Here and now

There is something mysterious about being Here/Now. It is the only place of creation and power, and every moment of Now generates that what is hidden in our own human fields, created by desires, wishes, intents, ideas, the heart.

Every step of the way is forged only one second before in the living field of our human self and it becomes then an apparent life-movie. As we are, we create. As we create, we are.

Every person has a story in his body and mind, some of the stories are unconscious and seem to be run by a program. Other stories are very conscious and are run by the higher spirit of truth, the one that is the rightful owner of life. There is a deeper layer to life than just walking the earth, however it cannot be found on earth. It can be found when one becomes silent and still.

In the moment of stopping the outside, the Here/Now reveals a stillness that is of another quality, it does not speak, it does not move, however it fills the whole universe with essence. In that essence there is fulness, something that is not of this world.

Here/Now is a portal to something deep that cannot be named truly : it is the life of the no-life, going through the gate of no-gate, it is the noise of the no-noise. It is the middle point of two opposite forces...and then there is something else....

Silence - the space of truth

Being in Japan and visiting the Edo energy of the Samurai, a connection is being made with a silence that is very different from the silence one can talk about when travelling in another part of the world. Zen is the word that comes up here. Zen, the place of nothing, but not empty.

Here there is another stillness. The Japanese people are wired in a different way to their minds, and they live with much more stillness than anywhere else experienced. It is a bliss to walk in this country, although it is a mixture of robotica, automatisms and deep stillness and comprehension of the fields of emptiness. The human world is filled with work, activity, running to places and being polite. The world of stillness, once it is really found and felt, has a deep quality that reveals something mysterious.

It is not very easy to make one feel what this stillness generates. It is like the Zen Masters want to convey in the language of noise : the empty fullness, or, going through the gate of no-gate. Being in the mind of the no-mind. The stillness can only be reached when the noise has been put aside, when one slows down the motions, even the physical, and when one becomes very aware in the here-now space.

When one enters the space of true stillness, the silence becomes apparent with another type of message. It reveals a depth that is not of this world, yet is empowering this world. Ah, words are a mere reflection of what is meant. But a tree knows, and the rocks conveys the same message.

Connections and detachment

Our world is one of connections. Through connections we are bound - consciously and unconsciously – to a wide variety of things, places and people. All these connections influence our beingness, all of them. Some make us feel good, other bad, others influence us without knowing.

The setting of the houses has an influence, what you eat and drink, with whom you interact of live with. The house you step into has an influence, the company you work in, the chair you sit on, the surrounding you are in, the book that you read, the stars that you see.

Everything and everyone, that lives in your world, has an influence on you. Most people are intuitively aware of this, however they are unaware that the connections have much more influence than they think. They think usually they are separate from all that. That is not the case.

Beyond the things that we are attached to, the most influential strings are the ones that come from our personal attachment to people. The way you are attached to others, is so influential that you might immediately feel very different when just thinking about that other person. It is important to note that – without knowledge around this – a person is very much influenced at all times.

Once one understands the impact of all outer influences, one can take the attitude of neutral detachment. It is in this neutral detachment of all things, that one becomes a person of stillness from within.

The storms of the world are still there, however the effects are minimized as much as possible, and trouble water becomes clear water.

When a person gets emotional, you will not be pulled into the same emotion and stay clear from the effects, however still compassionate about people. It is in this compassion that one finds that he is always connected to others, he becomes the other and then he becomes all.
