If we want to change something in our lives, to deal with a situation differently - in a new way, the mind will resist a lot and create catastrophic scenarios. Scare! Because it has no new solution in its database. Western civilization has been taught from a very young age to develop the mind. Everything has to be thought about, thought out, thought through... "Think with your head! What you have it for!" And so we lose postupně schopnost vnímat a cítit a jen myslíme. Proto se musíme tolik učit, tedy co nejlépe naplnit databanku, aby měla mysl dostatek dat.

The mind is an integral part of our being and we could probably find an endless list of situations where it is very necessary. Yes, it is. But there are also situations where it makes life very difficult. For it is purely analytical and works ONLY with the known. In fact, we could compare the mind to a computer that generates answers based on stored previous experiences.

THE MIND EVALUATES AND EVALUATES

You go for a walk with a small child and he sees a sparrow. He cries out with joy: "Pipi." His little eyes light up and he watches the fluffy little animal. He devours its every movement. He laughs out loud when the sparrow jumps. The little kid doesn't have the relevant data in his mind database. He's just observing with his heart and experiencing the present. And that presence fills him with happiness and joy.
We, as "smart" adults, immediately explain to the child that it is a sparrow. A common and even useless bird. We'll populate the database with the necessary data. And what does that do to the child's life?
We're going for a walk again. The child sees a sparrow. He says, "Sparrow." He's being praised for his exemplary work with the database. Unfortunately, that's the end of the sparrow encounter. The mind has taken control of the situation. The heart is silent.
Sami si odpovězte, jak naše "chytrá" data, obohatila život dítěte...

"Thinking means judging. You see something and you judge it. Either you appreciate something or you reject it." (OSHO)

You see a flower, you either say it is beautiful or you say it is not beautiful. You begin to judge its qualities and characteristics. Your mind immediately sends a query to the database and returns the values that fit the flower. The analysis begins. Data from the past is brought into the present and shaped by it. As soon as the past enters the present, you have missed the present. If you say, "This flower is beautiful," it is a past experience. You have known, you have judged. You have expressed its qualities in words. Words are judgment. Now you no longer see the flower. Between you and the flower stands your judgment of its beauty. Your past experience.

WATCH. LOVE.

Zamilujete se. Krásný pocit. Pocit, kdy do vašeho života přišla bytost, díky které jste byli ochotni naplno otevřít své srdce. A ten mohutný tok Lásky vaším srdcem způsobil ten euforický stav, stav zamilování. Před vámi stojí váš milovaný. A už to jede: Je nádherný! Je pozorný! Je ohleduplný! Je... A je vymalováno J! Mezi vámi a vaším milým stojí vaše posouzení – „Kluk z plakátu“. A jak to bude dál? Váš milý začne vykukovat zpoza plakátu. Začne ho ničit. Křičet: „Haló! Tady jsem!“ Až se mu to nakonec povede. A co uslyší nyní? „Ty ses úplně změnil! Takového tě neznám!“ A pro jistotu zavřeme srdce. A přitom náš milý jen upozorňoval na clonu, kterou mezi vás vložila vaše mysl.

What about it? Exactly what Eastern methodology teaches. Observe! Not analyze.

"If you analyze, you go around and around. If you observe, you have stepped out of the circle." (OSHO)

If I tell you, "Look at the flower, but don't think," then speaking is not allowed. Then what can you do? You can just be an observer. If you are present without thinking, if you are just looking at something, that is observation. So observation means passive consciousness. Thinking is active, you are doing something. Whatever you are seeing, you are doing something with it. You are not just passive, you are not just a mirror - you are doing something. And once you are doing something, then you have already changed that thing. That thing no longer exists in your life. It exists only as a projection of your mind. Observation is the experience of pure being. It is you and it is the flower. By observing you have the opportunity to experience the present, to experience meeting the flower, to become it.

It's the same with our beloved. There's not much to explain here.

Our most beautiful moments are when we are silent in each other's arms or when we hold hands in silence.

Just be. Just watching. Just to feel. To be one. Ah!

Chcete-li prožívat, pozorovat, být v přítomnosti... vynechte slova. Když jíte – jezte beze slov. Když jdete – jděte – nemluvte. Pouze jděte, třeba jen několik sekund, a zahlédnete jiný svět – svět beze slov, skutečný svět, nikoliv svět mysli, který si člověk v sobě vytvořil. Užívejte chvíle „tady a teď!“

I wish you loving days.
