Like the water needs its well
the soul needs her body to realise herself
True nature
More and more I start to understand what my inner teacher meant when he incited me to be a rebel, years ago. It is not necessary to sit on the fence. It is not necessary to worry about government rules, which seem by definition unfriendly in popular speech. It is not even necessary to demonstrate for world peace anymore. I am only on this earth to uncover and to live my true nature.
A rebel
Be a rebel. Knock down all taboos inside of you. Do not play the game of the collective any longer. Be in the world, but not of the world. Do not let yourself be guided by fear. Fear, which is not you, but inserted in you the moment you were born. Fear of being not good enough if you do not play your part in the game. Fear of lack if you do not fit into the undefined laws, which by now are determining our group code. Fear of being an outcast if you do not walk with the crowd and have assured yourself of a good salary and an index-linked pension. Don’t misunderstand me; there is nothing wrong with a good job. On the contrary, we are in the world to share our unique gift in the work we do. Labour is the way par excellence to express the essence of our being. Payment, in any way, is a logical result. Money however does not create our happiness. Happiness is what we experience in walking the path, in the essence of the work itself.
Chaos
Be a rebel. Free yourself from fears, which prevent you being love. Which prevent you living and experiencing your true nature. Dare to differentiate yourself from the masses by refusing to join the endless drivel about things that are not essential: the amount of National Health contribution, the -yes or no- anti contraceptive pill in the National Health-package. Go ahead, fill in the rest of the line…
The outer fight against the evil without dealing with the root cause more chaos in and around us. Chaos, which becomes more and more visible. Everything hidden and dark seems to come to the fore. Old structures are falling apart. Do not get discouraged or tricked, it is only part of the game. The game of illusions, the shade-working from mind in the substance. A game we once have chosen to play here on earth, and which finally will lead us to awakening.
Enlightment
We feel more or less attached to the substance and we like to preach the message of love and light. At the same time, we blame our brothers and sisters because they are not showing their anger. Or are we patiently waiting for heaven to come, for the next energy-input, which is going to manifest itself soon, so that it finally can happen? What happen? Well, we are getting closer to enlightenment, right?
Open mind
Nonsense! That enlightenment is already there. In the here and now – in this one moment – there is no second one. You do not even have to strive for it. On the contrary, it will only lead you further away from the truth. Masculine and feminine are of equal importance. Denial of one pool makes the other inaccessible. ‘I am only light’, a man reacts in full conviction. I reply: ‘Congratulations, I am not that far’. In this manifestation, I am light and dark. Because I know by now that the dark is not my essence, I am no longer afraid of it. I step into my fears with an open mind and a lot of humour. I do not try to deny it any longer, not to project it on my neighbour or who-ever. I try to look at it in myself. Not to judge but to see the quality that is at the base; pure spirit. In the kernel of anger lies the seed of the un-conditional love, which I Am.
Therapists
They allowed me to be at a therapy-session. Expertly and honourably, the therapist is discovering all in-completeness in the client. Matter to work with; it keeps us therapists off the street! Suddenly I realize that the therapist in me has quit existing. I do no longer feel the need to rescue or correct. I have taken more the role of the present one. When I look at people now, I do not see their shortcomings. I see their potential, their beauty. Okay, sometimes nicely covered with a variety of human or even un-human acquired behaviour, but anyway, when I dare to see the inner beauty of people and I appeal to their possibilities, they feel themselves being seen and loved and begin to remember who they are. Their essence will grow stronger. The illusionary outside starts to disappear and the shining inside remains. We radiate increasingly more of our true being. This happens when the person is ready for it. Not before, not afterwards. I am just the sower. The time to awaken is the choice of the soul and everything I do in it is part of the game. The I Am inside of me is only the do-er.
We, in the west, have time for endless therapy. It is one of the many addictions we cherish. It is not good or bad. It is all part of the game
Being yourself
Dare to be a rebel. Dare to say that you do not like to talk about silly things, which spoil the energy. You feel more alienated, and the collective fear will amplify. Okay, it is scary that first time, but every time it gets easier and your energy will strengthen itself. Moreover, your choice will open that pathway for others.
We shall not grow when we keep confirming each other of old behaviour. We are not in this world to be stuck cosily in relationships. We step into relationships to grow from each other and to bring out the highest in ourselves and each other. Stop trying to be nice. It is absolute un-natural, and it constrains. Just dare to be yourself. Dare to be honest and authentic with your sunny and your less sunny sides.
There are so many groups, which see it as their vocation to send love into the world. At the very first conflict, they fall apart. Yes of course, we all stay human! As we aim for conflict-less situations, we are manifesting more conflicts in and around us.
There is no good and no bad. Those are labels, which we like to stick on situations to control them. Everything we like to control becomes finally uncontrollable
Fear
We have fed our collective consciousness with so many unreal fears, that we have imprisoned ourselves in a kind of a vicious circle. Depending on our sensitivity, our choices are more or less influenced by fear. However realistic it may feel when you experience it, fear is always imaginary and has on its own no right of existence. Fear is a projection of our thinking, based on memories from the past and fantasies of what could happen in the future. Fear is a result of our sense of separateness and is always connected with time. When we have to face death, when we find ourselves in a crisis, there is no time for fear and we act immediately without thinking: here and now.
