BOOK

The spiritual journey deals about Tata. He meets various humans, whom encounter him in turn with everyday problems and worries. They ask Tata for advice, for that they walk to him from all cardinal points. The visitors provoke the passion in Tata to share his varied thoughts and authentic realizations. He describes a life, that shows moments between genius and madness. Each visit gives him strength to deal with the request in a creative way. So articles are created for the visitors, like: TIME IS NOW, QUANTUM MOMENT, or ENEMIES ARE YOUR MASTERS. Tata lingers in a space, where he meets a painter, a pilgrim, a scientist, a philosopher and many more. Each contact leads to insights, which accompany the visitor on his way. Tata doesn’t want just to help, he recognizes especially his self in each human.

CATEGORY: Spirituality

This is a book for everyone, who wants to dive deep into the world of thoughts of Tata, an often crazy and sometimes enlightened man.

AUTHOR

Renke Liebig (German 1986). He has written for some years a diary to write down his personal story. Thus many short articles were created, which he presents in his first book TATA‘S DISCOVERIES. He speaks German, English, and Spanish. He has used his language skills to write the book in these three languages. He studied in Germany, in the Netherlands, and in Chile. Formally he was enrolled in the faculty of business studies, but life had other plans. A deep aspiration for something different kept him from his studies, but not from writing. He loves to hike. He has made three long journeys on the Camino de Santiago in Spain (Camino Francés, Via de la Plata, Camino del Norte). From there comes his maxim for life, which he wishes for everyone with enthusiasm: ¡Buen Camino!

PROLOG

It was a hot day in summer. I have finally made the way. The Camino de Santiago in Spain. I walked many kilometres by foot. I have listened to a pilgrim´s mass for the completion of the way. There it was said, that the way is not over here at all. The way begins really now. I heard the words, but I did not understand them. Only later the topics were clearer to me. I always wanted to write a book. But I did not know about what. So I decided simply to write every day a little bit. At first I was writing a Blog on the internet. It was exciting to see, how more and more articles were created. I did not want just to blog. Now I wanted to write a book. So I have put the articles, which I have written, into a story. The book is called TATA‘S DISCOVERIES. It is about Tata, who is at first a doctor and supports humans. Then he becomes a patient himself and humans support him. At the end Tata is neither doctor nor patient anymore, but simply a human being, who experiences life.

INTRODUCTION

Tata is dreaming a little bit. He rest in his self. It is still. Thoughts are forming itself into words. He laughs. A laughing which is not from this world. The cosmic laughing. It pulls him into a peculiar moment, the quantum moment. It is still again. A timeless thought strives into his perception. Questions appear. Who am I? What is time? What is ego? These questions blow the rational mind of Tata. He awakes from his dream.

I am asking myself: Am I crazy? Am I enlightened? Am I crazy and enlightened? I move into the beingjoy, into the lifejoy. I cope with an identity crisis. I am going through diseases en masse. I arrive at the Tata-Realization of Being, Thinking, and Doing.

A pilgrim appears barefoot before my inner eye. The first chapter shows humans, which I have met during my journey in Spain. Words are forming itself in my thoughts to an attitude:

Give, what you have. Thus you receive, what you need.

1. HIKING

May I present myself briefly? I am Tata, the boss of the university of universe. My special field is the experience of consciousness. Many humans appear in this field in my perception. Thus I created a space, where I get in contact with them. If necessary, I give advices to the humans. They are looking for support, however often I don‘t give them, what they are wishing for initially. I give them, what they need from my point of view. Articles are created with each human and visitor, which are written for them and with them.

A tall woman enters the room with a big backpack on her back. She presents herself as pilgrim. She has many questions about the ways of this world. She wants to know more about the insights, which I have collected on my journeys.

I remain silent for a long time. Afterwards I hand over an article with the name CAMINO DE SANTIAGO. It is a summary about the adventure and key moments, which I have experienced on the ways.

Here is the article CAMINO DE SANTIAGO.

1.1 CAMINO DE SANTIAGO

TATA

I am interested today about the current development of the numbers of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Pilgrims are humans, who travel the last 100 km by foot or the last 200 km by bicycle towards Santiago de Compostela.

The Camino de Santiago is popular. But why is that so? I was walking the Camino de Santiago by myself, the Camino Francés and the Via de la Plata. At first I have seen the sporty challenge as my reason. Religious reasons play also an important role for pilgrims to connect stronger with God. The landscapes in Spain are fascinating. Above all the Spaniards give a new definition to the word temperament. The fellow pilgrims are talkative and are always open for discussions. One should not underestimate the spiritual dimension of these ways. Humans want to go more slowly through life. Uncountables are in a hurry and under permanent stress in everyday life. The reasons are complex, at least for the mind. Health, family, work, or money. They want to break out of the hamster wheel of endless consumption and live their life. Simply live, not so complicated.

