Convicted in Absentia

2017-08-11T00:10:00.000+03:00

The judicial system wants me to stick to facts. Which facts?

A case is carefully prepared and presented based on manufactured facts that make up the reality of civil disobedience look like a crime.

Guilty, in absentia!

Linking the pieces of the puzzle

2013-05-23T17:54:00.000+03:00

The age of information is giving way to the age of patterns and connections.

Those who are happiest, healthiest, more creative, more abundant and ultimately more “enlightened” are those who can pierce reality, see the patters, use their whole mind to decode surface reality.All that has been kept apart, alienated and studied separately, must be joined. Everything connects to everything else. Everything concerns us and everything that captures our attention IS us.

Theory is not enough anymore, mere memorizing and repeating does not inspire knowledge. Filling our heads with disconnected information does not change our reality. Roaming from specialist to guru does not give us back our power of self-sustenance, self-reliance and self-guidance.

Shedding new light on Dyslexia

2013-05-23T17:41:00.000+03:00

Dyslexia is not a learning disability although all fingers point to education. Naming something and then continuing our focus based on what we have named is easy and comfortable. Yet symptoms are sometimes misleading and in this case, they are.

Sure there are difficulties but we need to leave those aside for a while to see the bigger picture or we are stuck in one very limited perception, which ultimately has no answers and no “cures”.

Dyslexics have a completely different perception of reality that non-dyslexics cannot grasp. Why? Again, I’ll use terms for lack of better ones, although they too have been over-used…

Left-brain thinking is linear, straight-forward, calculated analytically and logically. Reality is seen mainly through the senses and the mind’s belief structure. Someone who is left-brained (non-dyslexic) can store information in sequence, rely on verbal memory, organize and work within a linear structure. Left-brain thinkers follow multiple instructions easily and consider them to be a part of who they are. They don’t ask peculiar questions. They work and live productively in society, which doesn’t mean to say that they are happy, but that’s not our issue in this article. They get things done, they are punctual, they can analyze and examine a specified subject or issue. They are the keepers of the structure of society.

Right-brain thinking is totally different and mind-blowing for the non-dyslexic, left-brain thinkers...

The True Masculine

2013-05-13T22:52:00.000+03:00

The true masculine is not to provide stability, security, non-changed realities out of fear. He is to provide encouragement, wonder, support, freedom, the eagle’s view...

The warrior, the quiet sufferer, the wise and confident one, the true lover!

He can be patient because he has been hurt.

He can be confident because he is not dependent but free.

He is devoted in his choices because he has resurrected himself. He searches no more for he is found.

He can be supportive because he has felt doubt. He can respect because he values individuated expression.

He can admire and cherish because his attention is totally and willfully focused.

He can protect without crippling or preventing because he is an equal, because he has conquered and therefore recognizes all fear.

Let’s be frank!

2013-04-12T12:22:00.000+03:00

Get angry!

Be afraid!

Fear moves you from your comfort zone and helps you see what you have been unwilling to see. But if your inner sight is limited, if you have not learned to see with inner vision, fear turns to phobia and all hell breaks loose inside and around you.

You need to get up and shift your current perception NOW! You think you have eternity to move, but you don’t! You expect some external miracle but it won’t happen. You want someone else to save you but no one will.

Teach them well…

2013-02-23T09:50:00.000+02:00

This afternoon I was sitting by the beach, the sun had just sunk behind the mountains and it was peacefully magnificent watching the calmness and vastness of the sea spreading in front of me.

I was peaceful inside, my mind was empty of thoughts and worries and I felt a deep joy for life.

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows

If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

As I was softly singing to myself, the words touched deep inside, the very core of my existence, as my life flashed before me like a movie…

The truth about dyslexia

2012-10-24T20:39:00.000+03:00

How willing is the system that names, categorizes and assumes, based on isolated, limited information to drop all its theories and start researching all over again? How willing is it to confess its inability to know that which lies beyond its limiting perception?

These are just rhetorical questions of course, for the answer is obvious to the less submissive. Revolutionary answers cannot arise from a system that uses a closed thought process that is based on profit and self-importance.

There is much at stake; more than money, there is the very credibility of the whole scientific, medical, educational and state institutions at risk. For that reason, we should not expect any drastic changes as an apocalyptic change, in the near future.

What is a spiritual* teacher

2012-09-28T11:06:00.000+03:00

Does having “all” the answers make one a teacher? No, it makes one a wise one. A teacher is someone who helps you with the WAY to find your own answers, not one who dictates their own.

