Newsletter, Issue 22, October 2005
What is the energy of October 2005
October 2005 is associated with the energy of the number 17. In this month a lot of self-esteem issues can come up. Self-love and self-trust need to be re-discovered or enforced. Have the courage to stand up for your own inner insights, and remember: just because some million people do it, doesn't mean it's right..;-) Trust your inner voice, this soft and easy to overlook "first impression", and have faith in the enormous value of your intuition. Follow with confidence your own guides without overruling others, and be a guide to those who need to discover their own true self. There can arise many occasions where the self-respect will be challenged: are you doing what you do because you believe it's the right thing to do, or do you follow external motivations.
Your purple nose, which only I can heal Over time I have met many "helpful souls", "even born with this psychic gift", who poured their unsolicited bad news over me, hitting like a lightning out of nowhere (and now-here...:-) forcing me to be dealt with. I am sure you are familiar with this scenario: As I am strolling through the aisles of a Spiritual and Metaphysical Fair, looking left, looking right, I enjoy myself thoroughly and send out love & light with every step I do, because this surrounding just motivates to do so. I stop at a booth to read a banner, as a woman approaches me. She grabs both my hands, holding them tight and ignores purposely my hesitant resistance. We look into each others eyes, and it feels like a competition "Who is more psychic, you or me?" and as soon as I turn my thoughts around, loosen up, and allow to experience what she has to say, I get to hear these unbelievable things: "You have problems with you digestive system, don't you?" and I shake my head "Nope! Never had!". Watch out for people who tell you unsolicited bad news about yourself! There is nothing enlightened in such behavior! Anyway, these situations appear to me rather funny than anything else, and I tend to make clarifying jokes about it: "Hmm, ... oh, gee... I see... WOW... I really can see that you have... how to say it... a dangerously purple nose! Yes, yes, believe it, that's so not good. Absolutely not good. You can't see it, but I tell you it's there and it's not good, your purple nose!" However, I always make sure that it was understood as a joke, hoping that I'll never receive a request for the healing of a purple nose...
Who are You? YIT, Spiritual Growth Translator, wrote a beautiful anecdote about the question "Who are You?" How do You respond when asked this question? Published in October on adonim.com. Click here to read the anecdote.
Spirit's Jokes with me There have been 20 years where I was just crying. Crying about the world, the politics, the society, the people, me, in short the entire discovered insanity. Then there have been 20 years where I was laughing about everything and especially about myself, discovering the cosmic joke as well as logic within the seemingly insanity. What naturally follows is the transition phase towards mastery, meaning to claim the well deserved balanced middle ground. This is what I believe a master is: one who has seen and experienced the entire spectrum within at least one life-task, just to settle down thereafter in the neutral, opinion-free, and non-judgmental middle zone. It's the bumpy ride between the poles, far out to the ends, and then the final choice to rest in the center, observing others doing their bumpy rides. When I was banging my head on invisible walls, got bloody noses on forbidden doors, and broken legs on futile roads, I decided to run into the other direction.... just to experience again banged heads, bloody noses, and broken legs. It is like a bungee jumper: up and down, up and down, and with every move the swinging distance becomes shorter in both directions, the rubber band shrinks back to its normal state and eventually the jumper comes to rest. After having hit both the extreme of very low and very high, there is a natural desire for the moderate "anti-standpoint" or "non-opinion" state of mind - knowing that ALL and EVERYTHING is equally part of God experiencing itself. If somebody would have told me, in the hours of deepest physical and psychological pain, that it will pass and at the end unconditional happiness and a "master degree in pain resolving" is awaiting me, I probably would have made a cynical grimace and rolled my eyes over such unbelievable nonsense. And here I am, many years later, giving exactly this hint to those who ask...:-) Once I have envisioned myself, with all I know today, talking to myself when I was 20 years old. I've seen myself working so hard to help this lost soul, but she just wasn't listening, just couldn't accept me, my love, inner peace, and equanimity. None of my messages came through to her, couldn't pass the thick ego-walls. She rejected me because of my positive attitudes which she didn't know she was searching for herself. She hated me for my capacity not having the need to hate. She called me "screwball" and "madcap" because she couldn't comprehend that I was what she was searching for. She slapped me in the face, because my friendly calmness has driven her mad considering her own restlessness and pain. She threw me out, thinking she can do it all better than I ever could. Oh well... And yet, only God knows, how much I love her! She is the very reason for my "unconditional happiness" today! Without those bumps in the road and abysses on the path I wouldn't be what I AM! And to be perfectly honest with you: whenever I look back (not often though because the bliss is in the Now) I'm rolling on the ground, can't stop laughing about the long chain of scary nonsense I've done! And who knows what I will write about myself in another 20 years later...:-)

And again "yes", I am still a happy non-smoker, still since 07/20, which is 72 days, which means I have effortlessly NOT smoked round about 1,010 cigarettes!! WOW. A member reported this site: quitsmokingonline.com and I checked the FREE online course... it's very good, and basically the same approach as Alan Carr's wonderful book "The easy way to stop smoking". Both offer indeed the easy way out. Why not trying it for yourself... hmm? ;-) Much Love and Light in Oneness, There is no "truth hammered in stone". |
