Dialogue with the inner Warden
The echo from a hidden world
Introduction
These notes are no spiritual guide in a common sense. It is not made for people searching for the truth without the ability for self-doubt. Neither does it help anyone who is literally hunting for new realizations by devouring every piece of literature that promises to provide them with new intellectual models. Being a mental explosive charge under the fundament of all kinds of transported realizations this script shows a critical point of view towards the common belief that there is no realization for the individual but one out of the variety of collective images and inventories that would provide the personality with its own ideas. After all we are not what we believe to be. Everyone believes to be that what distinguishes him or her from others – the self-image he has been stamped with by his environment. Though that what we express towards the outside world is only a fraction of our true nature. Because: The search for the truth can not be accomplished with the help of the normal dual thinking – The hindrance which is preventing us from reaching our goals is situated in the dual way of our material perception. That is why the occurring magical question is: ”How can I become conscious of what I am forced to be?” Only when I have found out about this will I truly understand who I am.
Let us have a look into the future: With the progressing development of our growing, interlinked system of communication the number of people that are looking upon our common values with a questioning attitude is also growing rapidly. Still, for many people it is not possible any more to exclusively identify themselves with the destinations that are valued by our society of intellectual knowledge and digital information, and that is what makes them become outcasts because they are too conscious about who they are: Over-individualized creatures that are also existing in other worlds and dimensions. Gradually the truth is coming to light: The Self-image we are familiar with is only a small extract out of our “existence”, which we can express on the stage of our personality. This means that every one of us has access to the hidden deeper realms of our soul, which can inspire us to venture beyond the borders of our three-dimensional reality. That is why it is not really about abandoning our attitude towards the way we see the world but it is about expanding our stage of life. And it is about turning our sight through which we perceive the world to the inside, if we truly want to understand who we are.
That is the reason why it is not our intention to attack the models of our society, the intention is to show alternatives for individuals who are not able to identify themselves with the archetypes our society is supporting, that is to say they cannot integrate themselves into the common roles: namely people who are not content to live with clichés like family, career or social wealth, but are intensively dealing with the question of what makes life worth living beyond the values we have learned to accept. And of course it is about giving a reason why it is dangerous to express such a point of view. Maybe it is then, when we finally realize the necessity to preserve the illusionary images of society, because otherwise everything would collapse and that would lead to the honest conclusion: “Only the one who knows the basis of our material models is able to find the answers that would help to free himself from these collective structures in the right moment.”
There still is another way: To overcome our dual thinking-structures we have to set out from these collective systems of values because we need a fundament on which we can place the starting point from which we set out on our journey through the oceans of night. From here on we venture into the depths of our inner worlds, because the way our domesticated senses help us to perceive our self created world-image, and that is how our inner sight can dive into our subconscious longings. Through the change of the position of our inner spectator we can stalk into the deep, because only when we reach below the threshold of our consciousness we can find out about the way we are at home on many different spheres simultaneously. Beyond our dreams we travel in spaces of experience that are so unbelievably different to anything we know that this knowledge, should it come to see the light, of our reality would put our material world into danger. That is why it is understandable that it has to be locked away from normal people under the cover of consciousness because all spiritual realizations point back to the tools of intellectual embossing: “The intellect of the human form is always putting itself into scenery within knowledge!”
Still this is not enough for the abstract thinker. For him it is important to fuse with this eternal part deep within and outside of himself again, which reaches far through the different spheres beyond any form of social cultures. Because this inner existence does not receive its self-consciousness from the values out of our education, it does not change when the world is moving on. It is itself part of every change and bursts the limits of every individual self-image, for it embodies a kind of over-individualised more-dimensional consciousness. In one word: Eternity is the destination! But this includes a price that every searching individual has to pay: He has to change himself if he wants to change his point of view, he has to expand himself to recollect all of his invisible parts and reunite with them within himself and integrate them into his reality he first of all has to understand to its full extend so he can in the end leave it without leaving parts of his soul behind.

The Seven Portals of the Spirit
1. Our World
The models of reality
Primarily this is about the question of what is actually the essence of our world: Is this world really what it seems to be in our eyes? Or is our perception of the world only the result of an collective world image, the essence of the current public opinion of our collectively educated imagination that we pass on to each other.
Let us go back to our childhood: Was it not the case that our parents were the first ones that told us how we where to perceive the world; a mystically shining point of light proved to be just a normal ashtray made of glass that father is using to get rid of his cigarettes. The whole mystical world full of magic was reduced to its functionality. Therefore every object has lost its magic within its mysterious atmosphere, which we were able to see when we where children, and was shrunk to its function that was determined by the grown up persons. And so we slowly grew into the normal world the way human beings see it. And the more we where able to convince the elders that we see the world exactly the way they do the more praise and applause we where assured to receive. When we grew older the grown ups projected their religious images onto us. We where told how this world came into being and what the aims and the sense of human existence are. Because our infantile “hard disk” was still empty, we where thankful to receive the first terminologies with which we could explore and perceive the outer world with our educated imagination. Because the concept that has been passed on from generation to generation is the only benchmark after which we could experience reality, the lessons in life had the supporting side effect that the world showed itself to us exactly the way we learned to perceive it. At this point we had no idea that there would be no other possibility to experience the world in a different way. On the other hand we can learn how difficult it is to change the familial or religious background from the point of view we have today because they are so deep within ourselves that we cannot see them just like the famous “blind spot”.
What can we realize?
That is why it is important to keep in mind that our educated perception is after all a construction that ensures our social coexistence with our fellow beings. In an overcrowded, highly differenced world that has already left behind all natural resources, a natural and healthy survival is not possible any more. Our economical system is a rambling, cancerous ulcer that can only keep its balance through perpetual growth. Our complex society could not afford its national product without virtual needs that ensure the life standard of its consuming