I recognized that I was walking with higher attention on the way every day. This was leading me into deep meditation. So I have connected myself with the environment. The separation of inner and outer dissolves. You become one with the surroundings. You are working on a lot of past memories; the mental suffering becomes diminished with every step. The way gives you the energy to work on the problems. One becomes more present. The way gives everyone ideas for new projects. Nevertheless you are bound to the now. One plans his day, his route, his equipment, his refuge of destination. Problems will be tackled and thus dissolved. One recognizes himself in the humans, whom are on the way. Through the infinite conversations with the fellow pilgrims one knows himself again.

The ego, the past, and the future have no power. The now becomes more and more present. Only this one step counts. A high concentration is needed, to make this one step. The rest is repetition.

The Camino de Santiago gives us diverse, creative impulses. Inspirations, which are missing in everyday life.

I noticed on the journeys that I didn’t speak neither English nor Spanish. This experience has awaken the ambition to study intensively both languages. Stories shape this experience. I moved like lightning in the rat race. I was asking myself all questions of the world. I did not realize that my ego found always new ways. I was looking for the solution within my thoughts, but I never watched at my thoughts. I didn’t discover neither the deep consciousness, nor the time, nor the ego.

The ways of the earth have a different meaning to everyone. I got energy through the way, physically and mentally. I remind me of the way in difficult times and its positive energy.

The pilgrimage took hours, days and weeks. Every day was like a new life. New encounters, new landscapes. I have welcomed old fellow-traveller with special joy. Thus is created a feeling of belonging, of togetherness. It is like a big family. Blissful!

The way gives that to you, what you need, not what you want to have.

I have met various humans on the ways. A Brazilian. Three Chileans. An Australian. Two Spaniards.

I give them the space here to share their experience.

BRAZILIAN

I met on the Camino Francés a Brazilian Hospilatero and he had the following message:

“The Camino gives, what he and she wants to find.”

“It’s not important, what will be tomorrow or what was yesterday. You live now and not five minutes ago or five minutes later.”

“Yesterday is not important, tomorrow is not important. That, what you are doing at the moment, that is the most important in life.”

He expressed it in essence in this manner. His explanation took, remarkably, fifteen minutes.

CHILEANS

I met three chilean brothers on the Via de la Plata. It deeply impressed me, how they treat each other. What is their secret? How can they be so helpful and friendly towards each other? Always with respect and comprehension towards one another. They have shared their secrets with me:

Friendship between brothers and sisters.

Love between brothers and sisters.

Unity between brothers and sisters.

Support between brothers and sisters.

That´s all.

AUSTRALIAN

These words are by a friend of mine, Willow. He has written me a lot of messages, I find especially the following insights remarkable. He presented himself on the Camino Francés as a Songwriter. I remember that he was always eating chocolate.

“39klm was the distance travelled that day, physically. Emotionally and spiritually however, the distance can not be measured.”

“Tears welled in my eyes and a feeling unknown to me overwhelmed my entire being and carried me away to a whole new place, and from this place I could feel heaven, I was touched by my Angels, and God spoke to me calmly and fondly. A river of tears could not be stopped and I did not want them to even if I could have (and once would have), they were tears of joy, and of freedom, and of unconditional love.”

“Some pilgrims are walking a set amount of klm each day (as I did in the beginning) or are aiming to be at a set destination at days end (as I did in the beginning). The problem with this is that if you are seeking spiritual enlightenment you must remain open to the messages that 'upstairs' are trying to give. This may require silence, or require being still for more than one day, removing yourself from the way in which you always go about doing things.”

“To cut a very long story short the reason I was there was not to let go, but in fact to recieve. Something I am not very good at. I realised that to fully let go I needed to recieve. To fully recieve (unconditionally) I had to be humble. To be humble I had to let go of my ego.”

“Freedom does not have a face. There are no words or lyric set in stone. There is no particular place that you can travel to to recieve freedom if first you do not begin 'that' journey within. Freedom is in everything we do, everything we taste, everything we make, break, and/or fake, for within every moment we have the choice and the chance to begin 'that' journey.”

At the beginning I did not understand his insights at all. Much later, I understood some points clearly. Willow has shared his insights with me. I share his insights with you. Shared knowledge is double knowledge. Shared love is double love.

