Dharma

A school of fish and a few fish, that made a difference. However, both groups appeared uncounted. Meanwhile, a few fishes can appear separated from a shoal, but the shoal will hardly be able to emerge from a few fishes. Therefore, the lesser will be contained in the greater. One would not need to make further thoughts to it.

Reflection

Lead a righteous life

It has been a wish for Schneider that he would succeed in spending his existence in a valid way, faithful to law and order.

As a creator of art, he thoroughly examines the content of his own works from the point of view of inner guidance. His pictures should be suitable for children, his writings, moreover, clear and understandable.

He would not want to say much to the given order. If one names it with the German word for it or also not, it remained nevertheless the same. The Dharma is to be preserved. The order would be preserved. That is what it would be there for.

Impulse

All people have an equally heavy lot to own, life. This is true at least until one has intervened and manipulated his luck. Thereupon it can only be difficult for us alone to preserve and maintain our way.

Thought

Reality

Reality has been like a dry piece of bread at times. You have to have tasted it for quite a while to know what it means. Those who are used to success have often not seen why it should not be the same for others. Everyone knows alone only what he has experienced. Meanwhile the striving of a person has degenerated to absurdity. Nobody has conceded it to him still that he feels something.

The general and the specific

Schneider's artistic work has remained his special ambition, from which his general duties should not suffer. Even if he continues on the way of working on independent subjects, he has to accomplish in life the same as any other person.

The fact that he wants to prove himself means that he is making this a reality. Schneider is pleased that he has already sufficiently advanced and established his thoughts and ideas in this regard. It is good that he is able to give himself a corresponding direction.

Thought

Be with you

Since only such statements about things of global importance can be true, which have already come true, the author Schneider likes to specify that he does not want to comment on current world events. Instead, Schneider has envisaged the processing of his art matter and those things connected with it, as they are given to him because of his occupation with it. He has done this without paying attention to a ripple effect beyond his dimensional limits. Then he has come to the conclusion that he can approximately conclude those trivial incidents as they have to do with it. He has tried to clarify them. In the process he has found something of his own.

For reasons of abstention, he was happy to refrain from commenting on current political events. Of course, he was not indifferent to the other people in his environment. Sometimes it bothered him that so much injustice had happened in our country recently. He did not believe that everything had to be approved of, as it had happened. The right of a person to an actual happiness of life continues for his existence. The fact that it has been restricted more and more did not only bode well.

Insight

Fantastic

Once a person has related to the context of his own history in life, then he certainly wants to continue to orient himself according to what he has perceived and understood from it. There he has thought about how to deal with his existence in life. A condition for it has been the recognition of the existent. It is according to the order when it happens. Nothing has to dissuade us from going this way.

There we perform our task and create many a work as it suited us. That is what we have oriented ourselves to, what makes us. This is how many things are consolidated in us. Step by step we carry out our work. Thought by thought, an awareness arises in us. It happens that we can grasp our sense of the whole as it is given to us. That which we have perceived has occurred to us in a weighted way. We have seen that and so we have recognized it.

Without misjudging the value of other people's words, we have identified some things about our existence that are more valuable and significant than what people have already told us. We have sought communion with them, but we can think for ourselves. Thoughts come to us without anyone having to initiate them. Blessed are we therefore and so it shall continue with us that we have our own awareness. With respect for our own nature we preserve it. It represents one of those goods to which we have kept an access. Since she has taken us into her heart. That is why we should be human beings, because we know how to recognize how much she loves us.

Litter

Blur

The announcement that a thing has turned out too complex often corresponds to the attempt to want to clarify everything that concerns this thing exactly up to the smallest detail. The fact that this would not be easy to accomplish in a finite way for difficult things can make it an impossible undertaking under time pressure and all other valid limitations of existence. Thereby exactly those tasks and difficulties in the life will have to be tackled and clarified, which really occurred there. To omit the conception and processing of a problem only because of a complexity of it must take the puff of any inventive spirit. Then the man has rejected something of his power, if he goes out of the way of his problems.

Everything and nothing shall be the same for all people. Only the special will still be there of an individual property. It can be described, but one can neither maintain the conditions for an occurrence of the special permanently nor reproduce it. There it has not been exactly right that its valence should be so special. May it have appeared for us also unreachably far and therefore like a star in the sky, what has appeared there in special way, it is nevertheless meaningless per se that it has appeared with us.

Idea

A true emptiness

Thanks to the independence of a person, he can develop. There he can reset all design to the normal measure for it, how it fitted to a thing. He should also do that. Thereupon all additional forces, impulses and moments will be ineffective because he has cancelled them.

Speech design

Capture causal relationships

There is no better and no worse person when it comes to grasping causal relationships. Such apply to everyone in the same way. We would not be dependent on the opinion of other people as long as it was about such things.

What determines the sense and the lack of the human being should not be the discretion of other people. There we would be already lost all now, if this will be nevertheless so. No, man has an actual reason to own, which he could not lose. It could not be sold. Reason determines us. We are to be subordinated to it with our appearance. That makes us.

The individual human being exists alone only in a very conditional way. It is actually a fashion that everyone wants to be such an individualist. Who has aligned himself to be one, perhaps thinks to be able to lead his life in such a way as he would like it. However, only in the reflection of something given the nature of a person appears as true.

