27.05.2001 - Interpretation of dali48
Our desire leads, together with the temporary nature of our lives, to pain by longing for something that is in the future, we lose the experience of the present. - When we grasp and hold it, it changes (see e.g. "love" etc. - d.48). - When we move into the future or linger in the past, we give up the only true experience we can rely on: the present moment! - Moreover, our satisfaction does not last. - Joy does not come from the fact that we finally make the experience or win the object we were looking for but from the diminution of desire, this brief moment before the next desire. - While this moment fades, we try to hold on to it or repeat it - In the face of the fleeting nature of our existence, we try to keep control! - When we reach a goal or fulfill a desire, it changes - Change causes anxiety and pain, and we continue with our further search for satisfaction even more strongly to what we have accumulated so far. - The act had been done. - There was no going back; it was impossible to recapture the past (i.e. mindfulness about doing, speaking, thinking, etc. - d.48)! - Many people get a taste for their own death by almost fatal accidents, - by diseases, - by violence, - or by addictions (see cigarettes, alcohol etc. - d.48)! - When we stand before the last gate, we learn that with the exception of suicide - no one will have any control when and where death will occur. - If we accept that our physical bodies die, then we recognize at a certain point that we will not be able to hold on to our possessions, roles, or relationships forever. - We may be shocked by the insight that we do not possess our children - They are borrowed to us. - The fear of death and our unwillingness to acknowledge and accept it are often motivating factors for our attachment and our addictions ...
