Selfrealization

What if God is one of us?

What if God is the good guy,
the bad guy, the stone, the dog?

What if God is what you like,
don’t like, project unto others?

What if God is what you see, hear,
smell, sense, feel and taste?

What if God is the earth, the sun,
the moon, the universe and beyond?

What if God is everything that comes,
woven in the fabric of your destiny?

What if God is you and me,
and all the others?

What if God is everything
including me, and everything in me?

Be still and Know I Am God …

Listen

When there is no “I” who listens
there is no “I” who reacts
Then there is only: listening

What a precious enormous gift
to the other
to yourself …

Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart. Even if he says things that are full of wrong perceptions, full of bitterness, you are still capable of continuing to listen with compassion. Because you know that listening like that, you give that person a chance to suffer less. If you want to help him to correct his perception, you wait for another time. For now, you don’t interrupt. You don’t argue. If you do, he loses his chance. You just listen with compassion and help him to suffer less. One hour like that can bring transformation and healing.

Natural

It is natural to love, to speak the truth, to be honest, to be still, to be in connection, to be in nature.

It is natural to be willing to meet everything and face what is in front of you.

It is natural to know your true nature, to live in That and out of That what you really are.

Living something else than love, truth, integrity, honesty, silence, connection, nature, hurts.

I meet you where you are, carefully take you by the hand and lead you gently, almost without you noticing, to what lies waiting in you:
love
truth
integrity
honesty
connection
silence
your true nature

And then suddenly you find
that you, the Light in you,
guided you to You.

What an inexpressible blessing …

Learning

How can you not do
what you are doing
in this moment?

How could you not do
what you did
in the past?

How did you learn
of what you did
in the past?

How does what you did
in the past
shape your future?

We do what we do. We fall and stand up and will probably do it differently the next time. Falling down is not bad and getting up is not good. Falling is falling and getting up is getting up. Falling can only exist because of getting up. Getting up only exists because of falling down.

You can not do only the getting up because then falling down would not exist. The one is there and the other is there. That is called: duality. This is not good or bad and that is not good or bad. Both are polarities on the line that binds them together. When does falling down becomes getting up? And when does getting up becomes falling down?

Form and emptiness, love and fear, presence and absence: the one exists thanks to the other and the other exists thanks to the one. Duality is like a song; sung for the One. The One that has no opposite. In That everything exists. And That has no name …

Old and New

What a joy
that I did precisely
what I had to do
in the “Old Year”

What a joy
that you did precisely
what you had to do
in the “Old Year”

What peace
that I will do precisely
what I have to do
in the “New Year”.

What peace
that you will do precisely
what you have to do
in the “New Year”.

May joy and peace
be with you
always …