At the base of every fear lays unaware the fear of death. However, death is an unknown phenomenon; in essence, we cannot be afraid of it. The true enemy is our imagination I, our ego, which we associate ourselves with. We are so fearful to let go of everything and everybody we are dependent on, that we literally are dying out of fear.
The only way to transform our fears is no longer to evade them, but to look them straight in the eyes and to penetrate the repressed pain. At that moment, the armour, so carefully built around our heart, breaks into pieces. We step through the gate, get in contact with our immortal source of love and enter the infinite area beyond time and space. No longer, there is space for any fear. We embrace All That Is without fantasizing about what should be…
Surrender
How is it possible that people, living in much more primitive circumstances, still like to share from a feeling of abundance? I think I know the answer by now. As long as we feel separated from the source, we will persecute our needs and everything we collect will fall into a bottomless well.
Life has everything to do with belief and faith, and above all with surrender. We discover that you and I are one and that we are all part of the same source. From an inner conviction that our being has no limitations, we reunite with that source of unity and we can draw the water abundantly from the well itself. Life has everything to do with dignity.
I am worthy to receive that which I already am. I am worthy to radiate the love I truly am and I will manifest this love into every cell of my physical and other bodies. It is not necessary to do more than that. The effect to my environment will be endless
Lord and master
Situations are coming and going. We cannot do much to change that. We can however deal with it in a different way.
A Surinamese boy, living in the Netherlands, has no arms. He does not want to be dependent. His feet took over the function of his hands. He cooks, cleans and has a full-time job as a computer expert. He is a shining example in his environment. Another one in the same circumstance is constantly worried as to why for heaven’s sake this has to happen to him.
Two people are sitting in the same train. The train gets a breakdown and it seems to take hours before the disorder is arranged. The one person is constantly moaning about the bad services from the railway. The other uses his time to be in the moment and to strengthen his source of love.
In both situations, the circumstances are not that important. The point is how we use the circumstances. Do we feel like a victim and run away when there is a conflict, or are we lord and master, and use every conflict to become more love.
Our own sound
Love is ‘All That Is’. There is nothing but love. You are love and I am love. Together we are the visible expression of the divine flow, which is constantly creating and expressing itself in different forms. Together we write books, we make sculptures, we compose the nicest music and sing the highest song.
Let us not use that form for our own purpose. Dare to be flexible. Dare to let go the form the moment it has done its duty. May our message of love by means of our books, our sculptures, our paintings, our helpfulness and our music flow into the world, so others can feed themselves as it has fed us. Let us do this without any attachment. After all, it really is neither your gift nor mine. It is the gift from the father and the mother, the gift from all of us.
Waking up. We do it at all the right time. The creation and the creator are one. I do not have to change that creation – I just have to sing my own sound in that creation so we can all together sing the highest hymn
Nothing lasts in the world of the ten thousand things. Everything once has taken shape will eventually dissolve again into the great emptiness that contains the total fullness. Change is the only constant. This too shall pass. Every ending is a new beginning. The road we walk is eternal and not subject to physical death.
Our earthly reality, the material world, exists by the power of opposites. We are born, we give ourselves an identity and we feel different from others. We think in terms of good and evil. We forget that we are essentially one and the same.
Frederick Franck discovered the empty space and named the difference between looking and seeing. Looking is part of the earthly reality. We see images but are not connected with our heart, or with the great emptiness from which everything arises. We watch the news. Watch the disasters, the murders, the traffic victims. We send a donation to ease our conscience and move on to our everyday reality.
The moment our hearts open, we transcend three-dimensional reality. We feel more and more connected to everything and everyone. Nature comes alive. We are a drop in the ocean and at the same time the whole ocean. We experience everything we see as part of ourselves. We feel pain and joy and full of wonder we see all nature, around and in us, come to life. When we look someone in the eye, all differences dissolve. We are becoming more and more aware of the great emptiness from which all forms emerge. Our existence is no longer rigid and static. Life becomes magical and everything becomes a dance of energy.
Heaven and Hell
The moment we begin to see creation as it really is, we begin to understand that life is a miracle. There is nothing outside of ourselves. My visible reality is a projection of my inner world. That explains why some people experience heaven on earth and others feel that they have reached the bottom of hell. We descend into the dark dungeons of our souls. Slowly but surely we start to wake up and realize that we are fully responsible for all our creations. Although we can’t always change the situation, we can choose to see it differently. We make peace with ourselves and our creations.
Sometimes I am shocked by the reactions of awake people on Facebook. Being awake doesn’t mean you haven’t been vaccinated or tested. Being awake means knowing that everything in creation is geared to support us to show the way home, even if we don’t understand the scenario. That we never, ever feel better than anyone else and certainly don’t point at or ridicule others. We feel compassion because we know all too well that we once stood there ourselves.
Awareness
Being awake is a matter of awareness. That process takes place in the great void or at soul level. At that moment we know with a deep inner knowing that creation is divine perfection. We understand that life on Earth is a learning experience. A place where everyone can follow their own blueprint. That life knows mountains and valleys and can be quite intense. But behind this visible reality there is another reality. We understand that we may support others but we cannot save anyone else but ourselves, because everyone will wake up at the right time.
