(Blog on…029) SUNDAY SERMON
Sunday morning. I look out at the world, close and far beyond, and see the enormous beauty, feel the enormous joy. And I realize just how different it is. I guess, I mean… the people. Or better said… I’m different. Always have been. Never really fitted in. Never wanted to. It’s so much better being here. Being me. Being free and… mad I could say. Mad in a normal type way. Of course, to myself I am the way I should be. ‘Cos you see, the truth is highly relative. My truth, your truth, their truth… To all the so-called “normal” citizens of the world, I guess to them my life appears crazy. Dis-attached. Non-conforming. Doing what I want. Going where I want. Thinking what I want. Being who I want, who I am. Perhaps they even see my case as tragic. Lacking rules, beliefs, needs, expectation. But then again… knowing what I know it’s hard to take anything seriously… when there is so much to learn about, so much to be grateful for, so much to simply… be.
Modern society teaches the purpose of life is to grow up, settle down, get married… bring up children, accumulate wealth, follow the rules and spend a lifetime pursuing pleasurable activities. Many fall into this trap. They call it success. And then… I seem to be laughing much more than all the “normal” type people. I guess that’s because I’m mad. They always said that. When I left school. When I said I will be it my way. When I refused to fit in. But somehow to me, the joy has always been in the path, not some destination.
The seeker within never rests. It searches for truth and meaning of life beyond established traditions and beliefs. Well, at least… mine does. It doesn’t seek to settle down, or grow up… to some achievement or norm. It just keeps on growing. More than ever exploring inner and outer worlds, moral responsibilities and our role in the formation of greater reality. It’s searching for freedom and true freedom can only be found in truth. In the moment of Now, seeing it as it is, not some man-made rules or seeking knowledge in faith etc.
I sincerely believe we should all strive to learn, to expand, to know. And as we embrace the truth we are awakening to moral responsibilities, holistic way of living and compassion for all living beings. I call it RESPONSIBLE CO-CREATION. Responsible, because as we expand we are growing in morality and thus – ever greater responsibility. Co-Creation, because we are no longer subject to evolution – we have BECOME EVOLUTION!
Responsible co-creation. Now that’s really being crazy. Madness, I say! Who on earth wants to take responsibility for anything these days? Today it’s all about appearances, winning, pushing the next person down. But the truth doesn’t go away. Never. It just sits there. The way it is. Waiting for us to grasp it, accept it. Natural progression. Evolution. Change. It’s one thing leading to the next and if we stop being so narrow and serious we suddenly notice this process of growth and expansion. The truth. Some accept it, many try to resist it, but the fact is, one way or another – we’re all going mad! In a good way. And one day soon we’re going to wake up and find that; working together, laughing together, creating together – is WHO WE TRULY ARE. There is, of course, another option. As Max Planck subtly explained:
And now for breakfast… have a great Sunday!
