The pendulum is mentioned in many posts. It came to me in the first or second year. It took me several weeks to put it down on paper as it is now. There were countless preliminary stages and drafts until the inner knowing that wanted to manifest itself as an image had made its way into my consciousness.

When the graphic was finished, I didn’t have the slightest idea what it was actually supposed to represent. That’s the way it is with spiritual information…

In the meantime I know. The picture, the pendulum, represents our being. Our consciousness and our conditioning. Our freedom and our determinacy.
And our swinging between these two extreme states. Represented in the inner light circle.

The pendulum lies in creation. In this, everything is determined by security and pain. The security lies in our spiritual aspect. The pain is in our material aspect. The outer two circles represent this. They are constructed like a single-lever tap in the bathroom. If the pendulum swings more to the „right“, then we use our soul perception more and are more anchored in security. If it swings more to the „left“, then we use our material five senses more. And we become more aware of our apparent loneliness, our separateness. That is where the pain lies.

The next circle represents our „existence„. In short: Are we alive or are we dead. We see that death is very, very narrow at the top, actually without thickness. So in the whole circle there is life. Only in the complete extremes, the exclusive perception with the five senses and the exclusive perception with the soul-sense, there is then death. When the soul and the material no longer have a counterpart, so to speak. When they are separated.

The next circle indicates our „position„. Where are we when our pendulum swings one way or the other. There, where spiritual and material perception are in balance, there lies our human middle.
The more materially we perceive, the more we lose the perception of spiritual unity, of security in the meaning. We move into the proximity of death with it and ultimately find ourselves in the maximum possible ego. In this state we only perceive separation. Nothing is connected to us any more. We are lonely and our body and mind go into defence mode and fight everything outside of them in their loneliness. There lies the state commonly referred to as „evil„.
When the pendulum swings to the other side, our material perception increasingly dissolves. We no longer perceive a separation between ourselves and our neighbour. Nor between us and everything else that exists. The physical sense of separateness dissolves. Everything is perceived as one. That is where the so-called „good“ lies.
The two positions of „good“ and „evil“ lie at such extremes that I have called them „apparent death„. The human being in these states is still alive, but on the one extreme there is no longer any spiritual feeling and on the other no material feeling. He is in a state as if dead.

The next and last ring represents the „condition“ the human being is in when the pendulum is in a certain position.
The middle, at the very bottom, is called sadness. „Compassion“ is also an appropriate term. There, the person perceives the spiritual security within himself and is able to recognise the other person as an earthly person and to feel his earthly pain with him, since he himself also knows it.

If the pendulum moves more to the left into material perception, then the person feels his loneliness. If the pendulum goes further, then it becomes fear. Then anger at the cause of fear. And finally, with almost complete isolation in pain, it becomes hatred. Hate no longer knows any connection to anything or anyone. It only wants its pain to be eradicated. Through the destruction of the – supposed – cause of the pain. He who is in hate is already in the realm of apparent death.

If the pendulum swings to the „right“, then man experiences his security in the meaning. He attains knowledge of the soul. This leads to trust in creation and in one’s place in it. This leads to humility and ultimately to unconditional love, to the realisation of the oneness of everything. There man is far from all earthly things. There too he is then in apparent death….

On the border to death, that is where lust lies. The absorption in hatred or the absorption in ecstasy….

The pendulum could also be represented as a scale or, even better, as a spiral. A spiral consisting of an infinite number of spirals, on an even larger spiral, and measuring eternity and infinity. An unimaginable image…

So this pendulum remains only the simple representation of an ineffable event.

It is my purpose and everyone else’s.

Those who do not know where they belong and what they are supposed to do in this world: here they have the answer. There is no other. Not a single one.

But only without fear. Only without fear may we act. Powerfully centred in the knowledge of meaning. Only in this way may we compete with the world. Only in love. Only in selflessness. Masculine and feminine must be united in us.

The turning point is here. Love is returning. I know that for sure now. All will be well again. Humanity is returning from its fateful path.

On this forest path?

There they offer their fruits for free,

The raspberries, a few blackberries, ah,

And there they stand too, the nettle with its seed.

They call for me to taste and

So I accept the gifts. Taste.

