RELATIONSHIPS & THE INNER BEING

The other is a mirror of our own face; the other is a mirror of our inner being.

The entire universe is a manifestation of our own inner being.

Man is the microcosm and the universe is the macrocosm.

In our inner being, we are one with all.

True relationships is to see ourselves in all beings and to see all beings in ourselves.

The inner being is not only present in human beings, but it is also present in flowers, trees, animals, stones and the stars.

The divine exists everywhere in nature.

Once we realize this we will never feel alone.

We find the communion of the heart everywhere.

Healing is the way of the heart. This book is an invitation to open our heart. Healing is a love affair with life.
Healing is pure love. Love is what creates healing. Spiritual healing is to be one with ourselves. And to be one with ourselves is to be in joy.
Healing is to develop our inner being. Healing is to discover that which is already perfect within ourselves. It is to rediscover our inner life source. Spiritual healing is to be one with life. We are never really alone, it is our idea of a separate "I" that creates the feeling of being separate from life, from the Whole.
In reality there is only one heart, a pulsating Existential heart. Our own heart pulsates in unity with the Existential heartbeats. We are all notes in the Existential music, and without our unique note the music would not be complete. We are all needed in the Whole; we all have our unique fragrance, quality and gifts to contribute to the Whole.
More than 30 years ago, I had an individual consultation with a spiritual teacher. I did not have time to sit down before I got the question: "You are interested in healing, are you not?" It was the first time that I encountered the topic that would become my way and deep source of joy in life. This spiritual teacher finished the consultation saying: "You will be a fine healer."
The art of healing is the psychology of being, the science of inner transformation. The psychology of being begins where Western psychology ends. It goes beyond Skinner, Freud, Jung, Rogers, Maslow and humanistic psychology. The psychology of being is the psychology of consciousness, a psychology for inner transformation. It is not basically a question of psychology, it is a question of being. The psychology of being begins where we are, and take us to everything that we can be.
The underlying theme the psychology of being is meditation - but not meditation as a static technique - but as the capacity to BE with ourselves and others in a quality of watchful awareness, acceptance and realization.
The art of being is a search beyond the personality. It a search beyond the thoughts, the emotions and the learned attitudes of the personality, to the inner being, to the depth within, which is hidden in ourselves.
The inner being is a deep acceptance of ourselves as we are; the inner being is to be available to life. The inner being is to be in unity with life. This book is an invitation to meet the inner being, our inner source of love, joy, acceptance, humor, intuition, understanding, wisdom, truth, silence and creativity.

Sermon of the Mounts

Matthew 5

AND SEEING THE MULTITUDES, HE WENT UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS, AND WHEN HE WAS SET, HIS DISCIPLES CAME UNTO HIM.

The multitudes, the masses, the crowd, is the lowest state of consciousness. It is a deep ignorance and sleep.

If you want to relate and communicate with the masses, you have to come down to their level.

That is why whenever you go into the masses, the crowd, you start to feel suffocated.

This suffocation is physical and psychological, beacuse you relate to people, who functions from a very low state of consciousness.

They pull you down and you become physically and psychologically tired and drained.

That is why a need for meditation and aloneness arises.

There is a practice in the life of Jesus that he noves into the crowds of people, but after a few months he goes to the mountains. He goes away from the crowd, to be with God.

When you are alone, you are with God.

To relate to the masses brings you down to their level of consciousness, but only in the presence of God, you can fly.

With the crowd, you can not fly, you become crippled, and the masses will not tolerate if you do not live according to them, according to their level of consciousness.

To be able to work with the masses, to be able to help them, you have to relate to them according to their level fo consciousness - and this is tiring and draining.

Both Jesus and Buddha moved to the mounatins, to a lonely place, just to be themselves, and to be with God to regain their vitality to be able to come back to the masses where people are thristy.

The montain is where Jesus do not need to think about the masses, where he can forget the mind and the body.

In that moment of aloneness and meditation, one simply is.

This is the inner being, the source of life.

And when you are full again, you can share again.

AND WHEN HE WAS SET, HIS DISCIPLES CAME UNTO HIM.

To talk to the masses and to talk to disciples is two very different things.

To talk to the crowd is to talk to people, who are indifferent.

The crowd is resisting, defensive and argumentative.

To talk to disciples means to talk to people, who have a basic thirst. It means that they are not defensive, they are open to listen to the heart of truth.

AND HE OPENED HIS MOUTH, AND TAUGHT THEM, SAYING.

Jesus escaped into the mountains from the crowd, but he did not escape from the disciples.

He was available to the disciples.

In his aloneness, Jesus is with God. And through Jesus, the disciples can feel God.

The closer the disciple come to Jesus, the more they will see that Jesus is a silence and emptiness through which God can sing.

And the more the disciple himself will become an emptiness, he will also be able to help other people.

AND HE OPENED HIS MOUTH, AND TAUGHT THEM, SAYING. BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT, FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

This is the most fundamental statement of Jesus.

With this statement, Jesus has said everything.

The "poor in spirit" is exactly what Buddha means with the term Shunyatta - "emptiness", no-self, nothingness.

It is when the ego disappears, and you are a nobody, a silence.

If you are a nobody, if you are nothing, you are God.

Our heart is the door to allowing Existence to guide us.

Despite 2000 years of evolution in modern times, we have still not managed to develop the intelligence to create a society that knows what love is. Our society is still not a civilization, it is still primitive and barbaric.

Emptiness and the not-“I” is the quality that arises when the therapist consciously moves out of his own way without hindering the therapeutic process through his own ideas, attitudes, expectations and concepts. He is present, available and responds with the truth in the moment.
