Geliebte ungeliebte Begleiter

3 02 2010

Aus einem Traum:

Ich bin in einem weißen Labyrinth, oder einem hell erleuchteten Kellergeschoss mit weißen Wänden. Ich bin alleine und verirrt, und suche nach meinen Begleitern. Es kommt mir in meiner Panik ein grinsender,scheinbar wohlwollender Mann entgegen. Er scheint mein Begleiter zu sein. Ich freue mich sehr, ihn zu treffen, bin erleichtert und von Herzen dankbar. Doch schnell entpuppt er sich als Marionette eines Wahnsinnigen. Es droht mir keine Gefahr, aber nichts macht Sinn in seiner Gegenwart. Ich gehe weiter, verzweifelter denn je und stoße schnell auf eine Gruppe von drei oder vier Männern und Frauen. Das müssen die richtigen Begleiter sein! Endlich bin ich nicht mehr alleine.

Was dann jedoch passiert kommt unerwartet. Der scheinbar wohlwollende Mann, die Marionette, ist auch unter ihnen. Sie sind alle Marionetten desselben Wahnsinnigen! Ich will diese Enttäuschung nicht mehr, ich will diese Angst nicht mehr und höre auf die zermürbende Stimme im Hinterkopf, die sagt: “Mach dir nichts drauß. Du willst doch schließlich nicht mehr alleine sein, oder?”. Ich willige ein, mich ihnen anzuschließen, es ist mir lieber, zusammen mit dem Wahnsinn zu sein, als alleine. Wir versuchen gemeinsam zum Ausgang des weißen Labyrinths zu finden, doch es scheint als müßten wir andere Leute davon abhalten, uns zu finden. So laufe ich in Panik schreiend auf eine Tür zu, durch die gerade ein “Feind” in einen anderen Gang gegangen ist. Es schien nichts Bedrohliches an ihm, er scheint sogar sympathisch, aber die Panik, die Stimme in meinem Kopf, hielten mich dazu an, dir Tür in Windeseile hinter ihm zu verschließen.

Es passierte allerdings irgendetwas, und es schien als ob es bereits passiert war, als ich zustimmte, mich den Marionetten des Wahnsinns anzuschließen. Die Welt um mich herum wurde unwichtiger, sie war noch da, aber anstatt meiner Begleiter in Fleisch und Blut war nun ein BEGLEITER bei mir, der mich lehrte, die gesamte Szene friedvoll zu betrachten. Anstatt mit einem Körper identifiziert zu sein, schien ich zurückzutreten und unter unbekanntem, aber echtem Schutz zu stehen. Ich konnte mich vom Wahnsinn distanzieren, meine gehetzten Augen fanden einen Ruhepol. Die Welt, das Labyrinth aus weißen Wänden, war nun mit einem glitzernden Silber überzogen, das sanft und gleichmäßig durch alle Formen durchschien. Ich konnte in Stille atmen.

Was ich glaube, auf Was ich hinweise

2 02 2010

Es ist mit einem Wort beschrieben: Freiheit.

Es ist die kompromisslose Freiheit, die ich meine. Es ist nicht die Freiheit wie in “ich kann mein Schicksal wählen und dorthin gehen wo ich mein Glück vermute”. Es ist die FREIHEIT wie in “nichts, was die Welt über mich sagt, ist wahr. Nichts was die Welt über sich sagt, hat irgendeinen Einfluss auf mich. Alles was ich jemals brauche oder wünsche ist bereits Jetzt.”

Alles, was ich bin ist FREIHEIT. Beschränkungen jeglicher Art sind die Lehre der Welt. Sie sind gänzlich falsch. Wie könnte Beschränkung definieren, was ewig ist?

Dieses Unfassbare, Ungreifbare versuche ich für dich mit diesem Blog in Worten abzubilden und dich in Bildern darauf hinzuweisen. Ich biete dir mein Leben als Hinweisschild für dein Erwachen. Ich lade dich zu einer Erfahrung deines SELBST ein, das für einen jeden von uns das SELBE ist. Es ist frei, es ist unbegrenzt und es ist ewig. Bitte halte Ausschau nach dir SELBST. Dies ist deine Einladung.

Willkommen zu HAUSE.

For the heart: Dr. Seuss Quotes

16 01 2010

Hello everyone,

even though I didn’t grow up with his stories and books, the older me still recognizes that the little boy within me would have appreciated his work very much: Dr. Seuss. I’d like to share those quotes with you, let them remind you of what really matters:

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose.”



Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.”



From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.”


“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”


“Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So… get on your way.”


“If you never did, you should. These things are fun, and fun is good.”


“I meant what I said, and I said what I meant. An elephant’s faithful, one hundred percent.”


“So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a

chore for the reader who reads.”


“And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.”



“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”


Thanks for the inspiration, Dr. Seuss!

How to deal with a world that isn’t there?

13 01 2010

Ok, here comes the nut to crack (or is it open already?):

If it is so, that our senses show us a world, that is effectively not real – how then do we (whatever “we” in essence is) deal with it? How do we arrange our daily life, what is our basis for plans, how do make sure that our needs are met?

Well, the answer is: no one knows. We are experiencing something that is an illusion, a dream, a halucination, a hologram, a matrix – whatever works for you. Depending on your state of mind you might only accept this on an intellectual level. However, even for those who live only in concepts about Truth, there is the right time to open up to the experience of what living in an illusion truly means. However, even if this happens, we are likely to come back to our ordinary way of seeing things and have  a lot of questions. What does this mean now for me and how do I live my life from now on?

'Know thyself' is not an appeal to accumulate more concepts about you. It is an appeal to let all concepts about you go.

No change of circumstances is asked of you, unless you feel inspired to create a life situation around you, so you can spend more time investigating your True Nature. As it might have become obvious to you now is, that you are not a body. You don’t even have a body, the body is merely an assumption, a conceptual construct (past experiences projected into the the future; whereas both, past and future, are non-existent).

Still, we hold the belief in a body very firmly, and thus do have to clothe, to feed, to bathe the body, and have to give it comfort. We don’t have to discard the old ideas about “how to look after the body”, only because we glimpsed that it is not real. Instead our best and most gentle advise is to keep doing what we do, and give every single concept about the body, about the world, to the Light that sustains our live. Over time (and you might have discovered this already) you gain trust and faith, that the Light does solve all your worries and problems. Not only that you carry less and less worry with you in your mind while your life is going haywire. But also do you discover that in actual fact what you thought your problems to be, never turn into experienced reality. This is because they are taken care of by someOne who is beyond our sensual experience. You will still experience ‘negative’ situations, but there only True purpose is to offer you a chance to hand over your old concepts about yourself, life, Truth, the world, and the body. Because really – we have no clue how things Really Are. Thus, all our concepts and knowledge turn out to be baggage and the best and only thing we can do with it, is to hand it over.

Love Is.

PS. Check this out in your own life: Everything in this world, every single concept that we have, somehow relates to the body.

We see only the past

8 01 2010

This is an interesting concept, worth exploring and investigating: While looking at one object we only see preconceived ideas about it. The perception of a cup in front of me is pre-occupied with thoughts about other cups I once held in my hand, the tastes I once experienced from drinking from a cup, and other experiences and situations where cups where involved. This mishmash of thoughts is what I experience instead of just the beingness of the cup.

But what about new objects in shape or form, eg. the first cup? The first cup that I ever held in my hand or saw or experienced? Was that free of past thoughts? No, because I already had thoughts about materials, surfaces, textures, similar sizes, etc. So again, I only see the past when I look at a cup for the very first time.

Ok, then what about the first time I ever experienced a surface, a material, a texture? Did I experience “it” really as what it was, its pure essence? Well, this goes back a long way, and this rare occasion is probably hard to remember. We have to rely on sources other than outselves to answer this question. The answer is: No.

How come? What each one of us is in essence is One. One is One, is One, is One. There is no separation. This means, as soon as I perceive something (subject perceives object) I experience separation. There is no subject and object in Oneness. Therefore I must be hallucinating when in perceive! Not only objects, but also sounds, flavours, hot and cold, etc.

So what was first? The cup or perception of the cup? Both.

So in essence we can say that every perception is not real. It is a halucination, it is not Truth. We cannot experience What Really Is through senses. In order for senses to work we must believe in a mind trick, called the past. I need past experiences in order to perceive something. Past is basically the idea of separation. Past is not here, it is not Now, it is separate from Now, and cannot be seen, retrieved, lived, re-imported into the Now. Yes, it never even existed! It is a fact however, that we do believe in the past. Yet, this doesn’t make past real.

So here we see, that we need the belief in “the past” in order to perceive some_thing. I’d like to say that all sensory perceptions are merely illusions. It is not real, and it will never be real. On the other hand, nothing that you experience with your senses will ever touch in the slightest What You Really Are.