Each has a different one to offer.

Small and sweet, large and aromatic, a little overripe, still a little sour.

And so they stand there, each as a different being.

Like at the market.

Only they don’t tempt me

To encourage me to buy.

They selflessly give me everything they have to offer.

Rejoice with me in my happiness.

Only fear reigns in the market. Here blossoms only cosmic love.

Corona and the Ukraine war were the greatest challenges in this respect. The state of immobility of society had to be preserved with violence against those who felt differently.

But movement is needed. Not separating left or right. Not traditional violent revolutionary. It needs inner movement. The inner change of the human being beyond opinion and position. The inner realisation of union the attainment of consciousness, the perception of the unconditional love present in everything, formerly also called reason or whatever you want to call it. The understanding of life and death. The knowledge of the connection. The recognition of meaning. The attainment of freedom from fear….

This is the revolutionary movement that is needed now. It comes from somewhere else. It comes from within each one. It conquers gently. It leads to peace. Without struggle. Without war. Without suffering. And without loss… Everybody wins. That is what is special about this upheaval. No one should be afraid of it. This revolution must be supported and carried by every person and every party.

In this change, nobody has to be afraid of what is coming.

Shocked, you maybe will realise that you cannot do it at all. The connection does not arise. You do not feel the oneness.

So you live in materialism. Every second of your life. And you think that this is the normal state.

Practice yogic breathing. Do a 30-minute drum or rattle trance session every day. The perception of oneness will creep in again. And then you will look and inwardly embrace – and truly love again.

If we want to be liked, to have influence, to be recognised, then we want to spread out beyond ourselves into the thoughts, into the consciousnesses of other people. We want to spread out in space and time, just as we do in physical action. Everything we do socially only serves the purpose of material expansion if it is done for ourselves or for a defined group. If it is done for everything, for everyone, for the whole world, the boundless cosmos, then it is an eternal-infinite spreading and then it bursts the limitation of materiality.

The spreading of everything in everything, of everything in itself, in its complete totality can no longer take place in material space. The expansion inevitably moves into the realm of oneness in eternity and infinity. And there is love, peace, the goal and the meaning to be found…. There the human being rests. He no longer has to fight a battle, no longer has to fear pain.

From there he can act. In full awareness of his cosmic and immortal existence.

Wenn wir aufhören, jemand sein zu wollen, dann können wir ruhen. Und in der Ruhe können wir alles erreichen. Alles Sein.

Wenn wir gemocht werden wollen, Einfluss nehmen wollen, anerkannt sein wollen, dann wollen wir uns über uns selbst hinaus ausbreiten in den Gedanken, in den Bewusstseinen anderer Menschen. Wir wollen uns, genau wie in der physischen Tat, in Raum und Zeit ausbreiten. Alles, was wir gesellschaftlich tun, dient nur dem Zweck der materiellen Ausbreitung, wenn es für uns selbst oder für eine definierte Gruppe geschieht. Geschieht es für alles, für jeden, für die gesamte Welt, den grenzenlosen Kosmos, dann ist es ein ewig-unendliches Ausbreiten und dann sprengt es die Begrenzung der Materialität.

Die Ausbreitung von allem in allem, von allem in sich selbst, in seiner völligen Gesamtheit kann nicht mehr im materiellen Raum stattfinden. Die Ausbreitung bewegt sich zwangsläufig in den Bereich der Einheit in Ewigkeit und Unendlichkeit. Und da ist die Liebe, der Frieden, das Ziel und der Sinn zu finden… Dort ruht der Mensch. Keinen Kampf muss er mehr führen, keinen Schmerz mehr fürchten.

Von dort aus kann er handeln. Im vollen Bewusstsein seiner kosmischen und unsterblichen Existenz.

Most people have to recognise that they will not find a place in this society that suits them and that all striving in this direction will only increase their suffering. They strive for recognition, for peace, for provision – for love…. There is none of that here. Even recognition is only given if one goes along with the loveless and peaceless game without complaining, Suffers silently or suppresses his suffering.

The game is becoming more and more merciless. Fewer and fewer can still paint over their suffering.

It is the time to show people their way to freedom from suffering: https://innerengineering.sadhguru.org/
