HOW
TO BECOME WHAT YOU ARE (Friedrich Nietzsche in Ecce Homo) |
|
|
Every
nice
fairy
tale
ends
with the words: and they lived happily ever after until the end of
their
days
However
before gets that far the main figure has to perform difficult tasks, to
beat mighty opponents, find giants and seven-headed dragons on
his
path and encounter many dangers. As such everybody is the main figure
in
his own life. The missions you have to carry out to find the treasure
are
provided by life itself. The giants and dragons are your opinions, your
habits, your matters of course, your self-conceits, your interests,
traditions,
convictions and apparent certainties. And they resist stubbornly and
appear
unvincible, but it is possible. If you have beaten them you will never
see them again.
You have to
destroy
all
your sacred cows for they only stand in your way. Your most important
weapon
is absolute honsty, your ally the voice of your heart. Finally you will
find yourself and live happily until the end of your days.
People
have
learned
that pain and sorrow, troubles and problems, anguish and despair just
belong
to life. But they only belong to their way of life and if you want to
get
rid you have to change your life.Everything that is in your head you
have
learned, so everything can be unlearned. Dare to look at yourself
and be your own hero.
You
do not
need difficult
and thick books, no complicated words and notions, no exercises, no
courses,
no teachers or guru's. You are able to manage it yourself if only you
have
confidence in yourself. Honesty costs nothing.
Do
not
believe
the
theories
and
opninions
of
other people. The
only
thing
asked of you is to believe that if you live according to your
conscience
without any compromises you will finally awake from this wicked
dream
and will rise above suffering and sorrow. Only this belief will save
you.
To
live is so terribly simple but people make it so difficult and
complicated.
This
world, wrapped in
darkness, cries for a new Enlightenment. This time don't forget to
unmask science, this new clouding religion.

The
great
return
to
the
Promised
Land
(From our correspondent in heaven)
This
expedition is only
reserved
for people
who dare to believe in themselves. He who is not willing to question
his
certainties and his convictions cannot join and keeps his seat. He who
thinks he cannot change yet because he is just as he is, will never
start
and he who never starts never will arrive. He who believes he will
never
find the way out, will stay wandering in the labyrinth. He who believes
in progress can never follow the track back. He who believes he can
never
get rid of his luggage will carry his burden to the last gasp. He who
keeps
believing will never know but he who will seek faithfully will
find.
| The
only
guiding priciple
is:
Do
Not
do to others what
you do NOT want them to do to you
What
you
need further for
the quest:
- absolute
honesty
- righteousness
- courage
- perseverance
- self-criticism
- believe
in
yourself, firm as
a rock
What you
have
to give up:
- all
your
convictions
- all
your
apparent certainties
- all
your
self-conceit
- all
your
attachments
- all
your
power
- your
past
and future
The
award
is:
- invulnerability
- happiness
- health
- security
- self-knowledge
- a
life
without pain and sorrowt

What is Enlightenment?
"Enlightenment
is man's release
from his self-incurred tutelage. Tuttelage is man's inability to make
use
of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is
this
tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of
resolution
and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude!
"Have
courage to use your own reason!" that is the motto of Enlightenment.
Emanuel
Kant 1783

