$10 TRILLION HYPNOSIS.

"Leaders are just starting to come to terms with the vast increase in defense spending.

A new era of global rearmament is gathering pace, and it will mean vast costs and some tough decisions for western governments already struggling with shaky public finances.

Despite world defense spending reaching a record $2.2 trillion last year, European Union nations have only just begun to consider what 21st-century security will require."

 THE PROPAGANDA

In Unitary Perception one is less likely to abuse one's intelligence and fall for the tactics used by propaganda spin doctors: manipulate the truth, create common "enemies", appeal to emotions (the national hymn, tradition, history, etc.), repetition.

One does not become easily hypnotized and is able to "read between the lines".

 A WAR ECONOMY.

As a way to create jobs, EC President Charles Michel promotes a war economy.

In a preposterous proposal to deal with growth, The European Council President Calls on Europe to Switch to a War Economy.

Instead of fixing aging infrastructure, building apartments or investing in healthcare, EC President Charles Michel promotes war as "growth".

Is this really happening AGAIN?

 SOME BEAUTIFUL ZEN QUOTES.

The origin of the popular term "Zen" = Dhjana (Indian) >> Channa >> Chan (Chinese) >> Zen (Japanese).

Zen is NOT about concentrating on something (which means choice and effort - so thought) or studying some impossible question.

When properly understood, the term originally means Unitary Perception - the unfocused perception, not directed towards any object, without effort or expectation.

Dhjana was called Silent Illumination in one of the schools.

There is no illumination by or in thought.

Unitary Perception encompasses that small thing called thought, but is beyond thought.

Beautiful Zen sayings:

“Dhjana is not a way to enlightenment. Nor is it a method of achieving anything at all. It is Peace itself. It is the actualization of wisdom, the ultimate truth of the oneness of all things."

“Silence is the gateway to the infinite.”

“The present moment is all we have, and it is the most precious thing we can ever possess.”

“The more we let go of our attachments, the more we become free to live in the present moment.”

“The only way to be truly happy is to let go of everything.”

“The true purpose of life is to awaken to our true nature.”

“The only way to change the world is to change ourselves.”

“The only way to find true peace is to let go of attachment.”

“The most important thing is to see the present moment clearly.”

 THE HORIZONTAL AND THE VERTICAL.

“And what have I taught? ‘This is stress… This is the
origination of stress…'"
The Buddha.

Those who live primarily a life of bio, the life in time from the past to the future, live the life in contact with the products of thought, symbols, language, comparison, measure. That is the life of stress and struggle. Thought, which has been so cunning, must inevitably consider what is at the end of the end of the vertical line. All what has been gathered has to be abandoned.

But there is a vertical dimension of life, which is not in time. It is the True Life in space and vibrant energy.
Unitary Perception is THIS eternal moment.

J.Krishnamurti:
"Time is a refinement of the self, not freedom from the self. Cease to act in time . Cease to be time. The negation is the positive. If you negate something unreal, the real is there."

The Buddha:
“They don’t sorrow over the past,
don’t long for the future.
They live in the present.
That’s why they are
radiant.
From longing for the future,
and sorrowing over the past,
fools wither away
like green reed cut down."

 THE EPIDEMIC OF DOING.

We seem to be always occupied with something. We have to do "something", otherwise we feel uneasy. We are attacked by responsibilities, tasks, job requirements, advertisements, desires, urges. Or we escape something, thoughts or feelings, by working, being active. We have to run to watch the new movie. We imagine that in the "future" we will find happiness. We have to catch up with out friends on the phone.

So not a moment is spent in the silence of Unitary Perception, enjoying peace of the day, the only peace there is.

J. Krishnamurti said: freedom is at the beginning and not at the end.

Unitary Perception is this moment, for this eternal moment is all there is.

Let us stop hypnotically chasing salvation in time, in the mirrage we call the "future", for there is no salvation in that. It is perfecting hell.

Doing must be balanced with being in freedom of the Universe.

Let's dwell in the Eternal, the only Narrow door to liberation and salvation.