SPANIARDS

I took breakfast one day with two Spaniards from the older generation in a pilgrim refuge, the house of wisdom. Javier and Mecchulo. We talked about this and that. Everything seemed to be normal. This was my evaluation as an expert, although I didn’t understand any word in Spanish. Javier ate an apple. Mecchulo and I have finished with breakfast. Suddenly Javier swallowed the apple. I was shocked. What can I do? Javier didn’t say anything, he just pointed towards his throat. Mecchulo jumped up from the chair and grabbed Javier from behind. He embraced Javier from behind and pushed him very often against his breast. Javier spitted only water at first. Mecchulo looked at me and said that I should continue. I pushed with all my power against Javier´s chest. Then Mecchulo took over again. After a couple of minutes Javier’s condition improved. What a relief! He was able to speak again. Afterwards both started to run, as nothing had happened. I couldn’t keep this pace, and so I lost track of them.

This has shown me some things. How fast it happens, that everything turns around in life. At first you take your health as something natural. I have just enjoyed life. I felt invincible. As soon as there are illnesses, crises, or problems, the health has immediately a new priority. Other laws are governing from one moment to the next. For long time I wanted to be like I was before the quantum moment. Exactly this behaviour brought me into the crises. It is not possible to be in the future, like in the past.

It seems to me, that the human underlies exactly this madness. They are never satisfied. Something is never perfect. One day you want to lose 5 kilos. Another day you want to gain 5 kilos. Depending on the current fashion trend. One is never satisfied with what is here now. What is real now. Constantly one is crying for more money. More vacation. More houses. More time. More cars. Always more. There is never something enough. Where shall end this madness? That can end only in the valley of big tears. Someday one swallows the neverending consumption. Like Javier with an apple. If there is nobody to help, then everything will be kept in the throat. The inner dissatisfaction shall be equalized with outer consumption. This is not possible.

I realize, that consumption is fine. This should not go into the extremes. Not too much. Not too little. How much consumption is good? This decision has to be made every day, every moment. The house of wisdom has taught me one thing. I can get everything, reach everything, and realize everything in life. Always with the certainty, that nothing is for sure. Every thing can end in every moment.

The short story with Javier, Mecchulo and me is based on a true story. It happened on the Camino de Santiago, the Via de la Plata in Spain. For me it was a real lesson.

I thank all man which I met and still will meet. I end this article with a quote, which I have read on one of my ways.

„To reach the destiny seemed to us the most important, but now it is the way.“

Alto do Poio (Spain), 21.04.1992, Origin Unknown

The pilgrim looks on the article. She seems to be pensive and surprised at the same time. She wanted to have details and signposts. What has to be carried in the backpack? What is useful? What is necessary? I didn’t say anything about that. She leaves the room being a little disappointed. Nevertheless she takes the article with her.

2. ROLES

An athlete runs in the room.

He wants to know everything from me, Tata, how he can improve in a sporty way.

As well as physically as mentally.

How many hours he has to train? How often he has to train daily? His goal is to become the greatest football player of the world. Money and women play also an important role.

I remain quiet.

After some time I hand over to the ambitious athlete the article PLAYER, PILGRIM, STUDENT, MAN.

2.1 PLAYER, PILGRIM, STUDENT, MAN

I have played soccer for many years. I have played so long until an injury stopped me. I recovered from that. I began to play in a higher league. I trained until a collapse. I played hardly a match. I have gone until my limits. I was too ambitious. I was possessed for a long time by the dream, to be wealthy, to have money, to have a big house, to be famous. I wanted to be respected by others for what I can do. Not for what I am. I was completely imprisoned by the material world. My ego did not want to get rid of the fear of a possible defeat. I wanted to be the greatest soccer player in the universe. I wanted to win always. Always more. Always farther. Always higher. I lost more and more in doing so. It went so far, that I seemed to be in a good shape physically, although mentally I was tired.

During this time I have read a report about the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I want to do it in any case. A challenge, physically and mentally. The final test. Some months later I walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Respect. I have walked many kilometres. I have collected many impressions. It was a difficult journey. I got used to the long distances very fast. I was physically in a good shape. Particularly called me my spirit, my soul. A fellow pilgrim once said, that I move like a clock. All the time with a lot of energy, uphill and downhill. Always in the same rhythm. I was not able to adapt me to the individual character of the way. I was on an ego trip as a soccer player. As a pilgrim I wanted to do stuff differently. I did not want to have a lot of material things. Now I want to acquire knowledge in a high rhythm.

