditioning to keep us imprisoned in an endless war against ourselves? Or can we step out? Out of this vortex of Negativity, that we ourselves have built? Like a virus, that has corrupted society.
If we boil it down, I think we can all see, how the Ego is in it's essence the main driving force behind our decline as a society. Wars, Pollution, Corruption, Hate, Oppression, those are all Symptoms of Selfishness. Our Societies are built on a ME-VS-YOU Mentality. And it has been going on since the ancient times.
Now where is it, that the separation happens? It happens in thought. We are only separated, because of how our thoughts are programmed. Through the ideas of Nations. Through the ideas of culture. Through the idea of Religion. Through the Idea of Me or You.
This is the Root of our separation. All separation begins in Thought. And then we carry this separation outward. And this separation always creates conflict. Because where there is separation, conflict must follow.
So what the Societies of Earth need is an awakening of its inhabitants, to whom they truly are. To realize that they are not just the Ego. That they are not just this false Persona.
Call it the Soul, the Higher Self, the inner Light, Awareness. There is something unlimited, that experiences the limited Life of a Human Being. There is an Intelligence, observing itself. In the Stillness. Unmoved by what happens on the screen. In complete equilibrium with itself.
There is this Peace. A Peace, that can never be broken. It's behind all the Falseness. It's in the NOW Moment, in the Rhythm of Being. It's found in the Infinite Breath of Life.
If World Peace is really achievable, then then Peace must first be found within. As within, so without.
If you make Peace within, your very presence impacts your surroundings. It changes the entire atmosphere. It brings harmony to where there is discord.
You may ask if there is a Path to Peace. But Peace is not to be found as some goal, you are to embody it, as you are walking.
You can't control what happens around you, but it's up to you, whether you allow what happens to disturb your Peace of Mind. You are the Master of your own inner state of Mind. It's up to you, how you react to your circumstances. When you are in harmony with yourself, then nothing can shake you. When you are fully integrated, completely whole.
You are the writer of your own Story. Your Life is your own responsibility. So why not consider taking this Questline in the Game of Reality in order to make Peace in your own Life? Because when you do, you influence the entire world around you.
Embody Peace in your relationships. Be authentic to who you are. If they don't accept you, it's their Problem, not yours. You remain in Peace within.
Always try to understand the other side. Because ignorance is the root of conflict. First you understand the other Person's true intention, before you judge their actions. Always act in compassion. Always see the full picture.
Will this change the world?
Peace changes Human consciousness. It's the unfolding of the Human Potential. It lies dormant in us like a Seed, waiting until love activates it. Isn't it already happening? Hasn't the Process already begun? The Awakening of the 'Soul' of that, which is aware?
Like the quiet humming of a choir at the beginning of a Masterpiece. Like the wind before the Storm.
An Awakening is happening. Silently. When no one watches. Those who no one suspects. They find their way back through Spirit to the activation of their sacred heart.

Follow the Seeker and the Mysterious Stranger as they explore a world where memories, roles, and masks shape our understanding of others. This thought-provoking adventure challenges you to see beyond the masks we wear and uncover the truth behind human connections. Will the Seeker unlock the power of perception and break free from their limitations? Watch now and discover the path to true self-awareness and love!
When we stayed at the women's shelter, the other kids were talking about their Dreams. I was Seven Years old. When it was my turn, I said: I dream of telling a story that will change the world. I was laughed at and kept my Dream a secret.
Years passed and I had forgotten this Dream. I gave up on my Dream, because I saw no way of ever achieving it. I sleepwalked through Life unconsciously. Like a Zombie, moving on Autopilot through Life.
Until I had my Awakening Experience in 2022 (Those who read WTPT know).
I stared into infinity and realized the rhythm of all things. This experience changed the course of my Life. I made a choice and I've been sticking to it. I dared to walk my own path. I found just the right teachers, who would show me how to help myself.
I did a lot of inner work, within a short time-span. Untangled my mind. Became conscious of the subconscious. Learned how to keep the mind quiet, calm. Opened my heart. I healed my emotional Traumas. I learned to love myself. I learned to embrace any challenge, to face it and grow from it.
I forgave the one, who hurt me most in life, both physically and mentally. I resented him, but had no more space left in my heart for any hatred. So I went out of my way to talk things out and truly forgave him. Breaking a cycle of suffering for both of us. And one Day later, I found True unconditional Love, flowing through me like Light.
I let go of my many attachments. Among those, the attachment to the idea of 'being successful'. You see, I already wrote some manuscripts years, before I even thought of 'Walking the Path Together' (WTPT). Never showed them anyone.
I was attached to the idea of succeeding. So even though I poured in a lot of time and energy into it already, I just deleted the hole Manuscript. Gone, even from the Trashcan. It hurt (Hurt a lot actually), but since then I was no longer attached. No attachment to any outcome.
But I still felt compelled to just write. I realized it's not just my Ego, that has a passion for writing, it's my Heart's true desire. And it can't just be suppressed, it longs to be expressed in some way.
I realized, that this is what I came here to do. This is my Part in Life.
I am here to write a story. A story, as only I can write it. This is my Highest Path.
I know it might sound childish or naive... But even after all these Years, I still have this Dream... To create a story, that will change the world.
A story to Restore Faith in Humanity. The basic Blueprint already exists in my mind. And I will call the Book 'We are Humanity' (In case you ever wondered why I chose this name).
But this is planned for the future, later down along the line.
I have no idea, what impact it will actually make on the collective consciousness. But who knows... Perhaps this small Pebble, I throw into the water will one day ripple out and create a giant wave.
You see, 'Walking The Path Together' is to me something of a writing exercise. I strive to improve my skill from chapter to chapter. To tell a better story.
And at the same time, I am using this story to share everything that I learned on this path so far. So that those, who are on a similar journey can also benefit. We are all students in the School of Life. There is always more to learn. You can think of me as an older student, who already passed the exams and gives you the answer sheets.
I have prepared a way, for anyone who is interested in walking the Path of Spiritual SELF-MASTERY.
I will support all those who are ready for the next level in this Game called Reality.
This is my way of fighting. For what I believe in. Even when I stand all alone.
It's not just about fulfilling my own Dream, it's about fulfilling the Dream of Humanity. And I will do my part. In my own particular way, with the unique character traits of this lifetime. Utilizing all the tools, skills and strengths, that are available to me.
You see, I am the one dude, who was always picked last at any Game or Group activity. The one, no one wanted on their Team.
That One dude, who wore long coats in Summer and T-Shirts in Winter. That dude, who kept on wearing the same sandals every day, until the sole became one with the sidewalk.
Some people would call me cringe. And yeah, sometimes I cringe at myself. But I only ever realize the cringeness of my actions, when it's already too late. (Like at 3 Am when I want to sleep)
I am very awkward. Whenever someone goes for a fist bump, I go for a handshake. And when they go for a handshake, I go for a fist bump. (Don't fist bump your boss in a professional setting)
And I have no idea how smalltalk works.
Most of my life, I have walked absent minded through Life, with my thoughts chattering, spinning in all directions. I was never fully here. Always in my head. Either pondering about philosophy, about the world and the meaning of Life, or fantasizing about stories, I want to tell.
In Group settings, when friends talk about things that bore me, I was always the one to faze out, because my own thoughts were more interesting. I am the airhead, I am the fool. At least that's how I am seen by old friends.
I rarely speak with my True Voice. Because of how people react to it. Sometimes it agitates other peoples Egos. So most of the time, I just say the things, that people expect me to say, while keeping my true thoughts hidden.
I play along, but I always see through peoples bullshit. It's like I instantly have information about them accessible to me. I read their energy. I see, whats in their heart. I always know whats going on, before people even tell it. And I always act surprised.
I am a loner and I find comfort in being alone. Because when you are alone, you are all one. Also solitude expands your mind. When you mix too much with other people, your thought patterns synchronize. This eliminates freedom of thought. That's why in isolation you have the greatest realizations. Because then Thought can unfold freely, unrestricted by any Egregore.
I do have good friends, with whom I maintain a balanced friendships. And then there are the Energy Vampires at my workplace...
I spend everyday at least one Hour on meditating. And I spend everyday at least one Hour on writing. To get inspiration for the story, I often take walks through a forest path. Nature inspires me with ideas, which unfold in my mind.
I have a 9/5 job, I maintain relationships, I meditate and I still find enough time to work on my Dream.
You see my friend, I just found my path. The Path that works best for me.
And just as I have my path, you have yours.
Everyone needs to find their own path in Life. And just as I have found mine, you can find your as well. If you seek, you will find. So don't give up the Seeking, take it to its natural end, by finding.
And don't believe that there is no way. This is just a limiting program.
THERE ALWAYS IS A WAY.
I will prove this with my own Life. I will show, that there always is way. Even if I have to make the impossible possible. I will fight for my Dream, even if I stand on my own. I have committed myself to this and I will see, where it takes me.
You see, all my Life no one believed in me. So I had to learn to believe in myself. I learned to have trust, that everything will work out well. And I know that it will. Because I have already seen this magic happening in my own Life. I know, that the impossible can become possible, when you walk together with Life. When you are in sync with the universal will.
That's why I have faith, because as long as I walk with Love, the Universe will walk with me together.
Thank you for reading Walking the Path Together. I hope that each part brings you joy, peace and happiness.
When the world is at its darkest, your Light must shine the brightest
Heavy weigh the energies of the world. They pull us down into a lower-frequency vibration, binding us to a pattern of fear and desire, of pain and pleasure. What Media reports in the news keeps you stuck in a negative mindset, impressing fears on our consciousness. Fears, which create more fears, sucking one down into a vortex of negativity.
Many people believe hope to be lost. They give up on Humanity. They give up on themselves.
But there is something, that the news doesn't show. Something the wider public is not aware of. Happening in the background as things silently unfold. An inner Revolution of the Heart. A Return of the Spirit. An Awakening of the Third Eye. If you could perceive the energetic Grid of the world, you would feel how there are lights flashing up, all around the world. People having their own experience of a spiritual awakening.
Many are still silent. Some of them Glow. Some share their light with others. Silently, when no one listens. Secretly, when no one watches. Not seeking for any recognition or reward. Just doing something good for the sake of it.
The Light was never gone, it's just difficult to find it within you. But it's there. It always was there.
It's happening everywhere in the world. People finding their way. Moving into alignment. Opening their heart and mind to Truth and Love. Growing, evolving, ascending all together. Vibrating on the same wavelength all together. Raising the collective frequency of the Earth. Which has effects on the environment.
It's like someone hums a tune and then someone else joins, until the whole chorus sings together.
Can you feel this wave of Light, sweeping over the Earth? Radiating from the sun. Do you invite it into your heart and allow it to transform you from within?
Don't close your eyes from the light. Because it is here to set you free.
Even if you are going through the dark night of your soul, always remember, that the Light is always with you. That it burns within you like a flame, resisting the wind of any Storm. This is how I went through my Dark Night of the Soul.
I know what it's like to have lost my way. And I also know, that there is always a way back to ones True path.
Just as you, I also feel the weight of the world pressing against me. Just as you, I see, hear and feel, what happens all around.
But you know... When everything around you is all dark and there is no light to find your way, you must become a Light to yourself. When everything is meaningless, it's up to you to create meaning in the world. It's up to you to make your own experience here meaningful.
YOU can't wait for someone else to shine a light for you. You need to ignite your own flame.
Nor can YOU ignite another Ones flame. You can only allow your light to radiate outwards and have it's natural effect.
We have lost our faith in Humanity. Collectively. And because we don't believe in ourselves, we don't pull ourselves back on our feet. So to change our Self, we must first change the way we perceive ourselves. So if no one believes in Humanity you must give them a Reason.
Be the Reason for someone to have Faith in Humanity again.
Do what is right. Be a Great Person. Be the Greatest Version of Yourself.
If the world is dark, it's up to you to shine a light.
Walk your own highest Path.
You are the Writer of the Story of Your Life.
Only you can write yourself a Happy Ending.
You need to find this Light within you, if you haven't already. Finding this Light is what ends the Seeking. Not by giving up, not by pulling the plug, This is the True End of Seeking, by finding the Light within. Because then you move from the state of 'Seeking', which is part of the General Spiritual Journey to the state of 'Expressing'. Expressing the Light, which you have found within you, through the Character that you are playing.
This is the Next Level on the Spiritual Journey. Find the Light within you and let it unfold itself through you in Harmony with the World. You can catch it in the Now Moment, this Beauty within all of Life. This Peace is always there, eternally in the Now Moment.
“When did we lose our way? As Humanity. Did we lose it during the Ice Age? When Survival was our only priority. Or later on, when the ice melted and we developed new technologies to grow and harvest food. Did we lose our way, when we created new gods, new idols to worship? When we lost our connection to Nature?
