All truths are also truths and vice versa.

All truths are also truths and vice versa.

​


Wisdom cannot be passed on to others.


Wisdom, no matter how sage communicates it, always sounds like a fool once it is delivered.


Knowledge can be transmitted, but wisdom cannot.


We can find wisdom, we can experience it, we can carry it with us, and we can do miracles with it, but wisdom cannot speak or teach.



All truths are also truths and vice versa.


Truth can only be expressed in words when it is one-sided, and words can be covered with a hull.


What can be thought with thoughts and what can be spoken with words are all one-sided. All are one-sided, all are only half, and all lack totality, completeness, and unity.


Thus, the Blessed One Gautama would have had to divide the world into samsara and nirvana, delusion and truth, suffering and liberation when preaching.


For those who want to teach, there is no other way. However, this world itself, that which surrounds us and exists within us, is by no means one-sided. There is never a case where a man or an act is total reincarnation or total nirvana, and never a man is entirely sacred or full of sin. Yet it appears that way because we are mistaken for a time as real.


​

Time doesn't really exist.


If time does not really exist, then it is an illusion that it is a gap that seems to lie between the present and eternity, between suffering and happiness, between good and evil.


The idea that all sinners will one day reach nirvana and become Buddhas, this 'someday' is an illusion and only a metaphor. The sinner is not on the way to Buddha-nature. The sinner is not in anyone developmental process. Although our thinking has no choice but to think of everything that way, we do not have the capacity to think otherwise.


Inside that sinner, now and today, the Buddha of the future dwells. All of the sinner's future is already there. I must respect the Buddha, the hidden Buddha, who dwells within the sinner, who dwells within me, within each sentient being, with the potential to become the very Buddha.


​


This world is not incomplete, nor is it on the way to perfection. This world is in a state of perfection every moment, every little child already has a grey-haired old man inside him, every suckling has died within him, every dying man has eternal life within him. . No one dares to say of another man how far he has progressed in his own life course.


​


In a state of deep meditation, time can be stopped, and all life that has existed in the past, is present, and will exist in the future can be viewed as simultaneous. Then all is good, all is perfect, all is Brahman. Thus, all that exists is seen as good, death and life alike, sin and sanctity alike, wisdom and folly alike. Everything in the world needs only my consent, only my willing acceptance, and my good understanding.


​


Not to compare it to any world imagining, some kind of perfect state I've come up with in my head, but to leave it as it is, to love it, and to be willing to be a part of it. I knew that I needed it, that I needed the sensual pleasures and evils, the greed for riches, the vanity, and the most shameful state of despair.

Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity.

 Fatigue society, excess of positivity, dialectic of positivity. ​ ​ ​ Each age has its own disease. For example, there is an era that can be said to be bacterial. But this era came to an end, at least with the invention of antibiotics. The beginning of the 21st century can be defined pathologically as neither bacterial nor viral, but rather neurotic. It is an infarct disease, not a contagious disease, and it is a disease caused by an excess of positivity, not the negativity of the immunological other. Therefore, it is by no means governed by immunological techniques aimed at defeating the negativity of others. ​ The last century was the immunological age. In other words, it was an era in which clear boundaries were drawn between the inside and the outside, friends and enemies, and me and others. The essence of immunological behavior is aggression and defense. There is a certain blindness in the essence of these immunological devices that have taken over the entire society from the...

The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana.

 The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana. "The observer is the source of all things. Without the observer nothing exists. The observer is the basis of all knowledge. The basis of all claims concerning man himself, the world and the universe. The extinction of the observer is the It will mean an end and annihilation, for there will be no one left to perceive, speak, describe or explain." - <<From Being to Doing>> Maturana ​ Someone is watching something. Marurana says this is a fundamental starting point. The person develops a world of his own as he sees it as an observer. If the other person exists as an observer, then the other person's world exists, and as an observer, the world that that person sees also exists. ​ The philosopher Nietzsche, before Maturana, described this as perspectives. If the term perspectives is difficult to describe, you can borrow the term from Maturana and call it 'observers. ​ ​ Snakes are creatures of a different world from human...

active reading.

 active reading. We know more about the world than we used to, and you may still think that knowledge is essential to understanding something. But knowledge is no longer as essential for understanding as one-sided thinking. You don't have to 'know' everything about something to 'understand' it. Too much information can actually be an obstacle to understanding something. The present age is overflowing with facts that prevent us from understanding the correct appearance of things due to a lot of information. ​ One of the most active projects of some of the best intellectuals today is to unite views from an intellectual standpoint. Through the Internet, television, radio, and magazines, people are provided with well-organized resources, from clever persuasion to carefully curated information and statistics, to make 'decisions' with little effort. But with effective packaging, viewers, listeners, and readers are sometimes unable to make their own decisions. As i...