In this way I developed interest for languages. Especially in the area of Psychology I find it interesting, how the human functions. I removed myself from my goals on the outer level. My ego has identified less with material things, but with intellectual knowledge. The new topics were languages, psychology, and economy. These topics were my new i, where I have identified with. Career. I want this now. For many years I told all people that I do not care about material wealth. My life, the perfect career. This was the plan until the physical death. The ego identification moved away from the material level and towards the intellectual level. I was caught in my own little world. My ego has developed itself to megalomania. Everything shall be perfect, tidy and under control. All interruptions were perceived like a personal insult during this process. And sometimes I have not talked to other man for years which have crossed my path with completely trivial stuff.

Relationships and conversations with fellow man were a means to an end. I was always occupied by planning the future in a perfect manner. As a result I ignored the present moment. This was obvious in the study. I studied for longer time at different universities. I have never thought about the idea that something like safety may not exist. I raised my ambition and perfectionism towards the extreme. Everything was subordinated to the career. The last places of the priority list were reserved for relationships, health, and joy. I studied like crazy. I have passed all exams. At the end of the program the final thesis was missing. Suddenly I had fallen very deep and for my fellow man I became crazy indeed.

I desired recognition, status, safety, money, and knowledge. That was more important than listening to my soul. It does not matter how much I have. It does not matter how much I know. It is more important and easier to recognize that I am simply. I AM. Thus more can be developed. I am not my little ego. I am consciousness, which expresses itself through this body in the world. The thoughts are not the problem. However, I have identified with thoughts and thus created my ego. I fed for long time this false self-image. At first the ego has identified itself with the body. The ego has clung to the thoughts, when my body was not functioning very well. Nonetheless, I am neither my body, nor my thoughts. I am infinite consciousness.

I am here as man. I have occupied different roles as a player, pilgrim, or student. As man I will continue the journey. It will be seen, where my way in life will continue. One possibility is that I am one with the moment, with everything that is. The time has dissolved. I am free. I am not a slave of my limited believes, rules, and thoughts.

The athlete examines once again his values. His mindset, not his pulse. He expected practical advices for training. On the contrary I gave him an insight, how someone can lose himself in different roles. Of course one can experience everything that is possible in this world. It is a limited view, to lose yourself in your own ambition and to look only on the body. The sum of man consists of more than the purely physical construct of the body. To comprehend this, goes far beyond the rational mind.

3. MINIMALISM

A computer specialist enters the chat room.

I welcome him.

The computer specialist explains his situation. He is surrounded by a lot of things. He has no overall view of his life situation. His life seems to him like a chaos. He has to do a lot of stuff and he has a lot of stuff. He wants to have more clarity.

I rummage around for old documents under the bed. I believe that an article could help him.

I send the article WHAT DOES A MAN NEED? to the computer specialist in the chat room.

3.1 WHAT DOES A MAN NEED?

During one life a human consumes 999 animals. How terrible! That makes me thoughtful. I have the question: What does a man really need for living? The answer is surprisingly simple. Astonishingly it is very little: Something to drink. Something to eat. Some clothes. And a place to sleep for the night. I ask myself now following question: How much stuff do I have? I will start to make a list with the things I have. It takes a while... Some time later.

Well! I have made a short list. I have count 600 objects up to now. This is a lot. I have not yet count everything. I have surely more than 1,000 things. The time has come now, to get rid of some stuff. To throw away. To give away. To sell. To donate. Now I begin with that. At first with the clothes. I donate many clothes. It is likely, that someone needs them. Furthermore I sell my books and movies. It is a great relief, to separate from things and to let these go.

With that I would like to examine shortly the spiritual aspect. The distinction nowadays between doing, having, and being in the current Zeitgeist. A lot of man lives in permanent stress. They are lost in doing something constantly. To have more stuff, which they do not need. Just to accumulate wealth. In doing so it is rather a disadvantage for being. To be present in the here and now, you do not need anything. If one realizes, that no material thing can give permanent happiness, then you are enlightened. Of course, you can be happy with your wealth. You should not identify with it. Above all, if there is no material wealth, you can meditate and listen very well to stillness. There is nothing that could distract you.

At the moment we are doing something. We are reading these lines for example. This takes its time in the respective life situation. Having includes all material things. The more things you have, the more energy you have. Especially the things want to have attention from our consciousness. Too much things absorb energy again and thus attention. Being is the timeless condition here and now. Everything that is here, is now. Life is manifested in the now. To live life as conscious as possible, that is my meaning of life. I relinquish some things. I eat less meat. At least as little as possible and as much as necessary.

I live for years with as less luggage as possible. There are phases, when I have more or less. I came across the term minimalism some weeks ago. I carry constant ballast with me. I have hardly material ballast. I have rather emotional ballast. I try to order my stuff and my thoughts now.