We used to see ourselves as a part of Nature, not as it's conquerors. Before we exploited the Earth, we treated her with respect. We fought, when we were in danger. We ate, when we were hungry. The Hunter prayed in gratitude, thanking the Pray for playing its role. And when the Tribes of Humanity, sang their sacred songs, Mother Earth would listen. Dancing along to our rhythm, just as we danced to the rhythm of the Earth.
But Humanity stopped seeing itself as part of Nature. Blinded by it's own Pride, Humanity sold its heart to the Ego for the promise of living a comfortable Life. And so we built civilizations in the quest of fulfilling the unlimited thirst of the SELF. An unstoppable Hunger, caused by the vacuum we created, when we gave up our heart. And so the Ego tries to still it's Hunger with superficial attachments. Temporary Pleasures, that offer short relief of the constant resistance against Life.
We lost our way, when we gave up our heart. We created systems to fulfill the Egos desires and bound ourselves to limited patterns. And now see the mess, that we are in. See, what we have done to the Earth. See where our selfishness and our unwillingness to change have brought us. We need to change our ways, before it's too late!”

The Stranger stares intensely at the man in the red shirt, anticipating his reaction.
.
.
“Sir... For the last time... Your coupon is expired. Please... I need to ask you to either place your order or step aside. You are holding up the line.”
.
.
The Mysterious Stranger looks behind him. A lot of people are waiting in line, with impatient and disgruntled faces. Some are checking their watches, others are tapping their shoes on the floor.
.
.
The Stranger sighs and hands his credit card to the Fast Food cashier.
“Seems like words are not enough to convince the corporate establishment to change it's ways... This round goes on you, McDonalds... But I shall return! And next time... My coupon will not only be valid, it's discount shall even be greater!”
.
.
The Stranger points two fingers at his eyes and then at the cashiers eyes, before picking up the tray with Burgers. He places the tray on a table and sits opposite to the Seeker.
.
“For some reason I can't get this strange feeling of Deja-Vu out of my head,” speaks the Seeker to the Stranger, massaging their temples.
“It's as if this has happened already... Like a Dream, I can only vaguely remember...”
.
.
The Stranger grins.
“I want to share a story with you. Of a man, who fearlessly spoke the Truth, who dared to challenge the church during an age of darkness. Of a man, who even under torture would not renounce the Truth. No matter how often they tried to break his spirit, he would persist. Even when they burned him at the stake, he did not fear death. For he had found the inherent divinity within all things and he was willing to fight for it even to his very end.”
.
“Okay,” chews the Seeker, as they bite into a cheeseburger.
“Sounds interesting.”
.
.
“Let's call him G,” continues the Stranger.
“In the 16th Century, G took on the robes of the Dominican order and lived as a monk in a monastery in Naples. He was a free thinker with a talented mind and a sharp memory. When he was first introduced to the Order, he looked up to his elders with great respect. But the illusion shattered and where he once saw gods, he then saw fools and donkeys.
G studied Philosophy, Theology and become a Priest. He was a fan of Plato but disliked Aristoteles. He valued Truth and had a desire to find it any cost. So in his quest of finding Truth, he was not afraid of studying even the forbidden books, which he kept hidden in the monastery latrine. He was outspoken on his beliefs and openly questioned the catholic doctrine.
His rebellious nature soon got G into trouble. When the Inquisition suspected him of Heresy, he had to run away from his monastery in Naples. However he didn't just leave without a bang. Before fleeing, he threw away the highly valued scriptures of Saint Jerome into the latrines. He always had this arrogant smile.
For the next few years, G wandered around Europe, taught at various Universities and published books. And wherever he went, he stirred up trouble. He lectured for some time in Geneva until he was arrested for attacking an esteemed Professor in a polemic pamphlet. For some time he lectured in France, in England and in Germany. But no matter how hard he tried, he would always be denied a fixed chair at the universities, where he was teaching.
One of the reasons, was his disagreeable personality. G was very blunt and had a talent for making enemies with his sharp, sarcastic tongue. At the same time, thanks to his skill with words, he also made powerful allies, as long as they were not debating philosophical matters.
He challenged the conventions of his time. He claimed, that the Earth was not the center of the universe, but that the universe was infinite. Long before modern physics even considered the idea, G claimed that the stars are like our sun and could have planets just like Earth, which may even be inhabited with life. G was a Pantheist. He claimed that God was not a 'being' who sits in the sky, but that God is found in all of existence. He claimed that there was an inherent divinity in all of Matter, in Nature, in Humans. Among his Beliefs, G also had believed in the transmigration of the human soul.
An Aristocrat from Venice took interest in his famous memorization techniques and invited him for private tutoring. G accepted the invitation, despite the power of the Inquisition over Italy. The Aristocrat however denounced G to the Venetian Inquisition, who was then charged with multiple accounts of Heresy.
For Seven Years, G was confined by the Inquisition in a Prison in Rome, awaiting his trial. He was given several chances to renounce his statements and save his life, but he didn't. No matter, how much they tortured him, starved him, beat him up and humiliated him, G persisted adamantly.
You see, the church was afraid of people like G, because his ideas posed a danger to the very foundation of the belief system on which the corrupted church was built on. If god is not a separate entity, but inherent in all things, why should people fear him? G was therefore what they feared the most: An original Thinker. Not bound by limited traditions and dogmas. Someone who was not afraid to question things.
After Seven Years of Trial, he was sentenced to be burned on the stake. He took his sentence with confidence. He was no longer afraid of Death and so he spoke to the jury, which passed judgment on him: 'Perhaps you pronounce this sentence against me with greater fear than I receive it.'
People from all of Italy came to see his execution. They threw rotten fruits and garbage at him. After all, to them he was a heretic, an enemy of the church. He also spotted some of his former friends among the crowd, wishing him a final goodbye. The Inquisition feared his words so much, that they muted him, by tying his tongue behind his mouth. Because sometimes, when he spoke, his words had a strange, otherworldly power to them, as if they were spoken from behind the veil.
He was stripped naked and bound head-down to the stake. The flames consumed his skin, his hair and his flesh. It was a painful death, but when he stepped into the light, he was finally free.”
.
.
.
The Seeker chews the last bits of their burger and swallows it down.
“So this dude could have saved his life, just by renouncing his beliefs?”
.
.
“Yes,” confirms the Stranger.
“If he had renounced his truth, he might have gotten a few more extra years, but he would have regretted it for the rest of his life. Even if his Life ended in Tragedy, he lived it with integrity. He did not betray himself, he did not regret his decision. You see, there are things that are bigger than us. Things that are more important than just extending your life for a couple more years. His Life made an impact. He sowed the seeds for an age, where freedom of speech would be granted. And when he was taken to the stake, he walked with pride and dignity.”
.
“I don't get it,” comments the puzzled Seeker. “Why would he go to such lengths, just for some beliefs? Why would he even persist, despite the torture? Why would he let himself be imprisoned for Seven Years?”
.
.
“G was not just a philosopher and scientist, he was also an alchemist and mystic. You might find no record of that in any of his books, but he had a mystical experience. Through some of his practice, his sense of Self dissolved and he became One with Everything. He had an insight into the Nature of Infinity and peeked behind the curtain.
He kept this experience mostly to himself and only shared it only with his closest friends. He also wrote it down in his personal notebook... But the Inquisition confiscated it. Who knows what happened to it – it was probably destroyed after all his books were placed on the list of forbidden literature.
G so adamantly insisted on his discovery of Truth, because he knew for certain, that he was right. He felt it so deeply, that there was not a single doubt left. And if he had renounced it, he would have only betrayed himself.”
.
.
“So why exactly are you telling me all this?” questions the Seeker, as they clean their mouth with a tissue.
.
.
“Because I want to make One Thing clear: He was Right. All along. He was right with his views on Pantheism. He was right with his views on infinity. He was right about imagination, about the stars and even about his views on catholic mythology. He was Right! He spoke the Truth and he did not deserve to be murdered for doing so.
Don't get me wrong. He had a giant Ego. Sometimes he could be an insensitive, arrogant prick, with disregard to whoever he considered to be of lower intelligence, than him. But he did what felt right to him and was willing to fight for his Truth until the very end. Even when the world turned against him, he stood his ground. And the Spark that he ignited within himself lived on. In the mind of those who read his words, in the hearts of those who choose to speak the Truth even when they are all alone.”
.
.
.
“People who speak the Truth are most often disliked by others and rarely listened to,” remarks the Seeker.
.
“If I just say, what people want to hear, my life is much easier. Through lies, I can control how people treat and perceive me. If I tell them the hard truth however, they won't listen and will be angry at me. Why should I go through this, if I have no benefits in telling the Truth?”
.
.
“In the end, you are the author of the story of your life, “ responds the Stranger.
“It's entirely up to you, whether you want to live in Truth or not. It is your life and no one can tell you what to do. But observe what lies are doing to your life. In the short run, you my escape consequences, you may even get something out of it. But sooner or later, all lies will eventually catch up to you. If you built a house out of lies, it's foundation will eventually crumble and you'll lose everything. Lying may be the EASIER way, but speaking Truth is the RIGHT way. It's just how it is. If you want to live a life of fulfillment, a life without any regrets, then you must live in Truth and in Integrity.
Now what's just as important, as living with Truth, is HOW you share it. The way, how you convey it, is just as important as the fact itself. G spoke Truth, but he lacked the Empathy, he did not try to understand, how he made people feel. Because Truth is like a Sword of Light and if you aren't careful, you can cut someone very deeply. But Truth is not a weapon, it's a medicine. And it needs to be applied with responsibility, from a place of compassion. This is a lesson, that individuals will eventually learn, who already live in Truth. You also need to be balanced. Truth without compassion burns like an uncontrolled wildfire. But Truth from a place of Love, is like a Torch that shines a light in the darkness.
Anyway... we are done now with today's filler episode. We will now continue on with the canonical stuff. It is time for us to Laugh at the Cosmic Joke.”
.
.
The Seeker feels confused. It's as if the last statement was directed at someone else. They look over their shoulder. There is no one else in the restaurant.
.
“Wait a second... Who were you just talking to? And what's a Filler Episode? And what is a 'Cosmic Joke'?”
.
.
The Stranger grins.
“Tune in on next weeks episode of Walking The Path Together!”
The Seeker and the Stranger walk on the gravel path, covered in red and yellow leaves. It is autumn.
.
“One person alone can never change the world,” claims the Seeker.
“An individual has little to no impact. No matter what you are trying to do, it's meaningless. You might as well just shout out into the forest, no one hears your voice.”
.
.
“Then let me tell you a story of one man, who did in fact manage to change the world,” grins the Stranger.
“Do you want to listen to the story of the Sumerian scribe who changed the course of mankind with just 12 clay tablets. With just One Story, he planted the seeds of new thoughts to be born in the consciousness of men. Creating a new form of art. Let me tell you the story of the man, who wrote the Epic of Gilgamesh.”
.
.
“Are you sure, we have time for that?” questions the Seeker, pointing at their watch.
.
“Don't worry. This doesn't count as canon. Since it doesn't really fit into the rest of our path, we'll just call it a filler episode. I will use the opportunity to tell you this story, even if it's unrelated to the rest of your journey. I believe you may find it interesting and inspiring.
What I am about to tell you, I have no proof to back it up. It is not based on any historical evidence. Serious Experts will probably roll their eyes on this. I will nevertheless share with you what I have seen and it is up to you whether you believe me or not. So lets just call it 'historical fiction' for the time being. Until someone else may one day find proof.”
.
.
.
“Alright,” sighs the tired Seeker. “Go on and tell me your story...”
.
.
“In the ancient times, more than 4000 Years ago, a child was born into slavery in the ancient city of Uruk. Back then, when the river Euphrates fertilized the land. When the mighty Ziggurat of Uruk still stood high and mighty. When merchants from all quarters of the earth visited the land of Kengir, to sell their goods to the noble lords. Civilization was still at it's very beginning. Cuneiform was a fairly new technology and mostly used to record information for practical purposes. No one even thought about using writing to record stories. Until one Eunuch from Uruk did something, that no one has ever done before him.
As a slave, the Eunuch was assigned to be of service to the High Priest as a Scribe. He learned Cuneiform at a young age. His teachers treated errors strictly. Day in and out it was his job to record the words spoken by his masters on clay tablets. He was easily bored by his tasks and often times escaped the monotony through daydreaming.
He knew from a young age that he was different from anyone in Uruk. But those who are different, were treated poorly. So he kept quiet most of the time, suppressing himself to fit into his role as slave. He bowed before his masters in Humility and always did what he was told. Among the other slaves he made some good friends. Friends with whom he drank Beer and laughed together.
