When the seriousness of life begins for us, we are given an empty backpack, which we will gradually fill with our story. We mistakenly refer to this as "our life." But it is merely our life story and is often closer to suffering than to life in the true sense of the word. We are only too happy to identify with this sad story. Not because it's so beautiful or fun, but because others do it too, and it makes us feel less alone. We leave the disturbed self behind and disappear into the "we." This is how we find protection and security in the collective madness. We will explore this unbearableness in the second part of my lecture trilogy. It cannot be ruled out that we will once again encounter our evolutionary companion, the Neanderthals. They were ahead of us in many ways: They had time. We only have the clock...and it hasn't been ticking properly for a long time.

There sits a human being on a rock, watching the clouds drift by. And it needs nothing for that. Not even a name, and no 'I' either. Thousands upon thousands of years later, the clouds are still drifting across the sky, and the stone is still the same. But it is empty, because the human being no longer has time to watch clouds drifting by. It has a name and its 'I'; it is currently searching for its destiny. And, as we all know, you don't find that by sitting around stupidly on stones. After much effort and deprivation, and with a little luck, one day it will have found its destiny. It will then sit on a rock and watch the clouds drift by. And 'I' will forget that it has a name. But there is still a long way to go until then. Sometimes it takes a LIFETIME.
