Welcome to my website, \u201cSpiritual Living.\u201d My name is J\u00fcrgen Lang, and I am the site\u2019s administrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This site features articles on topics such as the question of one\u2019s own identity (\u201cWho am I?\u201d), the purpose of evil, how to find one\u2019s inner voice, what true love looks like, how constant and secure provision can be ensured on a spiritual basis, and what role meditation and thought control play in achieving success in life. Ultimately, it is about finding a way out of suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our present is marked by globalization, terrorism, brutalization, increasing vigilantism, cybercrime, fascism, and war. These problems are of increasingly existential importance. This is all the more true since humanity has maneuvered itself into a self-destructive relationship with the climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solutions have long existed; they have always been there. They are laid down in the great wisdom texts, albeit often in coded form. Moreover, ideals such as the Golden Rule or love for one\u2019s enemies seem irrational and implausible anyway. They have therefore largely disappeared from public consciousness. From the archaic principle of \u201can eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,\u201d on the other hand, humans have not strayed a single millimeter since their appearance on the earthly stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prince of Poets describes the prerequisite for liberation from personal suffering: \u201cFrom the violence that binds us all, the<\/u> person who overcomes themselves is freed.\u201d <\/em>This refers to overcoming the egocentric instinct for self-preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shared creed of the great wisdom teachings aims to highlight modern, meaningful approaches within the framework of this website. Their explosive relevance for the present is immense in light of climate change and war. They point the way out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The text content is not for the faint of heart, as it fundamentally questions virtually everything that is still considered an established worldview today. Forgiveness, non-resistance to evil, understanding the structure of evil, and love for strangers appear as implausible ideals, whereas the principle of \u201can eye for an eye\u201d in the form of revenge and retribution prevails as a fundamental pattern of behavior. A discussion of the applicability of refraining from retribution is met with skepticism even by well-meaning readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason for this is that almost all people fundamentally and almost exclusively orient their lives toward their own well-being. In doing so, they subject it to the basic biological instinct of self-preservation. This corresponds in principle to the life of lions in a pride: hunting for sustenance, organizing communal life, reproducing, resting, and fighting off intruders. The meaning of their existence is their existence. They cannot break free from this program. Humans are also subject to this animalistic program. For them, the meaning of their existence is likewise their existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet this existence is marked by uncertainty, loss, grief, pain, worry, jealousy, fear, and violence. Whatever form this suffering takes, humans regard it as a given and therefore do not even consider the idea of abolishing it, even though all religions show them exactly this. Instead, they try to fight suffering tooth and nail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this, even though the meaning of suffering is very clearly shown to humans through the teachings of wisdom, as expressed, for example, from a Christian perspective in the Parable of the Prodigal Son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For humans are the only mammals capable of breaking free from the program of egocentrism\u2014the biologically determined, ego-centered self-preservation that includes children, parents, partners, friends, and so on. This way out is the sole theme of the Sermon on the Mount, the Buddhist Noble Eightfold Path, the Quran, the Ten Commandments, the Hindu Bhagavad Gita, the Chinese Tao Te Ching, etc. It is the path to the preservation of all. <\/em>This means that I reverse the order: not first me, and later perhaps everyone else, but rather the other way around\u2014first everyone else, and then the necessary self-care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first consequence of this shift in consciousness is the stage of individual freedom from suffering, as described, for example, in the Book of Job; above all, however, it is the concrete experience of those who are on the spiritual path and who have persevered through the first and second stages of suffering. This change of direction, with the expansion of consciousness toward the spiritual level, is linked to the sacrifice of traditional attitudes toward all other people, not just toward migrants and other \u201cintruders into one\u2019s own pack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past millennia of Homo sapiens demonstrate how ineffective the religions\u2019 concept of existential salvation has been for humanity, but also how compelling the life experiences are of all those who have embarked on the spiritual path of Samaritan compassion and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any engagement with the themes of the spiritual path is painful. Yet nothing less than a radical shift in human consciousness is required to banish suffering from their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a retired teacher. For four decades, I lived a normal everyday life. Following a life crisis in which all the foundations of life I had believed to be secure were lost to me, I first set out in search of solutions, and later in search of the underlying causes. After many years of studying religions, during which I left all ecclesiastical and esoteric references behind, I found myself on a spiritual path. This brought me into direct contact with my intuition and, through it, to step-by-step guidance. As a result, I have increasingly become a person full of inner peace, who no longer needs to worry about anything and can lead a fulfilled and joyful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was primarily through my own experiences with suffering (beginning with my divorce) that this path of spiritual liberation opened up to me. It included, among other things, the knowledge to fundamentally not seek retribution, fundamentally not to judge, and fundamentally not to resist evil. The practical practice and the associated personal, concrete experience of overcoming suffering through inner intuitive guidance showed me how tangibly walkable this path is. The underlying wisdom is not my own, but rather that which I have discovered, followed, tested, described, and demonstrated\u2014that is, the wisdom I consider applicable to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the following topics\u2014whether they concern the higher aspect of love, the question of the meaning of life, the function of evil, the \u201cdivine spark\u201d within (Meister Eckhart), the question of truth, the security of sustenance, spiritual sex, love for one\u2019s enemies, or the understanding of pain and suffering\u2014all these contributions are not merely additional theories to the many that already exist. Nor are they vague counter-views and assertions: they are the results of my concrete, painful experiences with their subsequent consequences filled with meaning and happiness. These tangible experiences in everyday life are the proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of sharing them is to elevate spiritual living to a higher level; through this, one can lead a life free of worry and fear. It is no coincidence that the spiritual teachings of all cultures emphasize that a fundamental<\/em> shift in human consciousness is necessary to banish suffering from one\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following chapters aim to expand spiritual knowledge and connect it with \u201cgut feeling,\u201d the inner voice, and intuition. This also enhances\u2014or even develops for the first time\u2014the individual\u2019s capacity for love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLife\u2019s call to us will never end, \u2026<\/em>
Well then, heart, bid farewell and be well!\u201d<\/em>
(Hermann Hesse: Steps)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I\u2019ve finally found a website that offers genuine spiritual solutions without promoting the \u201ceverything is light and love\u201d school of mind coaching or yoga classes. The content isn\u2019t just information, but the essence of experiences\u2014pragmatic and authentic. That\u2019s the only way spirituality works today: by finding your own path to resolve your own suffering. Hats off to you, Mr. Lang!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
