Rising to the Challenge

Posted on April 16, 2011 by Michaela

In an increasingly dis-unified Europe, stifled by debt, fear of social unrest and political panic, one country seems to be rising to the challenge ..

After painful decades of coming to terms with their role in two world wars, there seems to be a flowering humanitarian maturity in Germany, that could become the basis for a new political and economic direction in Europe.

Rethinking Germany: From nuclear to NATO
by Richard Falk

Germany, in many respects, is the least lovable country in the Western world, not only for their unforgettable Nazi past, but also due to the hard power materialism and reactionary politics of the German success story.

Despite the rise of the European Union and Germany’s dominant role as the economic engine pulling the European train, the culture and politics of the country remain unpleasantly nationalist, unwelcoming to foreign minorities, even after several generations of residence – an assessment that most of the three million Turks living there will confirm.

The feminine is waiting

Posted on April 16, 2011 by Michaela

The recent excitement about a youtube video posted by two men, pledging  alliance with the divine feminine, has made made reflect on the meaning of male and female energies in our life, and what it means in the process of spiritual awakening.

Personally I am in energy (medicine) for a long time. I have always had a penchant for energy systems and many things that are hard to describe on a physical plane, make more sense when we take the view from the perspective of energy.

All sentient beings are basically vibrating energy fields. What appears to be firm, stable and solid, only does so in our perception – in truth, everything in and around us is in motion, and what is more – intrinsically connected in one huge energy field, called the universe.

So it is not surprising, that the male-female polarities in our life is are also best understood from an energetic perspective. I know of course, that any attempt of explanation is insufficient to grasp the true nature of being, but my intent is to dispel the New Age Myths with their stories and imagery, to draw our attention to what is really happening, when we awaken.  In principle we start living a life based on the truth of ” All is One”, as opposed to follow an illusion, that is actually quite hard, exhausting  and painful  to create and maintain.

Meeting the Prophet

Posted on April 15, 2011 by Michaela

The audience fell silent, long before the prophet entered the stage.

It was a small theater, a group of maybe 200 people, that had come together to listen to the words of the teacher. The event was to be recorded and there were several camera men, operating heavy equipment.

The stage was dark, with exception of the lights on the centre, illuminating the familiar setting: a simple chair and a narrow table with a flower arrangement.

The chatting and small noises in the audience came all to an halt. There was a palpable suspense in the silence, and everyone felt the need to gather their attention, become aware and still. It is impressive how much it can be felt, when the enrgy in the room is changing.

I was sitting somewhere in the middle, next to a friend who had joined me for the occasion. We had crossed an ocean and a continent to come to that place, a city between the ocean and the sky, the clouds and the mountains. It was a long, but still pleasant journey and we have had a day of rest and long walks in the rain, before we came to the place, where the prophet was about to give a lecture to a small audience.

The Rain

Posted on April 15, 2011 by Michaela


THE RAIN
by Justme

The clouds they sang as if in pain.
A human child then felt the rain.
Water and being for the first time met
The boy announced ‘I am wet’

Tall people busy about their day
Umbrellas pop, splash and spray
For a smiling boy time falls still
Tickling taps on his face that thrill

Head moves down then fully up
Mouth wide open, he is now a cup
Reddened cheeks and one eye squeezed
Arms outstretched cold yet pleased.

Heart with excitement and joy so great
Droplets of water shoot to their fate.
The heavens and a child sweetly embrace
He gives his time, they wash his face

Jumper sparkles from drops that cling
A boy and life just sway and swing.
An adult shout calls all to a STOP!
Rains pulls away and arms soon flop

Time then whizzes, speeds and brags
Noise again booms, shrieks and drags.
Gutters and shutters, taxis and trucks
People and pigeons and bread gobbling ducks

An adult holds tight, a little boys hand
Pulls him along to something pre-planned.
Hoping and groping to find a way home.
Billions of humans within their glass dome.

If ever the books and the searching has stopped
If all these things can be daringly dropped
If you decide, to disperse all the pain.
Remember a child who just stood in the rain.

What’s True – a matter of perspective

Posted on April 15, 2011 by abitiki

In the dream, sometimes the dot is in the near, upper corner, sometimes the dot is in the far, lower corner…in the dream, made up by the mind, projected outwards onto the world.

And life can appear flat.

What’s true?

Means of life (11)

Posted on April 13, 2011 by Michaela

“Means of Life” is an inter-disciplinary approach to explore how everything is related  and to pin-point the differences between what we need and what we want.


How to save one trillion
By Mark Bitterman

In the scheme of things, saving the 38 billion bucks that Congress seems poised to agree upon is not a big deal. A big deal is saving a trillion bucks. And we could do that by preventing disease instead of treating it.

For the first time in history, lifestyle diseases like diabetes, heart disease, some cancers and others kill more people than communicable ones. Treating these diseases — and futile attempts to “cure” them — costs a fortune, more than one-seventh of our GDP.

But they’re preventable, and you prevent them the same way you cause them: lifestyle. A sane diet, along with exercise, meditation and intangibles like love prevent and even reverse disease. A sane diet alone would save us hundreds of billions of dollars and maybe more.

The Return of the Feminine Face of God

Posted on April 13, 2011 by thepixiepapers

By Nancy

Several months ago a movement was started by Gay Hendricks and Arjuna Ardagh on Facebook.    They wrote a piece called “A Manifesto for Conscious Men”.  It created quite a stir from many women, who were moved to tears; men who agreed we need to change; and men who weren’t sure this was the right change (or who just didn’t understand).
Recently they added a YouTube video and you can see that here.

Dear Woman

The comments would have given you an idea of how split people are on this (and many other topics now)….  those who want a “change” and are moving toward it; those who want “change”, but not the responsibility (ability to respond) required; and those who frankly want us to go back to the safer, “known” ground (that isn’t there any longer – but they don’t “know” that).  However, there was so much activity, they had to disable the comments.  So, if you want to read on this, you will have to “like” the Facebook page.
