Jake's Summary

What is the deadliest thing of all? … Life!

Compared to classical practices, I find the WH the most flexible. Unlike usual meditation practices, the WH seems to have no direction or directives, its content and focus change everyday. It is exactly like doing scientific research; we can at any point change our focus or main ideas of investigation. In a way, it adapts itself to each of us and seems to lead us always deeper.

I continued to question Time. It triggered a strange picture. Our body attracts our consciousness and our consciousness is attracted to our body. The more you cling to things the more your consciousness stick to the body. It is impressive to see the strength of our needs. We need our needs. We have been told since childhood that having dreams and wishing for things is very noble. The problem is that we forget that the real objective is not the goal but the walk.

Why am I afraid to loose myself in the beautiful? Questions about the Ego replaced the questions about Time. Questioning the Ego made my body react very strongly. It does not like to be challenged! Well, since kind and quiet explanations to my Ego did not work, I officially declare war to Mr. Ego. I can tell you something Mr. Ego: There is no time, therefore there are no needs, which means that you do not exist. It is not the real me who is afraid of the beautiful, it is my Ego, because the real me IS beautiful.