I am mucking out old stuff for weeks. I have donated clothes. I sold books and movies. I sorted out old documents. I deleted many photos, in total 6 gigabyte. I deleted my profiles in social networks. It consumed too much time. I have deleted my accounts at internet shops, which wanted to entice me into consuming always more. I have cancelled my memberships in clubs, because I did not use its offers any longer. I cancelled a magazine subscription. I cancelled old insurance contracts. I cancelled my bank accounts. And I gave much broken stuff into the waste containers.

I am on the path to simplify my life. I would like to spend more time in nature. Living simple, plain, and calmly. I spent one night in the forest. It was something new, just having a few things around me. And still, I had everything necessary to survive. I feel comfortable with less stuff around me. This leads me to more clarity of the perception of consciousness. I try to release me from the chains of past. To have less stuff means to me, to have more time to live consciously. Above all to enjoy the here and now in the nature.

I philosophize about my lifestyle. I face the following challenges in order to expand my comfort zone.

I take a shower with cold water for 7 days.

I sleep on the ground for 14 days.

I walk barefoot for seven days for 15 minutes daily.

I relinquish the internet for seven days.

I challenge myself, to leave the bubble of restrictive concepts. It was tough at the beginning. Since then I got used to the small big change in my lifestyle. I want to live more natural. Not so far away from nature. Feeling the hot sun. Listening to the raging wind. Tasting the cold water. Touching the smooth sand. Just irresistible! And with that not to forget the conscious breathing. The small steps provoke the greatest changes.

Here is my report of experiences, to amplify my comfort zone.

FIRST CHALLENGE

I take a shower with ice-cold water. At first I had to get used to it a lot. I took a shower for quite some time, because the water was really cold. It is such a great feeling. I am awake and full of energy. My conclusion: From now on I take a shower only with cold water.

SECOND CHALLENGE

I sleep on the ground. I could hardly sleep the first night. This has clearly improved. I do not need a blanket. I do not need a pillow. Now I can imagine a life without a bed. Wait a second! I would just have an empty room. Wait and see. The beds until now were always too soft for me. Now I realize that I can sleep very well on hard ground. My conclusion: I sleep now on the ground. Forever? I do not know. In any case I do it as long as I like it.

THIRD CHALLENGE

Walking barefoot. I like to walk barefoot on the beach. Can I do it in everyday life too? I walked barefoot on short ways. I was walking on grounds like grass and stone. It is exciting to gain new experiences. It is like a massage for the food. It is pleasant to walk on soft grass. At first I had to get used to the hard ground of stone. I feel good, when the ground is different. It is a good experience. Now I go barefoot more frequently. I do not have the goal, to walk barefoot in every season of the year. Maybe it develops itself towards this direction. Who knows? On one hand I am calm because of the experiences I made. On the other hand I am curious, what life still has to offer.

FOURTH CHALLENGE

I am offline for one week. I think it is quite easy. I discover very fast, that I am online for many hours. And that every day. And that for years. Thus I am addicted to be always online. I am not able to disconnect myself. I listen to music online. I watch videos online. I am connected with internet from morning to night. That is enough. Now I perceive other things. I have suddenly so much time without internet. I do not need music, movies, or videos. This program is there all day. I feel the moment in its diversity. Without distractions. Simply being here and now. To relax. To enjoy. To move. Simply being natural. My conclusion: Maybe I cannot relinquish the internet for always, because I get some inspirations from the tube as well. I use the internet consciously. Especially I like the stillness, when I am offline now and then.

Okay! Those were my four challenges. I hope the one or the other takes on the challenges of life. Thus to live more freely and to amplify the comfort zone.

The computer specialist has left the chat room. He informed me, that he is doing immediately a sabbatical year. Without internet.

4. BLESSED MEAL

A woman enters the field.

I am tired.

She presents herself as the ecotrophologist.

She bombards me with many questions.

How is your nutrition? Which vitamins do you take? How do you get the nutrients? How much calories do you consume daily? How often do you eat during the day? How many litres do you drink daily? Do you drink water carbonated or still? Do you drink out of plastic bottles or glass bottles? Do you drink coffee? Do you drink tea? Do you eat chocolate? Do you eat meat? Et cetera, et cetera.

I have already dealt with all questions somehow.

I search in my documents. I discover an article, which I have written some month ago.

I hand over the article to the ecotrophologist.

She receives the article with enthusiasm. She reads through the article. She is confused now. Why? Read and listen the article with your own eyes and ears. You will find it out.

Here is the article SUN.

4.1 SUN

Everything is light, nothing is darkness. There is just the decision, whether we are everything in light, or whether we are nothing in darkness. The fact, that you are reading these lines, signifies, that I come from the light. This is a calm thought.