Initiation
Now is the right time to perfect ourselves and find our way home. Life itself is the true way of initiation. Through highs and lows, man is polished in order to find himself again. That’s when you realize that everything you’ve ever believed to be the truth is one big lie. You no longer see the world through rose-colored glasses, but with a clear view. Like you did when you came into the world. You were perfect and untouched by the earthly reality. Because of your upbringing, society and so on, slowly but surely your purity faded into the background. A process that is inevitable. You must first lose yourself completely in order to find your Self again. Then you are back at the point where you were born. However there is a difference. Now you know that you are awake. You don’t feel the need to join groups of awaked people. Groups give a false semblance of security, but maintain polarization. Therefore, the awake person is not affiliated with any particular group. He or she is part of everything and everyone.
Vaccinated
She is the only one of ninety-eight lab technicians who has not been vaccinated. Although she loves her job, she has closed her heart to survive. How understandable. When I observe her, I realize that because of this she no longer feels that a change has taken place in her colleagues. I challenge her to open her heart a little. By doing this she will give her colleagues the opportunity to share their current situation with her. After all, she is there for a reason.
Coming home
She who had such a big mouth that she didn’t get vaccinated did it anyway. The fear of losing her loved ones was stronger than the fear of death. I listened to her story and felt genuine compassion. Seeing her so many months later, I feel deeply moved. Geez she is beautiful. She came home. Truly she has become herself through that one decision. Fear became trust. Her ADHD and all psychological features are gone. Husband and daughter can do what they want. She doesn’t need it anymore. She is awake and feels compassion.
As long as we still need to divide the world into awakened and sleeping people, there is inner work to be done.
We are all on our way. And the road is one of trial and error. It is an art of living not to be afraid of fall down but to get up again and again. Like children do. The more we fall, the more we perfect ourselves. And slowly but surely the pearl within is polished and the light of our soul begins to shine through our eyes into the world. And people recognize your soul. You don’t have to shout it from the rooftops. You don’t have to convince them that you are right. They feel you know. They become curious and start asking questions. And that’s the right time to share your wisdom.
The time is now
In this time when we can no longer rely on so-called certainties, we are given the opportunity to reach our full potential. Don’t get carried away by all the doomsday scenarios, but go into nature and discover the empty space, the great silence, which animates everything. Feel your fear to the core. Let go of what no longer serves you. Create your own reality. Live the world you would like to see outside of yourself. Everyone plays their own part in the drama we call life and it is not up to you or me to judge that. All you need to know is where you stand for. The outside world, people, mother nature can mirror that to you. They show you flawlessly who you are. To be a living example, all we have to do is polishing ourselves to the core. And it should be clear that I’m not talking about our outside here.
Change is the only constant. This too shall pass. Every ending is a new beginning. The road we walk is eternal and not subject to physical death.
Om Shanti,
Yasmin
My book Inner-Reset
Inner Reset is an eye opener for anyone who wants to get to know themselves in depth. If you want to order the English E-book version, klick this link.
If you really want to get to know God, you must be willing to sacrifice all your self-created images and ideas about God into the fire of Love.
Let’s put God out the door for he is the source of all misery, was one of my articles I wrote and published several years ago. And yes, we’ve kicked God out. We turned our backs on God and sat down in his seat ourselves. We’ve taken matters into our own hands. And see the result. We were raised with a stern punishing God. A God you should be afraid of. After all, he saw everything you did. As a Catholic you had to go to confession, and even though you couldn’t think what you had done wrong, you made up something on the spot to stop feeling guilty.
I remember I was sitting in church, where I never really felt at home, and raised my hand to my heart to say the words: ‘By my fault, by my great fault…‘ It was as if lightning had smashed. I woke up instantly and knew this has nothing to do with God.
I too threw God out and went to India in search of myself and a guru. Although many teachers came my way, I never found that one guru, but I did find myself. Ironic but true: after 7 months in India and Nepal I came back with God in my heart. No longer was I looking for the source of Love, the source I call God, outside of myself. Once home, I was torn with homesickness and took a regression. I immediately saw myself at the Cauvery River in Tamil Nadu with Father Bede Griffith and realized that he had been an important teacher. Its simplicity became the inspiration for my being. This one-time regression gave me something else. I saw myself in hundreds of different lifetimes. Fake or no fake, it gave me insight that I am no better and therefore no worse than anyone else. From that moment I look at the world differently, at myself and the other, who is no longer another.
When I say we have to put God out of the door, I am of course talking about images and ideas that we have created. They have nothing, really nothing to do with God. Many still refuse to use the name God because it is said to be so tainted. For me personally that is no longer the case, so I use the name God or Love.
In our three dimensional illusionary reality, where the world of duality entered in order to make the invisible creation visible, we simply have to give names to all created things and forms in order to indicate them. Unfortunately, we have started to see one as good and the other as bad. We do not understand that the one in this visible manifestation cannot exist without the other. That the core of every manifestation is that same Love, that same Light from which everything arises and returns to. To get to know ourselves, to learn to see ourselves, we need polarity. Churches have saddled us with enormous guilt. They portrayed mankind as sinful beings, who could only find redemption through penance and suffering as much as possible in order to eventually earn heaven in all humility. No wonder the churches are emptying. That just has to happen. That doesn’t mean you have to lump everything and everyone together. You do that exclusively from your dualistic reality. When you have outgrown it, you can see Love in everything.
