Wise men

As long as we do not recognise our own mistakes,
the motives why we act in such and such a way
we share our mistakes with others,
with the world and everyone around us
with ominous consequences

So the politician, so the whole person
Who is not aware of it.

Wise people belong at the top
Not those who cover up their mistakes
Not even knowing or taking them seriously
Who fulfil their calling responsibly,
Not for the sake of money
Or for the sake of power,
but who are honourably aware
of their own shortcomings.
Thus wise people who know themselves
And with this knowledge know the people.

That is not politics,
that is spirituality:
“Man know thyself…”

Man will have to learn at a very high cost

Keep the highest goal

Blinded mind

Blinded spirit,
glittering gold
that is none.
Sirens in the head,
promise more

Vicious traps
take you captive.
Whisper all the time
to possess
treasures of power
and wealth,
immortal prestige
without meaning or purpose.
As a ghost
on the wall,
corrupted fantasy,
reckless madness

Look closely,
free yourself from it.
Start with honesty
towards yourself…

Two forces in us

There is a destructive force in us
But also one that creates, that connects,
resting in light and silence.

Two forces pull together,
a rollercoaster of feelings and thoughts,
producing one or the other.

An abyss lies between them,
over which a bridge leads,
with the wind of echoes at your back.

Where does the path lead us at the moment?
mostly uncontrolled, without questions,
following without knowledge, in monotony.

We watch the hustle and bustle powerlessly,
as slaves of our minds,
ignorant of its content.

If we listen to the thin voice,
that seems to whisper inside us,
we untie the knot of slavery.

Walking the golden path of the midway…
