For those who don’t know, 服务器’ Society is a school of thought that helps people to know themselves and live a good life. This book came out of the President’s speeches, seminars, and discussions with members of Omilos and is extremely helpful for everyone.
‘Most people do not live in the present, we do not live in the now. We dream, we fantasize about where we once were, where we had a good time, how beautiful or ugly something is. Or respectively what we will do sometime in the future. But if you ask someone “how are you now, what are you doing, where are you?” they don’t know exactly, so they are not conscious of the moment they are living in. If you are not conscious of the moment in which you are living, then you are simply not living it, so you cannot change anything, you cannot improve anything, you cannot transmute anything.’
With simple and meaningful words, the author gives food for thought and leads readers to new paths of knowledge. After reading the above paragraph, many of you – if not all – will agree that the pace of our lives is so fast that we are forced to make certain movements mechanically , while our minds are thinking about the future and not focusing on the moment, the now.
其结果是, we become overwhelmed with anxiety, experience panic attacks and live with various phobias.
The author encourages the readers to become observers of their own bodies as well as of their thoughts and emotions. It is the first step to experiencing the now, the moment. The next step is thinking spherically. Thinking about a topic of concern with full awareness, for only then can we make our thoughts deeper and balance them.
The last step to feel good is selfless service. Only then is our soul filled with beautiful emotions and there is balance in our lives.
‘Vision, work, actualize. 简单, isn’t it? When you work for something and you really want it, you burn for it. You burn to make it happen, you burn to actualize it, therefore you work with all your being to actualize it. Can there be something unachievable then?’
The author does not wag his finger at his readers. He does not proselytize, he does not consider himself a philosopher. He simply helps those who wish to know themselves, opening up new horizons and new perspectives for them.
Summary.
With this book that you are holding in your hands you are embarking on an adventure…
…like when you throw a paddle into a calm lake and it begins to create circular ripples that spread out…
…like when a beam of light passes through a prism and is dispersed into the colors of its spectrum…
…like when you follow the thread of Ariadne…
…like the question in zen philosophy of whether the bridge is moving or the river…
…simple, isn’t it?
When you are in a dark room, you learn to make a simple move: to press the switch and turn on the light.
