Mystici & Metaforen

Cartoon The Fourth Way


_6.gif "Mystici can only speak in vague words."

"Words are not capable to express their vast experience, they are too small, hence they have to use vague words, symbols, meta-phors, poetry, parables." 

"Whatsoever is being said here is metaphori-cal."

_6.gif "Don't become a victim of imagination." 

"A metaphor has to be understood and drop-ped and forgotten. 
A metaphor is dangerous.
If you take it too seriously, you miss the point. A metaphor is only an indicator, it is a way of saying." 

"Many people are in deep murky waters
because of this: they cling to the metaphor.
I talk about the inner light ~ immediately after a few days people start coming to me, they say: 'I have seen the inner light!' ~ they have found the roses in the other world. They don't exist there.
Because of this metaphorical language, many people simply become imaginative."

_6.gif "Pay attention to the witness; focus on the witness and not on the experiences. Howso-ever beautiful, all experiences are dreamlike and one has to go beyond all of them." 

"And you have to come to a point where there is no experience; only the experiencer sits in his abode silently ~ no experience anywhere, no object, no light, no flowers flowering, no-nothing."