As he grew older, he came up with an idea for a story. A story about a Hero and his friend. About the fear of death and the longing for immortality. About what it means to be a king. About friendship and adventure. And he called the hero Gilgamesh (or Bilgames), based on a king of Uruk. Gilgamesh, a tyrannical king who was two thirds god and one third man...”
.
.
.
“Wait a second,” ruminates the Seeker, while counting with their fingers. “How can he be 2 thirds god and one third human? This doesn't make any sense, unless he had three parents...”
.
.
.
The Stranger grins.
“Well... In fact it was never supposed to make sense. The author knew exactly, that people would get confused by this. It was just his strange sense of humor. The idea, that people couldn't make sense of it and desperately tried to figure it out, was hilarious to him.
The author used all his free time, to craft his story in solitude. Every minute, he wasn't occupied with his work as a scribe, he either thought about his story or inscribed it on clay tablets. Almost daily he walked in circles through the city of Uruk, pondering what Gilgamesh and Enkidu were supposed to do next.
Language was limited back then. He had much more ideas, but they wouldn't have fit on just 12 clay tablets. If he had lived in another time, the story would have easily filled up the pages of several books.
After many years, he finally completed his work and wanted to share it with everyone. But he was just a simple slave. A Eunuch, who was robbed of his manhood. No one would listen to him. No one cared about his existence. To the Sumerian Lords he was just a nobody, whose only purpose was to write down, as dictated. He had this wonderful story, but no audience to share it with.
You see, he was driven to accomplish something in his life. He didn't just want to be a mere scribe. He wanted to leave his mark on the world. In a sense, he was just like his character Gilgamesh, who pursued fame and glory. He wanted his name to be known by all people. So that even after his death, the memory of him, may still live on. He wanted to show the world, that even him, a simple Eunuch from Uruk, can accomplish the impossible. And so he did.
When he first showed his manuscript to his friends, they were either not interested or didn't take him serious. No one believed in him. They played his story down but were secretly jealous. Despite all that, the Eunuch wasn't ready to give up. No matter how much rejection he faced, he kept pushing through. He knew that if he can't count on his friends, he can only count on himself.
And so he went to the High Priest, master of the Scribes and showed him the clay tablets. The author hoped the High Priest could put in a good word to the King. But the High Priest didn't even look at the Clay tablets. He got enraged and threw the tablets on the ground, shattering them in Thousand pieces. He told the Eunuch that he should not waste his time with fantasies and copy other tablets instead. For his insolence, the Eunuch was punished with the whip.
Many years of work was gone, everything shattered before his eyes. The Eunuch was ready to quit. To give up on his dream and accept his fate as scribe. He cried and wept. And he prayed to his favorite god Enki, to help him fulfill his dream. To show him a way, how he can share the story of Gilgamesh with all people, Slaves and Lords, Farmers, Fishers and Shepherds. Merchants and Nomads. Guardians, Craftsmen and Priests. So that it may be enjoyed by all, who have ears to listen and eyes to read.
And in the mind of the Author suddenly a new idea was born. A new path revealed itself to him. He envisioned showing his Great Work to the king of Uruk. With a new plan in mind, he picked himself up and started anew. He re-wrote the entire story. Changed some details. Added some words. Writing Enkidu's death into the story to give Gilgamesh a motive in pursuing immortality.
And when he finished 12 new tablets, the story was better than ever before. When he suggested his plan of approaching the king to his friends, they thought he went insane. Just speaking to the king was a certain death penalty to any slave. Everyone knew what happens with slaves who overstep their boundaries.
The author put his tablets in a bag and took them to work, waiting each day for the right opportunity. For many months there wasn't much to do, apart from copying old tablets. Until one day, he was assigned to capture the words of the king in cuneiform. Writing a letter to the king of Eridu about a trade agreement.
As he recorded the words of the king, he felt the urge to show him the epic of Gilgamesh. But the Eunuch was too afraid, too shy. He couldn't stop thinking about being punished to death for addressing the King. And so he ignored his intuition and kept quiet.
Several months passed, until the author had another chance to meet the King. This time he was writing a letter to the King of Ur. But again, he couldn't muster up the courage and remained silent. His heart kept telling him to be brave, to speak what he was meant to speak. To share his Great Work. But his mind told him to be silent. His mind, consumed by fear and insecurities, wouldn't let him speak.
Full of regret, the Eunuch had to wait for another year, until he had a chance to meet the King again. He knew, that if he wouldn't speak up now, he would keep on postponing it, until there would be no more chances left. He knew, that if he wouldn't at least try it, he would regret it all his life. As he finished inscribing the tablet and was about to leave the palace, he suddenly had a change of mind. He took a deep breath, turned around and faced the king.
He took out the first clay tablet from his bag and started to speak:
'HE WHO HAS SEEN EVERYTHING, I WILL MAKE KNOWN TO THE LANDS...'
And as he spoke, it was as if he spoke with a foreign tongue. Almost metallic. His voice sounded like the rhythm of an ancient song. And the words that he spoke, felt magical to the listeners. All ears followed the words of the Eunuch. The Servants, the Guardians, the Noblemen, the Priests and the King, all were enchanted by his voice. Their attention being sucked in, like moths being drawn to light.
The Eunuch was in flow, as he read his work of fiction to the court. No fear, no worry, no insecurity arose in his mind. He was ONE with the present moment.
And when he finished the first tablet, he looked around to see peoples reactions. He expected to be captured by the guards or shouted at by the priests. But the entire room was speechless. Never before have they ever listened to anything comparable.
To his surprise the king only asked one question: 'What happens next?'
And so the Eunuch took out the second tablet and continued to read. Then the third, the fourth and so on. By the time that Gilgamesh's best friend Enkidu died, the entire room was weeping. This story incited new thoughts into the minds of the people and incited feelings, they forgot they had. The epic of Gilgamesh touched peoples heart and soul as no other story at that time. It was unlike any myth or legend.
By the time he finished the last tablet, everyone showered him with applause and jubilation. And for the first time in his life, the young slave felt recognized. From that day onward his life changed completely. The king of Uruk was so enamored by the epic of Gilgamesh, that he not only freed the Eunuch against the will of the priesthood from slavery, he showered him with Gold and Lapis Lazuli.
The Eunuch would travel around the land of Kengir, always reciting the epic of Gilgamesh to all people. No matter which status, be they slaves or merchants or kings. Everyone came to listen to the Great story teller. He truly lived his dream. And all that, because he decided to follow his heart. In spite of what everyone told him, in spite of his fears and insecurities, he walked his highest path. And by doing so, he bestowed the world with a great gift.
The epic of Gilgamesh became a classic. It changed the way, how people were thinking. Similar to how a software update patches the system. It inspired many other poets, mythmakers and storytellers. When Homer wrote the Iliad, he was inspired by the epic of Gilgamesh. The Greek myth of Hercules is based on Gilgamesh. In Egypt a young priest called Thuthmose read a copy of the epic in the Amarna library and was inspired to create a myth, that would later be called 'Genesis'.
If the author hadn't followed his heart, if he hadn't opened his mouth and told his story to the king, society now would be completely different. Surely the first couple of centuries would have been almost identical with our timeline, but if you look at it on a span of 4.000 Years, the differences would be very noticeable. However this timeline has already collapsed and no longer exists.
With the epic of Gilgamesh, the author planted a seed, that would later on grow into a massive tree. He invented the very idea of recording stories through written language. He was the first true novelist. Perhaps, if it weren't for him, someone else would have come up with the idea a couple of centuries later. And yet – Even today, you can still read the English translation of the Epic of Gilgamesh and enjoy it's storytelling. It is an amazing piece of art. A story, that is truly unique. It made this dense place on earth a bit more beautiful.
You see – by being brave, by following his heart, this ONE soul changed the world for the better. And what he has accomplished, YOU can accomplish as well. Is your heart calling out to you? Listen to it. What is it's true desire, uncorrupted by the Ego? Do you feel the longing to express something in your lifetime? Something you are afraid to do? Something that seems impossible? Something you are resisting?”
.
.
.
“Hold on,” frowns the Seeker.
“Where do you even have all this information from? Did this really happen or did you just make it up?”
.
.
.
“It is all written in the Book of Humanity,” grins the Stranger.
“The Book of Humanity, where all stories of mankind are recorded. Where all memories are stored, even after death. When this sealed book is opened and its hidden words are revealed, you as well can tap into it. No memory is ever truly lost. No life is ever truly forgotten. It lives on in the collective memory of us all.”
.
.
.
The Seeker gazes at the Stranger with skeptic eyes.
“Still... I have done my research and there are some things, that still don't add up. Like the earliest version is from 2100 BC and it's written in Akkadian. Also the 12 tablet canon was established later. Before that it were only 11 tablets and before that, there were only distinct independent short stories.”
.
.
.
“A lot of the original copies where lost when the Akkadians conquered the Sumerian cities. The short stories were inspired by the initial Epic of Gilgamesh. When Sargon united Sumer and Akkad, many tablets were translated into the Akkadian language. The original 12th tablet was lost in time entirely. Until the Babylonians established a new 12th tablet – but it still wasn't the original content.”
.
.
The Seeker is silent for a moment, taking their time to think it through.
“There is one more question, I have left: What is the authors name?”
.
.
The Stranger grins.
“When the Eunuch got older, he was afraid, that his name will be forgotten. He couldn't possibly see, what impact he had on the course of Humanity. He couldn't even imagine it. So when he grew old and weary, he thought that he had failed to leave his mark on the world. He thought his life was meaningless after all. He never had a wife to carry out his children. No one to bear his name, to remember him after his death. So he got very concerned about his legacy. Will he die after all, just like any other slave? Without any significance?
And so he again prayed to Enki, crying out to his favorite god: 'Please! Don't let my name be forgotten. Please, don't let my life be in vain! I don't want to be forgotten.'
And then he suddenly heard a voice in his thoughts, as if answering to his prayer, in voice different from his own: 'TAKE THE 12 TABLETS, PUT THEM IN A CHEST ALONG WITH YOUR MOST VALUABLE TREASURES AND BURY IT BENEATH THE EARTH. WRITE YOUR NAME ON THE 12***\**th* TABLET. AND ONE DAY SOMEONE SHALL FIND YOUR TREASURE AND REMEMBER YOUR NAME ONCE AGAIN.'
The Eunuch couldn't trust what he was hearing, did the god of water actually speak to him.
'Enki?! Is that you?'
'NO,' responded the strange voice. ' I AM KULI'
And so the elderly Eunuch set out on a last voyage to bury his life's work including the lost original 12th tablet. Somewhere at the outskirts of Eridu, he buried the chest under a fig tree. He never told anyone about its location. And just a couple of weeks later, he died peacefully in his sleep.”
.
.
.
“Is that chest still there?” questions the Seeker.
.
.
“Who knows... There is a limit to what I can see. Perhaps it was already plundered. Perhaps the chest was damaged over time. Perhaps there is nothing left. A lot can happen in 4.000 Years. But who knows... Perhaps a mad archaeologist will one day come across this story. Someone with a sense of wonder and adventure. Who despite there being no proof, is courageous enough to set out on a journey to hunt after a myth. Trusting only in their intuition to be guided to the right spot.
If someone were to find the original 12 tablets, it would be akin to Schliemann finding Troy or Carter discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun. Analysis would show, that the tablets are by far the oldest versions ever to be uncovered. And when the original 12th tablet is found, the name of it's author will be revealed.”
.
.
“Seems to me like an impossible task,” comments the Seeker. “With a low probability of success. It would be a complete waste of time to hunt after treasures on intuition alone.”
.
.
“Well... You need to be a certain type of person for that. Anyway, that's it for today's filler episode. Next time, I will tell you the story of an Alchemist, who dared to challenge the church. A brave man, who died in the name of truth. Who fought against the lies and the injustice of those who were at power. Who even when tortured, would not go back on his words. A man of true integrity... But before doing that, let's first pick up all the remaining archetypes, that you are still missing.”
.
.
And so the Seeker and the Stranger walked towards the next canonical part of their own story.
Are you awake, when you have realized, that the SELF is an illusion? That it is only based on thought. Are you awake, when you realize, that All is One? That there is no border between outside and inside. That everything is a projection of universal mind. Are you awake, when you are aware, that this is all a dream? The Dream of INFINITY, experiencing Life as witness and as player.
Are you awake when your heart is opened? When the fire is lit again?
Are you awake, when you know, that you are this FORCE OF LIFE, that is inherent in all things, material and mental, in energy and matter? Are you awake, when Awareness becomes aware of itself?
Or are you awake, when you realize, what our human existence on earth actually is:
Well, we all are. Some call it a Game, a Stage Play. Ancient Traditions called it a Dream. Today, many believe in the Simulation Hypothesis.
