What are the Conditions for Heaven-on-Earth?
Following the advice of Shelley
Yates and her "Beings",
I keep observing general experiences that are "uplifting",
|
|
While categorizing my archive - a work of months - I was "uplifted" by the parallelism of these two sunrises, one taken on Dec. 1, 2003, after the second night of sleeping in "Noah's Cave", which then was still "under construction", and the other on July 19, 2004, after the first morning of sleeping in my pyramidal tent on "Rakhaf". Here and there the sun rises beyond the Salt Sea, except that the distance to the Sea on the tent photo is about 10 km. In my feeling memory so much stress and strain is connected with both, the cave at "Noah's Shore" and the tent in the east and later in the west of "Rakhaf" but here now are these photos and I feel not only nostalgic but full of joy, that even in former times my life was blessed with moments, yes periods of FULL-FILL-ment |
2007_08_06 Following my desire to uncover, detail, exemplify, demonstrate the "Conditions for Heaven-on-Earth, I'm thrown back to the beginning of full-filling my life's ardent desire: to "coordinate" between "Man&Work"! To describe this desire akwardly, until I'll remember or renew my formulations: At the age of 14 I started to motivate people to leave their frustrating job, and find out and do, what would truly fulfill them. One night at the age of 27 I was totally shaken with a vision of my life's purpose: If people would find the work that fulfills them, they also would do this work effectively, and then the work in the world, that needs to be done, would be truly done, and all would experience a life of what I now term as "Heaven on Earth". Later I read in Franz Rosenzweig's letters his observation, that people who has an impact on this world, learnt about their vocation only at the age of 27, himself included. |

From "Andarean Theory" p.498 "…people are being given situations which are making them search for the whys and the wherefores. If everything was going so perfectly for people, there were no problems, people would have no reason to search for anything. People are dissatisfied. They are beginning to look at why they are so. For many this is a step to soul growth, because it makes them take a closer look at themselves, a closer look at what they are creating. " 507

Arnon's GRATe-FULL-ness = Arnon's Feeling of FULL-FILL-ment
From my diary 2006_07_01 [connected with Arnon's 10th birthday]

"Die wahre Entdeckungsreise
besteht nicht darin, dass man neue Landschaften sucht, sondern dass man mit neuen Augen sieht." (Marcel Proust) |
"The true journey
of discovery is not in searching for new landscapes, but in seeing with new eyes." (Marcel Proust) |
And in-between a joke:

When
I copied this passage, I was painfully reminded of what I heard , when passing by the TV and the news, about a trial with consequences for the world of prisons: In Nov. last year three young prisoners had tortured to death, another prisoner, slowly, slowly within 10 hours starting with causing him to vomit and then lick it up, etc. Again: the only motivation : frustration, nothing to do, just interested in seeing how somebody dies. What the experts demand - –more fresh air in the yard, less prisoners in one room - does not touch the real problem. Why is it, that even such crimes do not make people understand, that we need satisfaction and full-fill-ment just as much as we need air and water and food and sleep and probably more than sex, which grants such short satisfaction? |
"The Night of People"
This drawing of my granddaughter Yael - at the age of nine - presents everything
that is NOT Heaven-on-Earth.
My on-going question is: "Is not much of art
- especially the art of film-making - inspired by what is NOT Heaven-on-Earth?"
So what will inspire so many authors, painters, musicians, film-makers, dancers
- in the future of Heaven-on-Earth?
I'll close this page with the art of photography as I started it: an image
of physical Heaven-on-Earth.
