The Timeless Beauty of Asia: A Way of Seeing

The separation of the eye-sense from the dictation of the mental being with its permanent differentiating, separating and prejudging habits was the first highlight of his spiritual expedition. The character of this experience is first a complete stop of thinking, followed by a collapse of the dualistic division in subject and object. The illusion of subject and object is perpetuated by the habitual identification with thinking, and break to pieces when it stops. The body or the senses find back their original vision. And there is more to it than that. With the stop of thinking also the time, a mind-construct, ends and is replaced by a presence without past and future. In this eternal presence one doesn't have feelings of necessity, there is no need, no shortcoming, no wanting, no Ananke. Instead of one is full, complete, self-contented, fortunate and blissful. No words are able to express this experience, and every approach will end in speechlessness. The vision of the eyes freed from all separation is the vision of Oneness, endless, unspeakable. Whoever constantly lives in this consciousness, he is enlightened. But it is usual to fall back in the world of separation, of thinking, and so the memory becomes the guardian of the awakening and the heart the impulse for the journey to Oneness. Experiences like this are points of no return. Nobody can go back to the old ways of living, too strong is the yearning of the soul and too dull the old identity. The actual book wants to transfer the timeless beauty, the beauty without an opposite, to the heart of the readers and the same time arouse an enthusiasm for their own way of seeing and their individual journey back to Oneness.
