Square proportions

By a contemplation of the 'square proportions' Schneider understands an alignment of the physical forces of a person according to those inner relations of a square. This is what he practiced during many phases of meditation.

Acknowledge a void

In my search for the right content for my exhibition of works, I sometimes came up against real limitations of my power. There I did not want to increase it up to the uncertain, but I would not be able to do that at once. The limits of my person have been changeable from time to time, but there have always been such limits. However, I have neither known how to defeat nor overcome myself. At some point I gave up trying to do something like that. Nowadays it seems to me to be a wrong way to do something like that. Rather than that I would like to correspond to myself. Therefore, from time to time some of my projects simply failed, which I accepted. They did not fit to the constellation of my life, therefore I gave them up sooner or later.

The same occurs on the abstract level of thoughts with me. Also this has its limitations, even if they could not be perceived by us at first sight. There I have simply presupposed them and looked at under such a premise what is given to me. Oh yes, the looking at the thoughts is a process which can make very much possible and for which in my quiet life some opportunity exists.

That's when I reproduced the thoughts of mine by writing them down. I remember that I took the first word in the rule to execute it. Then I added more words to it. In this way many poems and aphorisms have been created, which have uniformly had as their theme that I would not actually know anything to say. That has been the starting point for the creation of my work. If it seems to me to be also mysterious, then I found by it nevertheless to the language and its organization. It has remained important to me to be honest in dealing with the emotions of my mind as well as with the things of thought. I recognize them and also assign something of high value to this thing. There I determine it for the fact that my works can keep in their sum existence, as long as I remain fair to myself. The own however has been nothing. There it must be also neutral and in balance as sum.

A many-formed nothing will be what is emanated there through me. It has already found some of it to its existence. Meanwhile it thinks itself to me in the spirit that I make it right in the way. My work should be one, that the essence of the events accessible to us people should not distort or disguise at all. That is why I have acknowledged it as it has become and left everything as it seems to me to be. I would not need to assert it. That will be in vain that one asserts oneself and takes a pioneering role. Where would one also like to go? - The own would have there a better continuance. That's how we should live it, that's how we should preserve it.

That will be the emptiness, what can result from our thinking as soon as it has completed itself. The approach to this should be that we want to preserve what is given. Such a work will be built up benignly if it has corresponded to this default. A man's escape leads him to an unknown territory. With it he will depend on some assistance and must possess confidence as well as reliance opposite other people. This can go wrong, because not everyone would have earned such a thing. One better builds on the own fortune, because it can be preserved so by us. No one has known everything that makes us. People on the run have lost much of what once made them so great. Some have lost only their dignity when they entered foreign territory, and others have not even retained such dignity. Some, meanwhile, have even fallen into captivity and lost everything that was once so dear to them.

There we have recognized many a reason to exist on the spot instead of placing ourselves in the care of others and relying on their guidance. But then we were able to complete the circle and think our thoughts. This has a high value of its own. Some things we bring to a conclusion in this way.

Once our own things have been completed by us, they should remain in such order. For this purpose we have recognized the permanence of the given to us and have assigned some meaning to it. We behave according to the fact that we will close the circles again and again anew in the contact with the given and thus in analogy to the already constant we will develop the further, so that we can create it. Meanwhile, the man has felt this as something right. It is very convenient for him that his thoughts have completed themselves thereby.

In this state of completeness of what has been given to us, the burdens have dissolved in us because they have come into balance. This is what a crown is supposed to be in a person. It is not so much worn on the head as it is embodied in oneself through spiritual strength and clarification of the given. There the thoughts have found with us to their picture, meanwhile we have completed such a picture. For this every man has a framework to own, which makes it, what he knows to understand. According to such a frame we align ourselves in life and thus experience an actual happiness. With this we have succeeded in representing something of what constitutes us in existence. This is supposed to be an image for emptiness.

They are the first and last things we have in life. This is how we came, this is how we will go. Whoever has taken the trouble to awaken such an emptiness in life in himself and to dispose of it in turn, can consider himself lucky, because he does something right. This is how we found empty hands, this is how we got rid of things. This is what has made peace possible for us.

A person who has everything must also manage what he has. There he will be charged with it all his life, what has happened there. The lucky one calls it his luck, the unlucky one, however, has attached his misfortune to it. Both will have the same. They have interpreted it alone only differently. Why they do this, one can discuss. However, this will be able to lead us now on aberrations. Therefore we have desisted from it. We would not need to understand the misfortune if it had been obsolete that it comes up. Rather than doing something so aberrant, we would like to limit ourselves. That is why we do not carry it out here or elsewhere in any way. It has no wick to own to do such a thing nevertheless, because it has sprung from the arbitrariness of a human being.

Instead, we would like to examine the arbitrariness of man. It is superior to everything and can also be recognized as such. Because of it, man's powers sometimes fail. It has led to nothing, because it has not embodied a single way, but has regarded a multiplicity of the ways as justifiably existing. There it is her share in the given that a man experiences his individual fate because of her. The happiness, however, lies on another level and has been only conditionally compatible with the individual and his experiences of the misfortune alone.

He who has left the true path, which can only be one, discovers for himself the freedom to fail and to fail. In this way, he can take many steps that will diminish his happiness in life. Thereby he makes rich experience of what has not been good for him. If he turns back afterwards, he has found the way out and a way back from the trap or from the trouble for himself. There is no luck in the process. Meanwhile it was only his gestures what could have led him there. For a man the individual way was not provided. He reveals to us the law of destiny, but he would not obtain the legitimacy of our action. On the contrary, precisely because we have deviated from it, the destiny has occurred, which has happened to us. Therefore, the experience gained in the process has no meaning. Basically, no experience of a human being has any other meaning than that it came about without reason. Thus, we have seen that it must be without value for a righteous person. We should not let the depictions of other people's aberrations in life lead us to emulate them. That is why we have discarded everything that was connected with it. Thus, we have come to value our own good more than the good of other people.

We lead our own existence. Once we have given up everything about it and submitted to our own good in life, we have also made something right. There we can give up all individual parts of the human being without losing anything. Yes, we will rather gain something by having done so. Continuously we will experience a building up of things, if we have done it right. But we should not build a temple if it was about false idols. That is why we have refrained from it and have not asked ourselves to do more than nothing in any of the possible ways. Thus, we have left everything as it is and devoted ourselves to a resolution of what was previously called arbitrariness. Thus we have given a way to the ego in us. We have recognized only that for us as a happiness, what has gone beyond such a part of man, which alone has belonged only to him.

There such an ego as appearance is of importance for the human being. He recognizes it at him that he would not need to do something. But what he should do, that results from his ego power. With its help, man has many an opportunity to bring his ego into harmony with a community. Once this has happened, he will be able to live his existence in an honest way.

So we want to take a position in a community. For this, we must be someone who has known about himself. We have our own history for this, so that we can find true words about life. We have our own skill for this, so that we can shine with deeds in addition to words. So we can participate in the events of an environment with deeds and sound. By this we have recognized our own happiness, that it has come true what we are trying to achieve. By this we have recognized a presence, that by our own action we already have a share in what has happened and come true. That is how we have understood it. This is how it will have a benefit. That's why we have attached to our actual working ability the own good and have obtained it.

Every further moment of the life should exist there for us for the purpose of a preservation of the given. What did not fit well to it, we bring in turn in order with us.