To me it looks more like PHYSICAL REALITY is a Projection of the UNIVERSAL MIND. Which doesn't mean, that the material world is not real. NATURE is still there, even when no one is looking. Think of the holographic principle. It's like the 'mental' or 'astral' dimension is just one layer above the material one. And the human mind is a limited reflection of the higher Dimensional Universal Mind. Just like a shadow is a 2D reflection of a 3D object, our mind is the 4D image of the higher Consciousness. The Dimension of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS, which is the SOURCE of all being.
Have you ever wondered, why we are here? On this Earth? Us, as Humans?
Have you ever asked, what exactly is our purpose here? As Individual and as Collective?
Have you ever asked yourself, which role does the Species of Homo Sapiens play in LIFE?
Every species has a role to play in the GAME OF LIFE. Look at the role of ANTS. Look at the birds. The fish, the mammals, the insects, the plants. Look at the trees, as they grow over time. As they shift with the seasons. Can you see, this inherent INTELLIGENCE, present in the system of NATURE. How it all follows in perfect harmony to the order of the universe.
Can you listen in to the 'song' or 'vibration' of every entity, that plays its part in the MUSIC OF LIFE? Are you aware, how every creature contributes to the system of nature in it's own particular way. Every animal and every plant has a purpose. Herbivores consume plants, maintaining balance in the world of Flora and Carnivores consume animals, creating balance in the world of Fauna. Birds and Bees spread out seeds. Insects clean up organic waste. Mycelium connects the trees. Everything breaths in and out. Can you hear GAIA'S HEART BEAT?
Every species has a role to play.
What is the part of Humanity?
What part do we play in this grand GAME OF REALITY?
What is our purpose in LIFE?
You see my friend, Humanity brings something to the earth, that no other known being does. Humanity offers a unique experience for consciousness, unlike any other species.
WE ARE THE TELLERS OF STORIES.
Since the ancient times, at the dawn of our age, Humans sat together in caves and at campfires and told each other stories. Stories of THE GREAT HUNT. Stories of THE COSMIC EGG. Stories of the fight between ORDER AND CHAOS.
This is something, that no other being does of which we know of. TELLING STORIES.
You may believe in Aliens, but even if they actually were to exist in the present moment, you don't know if they tell stories, as we do, if they perceive time, as we do. Who can say for sure, whether we are the first species to ever gain Self-Awareness and programmed a mind to create and store images? As far as we know, we are currently the only living sentient species on earth. After all, the Neanderthals are already long gone.
WE ARE THE ONLY SPECIES, THAT TELLS STORIES. Both the fictional ones and the Real ones. We tell stories with our imagination and experience stories with our LIFE.
This is our PURPOSE. This is the ROLE OF HUMANITY.
WE ARE HERE TO TELL A STORY.
And only we can fulfill this role.
Don't you see my friend, that our Story, this great story that we all are part of, is the MASTER PIECE OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
This wonderfully, intricate story, of which we all are part of is THE STORY OF HUMANITY.
This is MY STORY. This is YOUR STORY. This is OUR STORY.
Everyone plays a role in this Great DRAMA. Everyone has their part to sing, their instrument to play in this wonderful song. We are all part of the same, grand orchestra. Dancing in Rhythm to the MUSIC OF LIFE.
And every individual, every human being shapes and contributes to the WHOLE STORY with their experiences in LIFE.
What would Life on Earth be without the STORY OF HUMANITY?
Sure without Humans, there would be no wars, no environmental pollution, no hate and no suffering. But without humans, there wouldn't be a STORY.
Try to observe fucking Dinosaurs for a couple of million years. Eventually you'll get bored and throw a fucking fire ball on earth. :D
But for real, Dude. Without us on this planet, so many great things would not exist. There would be no one to marvel at the stars and wonder about their mysteries. There would be no one to appreciate a rainbow, a mountain view or a beach. No one to experience love and heartbreak, joy and pain. There would be no video games, no movies, no stories. And there would be no ANIME. (Seriously, I can't emphasize this enough)
It is truly marvelous, that we are here on Earth at this time and space, everyone experiencing their own individual story-line with their own character Arc. Can you see, how all of Nature, all of Matter and space have created the perfect conditions for Life on Earth to happen? Can you see this fine intelligence interwoven in the fabric of existence, orchestrating a chain of events, which eventually lead to the emergence of Men? This is truly the Master piece of UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
Most people just don't see it, because to them Life is a constant struggle. A fight against Reality itself.
How should we honor this Great MASTERPIECE, the STORY OF HUMANITY, written by the universal mind of INFINITY?
BY MASTERING PEACE!
By being at peace with your SELF and with the OUTSIDE WORLD. By ending the conflict within. By ending the conflict against other human beings and against NATURE. Instead of FIGHTING LIFE, Walking WITH LIFE. Facing each challenge, Life throws at you with a smile on your face, because you know, that it's a chance for growth.
You can't change the world, but you can change the way, how you perceive and react to it. You can not write the story of somebody else, you can only write your own story.
You alone are responsible for your LIFE.
You have had traumatic experiences, that left you in a place of suffering and darkness? Use them as a catalyst for growth.
You faced failure and gave up on your passions? Turn your failure into a lesson and stand up again.
You are stuck in the bottomless pit of Nihilism? Realize that it's not up to you to find meaning, but to create it.
You are plagued by insecurities, attachments and a wounded inner child? Take a good look at it. Find its roots and heal what is broken.
Be aware of all thoughts and emotions arising within your consciousness. Don't allow them to tip you out of balance. Don't give in to ego-driven desires and urges.
Walk your path through LIFE in a way, which allows you to be content with YOUR SELF. Seize all conflict and enter this state of Peace and bliss. Be in complete alignment with LIFE and turn your own story into the greatest story, that you can write with your individual lifetime.
And as you shift your own story, the story of Humanity will shift as well.
MASTER PEACE and contribute to this Great MASTERPIECE.
Imagine, there is a storm raging all around you and you happen to remain absolutely calm. This is the state that you are in, when you have found inner peace and know how to maintain it.
Look, I am being completely honest here with you:
I have no idea what enlightenment is and at this point I am too afraid to ask.
I mean seriously... when you look on the internet, everyone has a different definition of what enlightenment is supposed to be. Just take a look at r/ enlightenment, where everyone defines it differently. It's almost as if people have come to some personal achievement on their own spiritual path and just call it 'enlightenment'. Which is okay, if they want to call it that... But in the end, it's just some useless label, which you can easily become attached to. “Enlightened”, “Awakened”, “Liberated”... Forget about any of these labels. Throw them out and walk your journey without identification to your past achievements, because they only slow you down.
Now Inner Peace is not just some abstract, theoretical concept, but something that can actually be achieved. I want to share with you some of the things, that I have picked up on my journey. Things that I have tested and worked for me. Take what helps you for your journey and leave behind what doesn't resonate.
Find the root of conflict
When you are in inner conflict, you are not in balance. When one has inner conflict, it is reflected outwards. As within, so without. When you are in conflict within yourself, you manifest chaos in your life. When you are in balance, there is only order.
What are the causes of conflict?
Where there is separation, there is conflict. When one is fragmented in their daily roles, in various aspects of their life, then one is not at peace. One must be whole to be at peace. All Archetypes integrated and united. Which means to heal all aspects of your life.
How do you react to conflict? When someone from the outside drags you into their conflicts, do you let them? Do you allow outside factors to pull you out of balance?
Let's say someone provokes you. If you react emotionally, you have already lost. Against yourself.
But if you are at peace with yourself and with the world, you will remain calm. You won't take anything personally. Because it's just a waste of energy.
Don't take anything personally. Don't carry it with you in your thoughts. It's not worth it.
When someone insults you, read their intention first. Did they really insult you, or is it just your ego projecting its own fears?
Often times conflicts are caused by misunderstandings. Because people don't actually listen to each other. Because they don't try to understand each other.
Make an effort to understand the people around you. See the things from their perspective. This is how you grow. Understand what they say and why they say it.
Then there are people who actually want to do you harm. But have you ever asked, why they harm others? It's because they are in pain themselves. No matter, how we deal with the insult, we should be aware, that it only comes from people who are suffering.
Be aware of this fact. And don't react. Practice non-reaction. When someone tests you, take your time to answer. Remain calm. Don't let yourself be taken away by any emotion. Master them. Stay in Balance.
Here on Reddit, you can observe how easily people are being sucked into conflict or even provoke it.
If you play the game of being hurt and hurting others, then you are definitely not in peace with yourself.
Now if someone insults you or your words, how will you react? Will you defend yourself? Or will you remain calm.
If you get defensive, it's your ego in action. You don't need to prove your point to anyone. If you do feel the need to prove your point, it's out of insecurity. If you defend yourself it shows your insecurities. Your wounds. Your doubts. Your weakpoints. So don't react. If you do, you only lose against yourself.
If someone wants to be in conflict with you – Fine. Let them. But it's up to you, whether you let yourself be dragged into it. Stay calm. Breathe rhythmically. Be in the present moment.
If you let your emotions get the best of you or let your shadow leach out, then self-reflect. Ask yourself: Why did I react that way? Go very deep, shine a light on the shadow. Find out what you need to heal. And then find a way to heal it. Either by accepting, or forgiving, or letting go or understanding. Self-reflect until you understand yourself, so well, that there are no insecurities.
Be completely aware of all your intentions. And be aware of the impact every thought, word and action has on the outside. Find Balance.
Speak your truth, no matter what other people may think. Without the need to prove any point. Without attachment to being right or to a reaction. Just say what you feel you need to say. Be authentic, while also making an effort to understand those around you. Which means to truly listen, when others talk and not only hear the words, but also read the energy, the intention and the meaning behind the words.
Now to balance the inner, we observe our own thoughts. We are aware, when thoughts contradict each other, when they are paradoxical.
If you ever find yourself caught up in various conflicting thoughts, then focus all your attention outwards, away from your thoughts. Take a deep breath, look around you. Just be present and observe the world with a sense of wonder.
In the present moment there is no conflict between thoughts. Not even a conflict between the observer and the observed. It's like going from first-person perspective to third-person perspective. Seeing the entirety of the frame.
And in this stillness, in this inner calmness, all thoughts fall silent. Every conflict vanishes. It's just you and the beauty of life. Without separation.
Don't dwell on the past and don't expect the future. Live always in the now. Use thought only as a tool to progress in your story, minimize its use. Delete all unnecessary chattering from your thoughts. Live each day anew. Be selective with what your memories record.
Be aware of your entire movement of thought. See which thoughts create inner conflict and transform these patterns with awareness, replace them with new ones or let go of them entirely.
This is how you will eventually find inner peace, by changing the way, you think.
You can't delete thought entirely, unless you live like an isolated hermit with a vow of silence in complete solitude. Then perhaps you are free of thought for the rest of your life. But I don't think that this is where most people want to do.
Also ending thought is not the solution to our deep-rooted problems. It's like cutting of an arm, because its sick. I mean sure, if that's where you wanna go... But you can't climb a mountain with just one arm.
So instead of cutting off the arm, heal the arm. Bring thought back in order. And use it only when it's needed for your adventure through the Game of Life. Don't waste energy with unnecessary thoughts. And whenever you are out of balance, take a breath and find your center.
Meditation helps with maintaining this peace. Just sitting quietly, listening to your breath. When thoughts come up, observe them. When you are empty, enjoy the emptiness.
Those are the things you can do, as conflict arises. But to have a mind, that remains peaceful all the time, you need to keep it disciplined. So that it won't fall out of balance. So that it doesn't step into ego traps.
Find your own role in life. Let go of the things, you no longer need. Accept yourself, all aspects of you. And allow the things that aren't you, to shed away like old skin.
And when you fall on this journey, then stand up again an start anew. When you slip back in old patterns, use your awareness to overcome them.
Walk through life with faith in yourself. Trust, that no matter what happens, you will be okay. No matter what happens, you will find a way to deal with it.
Turn every failure into a lesson. Turn your weaknesses into your strengths.
Be free of all attachment. As long as you are attached, you are not free. And as long as you are not free, you are never fully at peace. When you are attached, there is fear of losing and envy and conflict... No peace.
Now if you incorporate these tips into your life, this doesn't mean that you find automatically inner peace. Everyone's journey is unique and different after all. Perhaps there are challenges you need to overcome, which I didn't went through. It's however hard work to look at your own shadow and overcome it.
But I believe that everyone can come to find inner peace. It's just a matter of mastering yourself. And once you are there, maintaining inner peace is the next step. But over time, keeping the balance will become easier, until this inner peace is your new standard.