Wake up call
Then you know that even what is happening now comes from that same Love and is nothing more or nothing less than a wake-up call to wake us up. In that sense it is also a blessing what is happening right now. It is an intense and painful process and difficult to handle for a Westerner who has fooling oneself that life can be makeable and that pain and suffering are not necessary. But without pain, without suffering there is no awakening, there is no joy. Though we create suffering itself through our attachment to pain, our attachment to suffering. That has to do with our attachment to our material reality that we want to maintain at all costs. But believe me the way to that Deity that you are in essence and that you can experience and feel in your meditations and support with the sound of I Am or AUM, means nothing more and nothing less than to let go of all your attachments to that which you think you possess, to let go of what you think you are. I let go, I let God. I don’t bother with that anymore. And YES that goes a long way. That means your partner is not your property. That means you can only speak of Love if you do not want to possess somebody. That your children are not your children, as Kahlil Gibran so beautifully puts it. You may take care of them for a while and then you have to give them back to themselves. Like a bird throws its young out of the nest when they can fly on their own, so we should put our children out of the door when they can stand on their own two feet. That is love. You have given them a foundation and fully trust that they will find their way in this life by trial and error. You can no longer protect them. You cannot prevent them from facing the necessary challenges. Even stronger, we grow from that. Mama’s children are forever wimps and never become independent and authentic fellow players in this game and certainly will not leave the herd to fulfill their divine purpose or become an authentic human being. God is love. Love with capital letters. God is not an ogre on a cloud who punishes us for sneaking out of the sugar bowl. No, we humans have made that image of him. God is simply the manifestation of Nothing and Everything, of unconditional Love. Absolutely beyond our imagination. That Love was already there before creation came into existence and will still be there when creation has disappeared into nothingness. Because ultimately that is what is happening all the time and in all probability that is what is happening now. Our creation, our creation of reality, all that we take as true is slowly but surely crumbling and returning to the Source to Nothingness, the ALL.
It is hard for us to comprehend that everything that happens comes from that same love. That we are all players and opponents in the same world of illusions that looks so deceptively real from the world of the five senses.
But you didn’t have that doubt when you were a baby and still lived in eternity. Not even when you were a child and didn’t know the difference between right and wrong. You could get angry and beat that other person up, but five minutes later you were back in your authentic being and you were close friends. The concept of enemy and friend was foreign to you. You followed the natural flow of your being and didn’t put any labels on it. However, you soon learned that there is such a thing as good and evil. That you had to earn love and that there were people you could trust and others you couldn’t. Around the age of seven you had lost your innate innocence and fitted neatly into the matrix of life here on earth. And you knew almost intuitively how to behave to be a loved and accepted child. And so you put your naturalness out the door and you forgot your true self. But do not be sad. This is all part of the game. The seeker arose. You went in search of that which was always inside of you. The Fountain of Love. Everything we can discover about God has nothing to do with the outside. For that we have to close our senses and go the way inside. And to find God it is not only important that you give up all images and ideas about Him. More important than that is that you first discover who you are not. And believe me: everything that is visible, everything that has form, everything that is subject to change, that is not you. Oops. What are you then? Nothing. Nothing. Well, that is not acceptable for the ego that wants nothing more than to be something and constantly wants to elevate itself above others. And the ego is not so easily silenced. The ego will do anything to keep you from being yourself. After all, it is the death of the ego or your illusionary self. Then you are Love and Freedom and you live your own Truth. No longer you represent anything in this society. Now I can tell you that this is not important either, but that is of no use to you. And all of society is cooperating to keep you in that matrix. In the role of victim. Keep feeding your pain body, because then you are a willing tool. Not in the hands of God but in society. Then they can do everything with you for which you have given them permission or not. Moreover, as a victim you get all the attention. We feed that with gusto. Therapies are being ripped out of the closet, backpacks invented just to make you feel you’re not good enough. That you need others to be a valued member of this society. And that is only possible if you follow the masses or the herd and you neatly frame yourself in this reality. Now you may understand that God paid more attention to the prodigal son and the runaway sheep. Both manifestations of the rebel. The one who breaks away from the established order because he seeks truth. And that road is not for the faint of heart, that road is damn lonely at times. No wonder that most of us choose the path of least resistance and play for safety. Deep down we feel that call. But that one, or should I say that one that fell, can always be tucked away well. Just make sure you never have time to think about the meaning of life. Fill your agenda. Avoid the silence and fill all your desires immediately.
Plandemic
But then something suddenly happens that you had not planned. Your partner runs away, you get a serious illness. Your child is born with a disability or worse, you are told that a terrible plandemic has broken out. And that it really comes down to following the leaders of the people unconditionally. That we must all go to war to defeat this monster. Not for yourself, by the way, but for all those others who would otherwise endanger you. All this makes you follow all the precepts to the absurd without any visible protest, even if deep down you sometimes have your doubts. That you let your freedom be silenced and that you willingly hand over your body to the state. And you believe all this. Because the experts, the doctor, the pharmaceutical industry, the world leaders and even the mainstream media are not saying anything but this. And those are the scientists, the experts. They apparently know you, your dreams and feelings and your body better than you do.
And as annoying as it may be, the time has passed when we can blame God. Because we have already thrown them out the door.
