A monk is having less of an ego

I am staying a few days at a monastery .
I am always very impressed by the appearance of the monks .
They seem to have so little ego *. They seem to have given up so many things of which we, laymen, are still concerned about, is this right?

They have chosen for God and they have given up much of the world.
They have already forsaken a lot.
A private home, a partner, a sex life, kids, a career , status, a position, power, material stuff.
They are not all yet free, but much freer than laymen.

They have forsaken much compared to laymen.
They are forsaking a lot.

So they have learned to say often no to the ego , to say no to his wishes and desires and fascinations. And they help each other to choose for God over and over.
It’s all about a clear perspective , a clear choice, a main purpose to which all the rest is ​​subordinate.
So basically the ego does not get much chance to grow and their personality has become more an instrument of God, of the whole.

AND I want to emphasize their prayers for the world and their care for retreat visitors are contributing to a great spiritual credit. They are saving for eternity. Every time they are opening all windows for God to come in. So their " My God" is getting plenty of opportunity to express Itself in the earthy reality.

Laymen must not  think: oh , this is not my peace of cake”. Because each person is following his own path, and every day is providing new opportunities to ask oneself:

Am I choosing for God or for His opponent , the monkey of God?
Am I choosing for the whole or for the separation?
Am I choosing for the good or for the evil?
So please be inspired by the example of the monks .

My blessings to you all

The death of a child

 

Would You like to comment on this issue?

It seems to be unnatural when a child passes away and parents have to commit their child to the earth.
Great sorrow and the big question: why?

However , it is quite natural .
A mother duck loses sometimes 11 of her 12 siblings. A couple of birds of prey are losing one of the two siblings to drought and food shortage, while they bring forth young ones once in the four years. A young zebra falls prey to a group of lionesses who at the same time have experienced a new dominant male having killed their young ones, because they are not his.

But this topic is not on grief and the why question? Not on chance and fate. Not on cause and effect. Not on the meaning of life and earthy suffering.
This topic is on life after death of a child dying young , let’s say Hans , a boy of 10 years old.

His parents and older sister are sitting next to his bed while he is succumbing to exhaustion by a terminal cancer in his blood . His mind has been shrunk into oneself, because the body could not contain and express any longer the vibrancy of the inner self. When his body dies and the parents and his sister are overcome by grief , his spiritual body is consciously put into sleep.
The body of Hans is taken away to a special sphere.
Spiritualists are going to lap up, but it is all truthfully .

This sphere is consisting of an immense defined area in the spiritual world , not even too far from the earth, where children until 16 years are brought up. You have four spheres: 0-2 years , 3-7 , 8-12 and finally from 13-16 years. The sphere of Hans is special for children aged 8-12 years.

The concept of this children's spheres is the same, and contains the following ingredients:

• Recovery Houses
• Group Homes
• Schools
• Sports facilities
• Many parks and nature areas with waterholes , streams , tall trees , flower fields and lawns
• Coaches.
       

All properties are decorated with warm colors and are light and atmospheric.
The children are living in groups of six children with two adult coaches. The coaches do not need to be a couple. Particularly quickly the newly arrived children are developing an intense friendship and love band with their new family. The children are in every possible way helped to overcome the sorrow and nostalgia concerning their earthy life.  

High demands are made on the coaches: not in terms of pedagogy and educational experience , because they are often personalities , who have not had children on earth. Are earthly parents not getting children without any experience ?
The coaches are not necessarily a man and a woman, that depends entirely on what the children have experienced on earth, their character , their needs and their life goals.
But .... what demands must the coaches obey in the children's sphere ?

• They must be teachable and open: they themselves have supervision when they meet questions and problems
• They have a well-developed emotional life
• They have to have an exceptionally big heart and to be very loving
• They themselves have experienced on earth grief and the death of beloved ones,  for the sake of great empathy
• And finally, they must have an exceptional big sense of humor.
  
   

Main goal is offering the children a protected , loving and painless life for the sake of overcoming completely the old grief and the causes of their early death.

Little Hans again.

Hans is staying a short time in a recovery house , where his guardian angel, his soul and his deceased grandmother (she has special temporary permission) take care of him and guide him to a physical (astral) and mental health.
Only when he is fully recovered , and this took place within two weeks , his grandmother and his guardian are accompanying him to his new family. Until he is fully accustomed, meetings are arranged between him and his great mother. This is a special construction, because she has no permission to dwell in the children's sphere.

