Make new from old

Dear friends and visitors,

The overarching theme of the Living Room is ” How to live a life based on Truth”

For nearly 6 months I have been drawn to quietly observe the current world events by focusing on the category:  The World we live in Now.  At first I thought it was quite curious that I felt moved to shift my attention from my usual subject of holistic health and healing, to go deeper into evolving patters concerning global systems, institutions and structure.  Now I realise it has helped me to not only create a coherent picture of the most important trends and dynamics and how they are related, but also reveal their inevitable and surprisingly profound dissolution. This dynamic of moving away from things ” tried and trusted” without fear of the unknown, is reflected in a sub-category called: Breaking the Mould.

Today I have a sense I would like to start a new category to explore an entirely new ways of doing things. Born out of a need, a necessity, an instinct, a spark of genius or even sheer desperation or chaos – where are the pioneers of a New Earth, who are being pulled to go beyond the old beliefs, limitations and “order of things” to create something completely fresh and new, following nothing else but their inner sense that they just have to.

This new category is called : Make New from Old.

Please comment and share your own thoughts and experiences. As always, if you have an idea or if you would like to contribute, please send me an email.

Enjoy the Living Room, share with your friends and return any time you like !

This hidden thing

Reblogged from Just Poems:

There is that hidden thing, can you feel it ? Yet feel is not the right word, no, can you see it?. No, that's not the right word either. There is a thing, a known thing, yet known without a formed and proven emotion. It sits not in your gut, it cannot be grasped, it cannot be curtailed, it cannot be saved.

A bead of mercury

A beautiful talk by Cynthia Bourgeault on centering prayer. This talk is very much in line with my own personal experience of the biological functionality of letting go.

Silent night, holy night

Giotto’s masterpiece.

Happy Christmas everyOne

 Giotto " Nativity" - fresco ca 1304, Scrovegni (Arena) Chapel, Padua, Italy

Giotto ” Nativity” – fresco ca 1304, Scrovegni (Arena) Chapel, Padua, Italy


Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!
Alles schläft, einsam wacht
Nur das traute, hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh.

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb aus deinem göttlichen Mund,
Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund,
Jesus, in deiner Geburt,
Jesus, in deiner Geburt.

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht!
Hirten erst kundgemacht,
Durch der Engel Halleluja.
Tönt es laut von ferne und nah:
Jesus, der Retter ist da,
Jesus, der Retter ist da!
