could give up as it exists in all possible schools of thought and belief ... as a completely unattainable ideal ... Maybe then we would finally see what we really are and maybe that would enable us to relate to one another in a way that we do not today can imagine.

»The well-known models, which mostly come from philosophy, religions, spiritual schools, psychology, art and culture, hardly offer the opportunity to better grasp our life in a holistic way and certainly do not have the power to really change our lives. They are at best 'interesting', deal with partial aspects, and one can discuss their pros and cons for a long time - but mostly not more. You can stay in such illusory models for a few years and even feel comfortable with them. For example, by thinking that you have the ultimate knowledge or by closing yourself off against other models. The question arises, however, whether we need such models at all, and whether a fulfilled life in such models is really possible.

Living such a life is really an art. In order to learn an art, one can basically divide the learning process into two parts: one has to master the theory on the one hand and practice on the other. If I want to learn the art of piano playing, I first have to know the facts about the music, the different keys, the harmonies. I have to know a lot about rhythm and notation. And even when I have acquired this theoretical knowledge, I am by no means competent in the art of piano playing.