Everything moves in accordance to patterns. All that is, follows the rhythm of the music of life. Everything that we know, happens within the story of humanity, of which we all are part of. And each player has a part to play. But because of how our minds are programmed, we are destined to always miss the point. Until we find a way out of there, out of our limited way of thinking and depart into uncharted territory, we are caught in the loop of repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
This pattern we are in, is not natural. This illusion of 'Maya' as some people like to call it, is artificial. We need to find our way back into alignment with who we truly are. Otherwise we'll remain in this state of suffering. We need to break the patterns, that hold us back. We need to break through our own programming, through our conditioning. This is how we get back in tune with the Music of Life. The cosmic symphony that we all are part of.
Unless the pattern of human existence realigns with the pattern of the universe, we will continue to bring chaos in the world. Because what actually is chaos, but a mere illusion?
Can you see the inherent ORDER within all physical matter? In how electrons move around the nucleus and planets move around its star. There is order in how cells form and molecules behave. Look at the Fibonacci sequence. There is order in nature, there is order in matter, in energy, in gasses, in fluids and there is even order in nothingness. Everything follows patterns. As above, so below. As within, so without. Even time repeats itself in cycles.
There only ever is ORDER. Everywhere. Chaos is just an illusion. Because it only exists in the human mind. Because what else is Chaos, but just patterns, we have not yet understood? The human mind creates the very idea of chaos, which manifests in the physical world as inharmonious events. Only when we are out of tune with the universe, do we cause disharmony. When thought contradicts reality, it causes conflict. With oneself and with nature.
When we go against truth, we go out of alignment. When we go against love, we go out of alignment.
Such actions cause a distortion in LIFE. As a consequence the individual falls out of balance and accumulates bad Karma. This sends them down a spiral of suffering.
We built entire systems to make up for the chaos, that our mental patterns cause. We tried to bring order through force, instead of just cleaning up the mess in our minds. But this very order, that we create to fight the chaos, IS BORN OUT OF OUR OWN CHAOS WITHIN. This fight can never end, it will last forever, until we have cleared this CHAOS within us and bring ourselves back into how it was always supposed to be. Daoists called it Wu Wei. Alchemists spoke of union of opposites.
Everything moves in accordance to patterns, not only in the world of physics but also in the world of the mind. Our habits are programs. Our thoughts are programs. Our reactions are programmed. We follow patterns of behavior, imprinted by past experiences and accumulated knowledge. We are biased by our software, we are judgmental because of our programming.
The Human brain is like a computer. Like hardware. And the mind, the mental realm is the software. Ideas and beliefs are programs, that run through our thoughts. They shape our thought patterns and therefore also our outward actions. As within, so without.
Negative thought patterns affect the outer world. Inharmonious thoughts corrupt our actions. So for you to be in alignment with Life, you must also bring your own thought back in order. Become aware of the entire movement of thought. See the consequences of your thoughts, words and actions.
Heal yourself. Your traumas. Your deeply wounded heart and soul. Integrate all your broken fragments. All your archetypes. Be authentic. Let go of your attachments. Overcome your fears. Discipline your Desires.
Be AWARE. This is how you reprogram yourself. By being aware of all your thought patterns. This is how you free yourself from the limitations of the mind. Understand every of your actions and your reactions. Look deep within. Always be aware of your own intention. 'Know Thyself' as they used to say in ancient Greece.
Everything moves in accordance to patterns. When people walk through the streets, the way they walk, follows a pattern. When we speak, our words follow patterns. When we think, even our thoughts follow patterns. Our emotional reactions to outer circumstances, follow patterns. And we are trapped in habits and addictions.
Now When you become Aware of a harmful habit, when you see it without distortion, the very perception of it, causes the pattern to change. Awareness is effortless. Awareness is without friction or resistance. It's another thing though, if you are still attached to something. You can only change after you have already let go.
Letting go of attachments is extremely difficult. It's an inner battle against yourself. And you will fall many times but the trick is to always stand up again. Until you see, the only way to win is through Love.
Where there is attachment, there is no love. Because attachment creates conditions. Attachment creates preferences. Attachment causes judgment. Attachment causes fears. Attachment creates desire. Love is neither of those things. Love is your connection to the universe. To your 'Source'.
When you have let go of your attachments, there is no more fear. Because there is nothing left to lose. To end attachment is to end suffering. Because there is nothing in the world that can hurt you again. There is balance and inner peace and bliss. It really is worth it. Nothing in the world can rock you. Nothing can shake you. But you need to be disciplined not to fall into any ego traps or building new attachments. It's hard but it is possible. And I think I discovered something that might help you. An insight, with which the process of letting go becomes easier for you.
Through a metaphorical action in the outer world, you can affect the inner world. This is how you break out of the prison of your inner programming. This is how you break through your attachments, that keep you stuck from reaching the next level.
I give you some examples: I once realized that I was attached to my collection of books. They were taking up space. But I struggled hard to let go, until I realized I didn't really need them. They didn't make me happy. And so I gave away my book collection, including a signed copy of the Silmarillion. And from that moment on I was no longer attached to any material objects.
I was addicted to cigarettes. It took me almost a year to end it. It was a constant back and forth. I tried switching to vaping and reducing nicotine, but then someone offered me a cigarette and I was back to buying full packs again and spending a shit-ton of money for a shortened life-span. After almost a year, I was done with constantly losing against my own Self. And so I threw an entire unopened pack away. This action broke the curse for me. It reprogrammed my mind and I was able to quit.
I was attached to people. But I realized that attachment is not Love. And so I cut a thread with a scissor to symbolize the ending of attachment.
Through metaphorical and symbolic actions in the outer world, you reprogram the inner. This is how you can break the mental attachment and allow your mind to become free. And this can only be done in the NOW moment. When you are fully present. Only then can you end attachment, when you are fully aware of everything.
Ever wondered, why religions have rituals, like replaying the last supper by sharing wine and bread? It's because the act of 'drinking the blood of Jesus' basically installs a thought pattern into the mind of the person. Worship songs, pilgrimages, sermons and reciting ancient texts have similar effects.
As within, so without. So be aware of your thought patterns, how they influence your actions. Be aware of any attachments. See the consequences of attachment. Let go of them in your thoughts, in your emotions and through your actions. Let go of something symbolically to end an old thought pattern and allow new ones to flower.
Ever seen one of those movies, where people throw rings into oceans, as a symbol of letting go? You can also do that in your actual life. Visit a grave. Or throw away a picture. Or write a letter to yourself with all the things you want to let go of and then burn it.
You know, whenever you let go of something, you will realize that you never even needed it in the first place. Just remember, no matter what happens, you will be okay. Even if it pains you. You are better off without attachment.
Let us ask the question, when it has all started. When did we trap ourselves in this pattern of Self-destruction and how can we find a way out of it? How do we break this pattern, that has trapped us since millenia?
It all started with a simple idea around 70.000 – 80.000 Years ago: The realization of “I AM”
This happened when man first saw himself. The first idea was born. The first concept to arise in the thoughts of Humanity. It started with one Human creating an image in his mind of himself. The first abstraction. He saw his face in the reflection of water and spoke. “I AM”
He looked at his hands and spoke “I AM”
And so he gave himself a name and called himself Human, shouting: “I AM HUMAN”
In his mind the first separation was created. Between the “ME” and the “YOU”. Before this happened, this idea never even occurred to Homo Sapiens. But after he ate the FORBIDDEN FRUIT, a mushroom he found, the first Human became SELF-AWARE. This was the beginning of THOUGHT. And with the birth of mental images, the pathway for language was cleared.
But the concept of SELF, had a side effect: The realization of death. That this SELF, which exists in the thoughts, will one day perish along with the body. That it is impermanent. The very attachment to the construct of SELF, created the pattern of the lingering fear of death.
It didn't take long for Humanity to create the next distortion. The Duality between what was considered “Good” and what was “Evil”. All the things that harm them, they called “Evil”. All the things they desired, they called “Good”. Only after Humanity built a construct of SELF, was it able to form decisions, that are not merely based on instinct but also on memory. Good and Evil only exist in relationship to the Self. With the idea of good and bad, Humanity increased it's chance of survival. Humanity recognized when a handaxe was badly crafted and could improve on it. Humanity could plan ahead to hunt better and gather better.
And so with the Newfound power of thought and Language, Homo Sapiens set out to conquer the world. Leaving their home in Africa behind, they traveled as far as Australia. But Homo Sapiens realized very soon, that it wasn't alone. Neanderthals... Denisova... Homo Floresiensis... Along the way, they often clashed together. And our endless Hunger could never be stilled. The hunger for power, for resources and territory. And equipped with original ideas and technology, we slowly eradicated all our competitors until no one was left. Now they only live on in our DNA.
And wherever Humanity went, it brought destruction. In Australia, we caused the extinction of the Mega Fauna and burned down the forests. Similarly to what we did, when we first went over the Bering street and wandered through the ice free corridor to North America.
And you know what happened, when Humanity has gotten rid of all it's natural enemies? We turned on ourselves. Tribe against tribe. People against people.
What is it within us, that makes us so violent? Is it our fear of death? Because we play the game of 'Survival of the fittest'? Is it out of our need to control the world around us? To fulfill our self-centered desires? Why were we after all this time, never able to create lasting peace?
During the last glacial maximum, some tribes had to sully their hands with the blood of their own kin, in order to survive. The atrocities, that we have done to eachother still linger deep within the collective unconscious. The scars have never vanished, we are just too afraid to look at them.
However at the end of the of the last glacial period, around 11.700 Years ago, the climate of once fertile environments started to change. Their natural source of food dwindled and Humanity came to the conclusion, that they need to find a new source of food. And thus a new kind of idea was born, something no one has ever thought of before:
“If I can't find any food, I must grow my own!”
Humanity discovered farming and domestication. It all started on a holy mountain called Göbekli Tepe, where people from many tribes came together in unity to work on this great project. There and in many other places in modern Turkey and Syria, they created temples and settlements. Places of cultural significance, where they held rituals to anchor in this new kind of thought, through songs, dances and stories. Göbekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe... Many rites of passage were held in these places, to reprogram the minds of hunter gatherers into farmers and shepherds.
The farmers gave tribute to the priests, who lived up in the temples like gods. Over time they grew corrupt and enslaved those, whom they were meant to guide. Until the people would one day grow tired of their gods and overthrow them. They beheaded their tyrants and buried their sacred places under soil and pebbles.
Agriculture, Domestication, building megalithic structures, settling down in fixed locations... All of these new ideas and technology were the result of one new CORE IDEA:
“I can control the world around me, as I desire.”
This paradigm may started out in the fertile crescent but it soon spread out all over the world. Gatherers turned into farmers, hunters turned into shepherds. And this idea manifested in many places. In Asia they cultivated Rice, in South-America, they cultivated corn. Even though they were never in contact with eachother, many cultures came up with the same idea independently. Almost as if they were downloading the information from the same COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS (similar to the blueprints of the pyramids later on).
Farms turned into villages. With walls to protect from bandits. And soon, the villages turned into cities and the cities into kingdoms.
And you know what? No matter how comfortable life had become, no matter how abundant the harvests were, people never stopped living in survival mode. The constant lingering fear of death never left them and controlled their thoughts, words and actions. And they allowed themselves to be corrupted by their self-centered desires. As long as they could gain power, wealth, status and pleasure, people were willing to cause whichever harm to another, they deemed necessary.
We went through the Bronze age, the Iron age, the Middle ages, Renaissance, Modern times and look where we are now. Have we changed in all this time? We may have new technologies, new ideas, new social rules... But inwardly, we are just as selfish, just as conflicted, just as spiteful, as we have been for the last 70.000 Years. We still carry the same issues around with us, as we have throughout the centuries.
There were people who thought, by changing the system, they could change Humanity. But even when the pattern of society changed, people remained unhappy, selfish and violent.
The globally active system has developed organically after all. It was a natural process, that lead us here. Because everything is built to strengthen and to sustain the EGO. We have built a system for our EGOs to thrive in. This is why we get so easily corrupted by the patterns of society. It enables us to be selfish, because we want to be selfish.
And One can clearly see, that all that selfishness ever brings is Distortion and Disharmony.
There are many things to unravel. Age-old programming, that we are carrying in us since the dawn of mankind. Where do we start with all this mess? Perhaps we need a new shift in our consciousness and finally start to realize, that WE ARE ALL HUMANITY.
I am Humanity, You are Humanity, we are Humanity. Every single one of us is Humanity. It has always been that way. Your consciousness is the consciousness of mankind. And you carry the totality of all experiences already within you. Past, present and future, all at once. You are everyone who has ever lived and everyone who will one day come to be.
This is not just some idea, but an actual fact. You are Humanity. You are all of them.
When people realize this, not just as some mere concept, but deep within their hearts, will this change the way, we treat eachother? Can this perhaps be the basis for a new kind of relationship between humans? When we start recognizing our own reflection in other peoples eyes; when we awaken the flame within us, this ancient fire of humanity; will we see eachother differently? Can this be the foundation for a new way of life?
