Die Qualität des Kreises liegt weder in dem weißen Fisch (Yang) noch in dem schwarzen Fisch (Yin). Erst durch ihr gegenseitiges Zusammenwirken entsteht der Kreis und damit eine "übersummative Qualität", eine Ganzheit, die mehr und etwas anderes ist als die Summe ihrer Teile. Treffend sagt man auch, Tai Chi sei die Mutter von Yin und Yang, eine Einheit, die über das logische Denken hinausgeht. Deshalb kann man auch nicht viel mehr darüber sagen, denn sonst wäre es ja nicht "eine Ebene höher"!

Tantra sex has to be understood. A few things: The Tantric definition of sexuality is opposite to the modern definition. The modern mind regards sex as a need -- like hunger for food -- which incidentally provides sense-and ego-gratification. That's how Freud thinks about sex, that it gives you ego-gratification, satisfaction, relaxation; it relieves tensions, it is a need. Tantra regards sex as a powerful instinctual return to our ultimate reality, one of the highest forms of meditation. Freud does not understand sex' ultimate depth. Freud has only looked into the repressed sexuality of man. What christianity has done in the West, the wrong, Freud was trying to put it right. But Christianity remains superficial and Freud remains superficial. Why? Because the cure cannot go deeper than the disease. The disease was superficial, the cure cannot be deeper than that. Tantra does not define sex as a need -- it is not. A man can live without sex, it is not a need. Not like food -- you cannot survive without food. It is not like thirst -- you cannot survive without water. But you can survive easily without sex -- maybe you can survive longer. Sex is not a need like food or thirst or hunger. Sex has a definitely total dimension, a different dimension altogether. It is a way to contact the ultimate reality. It is an urge to move to the original source. In ordinary sex it happens only for moments. Even that is rare, because there are very few orgasmic persons left in the world. People have become so much civilized that to be orgasmic seems impossible. A civilized person cannot be orgasmic because he cannot allow himself to be wild. Only a wild person can be orgasmic, because orgasm is wild. The better you are civilized, the better you are cultured, sophisticated, educated, the less is the possibility for you to be orgasmic. Then sex is just a relief. It is like sneezing, nothing much. It is sheer wastage. You accumulate energy and you don't know what to do with your energy. And the energy becomes heavy on you, it has to be thrown out in some way or other. So you go on throwing the energy. But you have lost the language of orgasm. What is the language of orgasm? If you are really orgasmic you will groan and moan and shout and sing and pray, and a thousand and one things will happen when you are making love to your woman or to your man. It is going to be a mad thing. And that is difficult in a civilized world. The whole neighbourhood will know that now you are making love. And people will start phoning the police-station that there is danger, one person has gone orgasmic. Yes, you will dance, you will sing, you will utter incoherent sounds, gibberish will come. One never knows what will happen because you lose control. To be orgasmic means the capacity to lose control. The constant control is there, you are simply sitting on your energies controlling them -- 'This should be, this should not be. This is right, that is wrong.' You are continuously doing that, inhibiting, repressing. Only go so far, beyond that is danger, only this much is allowed. How can you be orgasmic?

If Jesus is planning to come back he should be aware of the situation. This time they won't kill you, they will keep you alive, but they will inject you with chemicals, they will give you electric shocks, insulin shocks, and if you are still dangerous they will give you tranquilizers, they will make you very very sleepy. They can force you to live almost in a coma, to vegetate, which will be far more ugly than to crucify a man. When you crucify a man you cannot humiliate him. He can keep his pride, he can keep his head high: "Okay, you crucify me, so you crucify me -- but you are not forcing me to change my spirit or my ideas or my vision of life. I am ready to sacrifice." One can die with dignity -- Socrates died with dignity, Jesus died with dignity -- but in Soviet Russia, if Socrates were born, or Jesus, or Buddha, no dignity would have been available. In fact nobody would ever have heard about them. They would have been forced to live in a mental asylum. Doctors would have taken care of them, and nobody would ever have heard what they wanted to say, what their message was.

Two Russian workers were walking along side by side. Their heads were bent low and their faces were sad and drawn. They were not talking to each other. Suddenly one of the Russians spat on the ground and the other immediately did the same. "That's enough!" said one to the other. "If we continue, they will think we are discussing politics."

Another story:

In Russia the communists were conducting a purge. An old gypsy was brought before the commissar. "How long," asked the commissar, "have you been in the party?"

"Many years, commissar."

"And your father?"

"Ah, he was a member too, and my grandfather and my great-grandfather."

"Now listen," said the commissar dubiously, "back in those days there was no party."

"Ah, that didn't make any difference," replied the gypsy. "We were stealing anyway!"

Communism is a violent, forced state of affairs. It is transforming the whole country into a concentration camp. It is not allowing people any freedom to be themselves; it is reducing them into numbers. It is destructive of individuality -- and taoism is all for individuality and the freedom of the individual, because if the freedom of the individual disappears, then there is no possibility of inquiring into the reality of Tao. And that is the whole purpose of life. The real destiny of life can only be fulfilled when you know that Tao is, within and without. Tao is your consciousness and Tao is this universe.

