Enjoy your crisis.
Be proud of it.
This is what your soul called upon.
This is not the time to give up. It is the time to build up your strength.
The crisis is not the challenge – it is the preparation.
Now, drop your convictions.
Drop the story that you had been telling yourself.
Keep up the work. In hard times it is even more crucial.
Transform your despair into love. It is possible. This is what you are here for.
You won’t die.
Your soul won’t die.Chaos is expansion. Devote to it.
You can save your physical body only by surrendering.
Give in.
Feel it all. Yes. ALL. Don’t stop.
Appreciate it all.
Let go of it all.
Let go of the blame, the anger and the guilt.
Hold on to nothing.
Celebrate the unanswered questions.
Be shattered.
In between the pieces there is a little gem called silence.
Allow silence and peace will overtake your stirred-up mind.
If you wait long enough bliss will come and invigorate you.
I promise you.
Be patient.
Take a break.
And another one.
And another one – if you need it.Let everything die that wants to die.
As long as it takes…
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.
Living Spaces
The known is dead.
The unknown is alive.
Silence Strikes
Don’t let your rebellion become your resistance.
Remain soft.
Observe silently.
Have a little more patience than yesterday.
Who am I?
Who am I without the stories that I’m telling myself?
Who am I if I give up searching?
Who am I if I’m not defending myself?
Who am I if I don’t create?
Who am I if I’m not brave?
Who am I if I just am?
Who am I if I’m not trying to impress?
Who am I if I don’t have a plan?
Who am I if I don’t know the answers to all these questions?
Who am I if I’m losing it?
Who am I if I’m not being pathetic?
Who am I if I look into the mirror with all honesty?
Who am I if I’m only me?
Magnitude 8.5
The awakening is like an earthquake at the bottom of the ocean and you are like a vessel on the surface.
The bigger the eruption the greater the impact.
You really learn to sail on these rocky waters.
Don’t stop breathing.
Keep quiet and steer.
Trust your inner compass.
You know the tools. Be ready to apply them.
Recreate Yourself
Drink lots of water. Cry out all the tears that need to be cried. Go into nature. Breathe in some fresh air. Get out the old one. Enjoy the green and the blue. Ground yourself. Meditate. Let gravity take hold of you. Hug a tree. Search for unity. Eat vegetables. Nourish yourself. Sleep whenever you can. And don’t sleep when you can’t. Stretch. Move slow. Have patience. Plant positive thoughts and let them grow. Trust in the laws of nature. Let the elements heal you.
Amplify Love
I breathe in deeply.
All negativity evaporates with my outbreath.
A warm energy flow climbs from chakra to chakra.
Every chakra – from root to crown – unites into one circle.
A warm golden wave lights up my whole body.
Love runs through my veins.
Every tiny bit of tension eases.
A tingeling sensation circulates from head to toe – embracing my entire being.
Every cell expands.
Every cell becomes love.
Every cell erradicates the last bits of resistance.
All the energy I have ever received transforms into light.
I imagine everybody can feel it now.
The love erruption.
Be love. Now.
Restoration
Nature doesn’t want to destroy us. She wants us back.
This is the call to reunite – to reconnect.
We are called to ground ourselves. Re-grow roots. Re-store sanity. Re-integrate (into) natural order.
We are called to trust.
Trust in the natural cure that the elements provide us.
The appreciation of what is, what was and what will be is our remedy.
Let’s return home together.
It is up to us to create a new world order.
We need to learn to listen again what mother earth wants to tell us.
It’s the time to stand still in the eye of the storm and see what’s left.
A new set of values will evolve if we finally wake up.
Silent Worship
Participate in life like you are attending a funeral.
Celebrate every moment as a ceremony.
Approach every task with grace and dignity.
Appreciate the beautiful memories and let them warm your heart.
Speak words of wisdom and kindness.
Surrender to the procedure – the natural law of gain and loss.
Bow to life deeply.
On Track
You are asked to be yourself by the universe in every moment.
Stop pretending to be what you are not.
Get rid of that mask.
Be who you are.
Love. Trust. Enjoy the ride.
Life gets easier that way.
