Karl Renz: Being quiet is just being complete. You can do working, speaking, thinking – everything. You can eat. That doesn’t influence your completness. Or to be quiet is not talking or being silent or something. No. Being quiet means you are quiet, you are complete in your nature.

And that is 24/7, and that is meditation – being quiet, being complete. That is meditation without a meditator. Because a meditator is always incomplete. He wants to make something complete. But he will never make it complete, always incomplete, always greedy bastard – the meditator, greedy for peace, greedy for control. What to do with him. He cannot make you more or less as you are anyway. So you can be very generous – let it be as it is. May it be as it is. Let him struggle or not. Let him be a controller, a master. Let him even be enlightened. Continue reading “Being complete”

Karl Renz: You just are. Don’t call it anything. The pointer is just you are inspite of two liquids meeting and the body coming out. Not because you were born by or made by something.

You experience yourself as something what is local. But what you are is never local. You have no location or anything. It’s an experience of… like a baby and then growing, and it’s all experiencing and then it will end. And still you are that what was before. So you were before, you are now and you will be after, uninterrupted. So you didn’t get more when you were born, and you don’t get less when you die. So it’s always – you never get more or less by anything. Continue reading “Don’t call it anything”

Question: The thing I was trying to get from you – which I haven’t succeeded in getting yet is – was it, a one-time event? I know there’s no such thing as time, but time does seem to continue.

Karl Renz: No, no. This – to be That to which nothing ever happens – was never different. In That, there is no coming and going. So it’s here, now or never.

Karl Renz: You will never, by free will, hit the tree of existence. You always need a driving license to miss it. It is like that. That’s the functioning of the separate object and the survival system which is simply running as, “I want to survive.” So you want to become immortal and by wanting to become immortal, you avoid death. You meditate on immortality, what you want to become. So you will never make the final killing that is needed – the Kali head-chopping business. Continue reading “I want to survive”

Karl Renz: Demons. The only demon I know it is a me. That is Presence, the demon is there, the me. It’s a paper dragon, come on. Cannot do anything. Many have this idea: you have to kill the dragon inside, the ego like a dragon. You have to become like Roland from Bremen, then you are untouchable – you have this armor around you, like a screen you cannot penetrate. But if there is one part, one little thing, there is a leaf, and then comes ouuu, so no way out.

But it’s only the paper dragon, come on. It spits the fire which cannot touch you. Continue reading “Demons”

Question: What about the dream state?

Karl Renz: Here. Here. This is dream state.

Question: No, what we normally call the dream state?

Karl Renz: This is dream state. I am not normally here. This is dream state. You think I am normal? Don’t say we. What you call dream state. At night when you dream, what is then? You think that dream state is different than this state?

Question: What is the difference?

Karl Renz: No difference. This will be gone and that is gone. That what happened last night will be gone and this will be gone too. So it cannot be Reality because it is sometimes and it is gone. It’s like this life or this whatever experience. That is why it’s called dream state. That what is not dream or that what is Reality cannot be sometimes and sometimes not. So whatever has a beginning and an end is a dream state.

So your life now is a dream experience. Mahendra’s life being born and then dying is just a dream. The Merry-go-round. What a dream. So no difference of the night dream or this day dream. It’s both dream. You have nothing to gain here and you have nothing to gain in the dream.  As you have nothing to lose here, as you have nothing to lose at night in your night dream. You are always happy when you wake up from it in the morning. It was maybe a nightmare. So but all nightmares and good dreams are ending. And be happy about it that is just a dream. Nothing ever happened to you. So many dreams. What else? Continue reading “Dream”
