Beschreibung

There seems to be a possibility of an instantaneous understanding or obviousness of what is being spoken here. It is not even something real, however, the apparent me might die in that obviousness. This book presents a stunning collection of quotes from Andreas talks in the magic Cretan village of Lentas.

Leseprobe

The words are of a stunning directness today. The

scriptures we have from the past are mystified or

theologized. The actual message is hard to find.

Today you just say: “This is ‘it’. There is no one.

Spirituality is an illusion.” It’s so simple.

All I say is empty. You can’t get anything out of it.

There is no ‘me’, no soul, no presence, no self-

awareness and no self-consciousness.

~

There is no experience now,

and there will never be any experience.

Seen from the apparent perspective of the apparent

me, liberation is assumed to be an ongoing

experience of consciously knowing and feeling that

everything is good.

That ongoing experience doesn’t exist.

~

Liberation isn’t a waking up from one state into

another state. It’s the end of the illusion of self-

consciousness to be something that exists.

There is nothing present in the first place. The

experience of being something that’s present –

“now-here” – is an illusion. That doesn't mean that

instead of a person there is the illusion of a person

present; no, there just is nothing like that in the first

place.

~

There is no right and no wrong.

~

All the efforts to become one have to fail, simply

because there is nothing separate. In that sense,

seeking is trying to find an answer for a problem that

doesn’t even exist. There is neither a person nor any

real seeking. Certainly, there is no answer.

There is no step towards that,

nor is there a step away from that.

~

All experience of completeness that you create is

part of the dream. All experience is illusory. ‘What is’

is naturally whole already, no matter what it looks or

feels like.

~

No way in, no way out.

No movement and no standstill.

Well-being is the natural reality. Everything is totally

and absolutely well in being what it is.

~

There is nothing to know, simply because there is no

reality that can be known.

There is nothing you could get hold of.

~

The miracle is that ‘what is’ is naturally whole and

complete. All problems are imagined problems.

Oneness is beautifully ignorant,

simply because there is nothing else.

~

There is no ‘me’. So, there is no dream of ‘me’ either.

The assumption that there is a dream that could end

is already part of the dream. There is neither any

delusion nor a dream to wake up from.

~

‘What is’ isn’t an illusion – the experience of it is the

illusion.

There is neither someone in liberation,

nor is there someone in bondage.

~

That which lives in presence wants to escape its

presence in order to be present with its absence.

~

There is no delusion. It’s already part of the

(apparent) delusion that there is a delusion. There

isn’t. There is nothing to overcome and nothing to

lose.

There is no creation. There is no real happening in

time and space. Nothing ever becomes something.

It’s that simple.

~

The whole idea that there is an illusion is part of the

(apparent) illusion. There being no ‘I’ actually also

means that there is no illusion. You don’t have to

wake up from something or slowly percolate layers of

delusion.

~

Whatever you feel, whatever you do and whatever

you think – it’s what apparently happens. No one is

doing it, no one is observing it and no one is

controlling it. There is no one.

The sense of being someone automatically is

accompanied by a sense of unfulfilment and mostly

by a sense of restlessness.

~

The sudden rise of the experience of presence is the

apparent birth of the ‘me’. Suddenly, there is the first

subtle something. And automatically, there has to be

something around it. So, if you have one, you have

two. And when there are two, there is also

something that divides or connects them – a border,

a bridge. That’s the process of living in awareness

and attention. Now you have three: the perceiver,

the perception and the perceived. Out of that, the

whole (illusion of a) world arises. Apparently.

~

There are no real insights,

nor are there any real life partners or any real gurus.

You’re waiting for something to be real and for

something to be really fulfilling.

“Maybe the next insight will be real, and the search

will end. Maybe the next partner will be real and will

be the right one. Maybe the next guru will be real

and will help me get to a real circumstance called

liberation.” Forget it!

~

The person’s experience only consists of, “It’s not

completely obvious yet” or, “I’m not completely

there yet.”

~

The assumption is that one day, you’ll arrive

somewhere. Yet, you never will. There is neither a

‘you’ nor a reality that can be experienced. There are

no circumstances to arrive in. In that sense, it’s

wonderfully hopeless.

The pain as well as my reaction to it is what

apparently happens. There just is no one there living

in the illusion of doing any of it.

~

The assumption that you’re happening right now;

that’s the dream.

~

This ‘I am’ is the illusion, but as there is no real ‘I am’,

there is no illusion either.

The whole experience of there being something that

exists comes from the personal experience. It’s the

experience of ‘I am’ to be something that exists and

has been created. Exactly that’s the dream: that

there is something that has been born.

~

The whole setup of experiencing doesn’t exist. The

first element of it – you – seeking in the second

element – what you experience – is a dreamt reality.

All results of that seeking are part of that dreamt

reality as well.
