How winners become masters of themselves

The truth is that we are all winners in life. Even if we feel lost, we are actually winning. The universe does not recognize losers. They simply don’t exist.
From a human perspective losers do exist, because we judge each other based on what we think we know, or how we think something should be.
Seen from a higher perspective all situations and circumstances are aligned with a greater plan. Even those who do evil have a place in the universe, simply because the universe does not judge. Yes, God, higher power, or however you want to call it, has no judgment over the choices that humans make. This is hard to swallow for us human beings, because that would justify the most horrible and disastrous events in history.
Due to the system of polarity, one thing can not exist without the other. Everything has an opposite side. Yet the quantity is not always in balance.
The karmic system in our world pushes humans to do better. It is not there to punish people, because that would imply judgment. Karma is simply there to balance the acts of the soul. The reason that Karma works is that it teaches us that what we send out, will (eventually) come back to us. In this way humans learn empathy, compassion and forgiveness. This however can occur over the span of many centuries. So karma teaches patience too

The Old vs. New… Past, Future, NOW!

The ‘old’ doesn’t trust the new.
It resists change and is suspicious of the new. It is in the nature of the ‘old’ that it starts to doubt the ‘new’. It doesn’t know the ‘new’ yet because it’s old. The old likes the old way… Period.
It does not know any better.
But when the ‘new’ wants to arise. The old has to make way for the new.
But because of the fear of ‘what is coming’, The old does not give up without a good old fight.
The ‘now moment’ is like a protective shield that brings you as safe as possible from the old to the new. Be aware: The ‘old’ tries to drag you back in the ‘good old times’.
From time to time, the old, will succeed in its attempts.
The old uses tricks and temptation to hold you back in old comfortable ways.
Like a baby that wants to be born, the new can not resist to come forward and grow. The new has no other option. And the only way to come forwards is when the ‘old’ makes space.
When change comes, it hurts like hell.
The pain is in the uncertainty of the new and in the boredom of the old. The new pushes from the inside, it wants to make way for the future. The old attacks you from the outside and keeps you captive in the past behaviour,thoughts,emotions, etc. When you are in the now, both the past and the future are coming to seduce you. The past is so comfortable, because that is what you know to be. The future calls for adventure, that can be exciting and scary at the same time! Both are necessary and only the right amount of balance between the two allows for a safe passage over the bridge between the old to the new.
In the end, the new is inevitable… it is a rule of life. But it usually won’t come without chaos from the old, that is screaming to be acknowledged by the new. Only in this way, the new can start fresh and pure.
Overtime the ‘new’ becomes the ‘old’ as the future one day will become the past. But right ‘NOW’ is actually all that we need. Relax in the knowing that the new will bring forth exciting new opportunities, new ways of learning, of living life in it’s full spectrum. It is all about learning to trust. The old has served us in wonderful ways, but is not anymore. And it’s time to surrender to the ‘new’ that comes through the now.

The corona crisis: a new perspective

This virus causes us to look deep within, to accept the situation and to surrender the illusion of control.

Stay safe and stay sane.

Together we will find solutions to battle this hidden enemy that is one of the greatest teachers of humanity today.

Good times are on the horizon!

Trust is the inner knowing that after the bad times, good times will follow.
Like after the rain, somewhere in the future the sun shows up again.
It is the law of duality that predicts that the bad is followed up by the good and the good is followed up by the bad.
This polarity system of going back and forth keeps us moving forward.
The bad times are experienced as negative, while they contain many positive lessons for the future. So that we can enjoy the good times even more and more intense.

In difficult times like these, our trust is put up to the test.
This is called having faith
When we have faith, we actually say in other words that we know that the good times are around the corner.
We don’t know when it comes and we don’t know how it comes. But it’s coming Continue reading Good times are on the horizon!

Written Meditation … Read slowly and Breath

How many more rounds do I have to walk
Before I finally catch my own tail
before I will say:  ‘enough now!’
enough is enough!
I am no fail.
And I am done fooling myself

Why all this suffering?
While I know peace
Why all the frustration?
While I know tranquility
Why all the confusion?
While I know….
How to break out the illusion

Why am I still fighting,
What for?
Was it worthy of my energy?
Has it opened a new door?
surrender the battle… and I lay down my arms
There is nothing to gain, nor to win
how do I expect something to grow when I chop it down,
even before the seed is about to sprout?

Being seperated from my divine self as result
Being divided within
Creating diffusion on the outside
back in the rollercoaster spin.
round and round
until I see. Continue reading Written Meditation … Read slowly and Breath

Creating a calm mind to find creative solutions within

When there is worry, there is fear involved.
If you experience fear, the mind is not calm.
Solutions to personal and global problems appear when the mind is calm.
Overthinking a problem, is the problem.
It is always based on fear and blocks the ability to receiving creative solutions.
The mind thinks it is finding solutions, but in reality it creates more worry,
which leads to new worries and more stress.
This is the pattern of the  worrying mind.

Meditation is a tool
To calm the mind and to sooth the worries,
To feel the connection in all of existence.
When we feel connected, there is less fear.
To be connected means that there is a form of love present.
When we are in the energy of love, fear and therefore worry can not exist.
So again: meditation is just a tool. It is not the goal.
There is no guarantee that when you do meditate, you will be in a 24/7 zen zone.
It does help though to become a master of the mind.
It helps to detach and to give a another direction to the ongoing thoughts.
Meditation helps you to become aware and with this awareness you can act in more efficient and effective ways.
Meditation is not a shortcut for the lessons we have to learn. Meditation is not the solution for the problems in our life. It is not the solution for inner/world peace.
It is just a tool to become more aware of the challenges we learn in life.

Happy Holy days!

Everyday is a Holy day. Or at least that is what everyday could be if you choose to put the magic in it. The choice is yours. If you decide to make today special, then so it will be.

Let’s be honest, the holiday seasons do have special magical powers, especially the ones in the winter. It is not special though because all of the stories we tell. Yes, the stories are part of the holiday experience. Stories about hope and peace, do contribute to this special feeling that we all together create. Stories of victory, of harmony and new beginnings. Holy days are special because, we humans, give special powers to those days.
All together
We put our best happy face on
We smile more
We do more kind things for one another
We take care of those who have less
We bless each other
We give presents to each other
We have empathy for the suffering of another
We sing songs of hope
We dress into our most beautiful clothes
We eat delicious prepared meals
We put on lights everywhere
We come together for a good time
We are grateful for what we have. And yes…. The magic works. All our effort influences our overall feeling. It influences our moods for the better and therefore the holidays are holydays. If nobody would make an effort, there would be nothing holy about the holidays. If we would not give meaning, there would be nothing special about the holidays. Continue reading Happy Holy days!
