Rough Diamonds

I write a bunch of stuff – sometimes the content is useful, sometimes not so much.

In order to process my spiritual and psychological insights I like to create some sort of poetry from time to time. Sometimes it’s just a few words, sometimes it’s a letter and sometimes it’s a whole story.

‘Rough Diamonds’ describes the current state of these snippets of text.

Change Your Rhythm, Change Your Vibration

I had a realization about frequency.

A lot of us talk about raising our vibration.

But what does it really mean to higher our vibration?
Is it really about our ability to spread light?
Or do we want to higher our output?

Sometimes it seems to me that we are really talking about highering our productivity.

To me this is the insanity.

We seem to be driven by achieving more and more and more.

We want to create more impact, more content, more momentum.

And in the meantime? Do we actually achieve more? Do we do what we want to do? Do we create what we really want to create?

For my part, the answer is a clear: no!

I am actually achieving less while trying to achieve more.

Only by slowing down I begin to activate the doer.
Only by slowing down I’m starting to think clearly.

By consciously softening the pendulum swing I move towards my natural rhythm.

By tuning into a slow and dark tone, I’m starting to feel myself, steadily.

This is where I find the home of my creation.

Change is Imperative

Change is the single only constant in life.
Adaptation is the norm.
It is crucial for our survival to adapt.
Control is a toxic illusion we fall for.
It’s counter-intuitive because it suffocates our ability to innovate.
If we resist change, we are suppressing an important survival mechanism.

Lifting the Treasures

Yesterday morning I found out that the digging is over.
It’s time to lift the treasures.

Everything is right here. There is nothing to invent or prepare but only to retrieve. Probably it has been that way all along.

Lost or determined? With the bold answer to this short reflective question the year 2024 ended for me.

For the longest time I have labeled myself as lost – until I understood that my ‘getting lost’ is my determination to dig deeper.

It literally came tumbling down on me throughout this New Year’s transition: It is time to lift the treasures!

My own treasures were buried deep down inside beneath disbelief and discontent.

All of these past years I have been digging and digging and digging – until I have discovered light amidst the darkest of tunnels. I have recovered the hidden treasures of my underworld.

Am I lost or determined?

The answer, finally, became so clear to me – I would like to scream it out loud (it has been for a lot of people around me):

I am determined to explore truth!

To me this means to embody all of human nature, all my emotions, every bone, cell and fibre of being alive.

I’m determined to lift the treasures here and now.

The Antidote

It’s the opening factor.
It’s the missing piece.
It’s the glue of all connection.

Love.

It’s astonishing how convinced I am that love is the only answer there is.

How can this be?

Because I can feel it. I can lean towards it and she always receives me well.

It’s a healing force that is bringing me into union – instantly.

Where there is resistance there is love too! It’s within the fraction! It’s within the contradiction!

Always – there is a way to love.
Always – there is love all the way.

That’s the antidote. That’s the healthy destruction of violence.
