Intellectual and Emotional Spirituality (Bei-Yin)

With interest I am watching the phenomena of more and more
sophisticated growing 'spirituality' especially in the Internet. The
cyber space seems to be to best play- and training ground for those
who are developing their 'spirituality'.
As all those people are highly identified with their mind or/and
their emotions, and on the other hand the need to go further than
their personal limitations, so the concepts which existed since long
ago, were developed by present thinkers in such a way that hardly
there is any space uncovered. This has happened already in the
middle age when monks were discussing about the highly sophisticated
spiritual question how many angles can rest on the peak of a needle.
For us now this sounds absurd, funny or naive, but there hasn't
changed that much. In our days people are discussing about
enlightenment, karma, meditation techniques, freedom, consciousness,
big bang, or whatever and they feel very 'spiritual', especially
when it goes together or parallel with emotional identifications,
images about angels, love, vibrations, energy, etc. highly developed
by many New Age thinkers and feelers. All live in their special,
precious world of images, they are nourished by it and they feed
back into the big rose cloud by giving their energy into it. They
feel so good, - uplifted into spheres where they can forget the
cruel reality of earthen ground... Giving thankfully back into the
intellectual and emotional pool because they get their self
confirmation out of it. From their they get all their security,
intellectual and emotional.
Well, I am not judging or criticizing our society, I am just
reflecting about it and pointing out some aspects. I don't want to
attack anybody, although people might feel offended, because I am
touching their most precious property they own...
What people own this is their reality, with this they are satisfied.
Are they? I guess not, because there is still the silent longing in
the background of their existence. A yearning for another reality,
which is not limited to one's personality.
There are people on this planet who are striving forward to this
'reality', they have a new measurement for values and so their
attitude towards other fellow human beings, the surrounding and to
themselves are different. Those people are creating new spaces to
live, with different conditions, responsibly relating to their
environment and the people they life with under daily circumstances.
We have build such a space and there exist also a physical
manifestation of it. It is called "Falcon Blanco". A place for about
20 people in midst unspoiled nature, with easy resources to nourish
a group of people and with the possibility to live a creative daily
life, which might be simple and not sophisticated, but uncomplicated
and fulfilling, because of mutual respect of each other and the
environment and the trust and the will which allows to go forward
into unknown spaces of one's own existence. We can't lose, only win.

Who is interested may join our mailing list we have created to
discuss the possibilities and the conditions of a 'coming together'-
The exchange is still in the beginning, please read what was
discussed until now, there is an archive available.