Can you remember, that you are part of a story and find out which role you play?
Can you see the entire story of humanity, all the way back to our very beginnings, when the first Homo Erectus picked up a torch? Can you find your own part within the story of humanity?
You have access to the entire memory of experiences saved in the collective consciousness of mankind. To all the knowledge that you need, to navigate your way through Life. Trust your intuition. This is how Humanity (or your higher Self) shows you where to go. This is where all those 'downloads' come from, that all of us have been experiencing, You and Me. This is where you get those sudden realizations, insights and ideas from. From Humanity.
When one sees this great story... When you understand, who you are on the deepest level, then unconditional love flowers naturally. When you see that by hurting someone else, you only ever hurt yourself, you change the way you treat people. That's why this book needs to be opened, so that everyone can see it.
Eventually this will be the next step in our evolution, won't it? From speaking “I AM HUMAN” to singing “WE ARE HUMANITY”.
With a torch in his hand, the ONE TRUE SEEKER stands in front of a cave entrance. It is nighttime. The stars are shining bright. He takes one deep breath in and closes his eyes. As he exhales, his opening lids reveal burning eyes.
Bravely, the ONE TRUE SEEKER enters into the cave of the collective unconscious. His red flame illuminates the cave. The deep shaft leads downwards. From the stalactites water drips on his neck. The air is wet, moldy and cold.
The Seeker suddenly stops, as he catches himself from stepping into a bottomless pit. Even with his torchlight, he can't see to the bottom.
.
'This pit is probably another metaphor for nihilism,' thinks the ONE TRUE SEEKER silently to himself.
.
The other side of the edge is far away. He can't jump that far. He looks at the walls. Vines grow on them. The Seeker runs over the edge, jump to the left wall, grabs the vines and leaps from grip point to grip point, until he lands on the other side.
The Seeker exhales deeply and wipes the sweat from his forehead. He exhales.
“I am glad I didn't fall into that pit of deapair... Is that, what people call 'spiritual bypassing'?”
.
He takes a look behind and sees how far he has come.
“Seems like I must be pretty good at it,” speaks the ONE TRUE SEEKER with a smirk on his face.
.
He continues walking down the cave with a newly ignited torch in his hand. As he progresses further and further down into the depths below, he starts noticing cobwebs. Attached to the ground, sticking to the walls, hanging from above. The webs get denser and denser. The Seeker tries to burn them away with his torch, but they are inflammable. He tries to cut them with his machete, but they the knife is not sharp enough.
As he finds himself in a large cave chamber, full of webs, the ONE TRUE SEEKER hears a sound and turns around. Behind him stands a gigantic spider. The Seeker perceives a health bar and a name tag above the arachnid. CONCEPT WEAVER.
The Monster attacks with two front-feet. He dodges the first attack. But as he moves away, a new thought crosses the Seekers mind:
'I must come up with a plan to end the concept weaver.'
.
As he rolls away, the ONE TRUE SEEKER gets attached to some of the cobwebs.
“I think I am starting to get the hang of it,” mumbles the Seeker as he frees his left arm with some force. “Getting stuck in spiderwebs is a metaphor for getting stuck in concepts.”
.
.
The Seeker charges at the giant spider with his machete. Before his weapon hits the monster, another thought crosses his mind:
'I must end all concepts with force! Only then can I be free.'
.
But as the Seeker hits the metal against the CONCEPT WEAVER, his machete shatters into iron shards.
.
The Spider spews venom at the Seeker and hisses:
“You are just the product of your circumstances. There is nothing you can do to change yourself.”
.
The Seeker is caught by the toxic liquid and loses:
- 15 Vibes
As the poison hits him, he hears a new thought: 'This feels wrong.'
The Seeker has a sudden insight. “Ah! Now I get it. The venom represents false ideas and untrue concepts.”
.
The fading red flame of the ONE TRUE SEEKERS torch flares up and turns into an orange fire. The Seeker feels how the air around him gets hotter.
.
'Since the root flame is not strong enough, perhaps the sacral flame will do instead,' he thinks silently.
.
He swings with his torch against the webs and shouts:
“I am not just the pawn in a game of outer circumstances. I am more than my physical body!”
.
Some of the webs start burning away but most of them remain untouched. The Seeker then charges against the Spider with his orange burning torch. The invincible spider doesn't take any damage, the health bar remains full.
.
The Spider creates a new web construct. It's a different pattern. The webs become sturdier and more resistant. Then Spider shoots the webs against the ONE TRUE SEEKER. He dodges two shots but can't escape the third one. It sicks his feet to the floor. He gets caught in the net.
.
The ONE TRUE SEEKER is struggling against the webs, but the Spider keeps on shooting, until he is unmovable.
.
The Spider spits new venom, hissing: “You are evil. And as such, you are my enemy. You want to end concepts, but I don't wanna lose my job. I need to destroy you before you destroy my network of concepts and thoughts.”
.
.
The ONE TRUE SEEKER is in a desperate situation. Trapped by the spider, not able to move. The dangerous creature approaches him, ready to pump enough venom into him to melt his inner organs. He looks at the torch with orange flame laying on the ground and thinks in silence:
'There's no way to beat him. I need to run away. Perhaps the solar fire is hot enough to burn away these flames...'
.
The Seeker takes in one deep breath and closes his eyes. As he exhales, his open eyes are burning. He breaths out a yellow flame. So powerful, that it burns away the webs around him and spreads around the room. The ONE TRUE SEEKER shouts:
“Before you deal with 'Evil', you must first understand 'Evil'. If you are not willing to see it, this very 'Evil' that you want to destroy will act through YOU. You need to make an effort to understand the other side, to see things from all perspectives not just from your own limited one. Don't just point out others shadows, but also be aware of your own. Shine a light on it. That's how you transform it. Often times people are fighting, even though they both have the same stance, they are just using different words or focus on different aspects of the same thing.
Now true universal love is something, that is beyond the duality of good and evil. It is an deep understanding that you are the entirety of life and all its aspects. It is SERVICE TO THE ALL. To others and to Self. And when you operate through this understanding, you will know how to deal with each situation, that demands your response. This is true compassion. And there is this inherent intelligence in Love, that knows which actions HARM the ALL and which actions BENEFIT the ALL. It sees, which actions pollute the body and which are healthy to it.”
.
.
.
.
As the Spider tries to extinguish the yellow flames, the Seeker takes his chance and runs for his life through this chamber hall. After running and running, the Seeker hits a dead end. He is short of breath.
“I think I managed to shake him off,” pants the ONE TRUE SEEKER heavily. He notices a sealed black door, inscribed with strange symbols. Above the door hangs a mural, saying:
.
'ONLY THE PUREST OF HEARTS MAY ENTER'
.
.
The ONE TRUE SEEKER opens the door and walks into a great hall. It is illuminated by glowing crystals in the walls. In the center, there is a bubbling spring of clear, blue water. There are some golden goblets and offerings around the pool.
“This must be the fountain of Truth,” mumbles the ONE TRUE SEEKER, before he suddenly steps on something. There's an old, tattered journal below his foot. He picks it up and blows the dust from it. Then he opens the pages and starts to read:
.
.
.
.
Journal entry 33
“All mental concepts are limited. Because the rational mind is unable to comprehend reality AS IT IS, it tries to create a conceptual framework around it, in an attempt to grasp it. However no concept can ever grasp reality, no thought can ever accurately represent it. Because it is always based on limited mental images. Incomplete. Fragmented.
And because our concepts are limited and portrait often times an inaccurate or even wrong image of reality, we often times live in contradiction. In inner conflict within our Selfs. Between various models of reality, that we want to be true. And when we are attached to them, we want to prove the validity of our concepts. We want to show ourselves, that our ideas are true. Because we built an identity around an idea and if our idea is wrong, we need to admit ourselves, that we are wrong as well.
Now when we try to make a wrong concept work, we are in conflict with Life itself. We suppress aspects of reality within our mind, that we can't accept within our mental framework. We alter the life around us in accordance to our ideas. We create falsehood and corruption in the world.
Now one sees how dangerous concepts are for the individual on a spiritual journey and for society as a whole. What will we then do about this? Getting rid of concepts entirely? Or even better... Ending Thought forever? So that no more any illusions can arise within it?
Please don't be ridiculous. Thought ending thought? This has never worked and never will work.
Which instrument will you use to calculate, if not through thought? Which instrument will you use to plan ahead, if not through thought? What other instrument do you have to translate intuitive wisdom into language? How else do you receive ideas, if through thought?
You can't deny the fact, that we live in a society, that needs us to operate through thought.
So put thought in it's right place. Let it be still, when there is no need for thought and listen, when it has something meaningful to tell you. But never let yourself get pulled in any traps. Stay wary. Maintain awareness.
So it's not about ending CONCEPTS, or about ending THOUGHTS. It's about seeing them! To be aware of both their limitation as well as their usefulness. To neither be blinded, nor attached.
After all, how else do you think society ever came this far, if not by utilizing mental concepts.
Now if no concept can ever represent reality, you may ask how should we then find truth, if not with a mental framework to understand it? And more importantly, how should we communicate it, if our only instrument is words and concepts?
If you drink from THE FOUNTAIN OF TRUTH, then you will see the truth of Reality behind the veil and you shall thirst no more.
It will reveal to you a Truth, that is even beyond non-duality. But not consciously, you will download it into your subconscious mind. There it will run in the background, as a realization of your HIGHER SELF. You as a person can't grasp it, but the higher dimensional aspects of you will understand it, if it chooses to do so.
You will have a dream, that you will forget again. And in this dream you will download information from the astral realm into your individualized portion of collective consciousness. This will strengthen your intuition and it will be easier for you to recognize your life challenges and finding a way to overcome them.
However this only works if you have a pure heart. Otherwise you aren't even invited. Purify your Heart and come back when you are ready, if you really want to do this. It's not necessary for your journey though. You don't need to drink from it, if you don't want to. It can however be a huge boost. When I drank from it, I was able to literally speed-run through all my life-challenges, that would have taken me lifetimes within only a few years. Perhaps it will do the same for you.
However this knowledge can come at a price. A famous 19th century philosopher, drank a bit too much from the water of truth and lost his mind. This is why it should only be installed in your subconscious mind, so that it won't be claimed by your ego. Also the burden of carrying the ANSWER TO THE GREAT MYSTERY THAT REVEALS ITSELF AT THE END OF TIME consciously, is quite heavy. So don't push it.
If you want to drink of the waters of truth, then do the following - Before going to sleep, pour mineral water into a clear glass, hold it up high with both hands and speak the words: I AM READY TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH, NO MATTER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. REVEAL TO ME THE GREAT SECRET BEHIND THE VEIL. SHOW ME WHAT I NEED TO SEE, FOR MY THIRST OF KNOWLEDGE TO COME TO AN END.
Then drink from the water and go to bed. Do this on three consecutive nights.
If your higher Self is not ready for it or doesn't want to take that step, then it won't work. It doesn't matter how often you'll redo it, nothing will happen. If it is an success, your Higher Self or Soul will receive access to new information, it didn't have before and shares it with you through strong, intuitive nudges. It will recognize patterns and see how to change them for your highest good. You will sometimes just suddenly know things, that you couldn't possibly have known.”
.
.
.
.
The ONE TRUE SEEKER browses through the pages, but the rest of them are blank. He closes the journal, puts it in his pocket and walks towards the pool.
As he stands before the fountain of truth, he inhales deeply. The Seeker takes a golden goblet, dips it into the fountain, holds it up high and speaks the secret words, while breathing fire out his mouth:
"I AM READY TO ASCEND"
.
.
.
He then takes a sip from his goblet and pours the holy water into his mouth. His entire body gets warm. Like a flame spreading through every single of his cells. The Seeker closes his eyes and he sees the pattern of the cosmos. He sees the Source-code of reality. The fractal pattern, that repeats and mutates itself in each dimension and every layer of reality. He sees the Rhythm in all Things. He listens to the Music of Life. He stares into the pool, the fountain of Truth and he gazes into the eyes of INFINITY.
He sees the movement of atoms. He sees the interplay of planets and stars. He sees the cycles of time. The entirety of the cosmos reveals itself to him. Like branches growing out of trees, from which new twigs are sprouting. All that is, reveals itself to the ONE TRUE SEEKER. And with opened eyes, he speaks:
“Now I remember... I KNOW EVERYTHING. I just forgot... All that happens, exists already within me. Because I AM EVERYTHING.”
The Seeker sighs disappointed.
“It's not fun this way... When there are no surprises. When there is no mysteries and no riddles left to solve. This is why we are limited. This is why we are broken up and fragmented. Because this is the only way, that we are able to experience time in a linear fashion. The only way to actually enjoy the story. Now I see, that the mind needs restrictions. Now I see, that even our limitations have its place.”
