The meaning of looking back

One day you will look back. One day we all will feel the need to return. It is installed in us and it basically serves the species. Someone walks out into the world. He finds new ways. He learns and collect experiences. What sense would it make when he would not return to tell others from his experience tell? When he's not looking for people to hand on his knowledge? Nothing.

Thus a part of our needs, including our spiritual needs serves the species. People who learn to have fun in learning, feel at some point the need to return.

Esoteric people all over the world use that fact. You can sow the seeds by handing on your findings. By awakening the curiosity and desire for more knowledge you induce that more people search. All these people will come back years later and arouse more curiosity and enthusiasm and they all have something new to say - never seen, never heard of.

At the end there could be a world of spiritual travelers, staying at a base camp earth - a Garden of Eden.

Tips

• Tell your experiences, even if you do not you consider it relevant, to someone else it might be the very insight sought for years.

• Try not to be in line with the interpretations of other people. Consider your view as a flower in a sea of flowers. The more colors glow all the more the world appears magnificent.

• For each searcher there will be four new searcher following. If someone tells you that there is nothing more to look for and that you has arrived, then avoid these people. He is frozen in a kind of self-hypnosis.
  

Is the way the goal? Your opinion is asked for.

The way is the goal. Why such a title for this post?

Now - the number of hits googles offers if you were searching for 'the way is the goal' (171.000.000), indicates that many people use the formulation. But for me “the way is the Ziel” has a special meaning.

Let me undertake some thought experiment. From today on, I would have become 100 years older. There would be no me any longer according to the laws of mother nature. Dead, gone off to the ancestors. The sum of a life is achieved. Successes after death are spectacular - if it is noticed -, but i would not count on it. No, in 100 years from now on humans are interested in two things. Things I left behind and could I possibly mean to them.

George would like to inherit or enjoy things, which pleased me. In the very moment, even I probably do that, others probably do it, the use things which belonged to a deceased.

But what can I mean to human beings, if there is no me any longer? I can mean something to people beyond death in giving suggestions how a life can be led meaningfully. I can leave inspirations, how i used to manage things.

We all do things, which others found out before us and which are still valid. So fast my human life escapes, but the sum of my experiences is valuable and the sum of its experiences is my way.

We take for example a prescription for waffles.

One takes 500 g flour, 250 g butter, vanillin sugar, 250g sugar, lemon flavour, 4 eggs, some baking powder and as much milk that if everything is mixed, a paste suitable for the waffle-iron is prepared.

The recipe may be unhealthy according to modern cooking rules, but taste is guaranteed. The baker, who went to the waffle-way first, are gone for a long time, but their way remained with us, because the human building plan kept unchanged for many centuries and thousands of years.

I produce my waffle today a little differently, with less butter and sugar. Perhaps, I take instead honey and olive oil into the paste, but I follow nevertheless a way, which another humans went before.

And in such a way the ways change in the run of time. Only the ways, which adress human nature and motivate human beings at all times, persists.

I maintain this: Principally there are four ways, people follow during their course of life. All differences in detail between these four ways are owed to the human types. See the posts with who is…?

The four ways are:

• Provide a map of the world.
• Love your picture in the world
• Experience your drama
• Encounter your death
  

How is your opinion to it?
