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.

——-If this is my life then it’s good——-
With all the pain, sorrow and suffering
With all the grief, sadness and anger
With all the disappointments, anxiety, frustration and confusion

I have a roof and I have food
I have some family and people that care about me
i have the company of myself to get me through the darkness
I have my guides and angels that guide me
I have high hopes
I have the opportunity to experience life in its full spectrum.
I have potentials that are uncovered.
I have a future to look after
With all that goes wrong
At least I have

I can choose, I can be and I can do
I am a free spirit

I can accept, surrender and forgive.
I can ask, pray and receive
this is life in a nutshell,

I am grateful for what I have
I am grateful for that I am
I am
If this is my life, then it’s good.

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!

The irony of perfection

Who is it that decides what perfect is?
Who are you to judge that something is not perfect?
The irony of perfection is that it is a concept,
Some ‘thing’ that many strive for and yet nobody knows exactly what it is.
Perfection is an image, It is an abstract concept
Not one definition of perfection is  the same, because one simple reason.
Perfection is subjective.
Perfection is an opinion.
Perfection is not a fact.
It is quite hard to satisfy an opinion. One day you like blue and the next day you might like red. So what will it be?
Opinions are changeable like the dutch weather and therefore not very reliable.  Continue reading The irony of perfection

Be different, Be brave, Be your self

Last couple of years I’ve been hearing from people that i’m weird, odd, different, unusual, That they can’t put me in any box, that they can not label me with any label. It’s funny, because in the past I used to feel this way as well. Though I think I always could cover it up very well. In a way I must be a great actor, because I could fit into any group. I could be what the other wanted me to be. That is a superpower. But it is not so beneficial when it controls you, or better said: when you allow others to control you.

I always thought I had a sense of who I was, until I started this path of self transformation. It was my false sense of self that kept confirming that it knew itself. Where actually the real self is nothing like it. When you are just yourself, you don’t have to go looking for yourself anymore.

But I have stripped myself partly off my former identity. The core of who I am, is set in stone. It is unchangeable. But all that I was not, the false self, crumbled away. I had to confront myself. See myself ‘naked’. Over and over again. Because no, the process is not done and definitely not finished. But slowly, slowly, I get a real sense of what it is to be me. Some days better than others. And in one situation it is more clear then in another. It’s hard, It’s though, It’s painful, but oh God. There is nothing more satisfying to see yourself, as you really are. To see yourself growing into a more loving human being. To care less about what others might think of you and being less sensitive to their projections and opinions.  Continue reading Be different, Be brave, Be your self
