Be no one for a change if you want to be someone

The reason why we don´t communicate for real,
is because we are

  • overly interested in our own person

  • too keen to be right

  • to eager to be someone

  • too stingy

Another misbelief

Not only that it doesn´t believe, but even when the Ego “believes”,
it´s not believing anyhow…

So simple as that:

Believing is another misbelief…

A prompting insight

Ego´s greatest fulfillment is to invariably deceive itself.

A new sense of Unity

We need a sense of unity, not an Idea of unity. 

Not an ideology of unity, because if there was an ideology of unity it was Communism
and the pieces are still FALLING from the explosion of that system of thought.

We need a feeling of unity which doesn´t come out of intellectual exhortation,
but out of a personal act of courage, made by the individual.

AN ACT OF COURAGE WHICH INVOLVES SURRENDER!

Surrender is the opposite side of the coin of Ego!

The central issue of our times is our inability to surrender to what we know is right.

The question is, can we change our minds fast enough?

The hour is late, the clock is ticking. We will be judged very harshly if we fumble the ball.

Let´s not whore ourselves to nitwit ideologies, let´s not give the control to the
least among us!

You simply have to turn your neck to a culture that has gone sterile and dead and
get with the programme of a living world, and re-empowerment of the imagination.

- Terence McKenna

A comment about Truth and Enlightenment

Can we look together into what “I don’t know what anything means” and
I don’t know what anything is for” may mean?

This entails the most difficult trial, namely, to let go of any inner attachment to our
ideas, having the courage of dropping any thought sense of security.

WHATEVER TACIT RELATION WE “NORMALLY” HOLD TO THINGS IS BUT A LIE!

To interrupt any urge for name-giving, knowing that whatever definition keeps us
trapped into a false relation to Life, requires great courage.

IDENTITY IS ATTACHMENT. IDENTITY IS FEAR.

Any thought or idea we have about anything is basically attachment too.
It is about eventually having the courage to “interrupt” everything, that is, to let go of whatever expectation as to what we call “suchness” – or normality -, and perceive everything in a state of total mystery.

No matter how subtle, the Mind is unable to conceive any true picture of what
Illumination entails. In fact, enlightenment is the mind´s ultimate defeat,
the death of projection.

That is why It is neither Jesus or Buddha, nor fullness or emptiness, not this nor that.

Truth is not any “ideal”. Searching must stop for Truth to appear. As long as we continue with the quest for Self or Truth we only delude ourselves – “Are we there yet…?” that´s the voice of your deception.

You say:
“But there is something in me that doesn’t trust that message, a sneaking suspicion that I have to keep moving, keep looking, thinking maybe I will find it in the next book, or in the near future.”

Who is speaking here other than your cunning and deceiving Ego who by no means
wants to “lose” the fight and postpone everything into “the near future”.

All books, all quotes are mere approximations – they cannot describe a reality which transcends any human concept…Otherwise the great Zen masters would have probably
been University professors…:)

Ego…

…Unhappiness purporting to be happy.

Separation versus enlightenment

Ego´s greatest success would be if he ceased to exist… – as Ego.
As Separation.

Ego´s greatest failure – its death, is the glorious beginning of Enlightenment.

 

Meaning Is Implicit Relation

Ego can never have a genuine relation to anything really.

How can it, when practically, Ego´s essence is built on defense and attack?
It is – and defines itself through – limit.
It constantly raises and hides behind thick walls.

Subsequently, you can´t possibly find Meaning at an egotic level.

Just know:

WHERE EGO ENDS, TRUE RELATION STARTS.

Just ponder on this

Your greatest unhappiness is your Ego´s ultimate fulfillment.

The Unreal is far more real than “reality”

Despite being a musician myself, I have always had problems in interacting with “musicians”.
Most of them have no vision at all, lack any sense of phantasy, they dont usually understand a thing beyond common rendition of any piece, in short, most of them are a total nuisance and a bore.

Unbearable…

God, how I had to put up with their petty fear, misjudgment and their “intellectual”
aloofness which many times was nothing but pompous mediocrity. In their “company”
I felt like a total misfit, thinking only of mischief  - how to corrupt their incredible narcissism and lack of self-distance.

In their “understanding” I wasn´t “serious” being interested in literature and philosophy. When they found out that I paint, write poems and essays, things become even worse.

Unless you stick with the known and the petty, you become an outlaw.

Trying to “convince” them through wise argumentation and coherent thought turned into more disaster, as fools never feel like communicating  - they just wanna be right, and punished me for disturbing their idiotic comfort zone.

Trying to reach a mediocrity is worse than ranting to a wall.
Whatever is not mediocre scares them to death.

Such guilt I felt in their biased comprehension. Such sadness.
Such indescribable loneliness and confusion.

“If those people dealing with immaterial reality – MUSIC –  don´t get a thing,
who the hell does…?” I thought…

So all these years, I had no choice than accepting and going all the way into this loneliness
of being on my own, dig and grope into abysmal sorrow not knowing if I ever will come out from this pit.

But here I am…seeing a crevice.

This person called Julien Matei is finally emerging as a meta entity dealing with Music, Colour, Movement and perennial Word.

This exhausting journey is now coming to an end. I tasted the most bitter fruits of metaphysical loneliness, and I haven´t wavered…

If “Art” is to be real, it need to be Meta Art.

Likewise, if Life is to be real, it needs to be Meta Life – we have to surpass and
leave behind this perverted and fusty Ego, confronting the Eternal Light and its Shade.

Sometimes what is “beyond” is more immediate than this
very moment.

It shows after all, that “THE UNREAL” IS FAR MORE REAL THAN “REALITY”
