The Ultimate Enigma... lays within the relationship of Truth and Love. Love itself doesn´t care about Truth, it just cares about itself. It just cares or expresses itself trough the relationship of Lover and Beloved, hence – it´s not interested finding the truth, but only in the question of how the “I” can express it´s love to the Beloved. Truth on the other hand has completely sacrificed itself to Love and therefore – in it´s devotion – denied it´s own existence by stating:...
Recently I watched a kind of documentary about the democratic republic Kongo/Africa with the title „City of joy“. It is about mines, war and rape as a war strategy. A Congolese doctor and a Congolese woman, who grew up in one of these villages nearby a mine founded a special place, the „City of joy „ for the raped and hurted women. The woman describes how she grew up in her village which for her was like living in paradise, fearless and happy until the soldiers came and her whole...
So, I’m back. Like Aharon wrote already in his blog, we finished our main journey. That doesn´t mean, that we found already our place in the outside world. But surprisingly ( at least for me) this journey wasn´t about the outer movements - although we visited a lot of different countries and places - in fact, it was mostly an internal journey. So, where to start? I just can start in the present moment. It is Saturday evening, 3rd of July 2021. One day before the Day of independence, the 4th...
Being a fool Yesterday I was – once again – tempted to “extent” our platform of the Fool´s Paradise through a YouTube channel, to share some of my contemplative explorations I love to do. For example: about the difference between judgment and confession, about the relationship of truth and love, about the mystery of Evil and the necessity to look into the Devil´s Eye etc. Looking at the listed topics, here is the thing: Well, I looked into the Devil´s Eye and doing so, I found out a...
Reasonable people are cought by the notion of cause and effect. The foolish ones are by definition crazy and therefore - without any reason – are free to do whatever they want. So, I choose to become a fool of love. Now, I can do whatever I want and can´t be hold accountable – as, because of my crazyness, I am not responsible of my doing, but love is.
Yes, it´s been a while, since I wrote something in our blog. And it feels somehow weird to start now again to “revive” our web page. Actually, after the initial burst out of energy to implement the fools-paradise web-side as a virtual layout or communication platform to talk about our endeavor, the energy to foster our page suddenly dried out for no reason and we left it in a kind of dormant state until now. But of course, we kept it open, since our “dream” or more precise: “inner...
A contemplation on the term worshipping: It may sound shocking, but the first association that comes along with that term is, that worship to god is a big collective trap and even distract us from the reality within us. Said that, I feel different between the term worship and devotion. Worship is much more an expression of a hierarchy-trap in regard of: “I´m the poor one and you are the Almighty. This and that is wrong with me, I´m not worthy, I need to practice, make exercises etc. to...
The Fool´s Voyage · 27. February 2018
Why do we call our webpage “The Fool´s Paradise” and also our journey the voyage of a fool ? Well, one aspect is, that we allow ourself´s to be led by our unreasonable intuition, beyond any mind´s weighing of interests or considerations of cause and effect. In the German language there is a nice etymological discernment between the word “origin” ( “Ursprung” ) and prime cause ( “Ursache” ). The word “Ur-sprung” literally means the “primal leap” and the word...
The Fool´s Advocate · 23. February 2018
We all probably remember times or situations, where we felt (hopefully we still feel!) unconditional happiness like an innocent child, dandle and hopping around with inner rootless excitement. But afterwards, we probably also have experienced this sense of fear sneaking in like a tiny drop of water repeating and repeating over and over again: “Don’t trust that happiness – its ending, its not the core truth, its not the reality. You need to stay with the facts. The reality is struggle,...
