The Prodigal Son and the Return to God – Save your father from the belly of the beast – Zen Meditation and Mysticism

The Prodigal Son - Rescue your Father from the Belly of the Beast

The prodigal son and the return to God. You must free your father from the belly of the monster from the depths. Behind the shadows of suffering he already sees the loving will of God, who wants him to be more alert, more mature and more complete and helps him to move from lack to fullness, to progress from insight to oneness and thus to break the cycle of cause and effect, action and consequence. You did not start it, but you can finally stop it.

The Prodigal Son - Returns

My yoke is gentle; he who does not resist suffering, thereby making it more oppressive and painful, but rather accepts it as a guide and accepts its teaching, becomes its master. He who accepts suffering as his companion is free from danger and assured of guidance. He is on the way to perfecting the outer life and winning the inner one. He enters the kingdom of peace and joy, of calm and serenity, that inner kingdom from which the voice of the Eternal resounds: Do not be afraid;

I am with you!

The Beast from the Abyss - Resurrection

There is this old idea that the son must free his father from the belly of the monster. And this monster is hidden deep in the abyss. We need a valuable goal and a way to achieve it, which implies a hierarchy. We sacrifice all other paths and goals to this one. The better the goal, the more satisfying the path to it is. So we look for the most valuable goal that we can realistically imagine. Along the way we have to face challenges that scare us.

But we have to face these things voluntarily, even if it is very unpleasant. Often the monster seems to be much too big. So we break it down into pieces that are just big enough for us to tackle. In this way we become more and more courageous on the way and can overcome ever larger pieces of the monster.

Rescue your Father from the Belly of the Beast - Voluntarily

At the end we can look directly into the darkest abyss, which shows humanity's own suffering. Our own shadow. This absolutely challenges your entire being and we can save the father from this abyss. In this way we can become more than we already are. Because you are the consequence of all your forefathers and your father who came before you. And you carry this potential within you. What you could be. The ultimate goal is to sacrifice yourself and risk your life to save your father, who is infinitely important.

Carry your Cross - Responsibility

Jesus takes the suffering of the world upon himself. The world is full of suffering and we should understand this as our responsibility. Past - present - future. So we start with ourselves and work slowly from the inside out. You are not the victim of your fate but the potential solution. It is our responsibility to carry this burden. The cross, which represents the symbol of the greatest suffering. Accept this as a voluntary challenge and not as a pitiful victim role.

The Devil in the Desert - Suffering, Tragedy and Evil

Jesus met the devil in the desert. He faced evil. The main problems of the individual are suffering, tragedy and evil. We must clearly recognize the human capacity for evil and badness and not naively play the do-gooder. Encountering evil is no joke and not everyone survives it because it penetrates to the core of existence.

But if one is able to face evil and suffering, then the door opens to the maximum potential of the self. Although one will never come out unscathed and will always be scarred and bruised when one encounters evil, the power of transformation is always greater. Only from the bad and evil can absolute good emerge. We are capable of this change and that is the miracle of man.

Accept the Pain - Not the Guilt

Virtuous women & men - No pain no gain - Loyalty - Faithfulness - Sincerity - Commitment - Not for mama's boys - Origin - Family - Wives - Husbands - Responsibility

A man goes out into the world alone, but with the spirit of the father, and learns his trade over the years. This is how he earns his wife. The man does not run after the woman (mama's boy), instead she wants to be a part of his life. If the woman cannot do this, she has never emotionally left home and will never be able to have a real marriage because she does not understand the call to live beyond the physical.

Responsibility - Meaning

Life is hard, some people just die, in a cruel way. The cards are stacked against everyone to some degree. Because life is very difficult and we all die. All of us have a very hard time at some point in our lives. What is the alternative? Take responsibility for it and try to fight your way to the top. Because the alternative only makes everything worse. It's not fair.

There are things you can't imagine, horror shows you can't comprehend. People who have been hurt in so many ways and in so many dimensions. Should they be bitter and resentful and become violent? Those things don't help. They have to fight their way to the top, despite their heavy burden. It's responsibility, not guilt. It's not their fault, that's not the point.

Postmodernism - Traditionalism

The group is watching you all the time and judging you all the time. There is a battle going on between postmodernism and traditionalism. For the postmodernists, we have no nature, we are blank slates. Everything we are is only conditioned by culture and completely changeable.

On the other side are the traditionalists, who are more rooted in biology on the one hand and history on the other. We have fallen out of our myth, we have stopped believing in our basic axioms. We have stopped believing that there is a God. But the right way for society to orient itself is within a mythological structure. A myth about how a human being should be.

Family - Order

If the family is the foundation of society, then why is the family breaking down and what can we do about it? Much of the breakdown of the family is due to our idiotic notion of our one-sided concept of rights and freedom. And in some ways, to an immature hedonism, like: Why would I want the burden of a family? Why would I want the constraints of a committed relationship?

But why do you think a family is a burden and why do you think every choice is freedom? You need a purpose that sustains you in the face of suffering, otherwise you become bitter, nihilistic, vicious and hopeless. The purpose that sustains you is taking responsibility. What makes life bearable? Mutual love for your children, your spouse and friends.
