All
truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands
of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think
them over again honestly, till they take root in our
personal experience.
~ Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
To
broach an old topic again...
Long
time ago I wrote the article "Menopause is NOT a disease!" and
today, more than 17 months free of menstruation, I feel
like the hero of my own prediction: indeed it was a piece
of cake!
And
yes, I've had some hot flashes, which I would consider "serious",
but I dealt with them in the same manner as I always
deal with stuff like this: I look right into the eye
of the storm, I embrace the strange thing, and say to
myself: "Aha! So so. This is how it's like! How interesting!"
And
yes, each time a serious hot flash occurred, there have
been those 2 minutes, in which I've had to acknowledge
that hell couldn't possibly be hotter, but take my word:
every time I accepted the heat with a smile, it wouldn't
last any longer than 2 minutes!
And
yes, I've gained weight. But neither the hot flashes
nor the gained weight could make me talk negative about
this phase of life! I still say (and now with experience)
that it is the greatest time of my life - which I basically
said at every given moment along my road...:-)
The
way out is the way through with maximum possible awareness
and a minimum of negative influence!
In
conclusion:
Girls, Teens, Women, and people of all ages, please be suspicious when someone
tells you unsolicited bad news about your body!
Believe
nothing.
No matter where you read it,
Or who said it,
Even if I have said it,
Unless it agrees with your own reason And your own common sense.

Jokes with me:
Someone saw a number on me...
In
an email I've been asked (abridged): "...out of the blue
someone saw a number on me, three times, can you tell
me the significance of this?..."
My
answer was: "As you perhaps have seen on my site, I am
in favor of the "do it yourself" method in life. On top
of it, I deeply believe, no I KNOW for myself, that only
if I perceive it I'm supposed to receive it...
with other words, if someone sees a number on you, then this number is meant
for the one who sees it! And it really doesn't matter where or on which surface
this number is seen! In general, probably much could be said about this number,
or any other number for that matter, but if you don't stumble across this number
yourself, then it's probably not you to deal with it."
At
the time of the answer, I was completely convinced, that
this incident is the same as the I-can-heal-your-purple-nose-effect...
do you remember?
Here it goes: "I am the only one who can see that your nose is purple, but
don't worry, I can heal you from this purple nose."
Why
in the world would you want to be cured from something
that you don't even notice?
Why would you want to believe something just because someone said it to you?
Why would you allow others to pre-create YOUR reality?
And
on a foot note, this is the very reason why I stopped
writing the month's energy description...;-)
Anyway,
on second thought it became clear, that some psychic
counselors will spit fire over my reply, shake their
heads, and doom me as a weird blockhead. And I will say:
of course it is perfectly possible that the number was
seen and transmitted by the other person in the function
of a "messenger". Yes, God's ways are mysterious, Spirit's
methods are versatile, and surely any message can be
transmitted by another person, even unsolicited!
But
let me ask you this: If God wants you to see a number,
wouldn't you think God could show it to you directly?
In
my effort to help and support others to discover and
unleash their own strength and power, I sometimes act
blind for their real needs. So I was wondering if I screwed
it and wrote the wrong reply, after all, I just could
have explained that number...?
On the other hand, according to my own belief, there is no such thing as "right
or wrong", and this doubtful thought no longer was an option. The fact that
I've sent that particular answer is already the proof that it was meant to
be, otherwise it would never had left my email outbox. And, if nothing else,
my answer could be just understood as "wrong answer" and that too would be
perfectly appropriate and fine with me.
Many
pros and cons I've tried to weigh out against each other, while
they were spinning around in my head with high speed.
In the end, every thought was pressed flat against the
walls of my brain through centrifugal forces, and the
center was shining through emptiness.
If
your thoughts go nowhere
then don't go there
And
the moral of the tale:
after so many thoughts about this quick and short reply I have to assume that
I had to learn the biggest lesson myself..:-)
My
reply was not wrong. The answer is sent, it's done, therefore
I must believe that it is good the way it is. BUT I could
have done better! Much better! I should have simply answered
the question, instead of lecturing about a whole different
animal! I have done in my reply exactly that what I preach
not to do: giving unsolicited answers!
Ouch. This is hilarious.
Know
Thyself. First I have to face and acknowledge that what
could have been done better, before I can change and
better myself! And I usually go through this process
with lots of fun. I just hope, that those who receive
my emails have the same kind of humor...:-)
