Weblog von Hans-Wolfgang

If you have already concluded, your conclusion will become a barrier. It will not allow you inquiry – your conclusion will become a blindfold. It will not allow you to see the truth – your investment will be in the conclusion. You will distort reality to fit your conclusion. That’s what has been done up to now. The man of tao is not a Hindu, is not a Mohammedan, is not a Christian, is not a communist. The man of tao does not know all these ’isms’. The  man of tao  is simply an opening, a window to reality. He allows reality as it is. He does not project his own mind upon it. He does not use reality as a screen. His eyes area vailable; they  are not full of ideas. The man of tao does not live out of belief, he simply lives. And remember, only those who can simply live, without belief, come to know what truth is.  The believer or the disbeliever never come to know what truth is. Their beliefs are too heavy on their minds. They are surrounded too much by their belief systems. The man of tao does not know any belief system. He does not carry scriptures in his head, he  carries only alertness and awareness. He is meditative. He watches, he observes, he sees, he  lives, and he allows all kinds of experiences. He is available, he is multi dimensional. Man lives out of fear. His god is nothing but a creation out of fear. His temples, mosques, synagogues, churches – they are all out of fear. He is trembling, he is afraid. The man of tao lives out of love, not out of fear, because fear serves death, love serves life. And if you live out of fear you will never know what life is, you will only know death again and again. And remember, the person who lives out of fear creates all kinds of situations in which he has to feel more and more fear. Your fear creates situations, just as your love creates situations. If you love, you will find so many occasions to be loving. If you are afraid, you will find so many occasions to be afraid. Love is the taste of the taoistic consciousness. Because fear is the taste of the collective consciousness it creates wars. In three thousand years man has fought five thousand wars – as if we have not been doing anything else – continuous fighting somewhere or other. This is a very mad state of affairs. Humanity’s past is insane. The man of tao has become discontinuous with this insane past. He believes in love, not in war. He believes in life, not in death. He is creative, not destructive. His science, his art – all serves creativity. He does not create bombs. He is not political, because politics is out of hatred.
