a shaman's conversation
I love that.
_I love that, too.
You don't exist.
_yeah, I do.
Well then, prove it.
_Isn't that what you are reading proof enough?
No it ain't-
_Well, tell me what to do!
Laugh out loud
_I can't!
Why?
_You know why!
So tell me again.
_I only exist in your head.
Well, so you are saying, I am schizophrenic. So all the doctors were correct with their diagnosis.
_Well, they are shamans, too.
_I love that, too.
You don't exist.
_yeah, I do.
Well then, prove it.

Before you win you have to loose
One always starts out with the question, what can I win? What is my target, what are my aims?
What do I WANT? Where do I want to go and Who do I want to be?
Now fine, yes, you need to know the answers to all these questions. However, before you find out the path and all its clues, you'll need to check out what you gonna loose. And if you do not check it out, it will sooner or later hit you anyway.
So what are you willing to pay? What are you willing to let go? What will you have to leave behind? Which pains can you endure? Is it all worth it are you asking? And your motivation is already gone?
Then better don't start the journey! I tell you why, you must love the process as much as you love your aims. As a matter of fact, you'll need to love the process even more than your aims. Otherwise you'll never get to your destination.
For instance, take traveling. Aren't you always on some sort of journey, going somewhere? You need to know, that you can take the ride, otherwise, even if you arrived at the beach. What use will all the sun and sand have if you are sick to death?
So go back and resit your thoughts. Are you ready to give up your Self? Yes, change that self, that likes to lean back and watch youtube? Are you ready to take off? Make sure you're ready for the ride.

The Story of the Tar Pit - Kyron at the UN
Kyron was actually channeled at the UN - crazy shit. Now I loved this parable of his, 1995:
"Dear ones, there is a small parable that has already been published and known to those who read the messages of Spirit within the Kryon Writings. It has never been given publicly, however, and we had asked that it remain private until now. For we knew of the potential of this meeting years ago, and now it is time to speak it. The parable is short, but it is filled with power. It is the "Story of the Tar Pit."
It seems that all humanity was hindered by tar to the degree that it was difficult to walk from one place to another. The tar would stick to the humans wherever they walked. But this was the way of the world, for all humans shared this attribute. Everywhere they walked, the tar would stick. It would cling to their clothing and make them dirty, and many times (depending upon how thick it was) it would actually stop them. Other times it would only slow them down, but this was the way of the things for all and was accepted.
One human discovered through his enlightenment, a gift from God. He gave intent to be different in the New Age and claimed this gift. When he did so, the tar receded from him. And so everywhere he walked, the tar moved away as he walked into it! It no longer stuck to him. His clothes were always clean and everywhere he went, he did so easily - gliding from place to place. There were no more stoppages and no more difficulties.
Now, he was not evangelistic about this gift, and he kept it to himself. He told himself that even though the gift was available to everyone, it was very personal. So he decided it was not appropriate to mention it to the others. Before long, however, those around him noticed that he was not in any way hampered by the tar. So it wasn't long before they asked him, "What has happened? How did this take place? You look so free - so peaceful! Your clothes are always clean, and you're able to move so quickly past us!"
So he willingly told them about his personal gift from God, and many of them also gave intent for it as well. Each person to whatever degree that they asked, received the gift, and soon many were walking around without the tar sticking to them. And so it was that over a period of time, there was a large group of enlightened humans who had changed themselves, yet it had started with only one - concerned only to improve himself. So we say to you, the one who changed himself also made a difference for many - even though there was no conscious effort on his part to do so."

