I was hoping you could help me understand the meaning of this "manifesto". Its taken from an art gallery in Denmark.
It was both in English and danish.
Thanks in advance for taking the time and effort to read this.
—————————————–
In the "end" each individual must become a teacher unto himself.
So "masters", teachers, or institutions can only help to a certain extent.
Each individual person must find out for himself how to proceed and take his own steps in order for him to make any real progress towards his unique "spiritual" path and understanding. An understanding of himself and of existence.
No master, teacher or institution can ever guide you in the exact way you need to walk in order to reach your own source, the source, which has for one thing a common ground connecting all things and people, but at the same time is only manifested in the uniqueness of an individual. Thus, only being accessible and known to each individual by his own unique "path" and understanding.
This is mysticism. Jesus, Buddha, Muhammed, etc. were all mystics.Which trough one way or the other elevated their minds beyond the conditioned everyday rationale, into where pure creativity, were all mystical experiences originates.
Support, advice and understandings by others are necessary, but they can only take you so far before they start to become a hindrance to your own evolution, a dependency on dead knowledge/memory, empty rituals, traditions and others. A child and mother like relationship starts to emerge, and we start to loose our spiritual path ans strength, we instead start to regress towards the womb. Which is best expressed and seen as fear and the dependency which fear creates in people. Look at marriage, at religions, look at political parties and their followers, nationalism, governments, etc.
Look closely and see for yourself that mother-child relationship and how it not only cripples people in turning them into easy to control subjects, but also how this form their soul, their spiritual and creative lives.
e.g. We find our love and relationship for our partner only truly valid once we marry. Only until some body of authority(the church, the state) recognizes and accepts our love for each other by legally binding us. Disgusting! Another way to get stuck and more involved within the system.
There comes a time when one must truly stand alone in order to reach that source which is shared by all things, and yet unique in its expression to the individual. There is a source.

That is the difference between Religion and Mysticism.
Religions rely on institutional structures to induce a kind of trance in the individual, a conditioned mental state which relies on dead knowledge/memory to exist, on repetitive indoctrination so as to create a safe and comfortable “mental map” of our existence and so being able to perpetuate manipulative teachings and sell "enlightenment." It creates dependency in people and creates conditions which are ideal for exploiting people, in creating order.
Also religions provide the very opposite of what they claims to provide: understanding of self and existential revelations. It does this by making people rely on dogma and integrate pre-packaged systems which actually work by taking you away from yourself(denial), true awareness, and instead creates filters by which ones perceptions are screened through, before any true observation is made.
It takes your attention away from yourself and your immediate situation, and keeps you busy with scriptures, future goals and situations to look forward to, created fear which leaves one craving foe the womb and techniques which are created as models for spiritual and creative progress, but instead is actually one product/ or system mass-produced for the idea of the masses(a homogenized body of people), to get everyone on the "right" track in the same way.
A perfect tool for organizing a specific order and hierarchy.
Impossible! Lies!
Wake up! You are only controlled to the extent which you let yourself be controlled.
Everything through Religion creates a path, a goal and an answer, which one integrates into ones rationale an from there on, its system starts to operate on a subconscious level.
Religions came from those “everyday”- functional minds trying to make sence of the mystics words. But not realizing that such words are unique to the individual and his insight and cannot be taught or communicated in any meaningful way, except as an introduction to that there is something more than what are minds are original brought up by. One must live it himself before he can even begin to truly understand the words. Therefore religions are always corrupted at their core by the weaknesses of the survival/primitive man, who’s supposed spiritualism is nothing but everyday survival mechanisms and satisfaction of a limited egos. Religions mask their real function in a cloud of abstrac
Religions mask their real function in a cloud of abstract concepts which serve the same ends as the two-bit hustler out in the street.

Mysticism works as explained above. It shows you that being human has countless similarities to everybody else, but that also each person has a uniqueness unto himself. This uniqueness which once starts to truly be discovered, leads one also to the source of creativity(manifested as ones own unique expressions). Which is also the key to "spiritual/creative" becoming. This common ground is also a part of that which connects us, a "heavy transparent coat" that exists as itself, and also as a manifestation of all things. It is that from which all things have their origins, genesis, and is the source of our/your creativity. This "coat" although elemental and ubiquitous, seems to be only directly accessed through altered mental states. This “coat” i.e. Not the physical manifestation we know as matter, but the aspect which is more ele
This “coat” i.e. Not the physical manifestation we know as matter, but the aspect which is more elemental and fluid(heavy transparent coat), can be felt and and accessed so to be able to work with it. To flow with it, and at the same time re-direct its flow and mould, shape and channel it through ones unique expressions(creations which are both something physical like an artefact, and also on a mental plane like how one creates ones identity). This is called Art and mysticism.
By truly throwing oneself off of the edge and getting lost, exploring, experimenting, and living intensely so as to never crave for the womb again, to never sleep again, is to be an Artist and mystic.
The "last" few steps are always taken on ones own.
I’m the only one answering, and I need the points cause my old account got suspended. Sorry
