The Eightfold Path
The eightfold path can be understood as the unfolding of eight forces of love:
- Thinking
- Practicing
- Speaking
- Mediating
- Reconciling
- Connecting
- Devotion
- Become one
Interpreted in the light of the Sermon on the Mount, the requirements of the eightfold path change into offers:
|
First, |
|
the life forces in thinking want to be grasped and strengthened. |
|
Second, |
|
practicing wants to be brought from the mind into everyday life. |
|
Thirdly, |
|
living speech out of the logos wants to be unfolded. |
|
Fourth, |
|
taking action from the depths of life wants to take on its role as mediation. |
|
Fifthly, |
|
a living balance between opposites gradually wants to come into being. |
|
Sixth, |
|
the previous striving leads to a deep connection with life. |
|
Seventh, |
|
through this devotion towards life is enhanced. |
|
Eighth, |
|
the will mouths into a life in meditation. |
These thoughts as well as the sections "Task" and "Offer" in this course are based on suggestions from the writings of Wilhelm Floride:
I WANT
in order to find the smile of the gods ...
drink all tears ...
dedicate myself to earth ...
bow before the stars ....
and breathe the wideness.
embrace the moment ...
understand every heartbeat ...
look into everyone’s eyes ...
bless all things ...
live deeply out of silence.
I WANT
