In Slovenia, Europe, skiing and ski building has a very long and at the same time completely unique tradition. This tradition is rooted in the region Bloke, a plateau region with proverbially the largest amounts of snow and snow days. In this region skiing downhill the snowy slopes was practiced long before it was widely recognized as a recreational activity and when, throughout Europe and other parts of the world, skis were used merely as means of transport and hunting. The inhabitants of the Bloke region are the first people in history who were observed of making turns on the snowy slopes. In 1689, Johann Weikhard von Valvasor described these “pioneers of the turns” in the book The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola, where he wrote: “No hill is too steep to prevent them from sliding down even if it is so densely packed with trees; because they twist down in turns as a snake when obstacles are in their way.”
Being of an infinite value
Man is a being of an infinite value. If he would respect the gifts of life with all his awareness, he would – in his unawareness – represent the greatest treasure of nature. And when two would allow to be a pair to each other, the natural rule of subconscious flow would start running between them – not in their captivity, but in complete freedom and beauty of their nature.
Natural flow of life runs within us always when we allow it and don’t dictate reality by our own will. But as soon as we wish to limit life into our own riverbed, we interrupt the natural flow of life with our overtaken time and step in pair with ourselves. This is because life is not ours, but we are of life. We cannot name life with our name, only life can name us, if we allow it to.
Society in which we live today is like a cheap sale where money is worthier than every soul. In it we are constantly overtaking time and thus interrupting the natural flow of life. Always when an artificial flow conquers a society and starts to rule in it, all creativity and development dry up. In this time no one is reaping nor sowing, everyone is just trying to be a faster predator than the other. This way life has lost all of its real value. And it would be enough only to give up our awareness in the name of life.
If your soul is humble and devoted, you are treasuring life with infinite value, because you are forming pair with what is real. If in your awareness you are forming a pair with obstinacy, obstinacy conquers your subconsciousness and overtakes you against your will and interrupts all the spontaneities of life.
Life runs through the unawareness of the humble, not through the awareness of the smart. Pairs are formed subconsciously. No one can include or exclude someone into or out of a pair. Only subconsciousness can do it, in accordance with what you belong to. The time in which you could choose your own pairs and dreamed your affiliations has passed. Time of subconsciousness was born in the distant future, in the near future it has opened the doors of pre- and post-time and thus unveiled and delineated dreams from reality. Now the subconscious flow runs synchronously with the present, therefore man’s inner captivity on one side and freedom on the other are growing ever stronger.
Subtle forms of time
Those who strive to leave all the forms of their identity, are stopping time within themselves, and within them eyes of time are opening in which feedback is awakening…
God’s will cannot implement itself on its own. It needs its carrier. It needs you. And until it finds a sufficiently merciful soul, it remains without its form.
Exactly the same feeling is speaking to everyone, everyone is hearing the same voice, the voice of life – the only difference is that someone respects it, and someone ignores it not allowing it within himself. You alone are the content and the form of life, but as long as you defend the borders of your identity, you are only dying in it; and the contents of life are only sleeping inside of you as long as you are protecting them as your own.
The forms of time or the feedback-forms bring peace to you, while the forms of space or the origin-forms confirm your spatial or physical identity. The more man is holding on to his own time in space, the less forms of time he can allow. Thus in every step of the overtaken time, he is hurrying in order to preserve his space. However, the more he is hurrying, the more he is being carried away in time and into a more difficult psychological and physical distress he is falling. He is like a wounded animal caught in a trap. Because man is alone is a trap to himself and only alone can he save himself out of it.
Every idea is a living fluid of life. An idea is never in a hurry, because it is neither too slow nor too fast. It cannot be in an overtaken nor in a delayed time, since it doesn´t have its own time, but is waiting for you – the other side, to awaken in you and obtain its time-form in space.
One must be able to remain silent on his own account in order to allow life to start speaking within him. Only in him, whose heart is open, an idea can find its home. In him, who opens his heart, an idea can – by the rule of feedback – freely arise and mature into a time-form. On the other hand, the one who is outrunning time and is trying to own ideas as means of his spatial or physical identity is hard and brutal to everything subtle. As everything within him serves only for his identification, nothing can be formed within him – everything inside of him is dead, as he gives no space to anything. While he is sleeping – blinded by his own dreams – life sweeps away, because he has closed the eyes and the doors to everything real.
