Who are we?

I

Information about myself, with whom I have been friends as a human being for many years now

 

 

I was born as a human being and I hope - if I succeed - that I will also die as a human being. I was born in Graz in 1964 in modern times, although I spent most of my childhood and youth in Lower Austria. After graduating from high school, I studied biology and ecology in Vienna for three years, hoping to learn more about life there, until I realised that life doesn't just take place in schools or universities. Why did I find out? Well, I simply tried to find out what thoughts are and where they reside. Maybe in the fridge?

Or in the park? In my head? There were many unanswered questions.

 

In the end, I realised that thoughts don't reside anywhere in particular, in modern terms, they are non-local in nature. Ergo, they can be found almost everywhere, but not always in clusters and especially not just at school or university. So why do we go there to learn something? If information is basically available everywhere, you might as well stay at home or study in the meadow, where you feel comfortable and are receptive.

At some point I realised that there are two types of learning.

 

One is orientated towards the outside, towards the objects in our world,

as we know them in everyday life. The other is inward-looking and we try to obtain information via memories that are already there, deep inside us. If in the first case teachers and professors impart knowledge that has already been found (by others), in the second case everyone can be a professor in their own right and also a student. So you don't have to learn anything extra because you potentially already know everything. I would like to interrupt here and say that many of you are probably thinking that my thoughts have become confused, but take a closer look at the case yourself. The difference between the two approaches to knowledge is not that great.

 

However, in the first case we always need teachers, gurus or seminar leaders who feed us external information, for which we usually pay a lot. In the less popular - albeit much more favourable - case, we only need ourselves and the universe, which we know is always there.

 

But what do we want to learn?

 

To use a hammer and hammer a nail into the wall? Or to construct a soap box and dash down the hill? Or what?

 

I decided to get to know myself, and I think that was probably the most momentous decision of my life. After all, I could have chosen something easier, but apparently I didn't want to.

 

Well, the Self, the Soul, the Sovereign Integral, whatever we call it, is at the core of being human.  One can recognise that the human being as a universal being consists of three main parts, as many of the ancient cultures in Central America have formulated it. These three aspects of density - luminosity - co-operation correspond to our more common view of body - soul - spirit. In other words, matter was represented by the term density, the world of energies (actually: energetic potentials) by the word luminosity and the spiritual level by the term co-operation.

 

Education is what remains when you have forgotten everything you have learnt. (W. Heisenberg)
 

As humans, however, we are split in two, and have been from the very beginning. We call the structure or shell Homo Sapiens Sapiens, which was given to us at birth. We have divided this vessel into body, soul and spirit, as nature intended. But now comes the exciting part, which unfortunately some people miss. Figuratively speaking, this vessel can be filled through the aforementioned learning process, which adds content or qualities to the structures already given.

 

In this way, the material part of the body is linked to health, which can only be achieved by those who endeavour to do so. Health is the maximum that is possible for the physical body (see: person from the Greek persona = mask) with a conscious and healthy lifestyle.

As the body masks the spirit, which is, so to speak, hidden behind the larva of the material, we cannot see it or perceive it with our five senses. However, the spiritual part of us is accessible through consciousness and wants to find peace, which also seems very desirable when you consider the current world situation. Just like health for the body, peace for the spirit is the highest of feelings, and that's as good as it gets. The soul finds its fulfilment in joy, which carries both peace and health in equal measure. The passive, structural (ordinal) side of our being is the body-soul-spirit unity. The active, qualitative (cardinal) side is expressed by the aspects of health-joy-peace. Both parts together, the passive as well as the active, form the crystalline unity of the new human being, called Hu.man.

 

Hu here stands for dove; Babylonian hu = dove. Since the dove has to do with the Holy Spirit, it is to be hoped that the designation Hu.man, which I have chosen for the person of the future, is appropriate.

 

This reminds me of my starting position here on earth and of my faithful mate, my person. Over the course of time, this person has taken on many different experiences or has also expressed the spiritual developments obediently through their actions on the outside. These actions can be summarised in the so-called personal curriculum vitae, and I don't want to be an exception here. For this reason, here are a few key words on the subject:

 

The person dietmar dietus elbl would like to add some professional fields and activities:

 

...student, social pedagogue, community service worker, civil servant, naturalist, book author, traveller, product developer, consultant, teacher, tourism manager, refugee counsellor and number cruncher...

 

Der Mensch would like to add two more quotes from Michael Wolf:

 

Science is my pillow to hold when I sleep.

Cosmic particles. If they could wish, would wish to be loved. Too.
