You will have to do it yourself, always

My statement is that mutual communication is all about being able to receive and not to transmit. We pay too much attention to our words and are therefore an unwanted filter for others. By constantly trying to convince others of our truth, we deprive them of the opportunity to be able to find their own truth. Whereby the process of evolution is not about finding the truth, but about becoming more conscious in seeking the truth.

Can you explain to someone how to maintain balance when walking on a tightrope? Can you teach someone how to connect with God and the unseen worlds? Can someone who is severely depressed make that feeling clear to someone who has never suffered from anything before? None of this is arithmetic or linguistic agreement that we can share. All of these things take place not in the outer world, but in our inner world. And because we are unique beings, there is no standard method that we can exchange among ourselves. Even something like maintaining balance is experienced and used differently by different people.

Every person will have to learn for himself or herself how his or her inner world works. Even with those things that seem so logical and that we assume we all think alike. Words like “love” and “intelligence” carry a whole world within them and are used appropriately and inappropriately for anything and everything. We can explain our meanings in conversation with each other, but the other person will never be able to see through our eyes. There will always be a gap between you and the other in life here on this Earth. We mirror each other, but we all go through a unique process of consciousness with a beginning and end point.

At birth we are given a backpack containing talents and characteristics. During our life here we learn to use our talents within the framework of our characteristics. If our body was given the talent to run marathons and our mind the ability to give things up quickly, then our running performance will depend on our ability to rise above ourselves. It will always depend on that. So the question is whether we have been given a certain talent to become more consciously aware and to “improve” ourselves. Do we possess the qualities needed to develop and use this talent. Do we have it in us, or not?

How much influence do parents have on their children when it comes to that inner world? What does that parenting actually entail? Parents create their children in their image? No matter how well-intentioned, most parenting is just indoctrination. And it is always up to the child to break free from that, which works throughout life and manifests itself, for example, in the mid-life crisis. A seemingly positive suggestion that the child may do his best already indicates the desirability of going along with society’s achievement drive. Does that suit that unique child? Eventually, that child will carry all that extra baggage with him, and it remains to be seen whether the child has the talent and characteristics to take that junk out of the backpack again.

The child and also we as adults cannot escape all those well-meaning words. Even if our parents were the most aware and sensible people on Earth, we will still encounter thousands of people from an early age who talk nonsense to us. We are not born into a perfect world. Nor are we born perfect human beings ourselves. Our whole life we are given the choices to become more conscious. This happens in our inner world where that outer world is only a trigger. Whether we enter into this depends entirely on ourselves. Do we want to become conscious? Are we aware of this process at all?

There is a tendency to point to that outside world. Now when everyone says and writes the right things, it will be easier for us. But it doesn’t work that way yet, especially not at this stage of human evolution on Earth. The only thing we have some influence over is ourselves. If I want to learn to ride a bike, I will have to learn what balance is myself. My parents will tell me all sorts of things, but I will have to decide for myself what I want and can use of that in a way that suits me. In the end, I have to understand that everything depends on me. I will always have to do everything myself, when it comes to that inner world. I am responsible myself, for everything that happens to me.

This is also the individual way. Many people resist the fact that people are becoming more and more individual. They cling to the traditional we-ness. However, the individual cannot become and be himself in a group. For man to actually take a step in evolution, that man will have to find himself. We will have to discover our inner world. This does not mean that we can be contemptuous of others and not consider anyone. Of course we pay attention to our words, but in the end we do that purely for ourselves. The evolution of life is about self-realization, becoming yourself, becoming more conscious. Each one for himself. There is no responsibility for others nor for the whole; that is not up to us. When people start living their own lives, a divine spark will provide the next step in consciousness.

What was there before, the chicken or the egg? That was life before the chicken. And before that, life before matter. How did that chicken become a chicken? Did that chicken have any say in that? How long did it take that chicken to become a chicken? How long does it take man to become a man? What does it take us to become a human being? Do we have any say in that? These are questions for the inner world. Try to answer them as little as possible in the outer world. Even though they do come from there. At most, it is a reflection. As everything is. To what extent are you now able to enlighten yourself?