The wise share the answers that they find on their eternal journey but these answers (or insights) are not meant to be ends nor are they given for the purpose of creating followers, worshipers or devotees. They are meant to be used as beacons on your own journey, though in order to travel it you need tools to guide your way.

A teacher is someone who can provide those tools and has dedicated his or her life for the purpose of perfecting them, faithful to his/her life’s mission of being of service, through gratitude of being once served himself/herself.

Dare to doubt your own dogma?

2012-08-21T16:36:00.000+03:00

Here are some facts that your mind cannot handle and does not want to accept.

We are not one with everyone else. We are separated and different individual beings that cannot be one or the same.

We cannot have peace in the world. We can have peace inside, with ourselves, within our own being or not at all.

Relationships do not exist. The only relationship we ever have is the relationship we unconsciously have with our own ego. Unless this is recognized and accepted as truth, no other relationship or reality is possible.

We cannot all have abundance. Some can and will, some will not and cannot. Abundance is for the courageous, the committed and the devoted to their heart’s desire.

You can serve either others or yourself. You cannot have or do both.

Right-brained

2012-08-15T13:25:00.001+03:00

Most of the time, right-brained people do not exist in linear time in a conscious, focused way that left-brained people do. It's like they are on automatic pilot - having established a linear routine order that they follow and which they know works for them. They feel safe in it and worthy. Their subconscious takes over, something which they are very aware of thus they are grateful and permit the shift. They only "come back" to being focused in the linear here and now, if and when there is a need; a peculiar sound out of the ordinary, a hunch which calls them "back", a sudden thought needing their attention etc.

For most of the time, they are in an expanded state of awareness, which involves a lot more than the linear, contracted focus can grasp and includes ALL (images, emotions, information, insights, inspiration, guidance, connections and understanding etc.), which involve the expanded present moment.

Heart and Mind

2012-08-15T13:21:00.000+03:00

We cannot appreciate anyone else unless we recognize and appreciate ourselves first.

We cannot bring harmony to our relationships and the world, unless we first bring harmony within.

We cannot unite the feminine and the masculine without, unless we unite them within.

We are taught to acknowledge enemies without and we perceive the world as separate from our selves. No matter how much theory we study or how hard we would like to believe otherwise, perception does not change with wishful thinking, persuasion or striving. The tools we are using are the same tools that have distorted the perception, therefore cannot produce different results; dissolving the illusion.

Life’s Mission

2012-08-15T13:16:00.000+03:00

I realize now, that it takes a lot of courage as well as personal inner cultivation to finally accept your mission in life; to finally come to the realization that it is not grander or less significant than you thought, but that it IS. By the time you have expanded enough to realize that important truth about yourself, you have also grown and achieved such inner strength that there is no question about accepting it or not.

I also realized, one more time, only more deeply, that we can only speak our truth with no fancy input from the ego and no fear of the outcome, if we have whole-heartedly accepted it as our own and realized our true self.

A mission or soul’s purpose in life is not as evident as it may seem, because it exceeds roles, identities, “work” or anything else that the surface mind can have reference to. Many times you go through “absolute certainty” that you have found your purpose, only to doubt it or leave it behind you, because it was a temporary role you took on, which you gave your passion to.

Signs that you are asleep

2012-06-22T11:37:00.000+03:00

These are just some of the signs that you are sleeping in a dream-world, thinking that you are awake.

There are many more, that each person must discover for themselves and take responsibility for their own awakening.

To be asleep is to be unconscious of the fact that we are not the surface mind that governs our life, based on the programming and the feedback from the five senses. Being unaware is neither wrong nor right, but it does result in a very different perception and level of being.

Once we gain consciousness of our true Identity besides the ego-identity that we perceive, everything changes. Perception expands, we have different choices, we see a new meaning, live in peace, service and through meaningful action.

Awareness is always accompanied by responsibility and this always changes the point of perception. Responsibility is a choice and also a duty that we accept, having chosen to awaken.

But true Living begins at the end of our comfort zone!

The folly of light-workers

2012-05-29T16:50:00.000+03:00

Very early on, we are taught (mainly in a subconscious way) to fear the cycle of life. All our programming is based on the misconception that life and time is linear; that it unfolds in a straight line that reaches out from the past to the future. And yet…

Look around you, look at your own life by taking a step backwards to have a wider and thus clearer perception. Initially, see the most obvious:

We have 7 days in a week which recycle again and again, we have 12 months, 4 seasons.

Nature moves in cycles; the seasons, the tides, the sun, the moon… all exist in cycles of life, death, rebirth.