All the time we remain in dependence on what is there and has had an effect. That persists. There it experiences a meaning, how we have placed ourselves to it. At least it should be the living space which has just conditioned us. We would be neither lost nor abandoned in it, but also not necessarily well kept and taken care of, if we have not arranged it for us before. Some people are in a bad way because they have expectations that cannot be fulfilled. That is what we have to put in order with us, what goes out from us, so that we can keep our way. Who has misjudged how necessary such a thing is, probably could not find such a way for himself in an easy way. But then he has gone astray.

Initiation

By means of an acceptance of the given, i.e. an affirmation of the human being and his experience values, many things can be moved to the good with him. He can hear a responsibility of himself for his existence and work, because he is relevant and is taken into account.

The field

It should be wonderful that we human beings are allowed to participate in what is happening in the world. In doing so, we experience a value of our actions. Strictly speaking, it can be welcome or unwelcome that we are there and want to participate. All additional values should only be nuances of what it meant to be welcome.

Walk the same paths

Years of searching for the meaning in life have led me to give myself an orientation. I strive for it to be unambiguous. This is how I have set it up with me. The way lies in you'. True to this thought, I have retreated to my good and refrained from everything else. Thereupon I have begun to feel the yoke of my existence. There is no need for words to come forward.

What can be said, however, is that such a yoke can certainly be recognized by how much I am burdened. I take refreshment from that. It delights me that I can make a stand against it. From time to time I put off this yoke, only to take it on again. In the meantime, I have felt a change in my nature. Many a change of constitution has occurred with me. Many an exchange has taken place in the meantime and many things have happened.

My hands liked to take their grips and move something. Just as gladly they held something. I came to rest when I was active. I loved a certain tiredness. Then I soon fell asleep.

A wide field

Man constantly evaluates the events of his existence. This is called a concern. It is something that usually takes place in addition to the events and stands for the human dimension per se. By means of his mind, he has the skill to form a picture of what is inherent in him and what has surrounded him. From this he makes it how he wants to act. The result of his acting is his existence with its peculiarities. There we have brought some of it before us, because we would like to be able to imagine it. With joy and satisfaction we look at the known. By the fact that it is known to us, we already experience a confirmation. We would not need to reject such a confirmation. It should be something of what is given to us. It is part of it that we have been confirmed in this existence by ourselves. Many things therefore fall off us, for which nobody has had a use. Yes, something in our things should remain from us and be good for us.

So that's when we imagined something about it. Ideally, we have written it down or applied it to an object in some other way. This work is to be looked at now by us. For this we orient ourselves at a general form of looking at the whole. We can complete it little by little by means of our empirical values, but we have also known how to clean it up. However, as long as we have not visualized it, it has also remained in the shadow and has not been able to give us knowledge. That is why it should be good what we record to ourselves. Its value represents one by itself. It should be the picture for our present forces what we have given to us there for the visualization.

Gladly we take a sheet of the good paper to hand and reach for ink and pen. We draw a point on this sheet and find out that no agreement existed for it, how one has to represent such a one. In fact, I know three simple variants for the representation of such a one, all of which shall have their justification.

A cross that has an intersection point.

A circle which encloses a point.

A small spot of color on the background.

From this we can see that it was by no means easy to represent something simple and to feel agreement with his own conception. Mathias Schneider has therefore chosen the trivial way for himself to create his works. In such a way he assumes that an unambiguous thing can be expressed correctly in several ways. Then it has been still the same what it was about.

A not so trivial way to designate his things will be the negative kind. For them there are no simple definitions, but almost infinitely many. There a negative definition embodies a derivation of a thing from the given outside of the sought one. It has been clear sometimes, but often it has not been clear to us what his negative definition has meant.

7 minus 3 instead of 4 embodies a negative information. Only because of a calculus known to us, we can calculate its value.

x minus y instead of z shall be the given scheme of the very simplest negative definition. It knows infinitely many variants.

The field of experience of a human being results from values and their assignment to the incidents of an existence. It does not represent a projection of the world into ourselves, but it should have remained independent of it and be able to stand for itself. That would be necessary, so that a concern of the human being can happen.

Thereupon, one can easily establish the difference of a thought versus the practical application of an action.

The worker takes a saw and with its help cuts a piece of wood in two.

The designer considers the functioning of a saw and recognizes its utility value for his cause by the purpose of the same.

So the wide field of emanation has an inner realm, which leaves things untouched but has touched us, and an outer realm, which constitutes the things we can consider. There both are in relation with each other through the human being and his mode of appearance. It is real that both together make up the reality of a human existence.

This should define what the author Mathias Schneider was really concerned with when he set up his show of works. He shows it to you with their help what constitutes a human existence. Of course his representation of it corresponds to an own elaboration, because it were his thoughts, which he brought into an idealized form, in order to be able to name them. With it he has created something which corresponds in trivial way to an expectation value for it. He describes the whole in the whole as such. The completeness of the representation divides into light and shadow areas. Some of it is to be known, everything, however, will always have embodied also something which must remain hidden because the words of a man are marked by his finite nature now once.

He has chosen a unified way of presentation of his views for it, because in this way the individual reader can be led to the continental parts of it, for which it is valid that they are fixed. He has shown and fixed it in such a way, because what is given with it has certainly embodied an essential approach for a man.

Thought

Excessive accuracy has seemed unscientific to us.
