Als...

Als lichten lijken te doven,
laat branden de lamp van je hart.

Als laatste winterbloemen lijken te bevriezen,
laat bloeien de innerlijke levensbloem.

Als duisterdraken van vernietiging, over gepijnigde aarde vliegen,
koester stil de duif van vrede. In handen reikend naar het licht.
Als vergetelheid op de troon van onwetendheid zetelt,
laat wijsheid gekleed gaan in wit gewaad van onschuld.
Als vergroving, hardheid, ruwheid en platheid
door straten van eenzaamheid marcheren,
strooi duizend bloemen van tederheid,
in de koude processie van de dood.
O nacht vol licht die stil vergaat,
dwars door duister straalt uw luisterrijk gelaat,
O jaarwisseling zonder geketende tijd,
schitterend uw schacht van eeuwigheid nu en altijd.

* Gedicht van Marcel Messing.*

Take a day to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.
Maya Angelou

If you don’t love yourself, you’ll always be chasing after people who don’t love you either…"
Mandy Hale

Avoid the friendship of those who constantly inquire and discuss the flaws of others.
Arabic Proverb

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.
Caroline Myss

Highly sensitive people are often afraid to speak up, until life pushes them to do so. Once you have a major success with assertiveness, you learn that it’s a much healthier path than being a doormat to the insensitive folks. You gain respect for yourself, have more time for your priorities, and develop authentic and healthier relationships.
Doreen Virtue

Enlightenment can be measured by how compassionately and wisely you interact with others—with all others, not just those who support you in the way that you want. How you interact with those who do not support you shows how enlightened you really are.
Adyashanti

If someone comes along and shoots an arrow into your heart, it’s fruitless to stand there and yell at the person. It would be much better to turn your attention to the fact that there’s an arrow in your heart…
Pema Chödrön

If you love yourself, you love others. If you hate yourself, you hate others. Because in relationship with others the other is nothing but a mirror.
Osho

We like to be out in nature so much because it has no opinion about us.
Friedrich Nietzsch

The moment of awakening may be marked by an outbursts of laughter, but this is not the laughter of someone who has won the lottery or some kind of victory. It is the laughter of one who, after searching for something for a long time, suddenly finds it in the pocket of his coat.
Thich Nhat Hanh,
Zen Keys: A Guide to Zen Practice

I asked the Zebra,
are you black with white stripes?
Or white with black stripes?
And the zebra asked me,
Are you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?
Are you noisy with quiet times?
Or are you quiet with noisy times?
Are you happy with some sad days?
Or are you sad with some happy days?
Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?
And on and on and on and on and on and on he went.
I’ll never ask a zebra about stripes…again.
Shel Silverstein

It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit.
Eartha Kitt

“The wave said to the sea:
“Could I be like you?”
The sea replied:
“It’s easy… just settle down.””
Ramana Maharshi

"The most important thing in no longer caring what anyone thinks is understanding that they don’t know what they really think if they’re not in tune with who they really are."
Abraham Hicks

“Recently, one friend asked me, “How can I force myself to smile when I am filled with sorrow? It isn’t natural.” I told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. A human being is like a television set with millions of channels. If we turn the Buddha on, we are the Buddha. If we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. If we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. We can not let just one channel dominate us. We have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Don’t let yourself be controlled by these three things:
Your past, people and money.
unknown

When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.
Japanese Proverb

Bewust zijn en ontwaken ♥

“We already have everything we need. There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips that we lay on ourselves—the heavy-duty fearing that we’re bad and hoping that we’re good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy and the addictions of all kinds—never touch our basic wealth. They are like clouds that temporarily block the sun. But all the time our warmth and brilliance are right here. This is who we really are. We are one blink of an eye away from being fully awake.”

Pema Chödrön

“Intuition manifests in the calm consciousness as feeling, perceived mostly through the heart. When such feeling comes, you receive through it a definite sense of right direction and unshakable conviction.”

Paramahansa Yogananda

"To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable."

John Milton

"We as a culture are forgetting that we are actually natural organisms and that we have this very, very deep connection and contact with nature. You can’t divorce civilization from nature - we totally depend on it."

James Balog

“For a day, just for one day, talk about that which disturbs no one and bring some peace into your beautiful eyes.”

Hafiz

"Some souls are not meant to see, and experience the qualities you possess through their conscious valve, but it’s always important to see them within yourself."

Awakened Vibrations

If you guide through anything other than your own example, it crosses over into the category of control. If you say, “This is what I’ve found that works for me, try it if you like.” That’s guidance. If you say, “This is what I’ve found works for me, and if you don’t follow it, you’re in trouble,” that’s control.

Abraham

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

Henry Miller

“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

Let it go ♥

Let It Go ~ Whatever someone has done to you is going to be attracted right back to them at some point.

You are not involved in this process, its simple law of attraction.

Stop carrying it around and let the universe take care of it - good, bad or indifferent. Their stuff, Their lesson. Let it Go.

In the moment between past and future, just look at who you are. No effort, no thought. Just keep quiet. In this quietness you will experience for the the first time a peace, love, beauty that you have never felt.
Papaji

“When we send Love in response to hate, we become spiritual alchemists.”
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer ♥

She transforms her own dark into her own light. She sees her private shadows - and loves them. She meets her emotional depths - and owns it. She faces private fears of separation - and rises above the illusion. She is the source of her Self and she is always in a state of greater becoming.”
Molly McCord, The Modern Heroine’s Journey of Consciousness.