It is only our thinking that is fixed on linear perception, which is basically structured on duality. We attempt to concentrate on the positive, while trying to avoid the negative. The more we try to achieve that which we have named and categorised as positive, the more we experience the negative. It is merely a consequence, an essential result of our one-sided, limited programming, which manifests to experience.

Life is based on balance. All that needs to be done in order to return to balance, will be done.

Do’s and don’t s of Dyslexia

2012-05-28T11:52:00.000+03:00

Children with Dyslexia fall into a vast category of right-brained children, which includes children with Aspeger syndrome, AD(H)D and many more “syndromes”. Although each group has its own unique characteristics, as each individual also has, nevertheless, this vast category of right-brain dominant individuals have a totally different way of thinking and perceiving that is not yet understood or appreciated, in this left-brained society.

This article gives a little insight to parents of such unique children, which aims at providing a head start and right direction towards offering the best for themselves, their children and the whole family.

These are not things you will often be told, for a whole profit-based empire benefits from your ignorance, fear and guilt-based agreement to “fixing” your child. After nearly 50 years of personal experience and much teaching experience and unique contact with gifted children, all I can honestly advise you, while reading this article, is to open your mind and trust your heart.

You can never win

2012-05-14T17:56:00.000+03:00

How can I tell kids and especially teenagers that no matter what they do, no matter what they choose and no matter which turning they take, it will be wrong? Who will believe me and not fight me, when I tell them the truth? Who will not be afraid of the truth? But that’ is how it is and we are all indoctrinated to believe the opposite.

Everything is wrong because we live in a “wrong” existence. We chose to experience that which is wrong, that which we are not.

Why even try, when all you do and choose is wrong? Why strive? What for?

Love is a bitch!

2012-05-12T13:04:00.001+03:00

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Cruel? Which mind came up with this judgmental word in the first place? Is truth cruel? Because love is truth, make no mistake about it!

It’s your heart – love, which will come in and whisper to you (or scream if you're habitually not listening), “you’ve done it again, you’ve given away your power again, you’ve deceived yourself again, you are not true to yourself, again, you are not respecting yourself, again…!”

Living your dream

2012-05-03T10:24:00.001+03:00

Living your dream is based on love and trust; two words that the surface, linear mind does not understand and cannot help you attain.

Living your dream requires a different state of consciousness than the one we have been educated and brought up to live by.

First, you take responsibility of your current state of consciousness, of freeing yourself from your education and then you submerge totally to your life’s purpose.

You become who you Are, do what You are passionate about and really want…

· when you are able to include the whole world, the whole of existence in your individuality

· even if you would choose to do exactly the same thing when no one’s watching or witnessing your actions

· even if there is no personal gain – whether you already have all that you want or you have nothing at all

· no matter what obstacles you find in your way, you would still defend and trust and are devoted to your passion

· when you can be totally self-sacrificing and make your dream the center of your existence because it is the substance of your existence

· when it defines you, not you it because it is your life’s purpose and you have simply aligned yourself with it.

The language of the heart

2012-04-30T17:39:00.000+03:00

Most of our discussions with others are based on the mind. We exchange world views, we defend opinions, our beliefs and we declare our judgments based on how we interpret our own lives and the world around us. We live mainly in our heads, using our bodies to transport our heads as well as to serve the surface mind.

Rarely do we exist outside this mental state and on the rare occasions that we do, we are totally unaware of any other state of existence besides the one we have been educated – programmed to perceive.

We form relationships, achieve some goals, fail at others, gain and lose, change habits and interests but in the long run, none of it really matters. Nothing seems to totally fulfill us for very long, nothing seems to touch a deep, unexplained level of our being that we cannot even grasp or explain mentally.

We might succeed in persuading others, we might have gained much and we might even seem to “have everything”. But why is “everything” often not enough? And what is “everything”, when even that sees to change at different stages of our lives?

Gratitude

2012-03-19T13:52:00.000+02:00

If we don’t begin our day with gratitude, it’s like not beginning at all, just continuing from where the surface mind left off the precious day.

True gratitude is not finding those things that we are, have and do, to be grateful about. That only excludes a whole lot of opposites that the ego then uses against us. True gratitude is inclusive.

Everything we are experiencing is abundance and according to the law of love, which actually means that is FOR us and BY us, not against us or by anyone else. Being grateful for all helps us get outside the separating and isolating mind which has a distorted view on life.

The surface mind will use gratitude to hide what it fears to see, which is a trap that many light-workers fall into. Being willing to see where we have allowed lack to come into our life, is actually being responsible in that we are willing to recognize and dissolve any false beliefs that keep us captive and limited.