Hans as ten year old boy is entering a group home with two coaches who were in their earthy life brother and sister . He is getting a room with a " brother" of 11 . The family is having six children again and is living the normal life of earthly parents, which consists of work and school periods , leisure and relaxation, sports and sleep .
Everything is done to make Hans grow up happily and carefreely until he is up to a life task at the age of sixteen years.

Here are no further details given on what is taught in schools , how the villages are composed , how children grow in other than earthy time standards , how Hans gets permission occasionally to " visit " his earthy family and how the new family composition in children's spheres can change when one moves from one sphere to another.

An early death of a child will be in the spiritual world in thousand ways coped and cured.
For God is love .

My blessings to you all

 

It looks like morning sickness

May I ask you something?

I experience regularly waking up in the morning , so between 4-6 hours , and really feeling quite horrible. Sometimes sad, sometimes I'm afraid , sometimes I am not looking forward at all facing the day, sometimes I feel lonely and wonder what life is all about.
I am not experiencing it always, but it can be quite vehement, all kinds of negative emotions are pouncing upon me , and sometimes I'm surprised at the vehemence .

And almost always the feelings disappear completely during the first hours of the day.
I wonder then : what was this all about? Why are they completely disappeared? Where are they coming from? Can You comment on this please? I assume more people do have this troubles?

Many people will recognize this. The more one gives feelings a proper attention in life, the stronger they will be experienced . People who suppress their feelings a lot , will not have this experience , but they probably will face a suddenly depression or a physical disease.
And then there is a group suffering no problems at all, because they are superficial, or because they do not have any problems (yet).

It's a simple cleansing, you are facing, and in this manner.
On the day you are experiencing all kind of stuff, and it is not possible to process this all emotionally during the day.
The reactions , the involved emotions , the processing of what happened, that all is done overnight. Everything is, by the human consciousness , and with help from the spiritual world, organized , relived , expressed in dreams , cleared away or cured.
And the depth of the emotions you are experiencing in the early morning are just the fine particles in the air after vacuuming , the leftover filth on the bottom of a washing-up bowl.

If that is cleared away, you're ready , you can go on cheerfully.

Vacuumed , having washed the dishes, having processed the day.
And then you can start with a next job , start a brand new day .
And the ego really loves to loose itself in that awful hour exaggerating the emotions and drawing conclusions . Stop it.
Just go on, and then everything will be cleared away. That’s that and Bob is your uncle.

 

My blessings to you all 

By their fruits ye shall know them

 

 Would You like to comment on this?

I want to make a distinction between a belief and a religious community / believers .

Concerning a belief: ah, a belief may be very true , very pure , very idealistic . Sometimes it got started with a mighty prophet , sometimes with a single sacred event , sometimes God has initiated this belief on earth, sometimes a holy man , but in all cases it is the past , it's over, it's just theory. I prefer to look with you at the practice .

Therefore we restrict ourselves to a religious community / believers .

That is an active practice on earth. There you can see people getting going, there are the results of the religious community visible. There outsiders can get an impression of the effect on the outside world . There you can ask the believers what their participation in this religious community has brought them.

So there we have to deal with objective effects .

There we can see the fruits of this religious community.
And therefore this is a handy guide :

“By their fruits ye shall know them”

Is one separating fellowmen, or bringing them together ?
Is one spreading lover or rather hate?
Is one giving man freedom or is one sowing anxiety?
Is one helping sick or sad fellowmen or is one making attempts?
Is one spreading tolerance or is one judging ?
Is one inspiring fellowmen or is one causing fear ?
Is one speaking about a world of beauty or about a world of ugliness?

Is one giving hope or is one discouraging fellowmen?
And above all is one speaking of a loving God or of a resentful God ?

In this manner one can discriminate if one is dealing with a good religious community / believers or with deluded ones.
In the first case , God is the source of inspiration .
In the second case, the devil, the monkey of God .
In the first case, man is progressing spiritually.
In the second case, man is getting in arrears.
So look at the deeds , not the words.

“By their fruits ye shall know them”

My blessings to you all

Count your blessings

“The things you take for granted, someone else is praying for”

Would You like to comment on this tweet?

