„Imi tin ochii larg deschisi. Privesc cu atentie formele si culorile de sub mine, in timp ce ma tarasc in patru labe pe podea. Ating un covor si el ma atinge la randul lui. Totul mi se pare stralucitor si plin de viata.
Iau o lingura in mana mea micuta si lovesc cu ea o ceasca. Clinchetul produs imi desfata urechile. De fericire, tip din toate puterile! […] Sunt ridicat in brate si incep sa ganguresc. Scaldat in parfumul mamei mele, corpul meu se relaxeaza in bratele ei, iar eu ma umplu de fericire.
Ceva mai tarziu, simt o boare de aer rece care imi izbeste fata in tip ce ma tarasc prin gradina. Florile minunat colorate sunt mult mai inalte decat mine si tot felul de miresme se revarsa asupra mea. Smulg o floare si incerc sa musc din ea. Gura mi se umple de un gust amar…” – Calea luptatorului pasnic – Dan Millman
O plenitudine de senzatii feerice smulse dintr-o scena cotidina banala. Nimic nu se compara cu aceasta descriere minutioasa a unor efecte tactile si senzoriale miraculoase, un fragment care ne face sa ne reintoarcem la kilometrul zero al starii de fapt. Cand eram copii, fiecare lucru din jur ne fascina. Miracolul existentei ne inconjura in fiecare clipa, in orice loc. Nimic nu avea o explicatie, pentru ca nu asta ne interesa. Tot ce faceam era sa ne bucuram de A FI.
Urmeaza apoi perioada guvernata de intrebarea: „De ce?„. O etapa benefica, pentru ca atunci incepem sa intelegem lucrurile.
Dar, ca parinte sau ca orice fel de invatator, incepi sa nu mai acorzi atentie intrebarilor si raspunsurilor. Astfel, copii incep sa invete orice le spui. Cand cresc, ajung sa vada diferente intre ce le-ai spus si ce au descoperit singuri, traind. Asa ca, un copil nu are decat putine optiuni: ori iti intelege limita umana, fara a te condamna, ori incepe sa nege orice ii mai spui de astazi inainte. Incepe sa caute raspunsurile singur. Pana in momentul trist in care ajunge sa creada ca le stie deja.
Ne incarcam zilnic cu infomatii care de care mai eronate si mai inutile. Lucruri fara sens si fara vreo incarcatura morala, utila, functionala. Lucruri fara noima care incep sa ne striveasca deoarece zilnic viata merge inainte, si ne lasa captivi in gandurile noastre, in informatiile noastre, in prejudecati, in conceptii gresite, in judecati fara valoare, in minciuni de tot soiul. Si asa incepe alienarea. Fata de noi insine, si fata de cei din jur.
„Orice copil traieste intr-o Gradina stralucitoare in care simturile ii vorbesc direct, fara intermediul gandirii – fara convingeri, interpretari sau judecati de valoare.
Ai <<cazut>> din aceasta stare de gratie atunci cand ai inceput sa gandesti despre lucruri, cand ai inceput sa dai nume si sa cunosti. Nu doar Adam si Eva au cazut din Gradina Edenului, cu totii trecem prin acest proces. Nasterea mintii inseamna moartea simturilor.”
Ce putem face pentru a ne reintoarce la acea stare de vis? Sa redevenim acel copilas ingenuu. Poate ca asta nu ne va ajuta in viata profesionala, dar asta numai daca nu stim cum sa facem diferenta intre statutul de angajat, creator, angajator – si starea noastra interna, de fapt. Si asta se aplica fiecarui domeniu din viata noastra, fie ca apartine vietii sociale, sentimentale, familiale, etc…
Ceea ce facem noi nu ne defineste decat daca asta ne dorim. Ceea ce ne defineste ar trebui sa fie ceea ce suntem. Ceea ce simtim. Ceea ce gandim. Ceea ce facem este abia rezultatul final al acestei congruente: sa faci ceea ce gandesti. Sa spui ceea ce gandesti. Si gandirea sa fie rezultatul a ceea ce simti… Abia atunci cand intre aceste lucruri exista o armonie, ne reintoarcem in echilibrul original. Restul este doar o perceptie eronata a lumii asupra noastra, si a noastra asupra lumii.
„Daca ai fi copil, toate aceste lucruri ti-ar atinge pentru prima oara simturile: vazul, auzul, mirosul… Intre timp, tu ai invatat sa dai nume tuturor lucrurilor, incadrandu-le in categorii: <<Cutare e bun, cutare e rau, aia e o masa, asta e un scaun, aia e o masina, o casa, o floare, un caine, o pisica, o gaina, un barbat, o femeie, un apus de soare, un ocean, o stea>> . Lucrurile au inceut sa te plictiseasca pentru simplul motiv ca ele nu exista pentru tine decat in calitate de nume. Conceptele aride din mintea ta iti intuneca perceptia directa.”
First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question that I’d
like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to find out how you
center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my
mind in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually
wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Many thanks!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate your efforts and I am waiting for your further
post thanks once again.
Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa?
My site discusses a lot of the same topics as
yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you are interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to
hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
I was extremely pleased to find this page. I want to to thank you for your time for
this particularly wonderful read!! I definitely loved every little
bit of it and i also have you saved to fav to look at new things on your website.
Thanks , I’ve just been searching for information approximately this subject for
ages and yours is the best I have came upon till now. However, what
in regards to the bottom line? Are you certain about the supply?
Howdy! I simply wish to offer you a big thumbs
up for your great info you have got right here on this post.
I am returning to your web site for more soon.
Hi there, just wanted to tell you, I enjoyed this article.
It was inspiring. Keep on posting!
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find
this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to
get the hang of it!
It’s the best time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy.
I have read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you some interesting things or advice.
Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article.
I desire to read even more things about it!
I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter
a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and without
a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which not enough people are speaking
intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my hunt for something relating to this.
I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot
more useful than ever before.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all
is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty
penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any tips
or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