I have studied the different eating habits of man for some time. I have realized some points, which I would like to describe here. I am referring to the following types of nutrition: Nutrition with meat, nutrition without meat, nutrition with raw food, nutrition of sunlight. And all different types of nutrition between them. I think these extreme forms of nutrition are ridiculous. There is no correct diet. That, which has universal validity for everyone and for always. Whom who wants to nourish himself consciously, listens to his body, to his mind, and to his soul.

Here are some points which apply for all kinds of diets. I am not a medical practitioner. I do not give advice, what you have to eat or not. I am simply. I feel simply. I just want to show, which points helped me and could be useful for others. You have the responsibility almost always of your diet.

I do not go the extreme ways. I am in the midst. I listen to my body. That one does know, what is necessary. Depending on the situation, place, and time the nutrition is always different. No day is like the other. Yesterday was different. Today is different. Tomorrow will be different.

Little hint: To look at the food or drink and ask yourself immediately: Do I really want to have this in my body? The thinker says Yes, but the reason says NO. Or vice versa. No matter which answer arises, I am calm and not so strict with myself. I taste from everything, what I like. I nourish myself freely. I allow myself all things. I can forbid myself everything as well. Just not to an excess. Because in excess all foods can be toxic. It is toxic as well, to receive no energy at all. And to give anything at all.

I feel it and you feel it. And it is important, not to listen to the thinker and its memories. If you want to eat a pizza, then do not put much importance on your memories please. The thinker says Yes, but the reason says No. In this case you should listen to your reason. A clear sign for a wrong decision is, when you feel tired after the meal. A good sign is, when you are vital and full of energy after the meal.

The inner nourishment is composed in the following way. The ingredients are sunlight, rich food, liquid food, fresh air, love, and a wise spirit. Out of them consists the inner nourishment for man.

There is no 100% healthy food, that is good and in order. There is no 100% unhealthy food, that is bad and not in order. The balance is crucial! These two aspects depend on each other. Order does not live without a little bit of chaos. Chaos does not live without a little bit of order. No matter what somebody says or writes, nobody knows, which food is suitable for whom. And when, how, and where you should eat it. You have to find that out by yourself! Being flexible. Eating balanced. Neither eating too much nor too little. Eating with pleasure. Eating with patience.

More important than anything I eat or do in general, is, that I am conscious. I am awake. I am here. I am now. I am manifested in being. Then I decide on this basis, what I eat or do. Being. Thinking. Doing. I listen to my soul, my mind, and my body. I consist of these elements. The one cannot live without the other. I love, what I eat or do. The thoughts simply dissolve. I am consciously present. I like everything. No matter if it is sweet, salty, bitter or sour. Life has just many tastes.

The ecotrophologist is very polite and grateful. She leaves the field. She has no questions anymore.

5. CHALLENGE

I am looking thoughtfully through the window towards outside.

Someone is knocking on the door.

An elegant sir with charisma enters the room.

I call the man counsellor of relationships.

The counsellor tells a lot and does not say anything.

I suppose the counsellor has problems that he cannot resolve so easily.

The counsellor explains his problems of relationships.

I develop an approach to improve these relationships.

We develop together the article RELATIONSHIPS.

5.1 RELATIONSHIPS

Relation towards the father: Work

Situation: My father wants that I work. I do not want it. I see it totally different. The work does not give me joy. That is an old game for me. I do not see any legitimacy for its existence. Everybody suffers under the pressure of work. I strive for vacation and freedom. I have dreams. Hiking, dancing, reading. This is a new paradigm without work, without obligation. My father lives in his world and works every day.

Approach: There is always something to do. The purpose of work is to protect the own existence. Money is earned for the exchange of lifetime. The work gives the feeling of stability and safety in life. Your father clings on to that. The father-son relationship is at all times a tough exam. The son calls for love and trust. The father demands independence and success. If your father wants from you that you work, then do it in your manner. Live your life. Visit a new country. Write a book about its culture. You can do everything, but you don´t have to. Listen to your father, he teaches you key lessons. You cannot read these lessons in any book of the world. Your father is there for a reason. We grow in life with each challenge.

Relation towards the Mother: Meal

Situation: There are constantly discussions about my nutrition. I do not want to eat meat. My mother does not like it at all. She says that a friend of her ate only cereals and therefore died early. That has effected me profoundly. How comes that my opinions and decisions are not accepted in my direct environment? I travelled a long way to gain new insights. And now I cannot use my knowledge in daily life.

