45. About you: Chapter - Overcoming the meaningless system (19)
When we strive to overcome the helplessness, narrow worldview, and slave-like existence that have been forced upon us over the centuries, we can draw strength from the fact that our world is not finite, not linear, but dual, circular, and infinite, where disappearance and renewal are constantly present. Cyclicality is nothing more than repetition, the succession of above and below, pulsation, undulation, the beginning and the end, followed by another beginning and another end, where the possibility of turning back always exist. Through our souls, we too are part of this wave, this pulsation, and constant renewal, meaning that the possibility of turning back is always present. Just as time can turn in the universe and transform into space, so too can we return to the One and Only. Failing to recognize the possibility of turning back is equivalent to ignorance. If, in religious terms, we speak of predestination, then this is nothing other than the predestination to return to the One. Since this universal (thought, word, action) will is beyond the individual self, it means that the will to return dissolves the individual self. In this dissolution, the individual life's work disappears, leaving only the universal life’s work, which is emptiness, the highest form of existence, where the One and Only exist. Consequently, the man who has sunk into matter, who is moving in the same direction with the time, will not find space. However, the awakened person, traveling against time (the current), will find it. Space is accessible through reversed or negative time.
If we undertake to move beyond the deliberate deceptions and arbitrary dominations presented in the second chapter of our book, then it is worth concentrating on the internal and external, individual and societal opportunity as returning into Christianity, to the universal one. The return to the One, as an inner individual possibility, requires preparation, which can be called awakening or consciousness-raising. This is the true selectness—the preparedness and awakening of our soul, and the choice of initiation. There is no self-selectness, because selectness is internal, not external. We make ourselves worthy of being chosen by the One and Only for the return. Biblical predestination correctly equals being predestined for selectness, which means that selectness is not a gift, but a task entrusted to everyone: to return to the universal one. If we consider what it meant to fall from the golden age, to manufacture material and money from the symbolism of gold, and to gradually move away from the tradition of the One over more than two thousand years, then perhaps the spiritual darkness we find ourselves in today is not so surprising. The path of returning is turning inward, understanding what is said up there, because below here we must think, speak, and act accordingly.
Turning toward the One and Only signifies returning, when we are within the pulsation and rhythm of our universal self. It depends on our free will and awakening whether we want to be part of this returning, as we are both the means and the goal of this. The sacred elements in nature, such as water, air, earth, fire, and of course other human beings, all serve our reversal. Time turns within us if we strive for it. The reversal of time is the inward journey, the effort to return to the One, the source, the beginning, and the end. We decide whether to spend the time given to life on the inward journey, reversing time, erasing it, and transforming it into space, that is, whether we aim for existence, timelessness, or give all this up and die as material beings.
By nature, humans live in the pair of space and time, as the “external or relative" space and time (chronos), and it is up to them, or their free will, to step out of this "external or relative" space and time and realize within themselves the inner time (kairos) and the "internal and absolute" space. It follows that existence, eternal time, is attainable here on earth, and it is also true that within life is existence, within time is space, it just needs to be turned on. We are capable of this conversion because we ourselves are the converters. We turn the wheel of fate. We can also say that we have an earthly cycle and a heavenly cycle. The artist is the one who can connect the two cycles (duality), that is, who can form a loop. The loop is formed by shifting two waveforms or connecting two cycles. When the loop or the two cycles meet within us, fulfilment occurs.
Within everyone is the inner man longing to return to the One and Only, the little god, the universal self, capable of subordinating every activity, every teaching word, and action to this (self)redemption and self-realization. If our actions have no spiritual charge, then we can speak of soulless work, which does not serve the returning to the One. When we sacrifice our meaningful vision for biological, body life, we become corrupt. The corrupt, individual person no longer desires to return to the One. On a community level, the return to the One means nothing else but returning to traditional Christianity, thus the re-spiritualization, without rejecting all the life experiences and knowledge that the last two thousand years have brought into our lives, which cannot be so despised that we should no longer praise any of them.
