A WORD TO THE WISE - part 2

Parts from the first chapter

“...As years will pass and the world will grow older, death will become something so rare and unknown that it will be worshiped.”

"...Human age is correspondent to the years of conscious thinking. Are you sure you are 1 year old?"

"...There is no great truth, no great wonder because if you choose to speak about it you are reducing it to mere flesh level."

"...It felt like death and life and joy and sadness. It felt like a celebration. It felt like crucifixion. Then She blinks at me as if to say goodbye. And so I passed Her by. My insides are burning. A war in one moment. Indeed, I found the Holy Grail with guts opened."

A WORD TO THE WISE - part 1


Parts from the book's introductory text

"...the author’s intention is to generate a series of feelings to the reader as the text progresses forward, and therefore provide a particular result. This book helps speed up the wisdom learning process for the reader by providing descriptive images that derive from extraordinary experiences. Supposedly the purpose of this book is not to be studied. The purpose is the stimulation of the mind by creating a shortcut to knowledge. This is required to truly understand the difference between wisdom and intelligence. Do not try to find hidden meanings. Just let it happen. But this journey is surely not designed for the many. It can’t work on everyone. It aims towards the talented few that are so miserably kept on an invisible leash by their modern every day problems."

"...I always felt strangely about the amount of spiritual literature that exists out there. If someone feels different and wants to explore this alienation he must search through tons of garbage and religious mumbo jumbo to discover even a tiny bit of something people usually name truth. “The truth is out there” we were told by the subliminal mind spinning games of 90’s television. The millennia-old human desire for truth has very much in common with the also very old belief that the world will stop to exist one day. Both are fundamental human beliefs and influence the building up of modern society."

"...But if you really want a great spiritual ride, you will start studying the books of the established religions. “These people were terribly clever. We cannot even begin to imagine how clever and advanced they were and that’s why we don’t understand them” someone told me while attending a lecture on the Jewish Talmud. “People use 10% of their brains. Jesus was a man that used 100% of his brain!” This gem was uttered by a friend at a Christian seminar. While the 10% brain usage is most likely an urban legend, that man didn’t really seem to care and made the conclusion about Jesus with a total certainty. It’s not only what he said. It’s how he said it. His eyes glittered and his arm hair just popped right up in shivers. What can you do in front of such blind faith but rejoice that so many entertaining people exist and make the world just a little more fun to live in than it already is. But what tops it all, are the apocalypse theories. The fundamental belief that the world will end exists both in the humanity as a whole and in the single individual. In humanity it is called Armageddon. In the individual it is called biological death. The spiritual death is just an ongoing process and the frustration is that no one can see it. It is invisible."

"...It is frightening to acknowledge that people live day by day going to work, socializing, having babies and building houses with all that spiritual misguidance that has been enforced upon their minds. To realize this is quite difficult and needs tremendous amounts of will to be realistic and view the situation as it is. Yet there is no point in mourning for the thousands of useless information that has been transmitted into our psyche since day 1, even if such mourning would be well justified. All spiritual theories that were built on a lie must not continue their brain washing purpose and just shut the hell up. It can’t be put in a more simply understood way. The human soul is fragile and requires useful and creative stimuli in order to evolve. "

"...The answers that each of you seek may be closer than you think. If just 3 or 4 sentences were typed here giving the resume of this book it is a guarantee that it would be a miserable failed attempt to give a short cut. You see, whether you like it or not, it is in your nature to search and discover. Discovering without the searching part cannot be a useful experience. It can’t happen because you are designed that way. "

"...The enviromental changes that the planet is experiencing are in full accordance to the spiritual changes that are taking place across the human race. Wrap your minds around this one. And when the food is toxic and the water’s radioactive then the spirit will ask, “How did it come to this?”

"...Do you really believe that the great meaning of life is that it ends?"

"...This book is a riddle."