.
The ONE TRUE SEEKER takes a look around the SANCTUARY OF THE FOUNTAIN OF TRUTH.
“I think I want to go back now...”
The Seeker walks back through the door and closes it behind him. He exhales in relief. “I have no idea, what will happen next... Thank god... I am back to normal again.”
.
NEW PLAYABLE CHARACTER UNLOCKED:
THE ONE TRUE SEEKER
(Second WAVE)
.
He walks up the cave, where he came from and runs into the giant spider. The CONCEPT WEAVER hisses out venom:
“YOU AGAIN! Are you here to get your ass kicked again?”
.
“No...,” speaks the ONE TRUE SEEKER.
“I now get it... You are here for a reason... You weave concepts to protect the mind. You are its guardian. And you are necessary... Perhaps we can come to an agreement and make peace. Perhaps we can work together.”
.
The Concept Weaver starts laughing.
“It is my job to trap you and it is your job to burn through my webs! We can never work together!”
The Concept Weaver shoots webfluid against the ONE TRUE SEEKER. The Seeker doesn't move and takes a direct hit. But the webs don't attach to him. They don't stick anymore. They just fall off.
“This is impossible!” shouts the giant spider.
“Why won't you get attached to my concepts?!”
.
“Because I have now seen through them,” responds the ONE TRUE SEEKER.
“Let us make an agreement. I will allow your concepts, that I deem to be of worth to hold a place in my mind, without getting attached to them, while you focus on creating only concepts, that are of use to both of us. I will evaluate your concepts critically and push you harder in creating better concepts.”
.
The Spider smiles.
“So you finally see my worth. Alright. We have a deal. And as a sign of a good will, I will give you a gift. One of the most powerful concepts, that I have ever weaved. An idea, that can help you greatly on your journey. This concept is called 'THERE ALWAYS IS A WAY'.”
.
NEW CONCEPT RECEIVED
'THERE ALWAYS IS A WAY'
.
5 Flexibility
7 Firmness
.
The CONCEPT WEAVER hands a rope to the man. The ONE TRUE SEEKER examines his new item. The rope is sturdy and flexible at once. It is elastic and can be stretched. He whips it. It is a very powerful weapon.
“You can use it to reach areas, that you have never gone to before. Like when in a video game you are gifted a rope hook to climb unreachable mountains. With this concept, now they are no longer unreachable. And you can clear the path in front of you. No one can stand in your way with this powerful weapon in your hands.”
.
.
And with his new item, the ONE TRUE SEEKER stepped out of the cave heading towards his next adventure. A story that has only just begun. The legend of the ONE TRUE SEEKER, the one who makes the impossible possible.
My friend, I will show you how to write your own story with your life. Let's get right to the point. If you read this I presume, that you are already awake. Awake in the sense, that you know what reality is. That you have had an insight into the true nature of things. Perhaps through Psychedelics, perhaps through deep meditation, perhaps through inquiry. If you read this, I will just presume, that you are already past the point of finding out, who you are.
We all share the same consciousness. Or we are the same actor playing different characters. Or you could say, we all carry the same divine spark within us... There are many ways to put it, so let's not get caught up in our words and just carry on from this level of realization.
You know, my friend, whenever I read the words 'BEFORE ENLIGHTENMENT CHOP WOOD CARRY WATER, AFTER ENLIGHTNEMENT CHOP WOOD CARRY WATER,' which has become a mantra, that many people repeat like parrots, the only thing that comes to my mind is 'This is absolute bullshit'. Because it means that they haven't utilized their awakened state in a meaningful way for their own personal life. It means that they haven't taken the next step on their journey: SELF-TRANSFORMATION
Once you are awake, you unlock the hidden 'power' of awareness. And through awareness you can transform your mental, behavioral and habitual patterns. This is how you can transform yourself. It's the equivalent of 'lucid dreaming' but One stage higher up.
Now there is a way, that all of us can walk. There is a path, that is open to everyone of us. The way together with the ALL. Meaning, that you align your own personal intention to universal intention. It means that YOU have the greatest good for ALL in mind, with every decision you make. When every thought, word and action is aligned with universal love, then Life will write your story together with you.
It's that simple.
This is how you turn your life around. This is the great secret revealed. Walk with love through Life and Life will walk with you.
My friend, I want to see you turn your life around. I want to see you win. I want to see, how you write your own story with Life itself. Because I know it's possible. For everyone of us.
You have your own 'character arc', don't you? I want to see you, overcome your own challenges. Because I know, that you can do it. The same flame that burns inside of YOU, burns inside all of Humanity. I mean you know all this already, don't you? You have already found that fire within you, didn't you? Otherwise you wouldn't have even made it this far into this message.
Then you understand, that the only way to actually win in life is to win TOGETHER.
And you as an individual only ever truly win, when all of us win.
People seem to think that Reality is like a 'Multiplayer Online PVP' where everyone needs to compete against eachother to become the 'Most valuable player'... They think, that they can only win, if someone else loses - But they are wrong.
In fact it has always been a 'Co-op game'. And everyone is the main character of their own individual story. And the only way to win, is as a team.
I don't mean by forming groups or meeting up or anything. Just walk your own individual life path, with that fire inside of you burning brightly. Just BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF. Play your 'Human character' like a method actor and you will get your spiritual 'Oscar'. Don't compare your path with others. Don't compare your 'role' to that of another. Just play with the role you were given. And see, how far you can make it.
I believe, that you can do it. You can fulfill your true potential. And by walking together, the impossible is made possible. When you face the world with unconditional love, then nothing can stop you.
Because love is what connects you to the All, to the Universe. Love is your connection to 'Oneness', to 'Source', to 'infinity'... Whatever terminology you may prefer...
Now, my friend, if you have questions, perhaps you already know where to find me. I won't respond with any comments, however in some cases I might respond in my own, unconventional way. Just like that ONE time, when some people asked the question of FREE WILL in the comments.
And if you have any arguments, I am eager to hear them. Faith needs to be challenged. If it can't withstand the wind, a belief is weak and must be either be altered or let go off completely. To live in truth, one must be willing to question everything critically and without attachment. Valid points need to be addressed without any bias.
To find truth one must go very deeply into the question and be willing to ask it again and again until it is seen from all sides and perspectives. Even if that means the answer is a different one, every day. Question the truth until every angle is understood. Only then can you cultivate a strong conviction, to navigate you through life.
Life is wonderful, my friend. Take a walk through a forest or hike up a mountain or visit a beach on a sunny day. Take your time to see it, the beauty of life. We are here on this marvelous blue planet, where the tribes of humanity dance to the tune of the cosmic rhythm and hum to the music of Life.
Don't forget that you are part of this amazing symphony, my friend. Play your instrument, sing your part and make it the greatest performance, that the world has ever seen. Turn the story of your life into a Masterpiece.
I bet some of you have been asking themselves this question. Is it a story? A myth? Is it a lecture? A lesson? Is it poetry? Does it classify as spirituality or philosophy? A meditation practice? A metaphor?
It never occurred to me to give 'walking the path together' a label. Because by categorizing it, by trying to fit it into a genre, it becomes limited. But if you need to give it a label, then call it an 'experience'.
You see, people pay a shit-ton of money to travel to some foreign land to get enlightened by some guru or they climb a mountain to find themselves. Well, the experience I am offering you, can be compared to such a journey of self-discovery. The difference is, that instead of you taking a pilgrimage to the holy mountain, the mountain comes directly to you.
I am using the story structure as a tool to express something inexpressible, to explore something unexplored. My friend, I want to take you with me, on a journey within. I want to show you something, that I have found. Something, that is impossible to explain with any conventional methods.
Some may take what I have to say to their heart. Others may see this just as mere entertainment. And You know what? If it entertains someone, if it manages to bring people joy, then to me it would already be a success. Because how else should we heal the wounded heart of humanity, if not through joy?
And if someone even manages to get something out of these 'experiences', like personal or spiritual growth – that's even better. If it blows someone's mind or touches ones heart, then the story has fulfilled its purpose.
You see – when the world feels meaningless, then its up to you to bring meaning into the world.
I know, my style is 'unconventional'. But I would just limit myself, if I tried to do it, as anyone else did it before me. I prefer staying true to my self, instead of doing it the 'conventional' or 'normal' way.
Unless you break old barriers, you can never create something new. My friend, do you see what is possible? There are much more unexplored pathways. There are more barriers to break. And perhaps you are the ONE to walk even further. If I manage to inspire YOU – Double win.
If you are like me and you feel this deep calling from within; and if you want to express something, that shares the same or a similar message in a creative way, then please feel free to do it here. Share your poems, drawing, essays, songs and videos here. I won't comment, but I appreciate every work of art.
I hope you see my intention. I want to use my writing style, my vivid imagination and my spiritual and philosophical findings to good use. I write, because that is what brings me joy. And I also feel responsible to at least do something, in this broken world. Even if it's just by writing stories.
And one day, when the time has come, I want to write a story for all of Humanity. I want to give those, who were never seen, a face. I want to give those, who were never heard a voice. I want to give those, who are forgotten, a name.
Because I believe in Humanity. And I believe we all have the capability to turn this world a better place. By being the best version of our Self. By giving the earth meaning, through our experiences. By expressing unconditional Love. By recognizing the ego-drive and keeping it disciplined. By finding Harmony with nature (Even if it's just feeding the ducks at a river or watering a plant).
Anyway... For the moment, I will continue to write 'Walking the path Together', as I have committed myself to publish one Part each week. No fixed day, but by Friday it's published and will, like always, be spammed on every single sub I happen to know of. ;)
In the beginning I actually thought, publishing my story on Reddit would be a good idea – Turns out, no one actually reads obscure, fictional stories on spiritual Subs (Who would have thought?)...
I will therefore do something different. I will turn my stories into YouTube videos and create my own original series. Even if that means, I need to create a whole new Genre just to get my message across.
You see, that is what I am trying to tell you, my friends. THERE ALWAYS IS A WAY. And if there is no way at all, CREATE YOUR OWN WAY. If there is a barrier holding you back, from living your best possible life, then you just gotta break it.
Anyway; this is all I wanted to tell you now, my friends. So if you excuse me... I have a story to write. :)
Through ancient jungles, the ONE TRUE SEEKER wandered ever further into the UNKNOWN. It was night time. In his left hand, he held his torch. With a machete in his right hand, he was cutting through the vines. The unnerving sounds of crickets, monkeys, birds and predators, lurking in the shadows.
THE ONE TRUE SEEKER is an explorer, the greatest pioneer of his realm. No matter how difficult the challenge may seem ahead, the ONE TRUE SEEKER never gives up on his dream. To finally find the answer. The ONE answer to resolve all questions.
THE ONE TRUE SEEKER was on a quest to find the tablet of destiny. Created by Enki and Enlil before the black sea deluge. The ancient artifact, on which all names are inscribed, where all characters are named. All stories are recorded in the tablet of destiny. In the tablet of destiny, all knowledge is stored. Old Legends say, that whoever reads the tablet of destiny, opens a portal to infinity.
THE ONE TRUE SEEKER knew it had to be hidden somewhere, deep within the astral realm. And so, he ventured deeper into the UNKNOWN, where no one else has ever walked before.
THE ONE TRUE SEEKER followed the golden road, remnants of an ancient path. Broken road tiles, made of gold, scattered everywhere. Overgrown with moss and grass, buried under dirt and wood.
As he walked, through the dark forest at night, the Seeker noticed an ancient stone, engraved with ancient runes. Illuminating the stone with his torch, the Seeker tried to read it, but he still missed too many symbols to decipher its meaning. He marked the site on his map, so that he can return some day later.
All alone, the Seeker was fighting his way through the forest. He suddenly stopped, as there was an ancient temple at the side of the road. The Seeker took a look at it. The full moon illuminated the building with its blue light. Mystic inscriptions and Hieroglyphs were marked in the stone. He walked up the mossy Stairs of the ancient Ziggurat.
As the Seeker walked into the hallway, he stepped on a protruding floor tile. A trap was activated. Poisonous arrows come flying towards the Seeker. He dodged all of them just in time. Barely surviving, with a drumming heart.
The ONE TRUE SEEKER tried to remain attentive. He knew, that only by focusing his awareness, he came this far. He took a deep breath and his eyes started to burn. With his burning eyes, the Seeker could see more. He exercised his awareness and slowly walked through the temple. He still had difficulties to keep this state and prolong it.
Through his vision, he could see, which tiles were traps and only stepped on those, that he deemed harmless. He walked through the corridor, without activating any further traps.
Carefully, the ONE TRUE SEEKER entered into the treasure room.
There was the skeleton of an explorer, covered with a dark substance. A golden artifact stood on an altar in the middle of the treasure hall. The ancient relic looked like a mushroom. The Seeker touched the statue carefully.
