New Posts in my German Blog

As I said I would “interlink” my two “main” blogs, here is a short overview over the articles in my German blog written this year:

There has been one poem, which you hopefully enjoy. (Of course, I have written many more, but mostly not published at the time of writing this) – although there are a few further verses in my Twitter account in case you have access.

If you are interested in learning a foreign language, you may (or may not, depending on your opinion or perspective in the respective matter and your flexibility) find my article about whether one should use another language than the one taught in language classes interesting.

Furthermore, there are two articles relating to the legal and political situation in Germany in particularly the past two years, with which a considerable part of society might not agree, though. I have written them more to make a statement, perhaps especially for myself as I am not sure whether there are not times where one ought to say something (but, of course, True Silence and Being is always essential, so I am not sure whether I did well to publish them), I guess, and to free myself of the respective thoughts. If you should be interested in them nevertheless, just have a look in the archives for 2022 in my German blog to find them, if you feel it could be good to do so.

And now: Come well into the next year, and may it bring peace again in Europe, and Peace to the world!

Recent Posts on my German Blog (Power, Structures, Walking Your Path)

With only a few more days of the year in which I have written this left, and in the light of the assumption that there is a possibility that I might neither post here nor on my German blog for quite a while, and as I had written a while ago that I would point out articles in one language in the other, I would simply like to quickly name those recent articles on my German blog to which I have not linked here yet.

These are:

  • A poetical article about the power we have, perhaps even, essentially, are and a reminder, therefore, about the power of our thougths.
  • An article about (the search for) structures and their or its potential abuse (or perhaps even the erroneous interpretation of something as a structure interpreted in a certain sense)
  • A poem which might help those who are marginalised by the opinions expressed most loudly and prominently in the society or environment they live in.

Hope despite all insanity

If we look through history, wondering whether the insanity of the ego1 we find expressed in wars and cruelties around the globe has receded over time, we may find that, despite all progress that has been made, it has killed more people than ever before during the 20th century, and one might not wish to say at all, that e. g. 2020 and the first part of 2021 has not been quite crazy, be it in the U.S., be it in the whole world. 

On the other hand, there has been a lasting peace within many first world countries for quite a while now, so outer conditions, in some places, despite occasional outbreaks, have improved.

And yet, the ego has lingered on, working e.g. through mental and political division, fear and even, perhaps, rules and regulations that keep the outer peace in place.

True Peace, of course, is to be found within and a precondition for acheving true and lasting outer peace on the whole, too. (See the last part of my thesis for further explanations and references.)

In looking at this, what can be our perspective? Is there a reason for hope? 

Each time brings with challenges also opportunities.

And I would like to think that the more “civilised” clothing ego and insanity wear at least in more modern countries, if regarded on the whole, has offered us a vaster opportunity to educate ourselves about methods how to look through the illusion and dissolve it. We have had wisdom and teachers in the past, too, and yet we can be (mostly2) unafraid today when discussing these topics with others or buying a spiritual book in the book store.

And because of modern technology and the interconnectedness around the globe, we have access to so many streams of wisdom. We have Eckhart who speaks with such clarity, we have easy access to such a lot of spiritual scriptures around the world, can e. g. download Max Müller’s huge edition “Sacred Books of the East” onto our hard disk or even speak to healers and spiritual teachers online… talk to each other and thus know that there are so many who aim for realisation, whether they live close to us or not.

If we look at that, we have a great opportunity for change, and if we use it successfully, it will weigh so much more than any insanity handed down into this time. Thousand years of darkness can end in an instant of sunlight.

Annotations
 
(1) I am using the term here as described in Eckhart Tolle‘s work.
 
(2) Fear, of course, is problematic. But e.g. when looking for a job, does HR have to be able to see prominently one’s (if we have one, I do not ; ) ) Facebook profile that one is “into” chanting Mantras in orange clothes each weekend?
 
Well, actually I have not been sure. I propagate openly what I believe, and yet have, for a long time, taken care that the first results you will find in Google are not directly my esoteric and spiritual beliefs and activities. So unless a potential employer really starts sifting through everything and following every lead (then he will find this bog, too), what he will see at a first glance are that I am a jurist, have published my dissertation and perhaps a link to my website offering poetry. From there, yes, he will find what is important to me. But how many of potential employers will take that time? So for me, it seems (!?) to have worked so far. It may still a certain potential risk, but one, I am willing to take. I do hope, though, that understanding for spiritual matters beyond church believes has risen in society over the last decades. 
 
It all depends, of course, on what you want to or need to do in life. It is fine, I believe, to be careful. I would never suggest to deny your beliefs, but one does not needlessly have to tell everyone everything. I can drink beer and post it on Facebook (well, I do not), and I can drink beer without posting it. What is wiser? No need to always show what one does. In that sense: Some may still wish to check before speaking, or, of course, simply directly speak from STILLNESS or the ONE, for, then, hopefully, it will be the optimum, whatever one says. Otherwise and generally: follow your intuition?
 
 
 
 
 

Truth, Attraction and Conspiracy

Posted on by

I have written two new articles for my German blog.

One offers a brief overview over factors influencing the perception of truth, particularly on the basis of suggestions, energetic and psycho-energetic fields and links and Jungian archetypes and their influence on what one thinks or believes, be it consciously or subconsciously. (Interestingly, the term “Glaubenssätze”, which I have used there in German, seems to be astonishingly difficult to translate, see this discussion, if you are interested.) You can read it here, and if you do not understand German, maybe Deepl can help.

The other article has a look at the deeper meaning or function of conspiracy theories and tries to establish that, whether you may adhere to them or object to them or even just might consider them “ridiculous” – or, perhaps a bit wiser [and if you doubt that, you might definitely want to read the article], decide according to each case -, it would be unwise to ignore them. It is recommended, instead, to look for where they come from and how that can help to create a better world. You can find it here; sentences may be worded a bit complex, and I am not entirely sure whether a translation tool will always really give you the meaning (though they may, I have not checked), but you can always try.