The
state
of
the
world
Quarrels
everywhere, hate, discord,solitude, depression, terror, misery and
pain,
uncertainty, despair, aggression, trouble and problems, blood, sweat
and
tears. Full hospitals and jails, alcoholics and drugs-addicts, civil
wars,
tortures, 500 million dollars for armament, in 2000 years 5000 wars.
600
million hungering, millions of refugees, roadvictims, epidemics of
cancer,
Aids, heart-diseases and V.D's. Murder and homicide, abortions,
suicides,
divorces, unemployment, handicapped. Yet people claim they are well of.
You need a lot of self-deceit to sustain that claim and it is annoying
you always keep the deceiver within.
Appearance
People
say
there are
so many good things in the world people say, but that is only one side
of the picture that cannot exist without the other side. Opposite to
all
achievements is decay and they are joined together indissolubly. Behind
the nice facade of the affluent society is world of misery. That is the
toll mankind pays for it's short-sightedness...In this split world
there
is no good without evil, no winners without losers, no pros without
cons,
no achievements without decay, no richness without poverty, no God
without
Devil, no future without past. If you want to get rid of evil, the
losers,
the cons, the decay, the poverty, the Devil and the past, you have to
get
rid of the so-called good, the pros, the achievement, the richness,
your
God and your future.
How
you
can
use
this
site
On
this
site there are some
sign-posts from people who preceded you, that will allow you to check
if
you are on the right track. You will first recognize them when you have
left your standpoint. You do not change your life with your head
but by living differently. He who thinks he is just as he is will die
just
as he lived. He who lives oppressed will die oppressed. He who cannot
let
lgo now, will hardly be able to do it then.
No man has the
right
to determine how an other has to live. Children
are people too!

Believing
is
not
knowing
for sure
People
believe in
the authority
of others that do not know for sure too for they got it from others as
far back as in dark past. What you believe is never proven, you cannot
see or experience it.So people believe in theories about genetics,
evolution
and progress. Nobody sees, nobody knows it but there are many
believers.
With all those believes people talk straight what is crooked, justify
their
unrighteousness, excuse their misdeeds with it, explain what they do
not
understand and continue om the road once taken. And when there is a
threat
that makes them get stuck they think up a new theory with new credulous
followers. He who refers to thoughts of an other, to thoughts of
generations
before him, he who builds on theories of others and borrows his seeming
certainties from what he believes, runs away from the responsibility of
his own chimeras and life. Still the specious inventions of all that
restless
and complicated minds, that ruled for millenia, indicate how people
should
live. Never man has listened to the simple, the children, the
righteous,
the illiterated and the powerless.
With
crooked
bricks, you
build a crooked wall, with ill people an ill society. A crooked wall
will
fit no straight bricks, an ill society will not fit healthy
people.
If you do
not
want to see
your children grow up in this ill and crazy society, if you want to
protect
them from all misery you encountered yourself already, if you do not
want
to see them make the same mistakes you made in your own life, if you do
not want to see them get into the same mist you are in yourself, if you
want them to stay as open-minded as they are now, in short, if you
really
love them, something really has to change. First improve yourself,
further
and further until you are ready and just then, when you will be with
many,
the world will change. If you are not willing to do that, if you think
that is impossible because the others tell you it is impossible, then
stay
were you are but do not lament if you are not happy. If you think that
is the way you are and it is impossible to change because the scholars
tell you it is in your genes, then abdicate the responsibility for your
misery on the others and the circumstances and wallow in your
self-pity.
If you think you reached the maximum attainable in your life, do not
complain
when you are not happy. |
About
this
site
The message
this
site holds
is surprising and hard to believe.You were always told that there is no
way back, that you have to continue on the way once taken, whether
you
like it or not, that it is impossible to fly, that your whole life is a
quest and yet you will never find, that there is no sense in asking why
for you still will get no answer, that you will never understand
yourself
and your god because you and your god are inscrutable and that you have
to resign yourself to it and you can only try to make the best of it.
And
so you did. You became a fellow player in the game you did not invent
the
rules for. You already sustained so many scars, you suffered pain and
misery,
but you thought it could not be done otherwise. Evidently, it is still
possible and there is a way out of this valley of tears. All things
have
been told so many times, but people never listened.
The
children
They
show
you what you ever
were. Open-minded, whole, natural, harmless, spontaneous, contented,
without
past and future, not hindered by any knowledge, honest and shameless.
And
look the way they get crumpled in the process people call education.
The
way they become childish grown ups, saddled with the uncomprehended
past
of their educators. Dishonest, caught in their convictions, driven by
their
will, discontented, unfree, unnatural, contradictory, internally
divided
and lost in this self created crazy society. Always the children are
the
victims, everywhere they go into the same mist their parents live in.
With
the best intentions they expel the children from their paradises and
they
do not know what they do.The only thing children can learn from their
parents
is the way it should not be. But no one ever listenedto them although
they
are the example of the original man and the way he should be.

