“Viele Menschen können mit der Bibel nichts anfangen, weil sie glauben, sie müssten alles darin wortwörtlich nehmen, Jesus soll Wasser in Wein verwandelt und auf dem Wasser gelaufen sein? Für sie ist die Bibel ein Märchenbuch. Andere wiederum warnen geradezu davor, alles wortwörtlich zu nehmen, und fordern stattdessen biblische Texte, wie die von den Wundertaten Jesu, historisch-kritisch zu analysieren. Beide Lesarten sind aus meiner Sicht für sich allein nur sehr schwer durch zu halten.”

“Mittel- und Zeigefinger sind dabei ausgestreckt und der Daumen leicht gekrümmt. Das katholische Zeichen soll auf die Dreifaltigkeit verweisen. Es erinnert aber auch stark an das Peace-Zeichen. Als mir Emmanuel das erste Mal das Tattoo nach dem Gottesdienst zeigte, erklärte er mir: "Das ist Jesus. Er bestellt zwei Bier. Eins für Jesus. Eins für Petrus. Ich liebe Jesus.”

“If you want enlightenment to happen ever, you have to be ready to wait for it. Even if it comes in eternity you are ready to accept it, you are not in a hurry. Then it can come instantly too. A man who is ready to wait forever is very relaxed, knows no tension, no anxiety, no anguish. In that relaxed moment, satori, samadhi, enlightenment is possible. You attain to enlightenment only when there is no ego to demand - there is no demand, there is no demander. Time creates the ego. The ego does not exist in animals because they are not conscious of time. The ego does not exist in children because they are also not conscious of time. When you become conscious of time you become conscious of many things. First, the consciousness of time creates the fear of death. You immediately become conscious of death. Time and death, they are not separate at all. The moment you become alert about time you become alert about death because time is running out fast, death is coming, death is there and you have to do something before death grabs you. Then fear, anxiety.... In that fear and anxiety, in that impatience, you can go on searching but you will not find. It is not that you have to find God, it is that you have to allow him to find you. So you have to be in a receptive mood, in a non-desiring, non-demanding mood, utterly at ease, as if it has already happened. There is no need for it to happen, it is as if it has already happened. With this silence, this peace, with this non-tense state, it happens.”