Bis zu 3.000 Menschen standen schon an den Behandlungstagen in diesem kleinen brasilianischen Dorf Schlange. Sie alle wollten sich von dem einfachen Mann ohne Medizinabschluss behandeln lassen. João kommuniziert nicht nur mit geistigen Wesen, er lässt für die Heilaufgabe eine von 33 Wesenheiten die Kontrolle über seinem Körper übernehmen, wird buchstäblich von diesen "überschattet". Während dies geschieht, verliert er sein Bewusstsein und erwacht danach ohne jede Erinnerung an das Geschehene. Diese Wesen waren früher alle bemerkenswerte Leute - Doktoren, Chirurgen, Heiler, Psychologen, Theologen. Überschattet von ihnen wird sein Körper benutzt, um physische oder unsichtbare Operationen durchzuführen. Die physische Operation erfolgt mittels Skalpell und ohne Betäubungsmittel. Bei den Schnitten fließt kaum Blut, die Patienten spüren fast nichts; alle Operationen werden auf Video aufgezeichnet. Die unsichtbaren Operationen werden in einem Meditationsraum durchgeführt. Dort sitzen an die zwölf weitere Heilmedien. Auch die Patienten sitzen in Bänken in Meditation. Ein Medium erklärt leise die Prozedur. Zweimal täglich betritt João "überschattet" den Raum und verkündet: "Im Namen Jesus Christus, ihr seid alle geheilt." Zu diesem Zeitpunkt sind alle notwendigen Operationen innerlich abgeschlossen. Wissenschaftler wollen im Anschluss durch Röntgenaufnahmen innerliche Schnitte und Nähte ausfindig gemacht haben. Den Operationen geht eine öffentliche Konsultation bei João voraus. Die Menschen warten darauf in einer endlosen Schlange. Diese windet sich vorn durch einen Raum, in dem 50 oder mehr Medien meditieren. Ihre Aufgabe ist, die Wartenden spirituell zu reinigen und so für das Zusammentreffen mit dem überschatteten João vorzubereiten. Im Moment des Aufeinandertreffens erfolgt ein blitzschnelles geistiges Scannen, wodurch Vorleben, Lebenssituation, Krankheit und spirituelles Gewahrsein des Patienten bestimmt werden, bevor die weitere Behandlung festgelegt wird. Beides dauert keine 20 Sekunden. Nahezu 50 Jahre leistet er nun schon in der "Casa de Dom Inácio", dem krankenhausähnlichen Heilzentrum in der Goiás-Hochebene, seinen aufopferungsvollen Dienst. "Er operiert und heilt mehr Leute an einem Tag als ein großes Krankenhaus in einem Monat." Geld hat er nie genommen, er erhielt aber mehr als ein Dutzend Auszeichnungen und Orden, musste allerdings auch Spott, Verfolgung und Einkerkerung ertragen. Von beeindruckenden Erfolgen beim Heilen von Aids, Krebs, Lähmung, Erblindung, Geisteskrankheiten, Asthma, Drogenabhängigkeit und Ähnlichem wird berichtet. Man sagt, seine Erfolgsquote liege bei 85 Prozent. Er wurde von Wissenschaftlern, die zu den besten der Welt gehören, geprüft und begutachtet. Zum Beispiel bestätigte unlängst der bekannte amerikanische Chirurg Dr. Mehmet Oz den Heilerfolg bei einem Patienten mit Gehirntumor mit den Worten: "Etwas stoppte den normalerweise sehr aggressiven Prozess."

Between two saints there is no possibility of any communication. Of course, there is a possibility of communion, but communion happens in silence, not through words.

Esoteric nonsense is so easy.

Buddha does not believe in any PARAMATMAN. Buddha believes in no God. Buddha is the most godly person and yet the most godless. He is one of the most beautiful phenomena that has happened on the earth: godless and godly together.

When you live out of borrowed things you are bound to be confused.

An old man lived with his old woman in a very cold little town in the interior of Brazil. It was a freezing cold morning and the old man came out of his house dressed only in the top of his pajamas.

When his neighbor saw him he could not help asking, "Eh, Jose, what are you doing naked outside?"

"Well, yesterday I came out without my scarf and when I returned home my neck was stiff from the cold."

"And what has that got to do with now?" inquired the neighbor.

"I don't know, Pablo. It was my wife's idea!"

Avoid others' ideas, otherwise you will look silly and you will behave silly! And don't be concerned with non-essentials.

A young boy and his Jewish grandmother were walking along the shore when a huge wave appeared out of nowhere, sweeping the child out to sea. The horrified woman fell to her knees, raised her eyes to the heavens and begged the Lord to return her beloved grandson. And lo! another wave reared up and deposited the stunned child on the sand before her.

The grandmother looked the boy over carefully; he was fine. But then she glared angrily up towards the heavens. "When we came," she snapped indignantly, "he had a hat!"

Avoid non-essentials. If you have got the child, why be worried about the cap? If the cap is lost, nothing is lost.