Om Shanti – May we live in Peace Sardinia, 4th of December 2021
I am the hole in the flute through which the breath of Christ is moving. Listen to this music…
– Hafiz – Sufi
During a 21-day period of silence, in which my only food was my garden, the birds and the unseen world, my physical vehicle failed on many fronts. While the body had a really hard time, I dwelt in peace in the boundless space of my heart. Primal trust, surrender and the process of alchemy pushed the boundaries between death and life. Literally and figuratively, I am getting lighter…
From my diary*
‘…We are pure consciousness. Boundless, divine space. Silence. We are Nothing. We are God. By denying who we are, what we are, we create human-unworthy situations. It is divine intervention to intervene in visible reality. As painful as it is to see what we do to ourselves, how we deny and destroy ourselves, behind that outer destruction Awareness is still at work. Even though it may seem far away, this is the perfect time to realize who we really are. Now is the time to wake up and to stop giving our responsibility out of hands to anyone, to anything. To God, to politics, to the pharmaceutical industry, to our leaders…’.
‘…We are, I am, the divine power that animates everything. The moment I take full responsibility for that and don’t wait for it to reveal itself, I create pure divine vibrations in my inner world and let them flow out into the outer world so that others have the possibility to pick them up and awaken…’.
‘…We are not meant to deny what is. We are meant to no longer connect with that which is. By denying we create that what is. By being awake, seeing what is and no longer connecting ourselves to it, we give what has been created the opportunity to fall apart. Everything that arises perishes. Everything that is created is eventually doomed. Every material form disintegrates. What remains is pure Consciousness. And that is what I am. That is what you are. That is what we are…’.Paradise
The world would instantly become the paradise the Creator intended it to be, if people realized right now who they really are. No one, absolutely no one, will be able to support the lie that reigns, once all the lies in our inner world have been resolved.
Truth
By transforming my inner world, I create my own reality and transform the world outside me. The step to freedom is an inner step. The only weapon on my path is Love. By breaking down myself, all my belief systems and attachments to the bone, I am closer to the truth than ever. Life is a mystery. I still exist in this physical manifestation to be a Beacon of Light for others during this transforming times.
Demonstrate
In this state of being there is no need to demonstrate. Have the guts to look honestly in your own mirror. Embrace what you essentially are and dare to stand for it, without analyzing or judging. When we realize that time and space essentially do not exist, we can be everywhere without a physical presence and nonviolently support what we wish to support. In silent connection with All That Is.
Everything that could be said about the current situation has already been said. Everyone creates their own reality. Everyone is waking up at the right time. I cannot add anything to that or change this.
Unity in diversity
Living in Oneness means that our little self is no longer central. Living in Oneness means pushing boundaries and opening ourselves to renewal. Living in Oneness means not denying the dark, but not accusing anyone. Because no one is to blame. It is ignorance, no more, no less. Living in Oneness means being in connection with everything and everyone. When we feel fully responsible for who we are, for who I am, I am a signpost for others without seemingly to do anything.
Art of living
In times of deep darkness, there are many unseen forces in the universe who are willing to support our transformation. You can experience them in the quiet space of your heart. This is the perfect time to wake up This is the time to choose momentary happiness, or to realize that the visible reality is no more and no less than an illusion. It is true art of living to die before you die. Sacrifice the ego in the fire of Love so it can leave without losing face. At that moment we leave the world of fear and there is no longer anything to fear. You can stand up in full glory, in all eternity, for your own truth, for your own divinity…
Be still and know…
Yasmin
I recorded the three quotes ‘From my diary’ during this period…
As long as we are not whole inside, we will look for an enemy in the outside world. As long as we are accusing someone else, we are not free from our inner pain. Hating causes inner suffering and alienates us from ourselves.
Suddenly racism is a hot topic. Worldwide huge demonstrations are taken place. Police and ME are not interfering. It suits the rulers well. It takes the attention away from the real problem. Be sure that people start to hate each other and you have created the perfect climate to push through the controversial emergency law…
Divide and rule
What are we doing now we are in a global crisis that affects all of us? After years of discussions about our black Piet tradition, the murder of a black man in the USA is being used to prove that discrimination still exists. We do not understand that divide and rule is the method that leaders nowadays use to set us up against one another, so that our attention is diverted from that what really happens.
It is important to recognize what we have done in the past. We cannot be proud of that. Not the Dutch, not the Moors, not the Americans, not the Africans with their tribal wars, not the Arabs, or you name it.
The moment we can forgive ourselves, we can forgive others. No longer do we have to feel guilty and we can draw a line under the past. Hand in hand and fully in the present, we can go for what concerns us all: our democracy, our blood-fought freedom…
Challenges polish our soul
We are born as boundless free beings in that special place where we can learn the lessons our soul has chosen to become a better and more sincere person. The path we walk is one of trial and error: of challenges and desires, of division and connection. The goal is no more and no less than to transcend our ego so we feel in every way one with ALL that lives. We are all brothers and sisters. At the end, we can no longer speak about I and you, but only about us.
It does not matter where we are born. Innocence, freedom and wholeness are the birthright of every human. Rather than honoring our children for their wholeness, we are gradually taking everything away from them that reminds them of heaven, totality and perfection. Slowly but surely we are framed in a dualistic world of good and evil. Depending on where we were born, our color or our origin becomes superior…
Discrimination is timeless
Whites have also been trafficked as slaves. I dare to say that my father’s situation was no more and no less than slavery. After my parents’ premature death, I struggled tremendously with my health and my past. I surfaced and learned the power of forgiveness. On behold I learned to embrace myself and discovered the power of gratitude. The result was that I could embrace everything and everyone. Every soul on earth is longing to be recognized and to be known.