Love to all.

Let things happen, be in the Now

19 12 2009

On “the path” e are confronted with an utter dilemma: What we are in essence is not physical. Call this essence light, love, God, spirit, pure conciousness – it doesn’t matter. What counts is that we are not ruled by the rules of the world. Nevertheless, it appears to us that we live in a world, that we are bodies, and that we have to mind worldly activities to make sure we meet our material needs, and to have goals to achieve that.

So how does one live according to “spirit”, on a journey to reveal this inner core, to realize what we are in essence?  Material goals don’t appear to be part of this journey. Quite the contrary, it is about the non-physical. It is all about the eternal Now. It is all about “not judging”, it is about letting go of preconceived ideas. How do plans and goals fit into it?

Like that!

Make goals work for your awakening. In the morning, come up with goals for the day, and then tell yourself

“Today I will make no decisions by myself.”

Remind yourself of the day you want to experience, your goal.

“If I make no decisions by myself, this is the day that will be given me.”

Let goals happen, be in the Now

The only thing that you now need for your day to happen is: letting go of your own plans, of judgement, and let your activities arise out of intuition. You don’t know how to make your goal happen, and you don’t need to. In fact, doing so will make it harder or prevent your goal from meeting you. Each time you realize that you loose your inner peace, you have gotten in the way of your goal. Just let your goal happen, and it will. Come back to peace, come back to now. Remember what your goals and your desired experiences for the day are, and listen to the next step.

This way you learn to let go of judgement, you remember to come back to now and peace. And besides that, you let your goals unfold into your life.

Don’t be put down if it does not work straight away. It is the way to peace. Our worldly conditioning is still strong however, and we are tempted to come up with own plans, ideas, and judgments about “how to reach our goal”. Drop this habit step by step.

For much more details and helpful hints on “how to let your goals happen” see Chapter 30 in “A Course in Miracles”.

En-joy!

Berlin Session: Living the happy dream

16 12 2009

This is brilliant! Something like this doesn’t work when your mind is not in peace. Enjoy and let Life flow…

“Like a child’s infinite dreams, is the endlessness of love.” Renee Tripp





What exactly IS a Berlin Session?

2 12 2009

The city Berlin is a symbol for unity. Berlin also is a symbol for overcoming stark physical and political barriers, re-inforced by the strongest nations on the planet at the particular time. Yet, the natural flow of unity overcame these barriers easily at the right time, and cleared the ground for peace, understanding, and harmony. How did it all start? With a change of mind.

“Whatever barrier is thought to last forever, whatever seems to be unforgiveable, can and will be overcome.”

Overcoming barriers naturally

A “Berlin Session” therefore is any period in your life, in which you choose to see things differently. A period in which you don’t stick to what you have learnt, but in which you are open to new ideas, new perspectives, and allow the new thought to enter your mind. In a Berlin Session you are asked to let go of “the old” in your mind, to forgive grievances no matter how strong standing they are, to allow a little room for peace to arise where you have been stuck before, to allow compassion and true connection with others to come into your life, to allow yourself to see that you are not alone.

A Berlin Session can last for one breath. A Berlin Session can last for your entire life. All that it asks you is to be open for a change in your mind. Try it out now. Stop reading for a few seconds and take a deep breath.

….

You just created a space for peace in you. This is all it takes.

From this new tiny little space in you, you can discover the world anew. New possibilities can arise now, new paths can find its way to you. You can literally change the whole world from this tiny space in your mind. You simply need to allow it to happen.

This is an invitation to allow peace, and to share your journey.

Best wishes to each and everyone.

Experiment with Life

30 11 2009

The following is an experiment you can do with Life. You can use it for any length of time, as long as you feel comfortable with it. You don’t need any requirements, except a tiny little bit of faith. Here it is:

Choose your playground. This might be a morning at work, a sunday afternoon, a night at the clubs. The rule is: Do NOT plan. Do not think what the right thing to do is. Let Life show you, what it wants you to do.

Let Life show you, where it wants to take you. Helpful is this: whatever you encounter, it is not an attack. See everything as an invitation of Life to play with you as equal partners, as one. It works in any situation, and can be amazing in the most mundane settings. If you like adventure and action I recommend a dynamic setting, like a night out. Stroll along and see where it takes you, stop whereever your interest is aroused and see what doors open, what conversations arise. Life wants to show you something, let it be. What kills the fun is when you try to tell Life what it should be like. Be open, just a little bit is enough.

Enjoy yourself!