Quiet so.
It should be a mantra , this tweet.
Man is inclined to look at what he hasn’t and his fellowman has.
In this way he is cherishing an attitude of dissatisfaction and frustration and victimization .And know the world of commerce and advertising and luxury really likes to cherish this attitude.
It's bad for mankind.
And the spiritual world feels compassion for this narrow and immature attitude .

Man can turn around his  perspective 180 °  and look at what he has and his fellowman hasn’t.
What will happen then ?
Then the world of desire will be stilled.
Then one arrives in the here and now .
Then one will experience a sense of blessing .
Then one will make contact with gratitude .
And do know the world of spirituality and religion should cherish this attitude. Then she would cherish among man inner peace and surrender.
That's better for mankind.
Then the spiritual world will welcome this wise attitude to life.

May the one who twittered this be blessed.

My blessings to you all

We pray , God does the rest

“If everything you're praying for came to you right now, you wouldn't be able to handle it. Trust in God's perfect timing”

Would You like to comment on this tweet?

Man can not have a proper understanding of how to pray .
Actually he is just playing around.
He does not know for what he is praying.
He does not know if  it could be asked.
He does not know what the effect is of his prayer.
He does not know how long to pray.
He does not know what the energetic consequences of his prayer are for the one he is praying.
He does not know the impact of his prayer on himself.
He does not know what time it stands for his prayer to be heard.

But….. the spiritual world is always happy with every prayer.
Each prayer is cherished.
To each prayer is listened.
Each prayer is heard as much as possible.
Each prayer has a powerful effect on the one who is praying.
Each prayer is an opening to the spiritual world.
To each prayer will be listened with attention and care.

From the perspective of the spiritual world is each prayer worth his weight in gold.
Each prayer is useful.
Each prayer has an effect , even if it is not heard.

“If everything you're praying for came to you right now, you wouldn't be able to handle it. Trust in God's perfect timing”

May you all be blessed for your praying .

My blessings to you all

The silence in the inner self

                                                         


Man is leading a life full of impressions , most impressions storm from the outer into the inner world. And the ego is creating then as many reactions from the inner world into the outer world. Just to survive and to secure itself. And this securing itself has become a new source of vulnerability and confusion

Man!
Give it all up.
Give thinking up.
Give feeling up.
Give desires up.
Give the body up.
Do what is necessary or what is good or what is fun.

But be guardian of your inner self.
Take distance from the troubled world of thought.
Let all feelings come and go again.
Let the desire life raging, it is less important than it appears to be.
Have a body, do not be a body.

How will man manage this ?

Create a special place in your inner self. And be taciturn on it. So the place will stay protected.
A lovely place, make it yourself, give it shape, exactly as you like it.
One chooses a spot on a mountain , the other nearby a fast flowing river, a third under a tree , a fourth in a gazebo surrounded by roses.
And know this place will actually be retained in the spirit and will appear to be retained after death. It will be your sanctuary .

 

Create your own place . And refine the place , give attention to it, cherish it as your place of peace and tranquility . And imagine a protection around this place where all the turmoil of life can not come through. It can be the silence of a mountain , or the power of a flowing river , or the grass around a tree or a hedge of roses around a gazebo . But with protection from all worries and problems and woes of life .
And if you're in your place and you will experience the turmoil of life , you breathe it out and outside protection . Because your place remains quiet and peaceful.
And breath quietness in again.
And do it as long as you feel the anxiety has been removed by you , by you alone.
And then stay at this place . And retreat to this place when life is plaguing you. When life is getting too heavy.

And the place will become a new force in your life , in your inner self.
And the place will then be connected by God with the spirit.
With the power of silence.
With the power of quietness.
With the power of being alone.
With the power of the spirit.
With the power of Being.
With the power of trust.

Practice , and you will experience.
Imagine and it will become reality .
Create and it will come into being.

Who else than you is capable of creating such a place? Didn’t God give you free will?
With this free will you are grasping the restlessness.
And with this free will you can release this restlessness.
And then God will be pictured.
And the soothing hands of your guardian angel will rest on your shoulders .
And the power of the spiritual world will be able to flow into you even more than before.
And finally if you have released all, you’ll have become this safe place for yourself.

My blessings to you all