Why do I have doubts and how to use them
It happens again. I feel I have to change. And I do everything for that change. I see the aim just in front of me. However, I can't do the next step. I want to run away.
My head is full of voices:
you can't do it. you will never have success. you are a loser anyway. Noone will read that blog of yours. it is just another blow. why are you taking all this efforts? this is embarrassing. you are embarrassing. what you produce is embarrassing.
And I wonder why do I have these doubts?
My life is miserable, because of them.
Again I would like accuse my parents or my teachers or anyone out there. It is their fault. But really, it is just my own responsibility. They might have given me these thoughts. However, it is me, who is making a victim out of myself. It is me, who then just gets encouraged and gives in. It is me who gives up this dream.
Instead of giving up. You can use them as advisors. These critical voices are actually your best friends.
They tell you constantly, why what is not good enough. Instead of taking it as an offense and letting it make you drop your project, you can take them as advice on how to improve your product.
I looked deeper. I am about to create blog about finding yourself. Online courses and ebooks.
And each time I want to buy the domain, my head just whispers: are you sure? And I can't click. It has been happening for so many hours now, that I decided to write about these doubts.
However, now taking it as a constructive critic. My response is. Okay lets see. Do I have a real plan in here? Did I actually think it through? Have I considered the exact, target group, the exact problem I want to solve for them, the exact solution and tools? Are these tools and solutions useful?
And you know what, I realized I do not need to have a yes on each of this questions. A yes for most of these questions is good enough.
I just clicked.

Why am I jealous?
Today I was working on my very old (new) idea, starting a blog, which actually is really cool. Where I can offer solutions and serve people and thus myself. So I can continue living the life I like and
I even paid a couple hundreds of Euros to get started and motivated by a bloguni and community. wow.
At some point of building your product, you always come across one thing: the competition. And I just got so damn jealous seeing a blog, a really successful blog of a woman, who is living the life I have been living for the last couple of years, but was smart enough to create a blog about it.
Now she is super famous, successful, ebook writer and my sister is telling me, hey dont you think she is cool? You can learn a lot from her! She is so successful! And in my mind its just, yeah, she is cool, she is living the life I was living, however being so smart making actually a living out of her lifestyle.
Only by telling other people how awesome her life is and giving some recommendations. And I realized, I was jealous, because that could have been me. However, it wasn't. I have had the same idea, at the same time, have had the same lifestyle for these years. But I just did not do it. She did it. I did not.
I have two choices now:
run away from that ugly feeling or understand/take action.
this time I decided, thank you Ms success. Yes, I am jealous. Thank you for making me feel this way. If I don't want to have that feeling any more. In order to have it "sustainably gone" - I need to do something about it. I finally have to stop scheming and dreaming, but actually start living.
Now, it is time to change. Again Thank you for making me jealous. It was another wake up call.

How to be happy in every moment
It is all about happiness - isn't it?
This is the point where meditation comes into play.
Why does meditation makes you happy? Because it actually trains the mind to be in equilibrium. And if one does Vipassana meditation. Then one is even working on changing the habit pattern of the mind.

Yet happiness comes and goes. The moments you are happy seem to be much less than the moments, you are tired, lonely, depressed, angry, confused, etc.
Now what is happiness?
Looking at my day:
I woke up and meditated. Was I happy? Maybe somehow.
I did some work. Earned some money. Was I happy? Maybe.
I went swimming, had some workout. Was I happy? Maybe.
For dinner I saw a good friend. We played and laughed. Was I happy? I guess so.
Everybody keeps on saying, happiness is NOT
- money/being rich
- a destination but a path
- a characteristic but a decision or a choice
Then some scientists claim that happiness is your good feelings and general satisfaction with life.
Now I believe the following: happiness is a habit !
That is nothing new or special. For example, people suggest to have daily rituals in order to increase the happy feelings. Or there are so called zen habits, like doing good things, helping others etc.
However, if you want to be really happy all the time, even without this rituals, then you have to start somewhere else. It is actually the mind we have to change.
To understand happiness, we have to understand unhappiness. When are we unhappy? Or the better question: why are we unhappy? Something something unwanted happened to us. And the mind reacted with bad feelings.
The crucial fact is the reaction of the mind.
On the other side of the coin, something wanted might happen. Then we react with happy feelings. And that is what we mistake for happiness. Actually, it is just another reaction of the mind.
Now it is getting clear, that real happiness is not just a good feeling. Real happiness is actually something beyond the "normal feelings of happiness". Real happiness is an absence of reaction. Real happiness is peace of mind, an absolute equilibrium. So if we changed the mind, in order to stop to react to input, then there would be real happiness for us. Then one could be happy in every moment of life.