Did you think it was a coincidence that you were born in a black, white or blue body? Did you think it was a coincidence that you are the daughter of a king or the son of a drug dealer? Of course not. Your soul chose the circumstances to get to know yourself in all depth. As a child, you do not know discrimination. You learn this during your upbringing. That has little or nothing to do with being white or black.
Recognition is freeing us
It is the time for us white ones to recognize that we have dominated the world long enough. Do not think it will be better if Africa takes over that role. When people gain power and are not ready for it internally (and who even is that far?), even the most honest will collapse.
Every human discriminates
I was against rich people: they had an easy life in my eyes. Until I real poverty in India and realized I was cherishing my past. In this way I could be against the outside world and I did not have to take responsibility for my inner world. This insight gave me the opportunity to remain an eternal victim or to become a master of my own life. I chose for the latter.
I corresponded with a black man on deathrow in Texas. When they killed him, a part of myself died. I loved him unconditionally and did not judge what he did. Later I visited Aaron, another beautiful soul, on deathrow in USA. I was with him every day for a week – behind glass. I loved him and he loved me. However, I did not want to marry him…
It is a challenge to be in the world and to share your skills with others, without belonging to the world…
The art of living
We did not come to the earth to escape our earthly reality. Nor do we need to be attached to suffering to earn Valhalla. We are on earth to perfect ourselves in every way. Since I woke up, I can embrace every experience. There are no good and no bad experiences. Every experience is food for our soul. Life is a gift.
It is a pity that we link wealth to money, status and power.
By embracing myself, I learned to recognize and to embrace others in their true essence. I like people. My friends are in all colors of the rainbow. I honor my origins and feel at home with the scum in our society: the homeless person, the beach boy, the refugee, the person in prison and so on. When we have nothing to lose, when there is no past and no future, we are close to the Source and we learn the real art of Life.
Everything we fight is growing
By fighting against disease, we are increasingly creating a sick body and a sick society. By fighting discrimination, we create more and more division. By living through a disease, we not only honor our immune system, we become healthy and strong. We should not protect the weak ones, but challenge them to stand in their own strength. We should not demonstrate against discrimination, If we would like to demonstrate we should demonstrate for freedom. That does not divide us but connects us and that is true Love…
Reflection
By being roused by the government and its affiliated media, we are systematically brainwashed to hate and distrust each other since September 11, 2001. Believe me, not only in the rich west. Christians hate Muslims, blacks hate whites, the rich hate the poor and vice versa. Of course, that suits our rulers well.
The government is a reflection of ourselves. It makes no sense to point our finger. Honesty commands us to look inside and accept that we have completely given away our responsibility. Out of laziness, we let our lives be determined by the pharmaceutical industry, the government, the media, and so on. If that is not slavery. If working on conveyor belts with time clocks is not slavery…
Tame sheep
It is time for us to stop polarizing. We weaken our position and are only helping those in power. By systematically giving us a little more freedom, we let ourselves be dazzled and be metaphorically lead to slaughter like tame sheep. At the end, we are even willing to accept that emergency law and even the mandatory vaccination. For the sake of convenience, we are overlooking that this is not only the end of our freedom, but also of our democracy.
The art of not knowing
To be clear, we cannot go back to the past. It is time we realized that we have exploited not only each other, but also our earthly mother. It is time for a new world order, a new morality that has nothing to do with the new normal.
Of course, we do not yet know how we will color this in. First, we have to learn to embrace the art of not knowing. If the desire is big enough and we continue to dream actively, we can face this time as the greatest adventure ever, in which we bundle the Love that we essentially are together to give it shape through trial and error.
In my childlike innocence, I regularly ask somebody about their roots. Not always this is appreciated. This time I felt not only his pain, I also recognized mine and openly I shared my feelings. By doing this, I was not only healing this part in myself, I gave him also the opportunity to recognize and to heal his own past.
Unity in diversity
A black person will never become a white one and being on time is a problem for many. Therefore, we can learn something from them and they can learn something from us. None of us is any better. No longer I will accept this nonsense, like I will never will accept the 1.5 meter distance and the mask. It is not natural and sick making. If you do not pay in the bus, you are not a rainbow-rider, you will be still a black rider (dutch expression) and our tradition of black Piet can stay. Everyone can decide by himself or herself whether you want to be annoyed by that or not.
Being a victim is a choice
Stopping blaming others is the hardest thing there is, but it will set you free. You give up your victim role, your false sense of security. True spirituality is in every way taking responsibility for your own being and your life. I do not only mean our behavior towards each other, but towards every living being. We have to find back the respect that we lost for the feminine aspect in every person, for our society and for our beloved earth mother. It means that we have to accept that peace, security, equality and so on do not exist on the material level.
True life
In essence, we are all born naked and all the same. If you dare to feel this deeply within, you lose the need to point your finger at anyone. No one knows the other’s blueprint. The outside may look beautiful, but it says nothing about the inside.