Approach: The mother wants to protect the son from mistakes and wounds. The son wants to make his own experiences in this process. The subject of nutrition has an enormous potential for conflicts in human relationships. The approach here should be to find a common solution. Listen carefully to your body. It is prohibited to eat meat. It is just allowed to eat fruits. Free yourself from dogmatic believes. It is never just the one or the other morally and ethically correct. The development of consciousness needs the illusion of time. The time is changing, the generations are changing. Everything is in flow. You should be very lucky, that your mother cares about you. You were walking many paths together. You will walk many paths together. Sometimes it is necessary, to walk the path separately. At the end we are all united, like at the beginning of time.

Relation towards the brother: United

Situation: The -I am you, and you are me- conversation. I have a vision. We are all united. In any case I wanted to share it with my brother, but he did not understand me. I am you. He has denied that. He is convinced of that he is not me. He is my brother. He never wants to bear me out. He always wants to provoke me.

Approach: There are few man, who likes to have a know-it-all in his family. Here it is appropriate to remain quiet. If you cannot share your thoughts, then write it down for the moment. Sometimes it is easier to share the thoughts with a sheet of paper, than with a man. You can write a book about your thoughts and theories. Only man needs time to recognize, that time is irrelevant. Allow your brother the time to gain his experience. Your way is not his way. It is rather so that your ways will cross very often. If he sees himself as separated from everything, then it is just his current perception.

Relation towards the sister: Time

Situation: She did not believe me. I had read scientific articles about the illusion of time. I wanted to share that with her in any case. She believes that I am crazy. And that I need more friends. This statement did really hurt me.

Approach: If the time is something real for your sister, then it is so in her current perception too. Give her the time. Give her the space. Thus the consciousness can be sharpened for certain aspects. We recognize at the end of space, that time is redundant. Often the following phrase is repeated like a mantra: I DO NOT HAVE TIME. There is the possibility that nobody has time. We are here now.

Relation towards the uncle: Party

Situation: The relationship towards the uncle is bad. I want to study quietly. He wants to celebrate loudly. I shall be every week at the celebration of the family. I want to prepare myself above all for the exams at the university. He is in a bad mood. Each day there is trouble with him. He is surrounded by a lot of negative energy. When I am in his presence, he explodes almost always in rage.

Approach: Work hard, play hard. You can study until the point you feel good with that. You can celebrate with your uncle, when you considerate this as appropriate. Your uncle just wants to help you to understand something. You do not have to neglect the relation towards your family, just because you have individual goals or dreams. Your uncle understands you. Keep remember the following: There are always times to rest. And there are always times to celebrate. Life has infinite pages. If you study, others want you to celebrate. If you celebrate, others want you to study. The one is not there without the other. There are distractions on each journey. Go your way. Do, what you think. Just do not think too much.

Relation towards the aunt: Self-esteem

Situation: I have achieved great results at the university. I have told the results always to my aunt, and she has reacted always negatively. Positive words came out of her mouth, but her face yelled of pure envy. That was a defeat for my self-worth.

Approach: Try to respect and to appreciate your aunt, like she is. Everyone wants the best for you. Maybe she is envious. Her behaviour is independent from your results. Listen to you. Listen to your heart. You can learn from her. You can give her new theoretical knowledge. She can support you with her practical experience of life. It is not important, how she thinks about you. It is important, how you think about yourself. Be honest to yourself. It is unimportant, how the others think about you. You cannot change your fellow man. But you can change your perspective towards your fellow man. Love yourself. Thus you love the others.

The counsellor is once happy, that he could talk about his family relationships. Because one thing is clear to me: Who is able to talk about his problems, has already solved the half of them.

6. IMAGINATION

A woman appears in my dream.

Lala, the interpreter of dreams.

She asked me about my dreams.

At the same time I listen to her Interpretations.

Thus the article DREAM LANGUAGE was created.

6.1 DREAM LANGUAGE

Some man has experience with lucid dreams. The numbers of man with such experiences are constantly increasing. I have some experiences with lucid dreams. I am conscious in the dream that I am dreaming. Apart from that I have other kinds of dreams. The dreams indicate certain occurrences that I shall be conscious about. At first I look at the dream, than I interpret them, and finally I learn from it. Sometimes the dreams have the mission to call your attention towards your fear. It does not have to do necessarily with the actual situation. Sometimes it happens to me and I am in another epoch. In another environment, which I still recognize.

Here are my partly unusual dreams from the recent years with the interpretation by Lala, the interpreter of dreams.

WATER OF REJUVENATION

Everybody is working. It is a great atmosphere. Everybody is delighted. And I saw suddenly the heaven on earth. I have invented the water of rejuvenation. Everybody takes a sip and thus cultivates his inner I. Like a baby. This brings man into a harmonious relationship with the earth.