always is at the expense of nature- nature always is at the expense of

A
---------X------------------
B
X
is the position of our culture. The larger part of nature is sacrificed
to production, achievements, interests, egoism, false needs and
properties. A
is a totally technologised earth, an illusion, wherein no nature would
be left, or a situation after a thirth world war, a barren
uninhabitable
earth. B could be named paradise, a
return
to the original state, wherein man lives in harmony with himself, his
fellow-men
and nature.
lt
is a radical back to nature
As long as
man is
somewhere
between A en B
he is wandering, submitted to contrarieties. When you quit the herd,
that
fights its life-and-dead struggle for own interests, property and
status
in X and enter the narrow path
full
of dangers on your way to B,
abandoning
all cultural luggage little by little, comparable to leaving Plato's
cave,
the ones staing behind will talk ill of you. At B
is the narrow gate you have to pass totally naked, without any interest
or prejudices. You first have to pay the last farthing. You have to
leave
the whole world behind, without any compromises

If the zero
and
the crosslet
are in the same place you are adapted to society decently and fit in
with
it exactly. The more you get rid of your prejudices, customs,
self-interest
and convictions the crosslet goes to the right. Finally you will fall
together
with you conscience, but you do not fit in with this unrighteous
society
no more. Everywhere around you you see people fighting to pull the
crosslet
to the right or to the left, the environment movements to the right the
planners to the left,their conscience to the right, frights to the
left,
love to the right, power to the left. An endless fight with victims
only.