When we stop bringing up the past, we can join hands and connect our hearts. Ultimately, we can stand together for the most precious thing we can acquire here on earth: Brotherhood and sisterhood. True Life can only unfold in Freedom. True Love is unity in diversity and it colors the world a bit more beautiful…
Om Shanti – Let us be in Peace

– July 7, 2020
Love is not hiding anything. Love, real love makes crystal clear what is wrong in our inner world and in the world around us. Love is like a bright light that shines into the darkness…
Others gave their lives to save mine. I am alive by the grace of love. By the grace of my wonderful general practitioner, he opened the door for me to alternative healthcare. By the grace of my wonderful surgeon. By the grace of people like Marthe Bosscher. They declared her a witch and destroyed her practice. She was threatened with imprisonment because she saved the lives of many people who were given up by the established healthcare…
Above all, I live by the grace of my own inner wisdom. The rebel within who kept forcing me to walk my lonely path to discover my own truth. Who taught me no longer to blame others, but to look inside. My testimony of this I put down in my books. Because I refused to play the guru role, that aroused resistance within the established order. Nevertheless, my books were highly appreciated by people who stepped outside the herd…
Freedom
Long live the right to self-determination of us Western people. We made ourselves depended from scientists who think they know it better than we do. Mothers, fathers, rebels and doctors who have questions are ridiculed or have to fear for their lives, like the latter group. Although many people, even on a very young age, are dying of cancer or worse, we dare not face the truth. Is it possible they intentionally kill our immune system, just to be able to bring us as meek sheep to the slaughterhouse to vaccinate us…?
I kept my mouth shut for the first half of my life. I had nothing to say and nothing to propose. After all, I did not had a degree and so I could not base my vision on anything. Nevertheless, I went through all of this. Now the time is right to share my knowledge…
Immune
Thank God, life has polished me and made me critical. I am vegetarian for decades, except in very rare cases. If necessary, I give my body time to heal and support this process with homeopathy or other natural ways of healing. I do not take acetaminophen. Not for the body and not for the soul. I dare to embrace everything that comes on my path. No Ionger I blame anything or anyone for my wellbeing. Not even myself. I stay in the midst of the turmoil. Now I dare to say I am almost immune to negative influences around me. However, I stay with both feet on the ground. With all respect, I am not a type to visualize problems away or send love around the world. If our heart is open, no longer we have to interfere with anything. Love automatically will follow its natural flow…
We do not know
Nobody knows so neither do I. I base my opinion on what I have discovered and experienced myself. This body that was not healthy at all, has grown big and strong, not because I did not have my basic injections. At that time, you could not avoid this.
Later, during my travels I disregarded all vaccination recommendations. I even crossed the border from Kenya to Tanzania with a fake yellow fever document because I did not want that poison in my body. While I spent years on the coast of Kenya, I did not take any malaria pills. The beach boys made medicine from their miracle tree for me, which they used themselves as kids. Like we used our cod liver oil in former days to get through the winter. All those years I lived there, I did not get malaria…
Weeks ago in Greece, I heard about the corona virus. Wow, now they really found something to hide the truth, I felt. The truth about refugees, about 5G, child pornography, animal industry, vaccinations, about… Fill in yourself…
Wake-up call
I am still positive. I think we act out of ignorance until life forces us to wake up. Who knows, maybe this is the right moment, maybe this is our wake-up call…
I have to say never before I had such beautiful encounters in my forest and in my village then since this outbreak. A village where I was outcast for years, because I seems not to be a normal tribe member…
Still my heart is connected with my friends in Kenya, who are locked up now and really have nothing to eat. With all what happens now in India. With my friends the refugees. Our love and support is their engine. They are an inseparable part of me and show a clear example of pure strength and heroism…
Grateful
I had no desire to come back to the Netherlands, however this is the place I have to be right now. I am grateful that I am born in the West. I am grateful for all the amenities that are available to us. I am grateful that we are going to hand over some of these facilities. Because of this, we will become stronger and more independent. It is comparable to our immune system as long we give our body the opportunity to follow its natural intelligence. I am grateful that I took the freedom to step out of the established order without openly being punished.
I had my doubts if I should put all of this online. Not that I am afraid to be judged. I am used to that. I did not want to be thrown off the internet. However, if we want to create another visible reality, we need to stand up for our own truth. In doing so we encourage all people who feel the same, but still need a little push to come outside with it…
I love myself – that is why I love you too…
Yasmin
Do not believe hearsay. So neither of mine. Exclude news items. Discover everything with a childlike curiosity and feel what truth is to you. If this article makes your heart sing, forward it please…
What happened to us people that we beat each other up on the street. That we treat people like animals who desparetely leave their homeland and force them to live in circumstances even unworthy to animals…
Inhuman
Not only we lost the road, we have lost ourselves. It is a tough time, also for the refugee. They are virtually outlawed now Greece has tightened up the rules so inhumanely.