Lala: You wish immortality.

ZEITGEIST

I meet creatures in my dreams, which interrupt my dream memory. I call this species the modern destroyer of Zeitgeist. If I collide with something or somebody during a dream, then the dream will be interrupted and the current Zeitgeist will be deleted. This serves merely for protection, so that someone does not lose himself within the dream.

Lala: You are a warrior in your own dream.

JUTTO

One morning the word Jutto suddenly appears on my mobile phone. I cannot remember me that I have written down this word. This word does not say anything to me. Maybe I find soon an answer for this mysterious word.

Lala: You want to defend yourself. You want to learn judo.

GAME

I play soccer in this dream. The coach has made the decision that I am not allowed to play in his team. Why? Because I said that I am dead. I have referred to the end of the ego, not the physical death. For me it is like a parallel world.

Lala: You are not dead. You are alive in this moment.

RACE

I dream of a race of light, which is faster than one yoctosecond. Some incredible creatures take part in this type of race. They are faster than light.

Lala: You see yourself as an unusual creature with extraordinary abilities.

SPACE

When did you lose your ego? I can create my own dream space or visit another dream space. At this moment, here and now, many are created and many are visited.

Lala: It can be frightening to recognize his true strength.

AUTOGRAPH

Paulo Coelho has visited me in my country. My wife was in the house as well. I have looked desperately for a book, so that Paulo can sign it. I have not found any book. My wife has given me a banknote. I wanted to have an autograph by Paulo on the banknote. Then I woke up. Alone. Without a house. Without money. Without Paulo. Without wife. A nightmare. Then I woke up again. What is going on here? Am I still dreaming or is it reality now?

Lala: You desire to be a poet.

PARTY

I am celebrating my self. I am fascinated by the party with my friends and enemies. I enjoy it. I love it. I kiss my friends and I embrace my enemies. There are man and creatures present here. I receive many gifts. I receive what I need. My visitors share their consciousness and their presence with me.

Lala: You wish more sociability. Incomprehensible, but true.

ELECTRICITY

At the end of a dream a policeman woke me up with an electroshock.

Lala: You are afraid of electricity.

DEADLY WOUND

I was killed by a weapon. Consequently I woke up.

Lala: You are afraid of weapons. And the repercussions like pain, struggle, and suffering.

GOAL

I have played soccer in front of one trillion spectators. And that with a very small ball. It has been a fantastic feeling, just being on the soccer field. When I scored a goal against the best goalkeeper in the world, I could not continue to play. I woke up.

Lala: You like to play soccer. The goals are not important for you. The beautiful way already feels to you like the goal.

FLY

I was in a restaurant at the beginning of the dream. I have seen myself in the television. I spoke about relativity, dreams, and time. I asked myself: What is reality? In the same moment I was aware of that I am dreaming. I am dreaming consciously. Later on I left the restaurant and I was flying. An incredible feeling. I AM FLYING. I AM FLYING. I AM FLYING. The great awakening comes faster than I can think.

Lala: You want to fly. You are distracted considerably by the things around you. You do not recognize therefore, that you are already flying.

COSMOS

This is the dream of the parallel universes. I went to a hospital. There I presented myself with the words I AM TATA. A white man asked me what I mean exactly with the statement I AM. He asked me a lot of questions. Suddenly his head exploded. At the end he seemed to be more dead than alive. Then I have seen brothers with green, red, yellow, and black skin. The brothers looked quite similar; however they came from different worlds. Then the realization came to me: There are parallel universes.

Lala: You learn to experience and to control the dreams consciously. That is dangerous and exciting at the same time.

BATTLE

I have dreamed during a dream. In the evening I have played soccer with friends. We had a lot of fun. I was surprised. Because I was suddenly at a party. I have not seen any ball. I have paid with gold and silver for the entrance. The menu of the day was bratwurst with beer. A great exchange. I do not know anybody in Asia, but I know a few man in South America. Hmmm? Where does this thought come from. After this thought I have been in a terminal with infinite screens. My perception was influenced in a manipulated manner. There were many creatures present. A force obliged me to look on the screens. I have defended myself with the words respect, love, and light. Many warriors were coming. I was fighting against them. I wanted to run away and to hide somewhere. The unknown force has found me. And it has killed me.

Lala: You play with the forces of light and darkness within the dream. There is nothing more dangerous.

LESSON

I am at a farm. I see cows, pigs, and sheeps. We are talking about the importance of the present moment.

Lala: The present moment is important. But not everything. This moment could not exist without you. Only through your perspective everything exists, that is present now. You see yourself separated from this instant. Don’t you
