07.11.1999 - Interpretation of dali48
This is the complete failure of the Jewish-Christian world image (illusion). It is about a loss of love (generally and) to the real, a loss of the center in every field (see polarization etc. - d.48). - It seems after all that neither Aristotle nor Jesus nor Marx have a way out for this universal crisis. - Zen does not offer a promise of an earthly and supernatural paradise. - Japanese Zen masters refer to the gospel (Bible), to the Christian mystics, to poets like Goethe, to philosophers like Bergson etc. - "God" is never spoken in Zen even though it is not denied. - Christ and Buddha are identical (see prophets, etc. - d.48), but no gods (which "God" could be voluntarily nailed by people on the cross? - d.48). - Zen is deeply suspicious of all external and internal perceptions, whose permanence is denied (see constant change etc. - d.48). - Zen offers to those who have no metaphysical faith (see "God" etc. - d.48) anymore, and who ask for a meaning of life (see e.g. V. Frankl etc. - d.48), - a living and irreplaceable experience. - Zazen releases us from everything, leaving only the nothingness. - Pain, frailty, and misfortune are still not completely overcome, for our sensibility increases by long exercises. - Zen mediates inner distance, but does not reject joy, body, soul, sensitivity etc. - Before me the nothingness. Without fear, without anybody, without you, without me. - So it will also be at the moment of my death. - You who can not come, who you are myself (see Freud's superego - d.48). - Tillich suspects "a God over God", a real "God" (and not a Christmas man for adults, see e.g. Nicholas memorial in Turkey, see Christ Child and Easter Bunny for Children - d.48), who has nothing to do anymore with the narrow-minded icon of the antropomorphic tradition ...