After all the squads and hotels are cleared, our Isaac from Nigeria, father of Conrad, was picked from the street while coming from his job and thrown into prison. Like hundreds with him. They just want to deport around 20.000 people…
Fear
There was a heavy fight in Samos town the week we arrived. Then the camp went on fire. Hundreds of people lost their tent and lived in fear on the street. We were amongst the people. I touched, listened to their stories and spread them via Facebook. The police arrested us. An Ngo accused us that we brought their policies in danger. I decided that listening and touching could not be punishable…
Training
As always we are surrounded by beautiful people. Couples from the Arab world with sometimes a fierce history. But mainly by men. Usually blacks. I decided to give training to men together with Giri. Thank God that I had an intens Africa training in Kenya! No matter how much I love those guys, making appointments is almost impossible…
Patience
We started in a huge mess. After almost two weeks I dare to say: It starts to look like something. I learned a lot. Especially patience. And they learned also something they say…
Caring
Anthony from Ghana: ‘Mom, before I met you I was just thinking to end my life. But now I want to live. Even if they deport me, I know that it is God’s will and I am going to make something good out of it…’
Toure from Togo has been terribly abused. He was a shy animal when we met him. He is flowering and has a beautiful inner world. He is sweet and caring and sings like a nightingale…
Singing
We live outside of Samos town and travel by bus. And by doing this we meet the true heart of the real Greek. We bring them into contact with our friends. Many appreciate that. They do not dare to show their sympathy openly because they are afraid of punishment.
One day a week we take a number of these lads into the mountains. We pay their travel expenses, their food etc. It is a party for all of us.
I feel at home among these beautiful guys. We dance spontaneously in the restaurant of Katharina at the summit. We sing their traditional songs. And then after hours of climbing and descending we come home and suddenly they are in the badroom where there is no door and all three are praying in our little place as if it always has been that way.
Shining with gratitude, we put them on the bus. I realize that I have become a better person thanks to them…
Education
I am confronting. Also in the course. We talk about vengeance, about homophilia, about traditions. About what is different and what connects us…
I feed them and let myself be fed. In the evening when we walk to the bus we chat with people. I embrace men and women and hug children. Those who are ignored by the locals enjoy this. Faces break open and a radiant smile is our reward…
Hero’s
Although I sympathize with them, I don’t see anyone as a victim. Wherever we are in life, no matter how bad it may be, and it cannot be much worse than here: You cannot always influence the outside world. But your inner world is your own making.
I feel a deep respect for those boys who manage to live their lives in these bizarre circumstances and still set an example for the outside world.
To say it in all simplicity: we can use a bunch of them in Europe and in the Netherlands…
The moment you look people straight in their eyes, you will meet their true Being. Strangers no longer exist.
Syrians, Afghans, Kurds, Iraqis, Iranians, Cashmere, Tunisians. We meet them all at the port of Pireaus where they are stranded five months ago after the borders closed and which port is now in Chinese hands…
Although there is a difference in status, their stories are almost identical. Many have fled the war and lost relatives, others came because they wanted to build a better life in the ‘promised land’ of their imagination. They were imprisoned in Turkey, crossed the border in the night and were terrified to be arrested or to drown with the boat. Some left entire families behind, others have a family member somewhere in Europe.
Signposts
The army and the church take care for food. There are tents and blankets provided by the UN. There is a Red Cross post, free transportation and loads of young people coming by organizations to assist with food and clothing distribution, to teach English or to play with the children. Some people are totslly apathetic, others like Fatia, her sister and their families have created a home where everybody, refugees as well as volunteers can recharge. You get offered something everywhere: tea, coffee, fruit juice or fruit. People are starting to know us, kids shine as they see us. Literally I put my arms around them, large or small. Sometimes we are a signpost for new volunteers…
Safely
We do nothing – and because of that the energy called Love flows naturally. The moment you embrase people, all judgments will disappear. No, the Syrians are not poor, but they lost their homes and family members in the war, left everything behind and paid huge sums to escape to a safe place. And we would certainly do the same. Whattsapp provides a wunderful connection with friends or relatives elsewhere.
Everyone lives his own blueprint. Situations that seem inhuman in our eyes, undoubtedly lead sooner or later to polish the pathway our soul has chosen for.
Human
I am not here because I want to be good, I am not here because I want to be an angel. I am here because I want to be in all respects a true Human-being. To experience and to be present with an open heart and to put literally my arms around the people, all judgments are fading away and I meet all particles of mySelf. Undoubtedly all of us become richer…
Heart-warming
Jafar from Afghanistan is here because for him there is no future in his country. He is caring for a group of Afghan men and acts together with those guys as brothers and protectors for Fatima and her daughter Modisa. Heart-warming! He does not see another way out then to leave the country illegally. But first he wants to find a safe place for this mother and daughter. We try to help him. There is no way back. In my heart I will travel with him…
‘The Koran is a wonderful guide to walk our pathway,’ Jafar tells me. ‘Unfortunately, there are just a few who live this nowadays…’
My dear Jafar, you are living it. And many people I have met in those days…
Squat
A couple from Wales together with a group of Syrian people are creaking an old hospital. We pay the taxi for father Samir to get there with their furniture and we take the subway with his wife Salwa and their three kids. It is an incredible mess, but they are happy to have a place for now. We help Salwa to clean up the biggest mess. When we come back two days later their room is spotless, though there is still no toilet and electricity. Salwa is cooking for us and hungry or not, we have to eat. We know this habit globally! ‘I love you’, Salwa says as she looks into my eyes. ‘I love you too’, I answer sincerely.
Evacuation
Will it finally happen? The police came around to mention that this camp will be closed on Monday. Many families have already been evacuated elsewhere. There is a special camp for Syrians. Fatia and her family will get a caravan there. There is also a tent camp for Afghans.
But what to do with all the others – that is until now a mystery…
Om Shanti, Yasmin