The
Butterheads
Accusation
of
a
righteous
Manuscript
found in a bottle
Long
ago in a land far away from here all people had butter upon their heads
and everybody thought is was normal. There were people with creamery
butter,
spiced butter, semi butter and an innumerable other butter blends upon
their heads but everybody
only thought his own butter was the right. About that they quarreled,
fought
out wars and charged each other with heresy with many sharp witted
arguments.
It
was strange that all children being born there didn't have anything at
all upon their little heads and yet all those Butterheads thought that
was beautiful. Perhaps it did remind them of their own childhood, their
lost children's paradise they secretly longed for sometimes and yet
they
dreamed of a child that would grow up to a worthy and adapted member of
the Butterheads. For that purpose they soon started applying themselves
to fit the child's head with a suitable layer of butter.
But
once in that land there was an inhabitant who was not happy. He had
thought
much and long about his discomfort and finally arrived at the conlusion
it all was owing by his buttered
head undoubtedly. The only sensible solution he suggested was to part
with
his butter burden. His fellow countrymen warned him: don't do so risky,
adapt yourself, do
normally,
wihout
butter
you
are
nothing.
He
was resolutely and
persevered.
And look: the more he freed himself from his butter the more it dawned
upon him but the more lonesome became his struggle. Until one day, at
despair's
door, as by magic the last small remnant disappeared. Nowadays it is
said
the scales fell from his eyes. At that time he just really realized the
craziness of the world he lived in and the strange way his fellow
countrymen
behaved. He tried to talk about it. They laughed at him or got
angry.
To be not conspicious he did put butter upon his head again and played
the game but life of a unbuttered amidst butterheads is no picnic. The
thing that went to his heart at most were the children in whom he
recognized
so a lot and everywhere around him he saw them decaying unto
butterheads.
He became cautious as a snake and harmless as a dove and finally he
wrote
this short manual about the way to become from a butterhead man
again.
The
daily
news
Everyday
again
the newspaper
and television spit out the symptoms of this ill society over the
readers
and viewers. People note it and they return to the order of the day.
Exulting
at the achievements, indignant of all misery and not realizing the way
they are connected to each other indissolubly experts ventilate
their
opinions shamelessly. Many of them point out ill spots that have to be
fought, trot out solutions and point out the guilty. We need more rules
and punishments have to become harder. All the time more power to rule
this derailing society, all the time higher dikes to bridle the waters,
all the time more rules to keep the civilians in their proper places.
Complicated
people write complicated articles to solve complicated problems and the
confusion merely grows.
Man and
nature
cannot be
bridled and show it by bursting out of their artificial harnesses
everywhere
or languish. Is it not high time to finally remove the harness? |
Jorge
Luis Borges
In "The
Cult
of the Book"
Borges narrates about a parable of Nathaniel Hawthorne. "Therein
Hawthorne
foresees a moment when people decide, weary with senseless heaping up,
to destroy the past. Therefore they gather in one of the extent areas
in
the West of America on an early evening. From all remote places on
earth
people come to that plain. In the middle they build a gigantic funeral
pile and they feed it with all genealogical trees, with all diplomas,
with
all medals, with all decorations, with all warants, with all
scutcheons,
with all coronets, with all sceptres, with all tiaras, with all purple
coats, with all baldachins, with all thrones, with all alcoholics, with
all coffee-bags, with all tea-canisters, with all cigars, with all
loveletters,
with all artillery, with all swords, with all flags, with all
war-drums,
with all instruments of torture, with all guilllotines, with all
gallows, with all precious metals, with all money, with all
title-deeds,
with all constitutions and codes of law, with all mitres, with all
dalmaticas,
with all holy scriptures that populate and fatigue Earth nowadays.
Hawthorne
astonished and slightly shocked watches the burning; a man with a
thoughtful
appearance tells him that he needs not to be happy or sad as the huge
pyramid
of fire only consumes what is consumable in things. An other bystander-
the devil- remarks that the impresarios of the holocaust forgot to
throw
the essence on the pile, that is, the human heart that holds every evil
and that they only destroyed some shapes. Hawthorn concludes as
follows:
"The heart, that little unbounded sphere, matrix of the original sin,
of
which crime and misery areonly some symbols. Let us purify this
internal
sphere and the many shapes of evil that darken this visible world will
fly like phantasms , for if we only work with our reason using that
imperfect
instrument to better what is tormenting us, then all of our efforts
will
be a dream. Such an unreal dream that it does not matter if the stake
that
I described so faithfully is a so- called real datum, a fire that
scorches
our hand or a dreamed up fire, a parable".
This
website
is about
the purifying of that little sphere. Not the heart, as Borges writes,
but
the head. When you were a little child your head was still empty. No
opinions,
convictions, knowledge, beliefs, imposed requirements and values, false
needs, laws and precepts populated the brain yet. Nothing to lose and
therefore
no fear. Everything that is learned can be unlearned, so the beginning
will be as the end again. Everything mankind befouled its own nest, the
earth, with are merely products of false needs.
He who
trusts in
others does
not trusts himself. He who believes in others does not believe in
himself.
He who believes in theories cannot see clearly. He who pursues his
self-interest
does so at the expense of the common interest. He who tries to run with
the hare and hunts with the hounds, serving two masters, will keep
struggling
his whole life. It is all or nothing.
"I
know you are up there. I
can
feel you
now. I know that you are afraid. You are afraid of us. You are afraid
of
change. I do not know the future. I did not come here to tell you how
it
is going to end. I came here to tell you how it is going to begin. I am
going hang up this phone and then I am going to show this people what
you
do not want them to see. I am going to show them a world without you. A
world without rules and controls, without borders and boundaries. A
world
where anything is possible. Where we go from here is a choice I leave
to
you."

The

The Gospel of Thomas
with the elucidations of the secret words
It
is not for nothing that establishment has suppressed and destroyed the
Gospel of Thomas. Properly translated "Gospel" means "joyful message"
and
originally it was. It is humiliating what christianity did to that
joyful
message. It merely is a wisdom scripture showing a clear and simple way
to self-knowledge, holiness and a life without pains, frights and
sorrow.
It is the manual to become man again, but it requires a total
surrender,
honesty and righteousness.