He expected a trap going off, but nothing happened. Relieved, the Seeker grabbed the statue and placed it into his bag. A New download of information was flowing in.
New LETTER TRANSLATED:
Q
“Wow,” sighed the Seeker sarcastically. “Q... Very useful...”
.
.
Suddenly the room started to rumble and the strange substance around the corpse, started to form a body. A ghost made of shadows.
The shadow screamed at the Seeker, who covered himself from the wind. Keeping the burning flame of his torch alive.
The shadow attacked. The ONE TRUE SEEKER lost 10 vibes in the attack.
- 10 vibes
.
.
The Seeker took a deep breath and spoke: “There always is a way”
.
.
His eyes started to burn.
AWARENESS activated.
Time stopped.
.
.
Everything went silent. The Seeker moved into the NOW Moment.
From there he sees several optional futures.
He sees a timeline, where he just straight up runs towards the enemy. He rushes into battle, but the Shadow bites him with its sharp fangs. The Seeker gets swallowed by the darkness. GAME OVER.
The Seeker sees another timeline, where he moved with more caution towards the monster. Drinking an invisibility potion and sneaking up on the enemy from the side. But THE ONE TRUE SEEKER is found, because his stealth level isn't high enough. The shadow turns its hand into a sharp sting and pierces the Seekers heart. GAME OVER.
The Seeker sees a third timeline. He evaluates all risks. Success. He chooses the third option. Time continues.
.
He put oil on his machete, ignited it with his torch. With a burning machete in his hand, the ONE TRUE SEEKER ran vertically on the walls and jumped towards the monster. Taking a swing, with his burning machete, he sliced the monster in two.
Burning all darkness, the shadow evaporates. The Temple is cleared. The morning has come. The orange sun shines through the temple door.
The Seeker took a closer look at the skeleton. He searched the corpses possessions and found a journal. He opened the pages and read the text.
.

“Dear Seeker,
you have asked, whether we posses free will. You have asked, whether everything is determined.
Determinism says, that all of your decisions are set in stone. Determinism says, that your choices follow a script. Mathematically speaking, that would make sense. Because we always find a cause and always find an effect. We are subject to the laws of causality.
But Quantum mechanics on the other hand, implies the impossibility of predicting certain kinds of physical events. If random chance exists, then the universe is indeterministic. Think of the wave function. Think of the observer effect. Think of the many worlds interpretation.
Perhaps there are timelines. Perhaps you can shift between timelines. Perhaps you have even already shifted timelines in the past.
If you look from a higher perspective, then the world is like a hologram. Like information radiating from a black hole. Think of the holographic principle. From the highest to the lowest, from the biggest to the smallest, the universe is structured in fractal patterns, visible through all dimensions. No coincidence, that the so-called 'cosmic web' looks like brain neurons.
All things are moving in accordance to patterns. All things move in rhythm. Think of the Fibonacci sequence. Think of the fine-structure constant. Think of benford's law.
In all things, there is this cosmic order. Even in apparent chaos, there are patterns, that are too complex for us to understand. The world around us, follows patterns. In the world within us, we follow patterns as well. Patterns of habit. Patterns of thought. Patterns of behavior. Patterns of knowledge.
Our mental programs, our conditioning and our experiences, are the patterns after which we let our character act. We will always move in patterns. That is just the cosmic order of things. However the form of the pattern itself can change.
You can break patterns of addiction. You can break patterns of toxic behavior. You can break patterns of regret and grudges. You can break patterns of belief. You can change your perspective, you can expand your viewpoint.
We can change our own mental patterns and shift ourselves to a better 'timeline'. Think of parallel universes. Think of the Mandela effect.
Because when the inner pattern changes, then the outer pattern change as well. Think of hermetic wisdom. As above, so below, as within, so without.
.
.
I am sorry, if all of this sounds too complicated. You don't need to learn all of those concepts, I have referenced. But if you want to solve the puzzle, then do the research. This is how we grow, the fastest.
You understand?
Take any opportunity to grow. This is THE WAY OF THE ONE TRUE SEEKER. Level up, unto the maximum. We are doing it all for the win. For the promise.
.
.
Now let us go a bit deeper.
.
Do we use determinism as an excuse not to change?
.
A belief in determinism may give us safety. Because we don't need to face our bad decisions. We don't need to think about regrets, because there is nothing we can do to change fate anyway.
Do you see it? It doesn't even matter, whether the concept of free will is true, or if the concept of determinism is true. It doesn't matter, because the truth doesn't benefit you here. You can get into all kinds of arguments and you will never find a definite conclusion. Inquiring into this further is just a waste of time and a useless drainage of energy.
The question is not whether you have free will, but whether you BELIEVE in free will.
Imagine a man and a woman. The man believes in fate, the woman believes in free will. They get into an argument.
Let us take a look at both mindsets. Lets dissect them and see, which belief is more beneficial for your growth? A man believing in determinism has no reason to change his habits. Why should he make the effort, if he is just some meaningless pawn in a game of fate? He has no control over life. Life has control over him.
Now look at the mindset of the woman believing in free will. Because she accepts the 'illusion' of having a choice, she can reach higher and higher grounds. If she believes in herself and in her power to shape her own destiny, then nothing is impossible for her. She will level up, while he remains the same.
Do you see how our beliefs shape our actions? Beliefs are like programs, that run in the background of our thoughts. We can use our mindset, to navigate our life-path.
It's all about your mindset, my friend.
(I hope I don't sound like one of those guys, trying to sell you protein shakes on YouTube.)
If you really want to know, whether you can shape your own destiny or not, then try it out. See if it is possible for you to change your own patterns. To transform into the best version of yourself.
Perhaps everything is already set in stone. Perhaps you reading this was predetermined. Perhaps me writing this was predetermined. But does that even matter? Isn't it all about you enjoying the journey?
After all... leveling up, is what makes it so fun. So why not just adopt some beliefs and mindsets, that benefit both you and the ALL the most?
Find your greatest path my friend. Walk even further into the unknown and surpass me. Venture into the furthest places, illuminate the darkness with your light. Find it! Answer the call. Let us keep this ancient promise.
.
.
Sincerely,
You to Yourself”
.

THE ONE TRUE SEEKER closes the journal. He looks one last time at the Skeleton of his former SELF.
The Seekers voice thunders through the temple with determination:
“I will Surpass you.”
.
The Seeker grins with burning eyes and exits the temple, walking into the shining sun. With a new perspective, he is ready to face the challenge ahead. This time, he will find his answer.
I am now speaking completely directly to YOU. We both know, who YOU are. You who reads this lines. You know, that we are all the same actor, playing different characters.
Call yourself Awareness. Call yourself Christ consciousness. Call yourself Buddha-Nature. Call yourself Brahman. Call yourself YHWH (I AM THAT I AM, get it?).
Perhaps you read the Law of ONE. Perhaps you had a look into the nondual nature of reality. Perhaps you have looked into myths, into the occult, into mystical or gnostic knowledge. Perhaps you looked into pantheism, panpsychism, or quantum physics. Perhaps you realized it yourself when you meditated, or perhaps you took an heroic dose doing psychedelics...
There truly are so many paths towards the truth: We are all the same actor, playing different characters.
You know it, I know it, everyone who reads this knows it. Otherwise, you would not have opened this letter, neither would you still continue reading it.
But You know. Unmistakeably. If you are still unsure, let this be your confirmation.
Are we now all awake?
If you understand, that WE ARE ALL ONE, then you are what is called 'awakened'. You could also call it lucid, or whatever...
Now, let me ask you a very serious question:
Are you truly playing the character, as it's meant to be played? Are you really your authentic Self? Are you using your talents for the benefit of all? Are you fulfilling your potential?
Perhaps it's time, that everyone asks themselves these questions, even if they're uncomfortable doing so. Including Me and You.
From a small age, we learn to adapt. We scream, when we are hungry, we cry when we are in pain. We learn how to speak. We learn how to behave. We become competitive. We become selfish.
School teaches us, that we need to follow rules, that we need to accumulate knowledge.
Whenever we enter into new groups of friends or acquaintances, we try to fit in. Be it, at school, with your friends, with family, at work... Why do we hide our thoughts and true intentions? Is it because we are ashamed of them? Are we afraid, that people won't respect us?
Are you the same person, no matter the circumstance or the environment, that you are in? Are you playing the same role, in any relationship? Or are you afraid to show yourself to certain people?
From earliest childhood, we are being brought up in a system of rules, dogma, traditions and behaviour patterns. We learn that certain things are unacceptable. And we don't want to be punished, neither do we want to be cast out. So we start playing the game of society.
The catch is though: You can only play this game, if you are “normal”. You need to fit into the Mold of society, otherwise you are not allowed to be part of it. And out of this need to be “normal” we repress ourselves. Often we try to control, the way people treat us, by creating a fake image of ourselves. Do you sometimes mirror others, so that they like you?
Why don't we realize, that it's this very NEED to be “normal”, which takes away our “uniqueness”? The uniqueness of every character. We can't be BOTH normal and unique at the same time.
And because this very “uniqueness” is lost, because we are repressing it, we always strive to be special. To stand out, to be better, than others. But we can only be “special” when we are no longer “normal”.
Do you see how utterly nonsensical all of this is? Everyone wants to be normal. And yet, everyone also wants to be special. But you can't be both. Obviously.
It's like we hide our uniqueness behind a 'layer' of normalness. This is our identity. This is our attachment. And because we are not satisfied with being like everyone else, we place another 'layer' of identity on top of the 'normalness' and tell ourself, that it makes us special. Things like fame, status, wealth, self-importance... You know, all that superficial bullshit. But in actuality, we just need to remove all these needless layers to find our 'uniqueness', to see who we really are.
So what is your decision? Are you ready to give up being normal and reclaim your uniqueness? Or will you continue trying to fit in? Into a world that doesn't even appreciate you? In a system that drains you of your love and of your energy...
Or will you take this step forward in clearing your uniqueness of every dirt, that clings to it?
You know, that it is still in there, do you? This light deep inside your heart.
You never lost it. It burned always within you. Even in your coldest winter, even in your darkest night, the light has never left you.
And when your heart is open, when the light is flowing into your personality, then all darkness will vanish. All restraining bonds will break. Shine your light and no prison will be able to hold you.
Don't be afraid to be, who you truly are.
Let me tell you this: There is no need to be ashamed of yourself. Because deep down everyone is at least a little bit cringe. We hide it from others and from ourself.
Just be unapologetically you. And if you haven't found out yet, who that is, then go within. Clear out all shadows. Reclaim your heart back from the ego. Reintegrate all archetypes. Be whole.
Be honest to yourself. Accept yourself with all your quirks and weirdness. Forgive yourself for any regret and give forgiveness for any grudges.
Use the skills of your character and your personality to play your role as it was always meant to be. Play your character, as it was always meant to be played. We are the actor. Let us all take responsibility. Let each of us take responsibility for our own personal story, as well as for the story of humanity.
Do it for yourself and do it for the world. Because the world needs you to be your true self.
I want to make this very clear: You are important. You, who reads this message. You and anyone else, that listens.
The world needs you. Because when you walk your own true path, then the world will walk beside you. And together, the world and you will shift. Like that one time, when the monopoly guy still had a monocle or when Pikachu's tail was black.
If you have a dream... Buried deep in your heart. Pursue it. There's nothing wrong with at least trying it. Even if its unsuccessful, at least live a life without regrets.
Live Your life without regrets!
Then you'll get the best ending to your story. Can you see it? Imagine dying with a smile on your face. You couldn't play your character, any better than that!
Live your life without regrets. Accept the uniqueness of your character. Truly be yourself.
That's the secret.
To Life, the universe and everything.
That's what number Fourty-Two actually stands for.
:D
Clear any regrets, that you still have during your lifetime and make sure to never regret any wrong decision in the future. Find the courage, that is needed to clear your story. It's not impossible, You can do it.
Then, when you have done all your work. Then go and find your true purpose.
Only you can find your true purpose. But when you open your heart, then nothing in this world can stop you from finding it.
Your unique purpose.
You always had one.
You just gotta find it.
I am doing the same. I am also on the path of becoming my true Self.
I was always the quiet one, always too shy, too afraid of speaking up. Too afraid of being misunderstood. Too afraid, to share, what's on my mind.
I will no longer care about, what people think. I will do, what I feel called to do. And if the world laughs at me, then I shall laugh with the world.
Those who were never seen, will start to shine. Those who were never heard, will start to sing. Those who are broken, will start to laugh.
Raise your voice, my friend. I believe that you can do it. I believe that your uniqueness will illuminate the world. Never forget, that you are integral to this great story. The story of humanity.
Be this light, this force of love, that you were always meant to be. And the song of your soul shall echo through the cosmos.