We see today that here we are overconsuming and violating the earth at a pace that is really destroying our expanded body. That is gasping. It is coming from a less developed part of our brain.
Tara Brach

Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest. Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home.
Tibetan Book of the Dead

“The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.”
Paulo Coelho

"What a lonely way to exist, when you’re only choosing to trust in yourself, and afraid to love. You’re stopping the natural flow of the universe that is within you, which can cause interference with attaining true happiness."
Awakened Vibrations

If you try to locate the mind, the mind vanishes and the Self alone remains.
Ramana Maharshi

How do you think you could find positive things in negativeness?

Breathing deeply to become present, calm and grounded, gaining clarity, stepping back observing......
Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.
Paramahansa Yogananda

“Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.”
Khalil Gibran

“The hurt you embrace becomes joy. Call it to your arms.
Rumi

You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day.
Elizabeth Gilbert

"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

Carlos Castaneda

There is only one decision you need to make: you are either working at your Freedom or you are accepting your bondage.

Simple but profound to do:
When the terror of life grips you, return to Mother Nature. Sit by the tallest tree, and release some sorrow into the Earth.

Fast Facts About Stones and Crystals: The Crystal Movie ♥

Alles is eigenlijk gratis! ♥

T'is een illusie dat we denken  dat we moeten betalen... We denken dat het niet gratis is en normaal is om te betalen. Maar alles is eigenlijk gratis. Het is een illusie in ons denken.

Bij het begin van de schepping was alles onbetaald en gratis. Natuur is gratis. Alles is gratis. Zo is het normaal. Maar de mens heeft de natuurlijke gratis-heid verpest door geld en macht.

Enkel de mens heeft geld ontworpen. De mens is de schuld dat er arme mensen zijn. Die eindeloze betalingen, die onverdeeldheid... Racisme... Arm - rijk. Statussen. Ik ben meer dan gij of ik ben de man. Zitten te zwieren met hun bezittingen voor te zeggen kijk wat ik heb, dat heb jij niet he... Hier heb ik voor gewerkt, dus dat brood dat krijg je niet van mij, ga zelf werken. 

Aaaaaw, dit is zo mis. Er is genoeg op deze wereld, daar heeft de schepping voor gezorgd. Maar de hebzucht van de mensheid is te groot. Zij zijn geobsedeerd door geld. Misschien zijn mensen verslaafd aan geld. Zijn we geld ziek?

Geld bestond nog niet bij de schepping. Dus in principe houden we ons allemaal voor de gek en is alles dus van iedereen en ook gratis. Elk stukje grond en elke zee, elk stukje natuur is van ons samen.
 
We leven onder 1 dak en dat is de wereld, wij leven in de zelfde lucht en aarde, wij wonen hier samen, dus moeten we ook maar samen werken. Want we zijn allemaal één! ♥

Delen is belangrijk, ook al zijn vele het vergeten omdat ze zelf in over luxe zitten en het niet meer begrijpen.

Gelukkig is liefde en geluk nog steeds gratis. Misschien omdat het ook onzichtbaar is en vooral gevoeld word met het hart. Tegen die wet van de natuur kunnen ze niks beginnen, dat is te krachtig.

Grounding techniques.

Eén waterdruppel & Zeven waarheden...

Dat de waarheid afhankelijk is vanuit welk perspectief je iets bekijkt, komt heel mooi naar voren in onderstaande tekst...

Een Oosterse, wijze leermeester ging eens met zeven leerlingen een ochtendwandeling maken, terwijl de dauw nog over het land lag. Na enige tijd brak de zon door en de dauwdruppels schitterden dat het een lieve lust was!

Bij een grote dauwdruppel liet de oude meester halt houden. Hij schaarde zijn leerlingen zodanig rondom de druppel dat de zon erop bleef schijnen en vroeg hen welke kleur de druppel had.

"Rood," zei de eerste.
"Oranje," zei de tweede.
"Geel," zei de derde.
"Groen," zei de vierde.
"Blauw," zei de vijfde.
"Paars," zei de zesde.
"Violet," zei de zevende.....

Ze stonden verbaasd over de verschillen en omdat ze allemaal zeker waren van de kleur die de druppel had, ontstond er bijna ruzie. Toen liet de oude meester hen enige keren van plaats wisselen. En heel langzaam drong het tot hen door dat, ondanks de verschillen in hun waarneming, ze toch allemaal de waarheid hadden gesproken.

Nadat er zo enige tijd verstreken was, liet de oude meester hen weer hun oorspronkelijke plek innemen. Maar omdat intussen de zon gedraaid was, kaatsten er weer heel andere kleuren terug vanaf de grote dauwdruppel. En de meester sprak:

"Hoe u de waarheid ziet, hangt af van de plaats en de tijd die u in het leven inneemt, zoals u daarnet een deel van het licht hebt gezien en dat voor de waarheid aanzag...

Laat uw medemensen in volle vrijheid hun eigen weg bewandelen, hun eigen plaats innemen en hun eigen deel van het licht waarnemen. U heeft allemaal waarheden nodig, want alle tezamen vormen zij het werkelijke spectrum als geheel; de volle waarheid...

Tot u zelf een van de groten bent geworden en de zeven kleuren als één kunt waarnemen, zal ieder afhankelijk van zijn situatie een ander standpunt innemen en de waarheid op een andere manier zien...

Wees daarom niet alleen tolerant, want dat is slechts het duiden van andermans mening, maar wees zelfs blij dat er andere meningen zijn. Zolang u zelf nog niet het volle licht kunt zien, heeft u uw medemens als medeleerling nodig om de volle waarheid te leren kennen."