The art of observation

2012-03-17T13:42:00.000+02:00

Everything and everyone that you encounter in your reality is a reflection of yourself, or it would not be in your reality. All serve you. By observing your own reaction to any (big or small) encounter, you discover more about yourself. Uncovering all that is hidden from your consciousness, you become responsible in choosing who you want to be.

Observing yourself – your reactions, your feelings, your thoughts, your beliefs, your needs, your fears – takes commitment and discipline, which you acquire only when your will to do so is acknowledged and defined consciously. Will, which enhances commitment and discipline, become the courage (the basis) that you need as you shatter the identity that you are unconsciously limited in.

Self or ego identification only keeps you locked in fear, in the workings of the mind (an over cultivated left brain), which wants to defend that identity by attempting to control its environment and oppose life. In order to flow with life and live your highest potential in the present moment, you need to bring awareness to perception, so that perception may extend, finally surrendering to the will of the heart (the unrecognized and underestimated right brain), which is extended and inclusive; it is love, gratitude and abundance that manifests in matter when equally and wholly connected with elevated perception.

What a wonderful world!

2012-02-19T21:16:00.000+02:00

This is simultaneously a crazy and a magical world. If you believe everything you see, hear, taste, touch, even feel, you can become attached, consumed by it, addicted and also fooled by it. If you choose to remain detached, an exploring wonderer, you can marvel at it, learn from it and discover a lot more beyond it. Only if you don’t believe its truth. Because everything is subjective, everything serves the purpose of convincing you. It is beautiful and it is an ugly world. It offers happiness and sorrow, despair and magnificence. It is all real only or as deep as you experience and believe it all.

You own nothing because everything is temporary. All come and go, and you can only appreciate and make good use of it all, if you don’t attempt to hold on to anything.

So simple and yet so hard to accomplish because you are taught possession, you are taught lack and you are taught to hide. They are all lies and as long as you remain ignorant of that, you believe this world to be real and yourself to be stuck in its web.

The ego and observation

2012-02-01T21:16:00.000+02:00

The ego thinks that it can observe and assumes that it does. In reality, it has no such ability, nor does it even understand the meaning or the nature of the act of observation. Yet it is arrogant enough to pretend that it understands everything, simply because it has a symbol (word) for it and because it can mentally argue its position, its (limited) point of view.

Nothing that the ego understands or names is observation! For “to observe” you need to separate yourself from the ego, see the existing (yet hidden until you consciously will it) space between the ego and yourself. The very act of non--identification, of separation, is uncomfortable and painful on its own. But it is what can lead you to observation and its true function. You cannot accomplish observation without non-identification. It cannot be done. The ego will always take you back to criticism, naming it “observation”.

You can always detect which you are really engaging in – no matter what you name it – by where this leads you. If you find yourself perceiving outside threats, a separation between you and others and if your expressions (through action) seem unchanged, then you know you have been criticizing through the ego, allowing it to draw you into its limiting reality. If you are really observing, you are “magically” led to learning, to consciously discovering aspects of yourself and of others that you weren’t aware of before. You begin to understand the connection and feel grateful for all that helps you expand. Your expressions (actions) begin to change, as you shift to becoming more of your Self.

Balance is inevitable

2012-01-09T23:50:00.001+02:00

This is a time when much will be revealed. You need to have sharpened your observational skills in order to really be aware of what is being played out.

Will it be messy? It already is and we can make it even messier. Will it be amazing? It already is and we can make it even more so, if we so choose to. Frankly, it is not a matter of going either way. We are at a place of our evolution when it is going both ways, at high speeds. This is a huge challenge for the programmed, linear mind that does not comprehend and finds the whole concept utterly illogical. Consequently, it will try to enforce the “either way” concept, to justify and verify its existence, at all cost. Of course, it is a lost battle, but the programmed mind does not know this nor does it want to get out of its one-sided perception. Currently, the greatest battles will/are being fought, to prove either perception, to justify and amplify the polarity that it supports.

Yet balance is inevitable. When each polarity is pushed to its limits, the other is equally amplified too. In full circle they collide and merge into one another, creating something totally new that emerges from the union. By wanting to avoid the collision, they hinder the union that paradoxically is wanted.

More and more this battle of duality is surfacing, as this is the age of revelation. Never before has there been a time when truth is not, nor can it, be hidden. True intentions, true feelings, true beliefs, true goals are all exposed or admitted. Transparency is unavoidable and inescapable.
