Love is, without question, life’s greatest experience.
An experience that touches the human heart in a spiritual way, like nothing else can do.
When the spiritual force of love, is mixed with the mental force of romance and the biological force of sex, the obstructions between the finite mind of man and the infinite intelligence are removed.
Then a genius has been born.
Some people think they should convince others, that their point of view is better than the rest.
They believe everybody should listen to them, and sometimes they scream to get the attention, they get violent in words or in actions.
They are really convinced they can change others, and they keep on trying harder and harder.
But getting to be right, is giving to be wrong.
I’m not like that. I never try to “convince” people, even though maybe sometimes you get that impression. If so, I’m sorry, ’cause my point of view is not better or worse than yours. It’s just different. For me, my way of living and my points of view, have enabled me to be happy, succesful, healthy, living and experiencing life in a deep sense.
My only intention is to share my things with you, to tell you how I see things. There might be things you like, there might be things you don’t like.
That’s ok. I don’t have the wisdom and truth, I’m just learning like everybody else. I realise my points of view may be different than most other people. That doesn’t make them better or worse, just…different. I don’t judge others, I don’t decide how they should live their lives, I’m not in your shoes.
I just see many people around me, struggling in their lives, wondering what is happening, not knowing who or where they are.
Sometimes I have the same feelings, and I’m always thankful there are people that guide me to the path that feels right for me.
If I can contribute to other people’s happiness, their luck and joy, I gladly do so, by just listening to them and sharing my points of view.
It’s my freedom to say and do my things, as long as I don’t hurt anybody, and I strongly believe I do not hurt other people, I don’t have that power.
Only other people can get hurt if they let me, and still than only their beliefs and not “them” are hurt.
It’s your freedom to listen or not, to make your own choices or not, whether they are concious or not.
I’m just here to share, nothing more, nothing less.
With only good intentions.
No matter how you treat me.
And I have been mistreated numerous times, by people I had not expected it from.
But I have chosen not to get hurt by them anymore, I choose my own feelings, and, how can you ever get mad at the unconciousness of other people?
Most people live completely unconsious.
And how can you blame someone, if he actually doesn’t really know what he is doing?
“Forgive them father, for they do not know, what they are doing.”
Follow your own path, you are the only one who knows what’s best for you.
And if I can inspire you, great!
And if not, that’s great too!
That’s what freedom is all about.
Death is all around us, just take a look and you will see it every day, on the television, in the newspapers, maybe very near to you. But why is it that we pay so little attention to it? About death, there are just 2 things for sure: everyone of us will die one day, and no-one knows exactly when.
No-one expects to die, think about the recent plane crashes in Russia, India or Libya. None of them expected their lives to end. They took life for granted, just like us. Doesn’t everybody know stories about people who just got ill so suddenly and passed away? It can happen to everyone, your body can collapse any moment, or you can die in an accident.
Every now and then you should ask yourself the question: “Imagine that I would die tonight, then what?”
Death is a reality the comes without warning.
Only those who understand that life is so fragile, know how precious it is.
Live your life from moment to moment. Because that is all there is.
THIS is the moment. Live it.
Last Sunday I went to a satsang in Amsterdam with Isaac Shapiro (http://www.isaacshapiro.de), a spiritual guru, who gave me some great insights about “hope”. It learned me to let all hope go, which, at that moment felt great and opened new doors. He really inspired me to see things differently.
Today I found out, it’s still so easy to get frustrated when things don’t go your way, how easily you can fall back in old patterns that make you feel helpless.
Fortunately those moments don’t last long anymore and they must be good for some reason. Whatever happens, always find your consciousness again and look back at your actions and behaviour. There’s always a chance for new things, ’cause what happened, is not real anymore in THIS moment.
Anything can happen NOW. Don’t give your power away to someone else or to the circumstances. YOU are the source of all things that happen. And yeah, also I make mistakes 
, lots of them actually! Although real mistakes don’t exist, there are just lessons to be learned. Just results you create, that you might not like. It’s in your hands to create other results.
Nothing happens without a reason, even if you don’t get it at all. Believe in the wisdom behind it. One day you will understand.
One day I will understand why the things happen as they happen.
For now, all I can do is to accept.
Accept that I have to let go…
My biggest challenge, because I really suck in letting go…!
There’s just one way…not avoiding it, but going right through it…with all fears and doubts, it’s the only way.
Let it go.
Make yourself free.
I have a dream, a fantasy, in which we are all united.
In which we live a life in abundance, in which everything is good, in which unconditional love is the one and only existing power.
And my intention is to do my every best in creating that world.
Are you with me?

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.
Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
Li anche la notte è meno oscura.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano.
Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.
Translation:
In my fantasy I see a just world,
Where everyone lives in peace and honesty.
I dream of souls that are always free
Like the clouds that float
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
In my fantasy I see a bright world
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that float
In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That blows into the city, like a friend.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the clouds that float
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.
Why expressing emotions is so important. And knowing that you are expressing them, to observe your emotions.
For those who do not know: Eckhart Tolle is one of the most inspirational spiritual leaders of today and best seller with books like “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth”.
Whose life are you living? Is it yours? Really?
Or are you living the way society, your family, your friends, your boss, your partner, your children, the politics or the government wants?
Who is telling you that you cannot do things? What dreams do you have? And who is holding you from achieving those?
Take a look at yourself.
You begin your life with nothing.
You will leave your life with nothing.
Isn’t it time to actually live in between?
Think of how you want to be remembered when you’re gone…really…how do you want to have lived your life?
I know I will be able to look back at my life and honestly say that I have loved, I have laughed and I have cried.
I’ve lived a life that’s full, I do it every day now and I will do it for the rest of my life, no matter how long that will be.
Regrets I’ve had a few, but too few to mention.
And everything I do, I do it my way. Because it is my life.
For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
And you?
