SILENCE

The ultimate Divine Truth can only be expressed in Silence. All words- even the most accurately chosen ones by someone who has attained to the state of Inner Silence and enlightenment- can at best be a clear description hinting at the Truth. God is to be found in the Silence within. A Silence where there are no more thoughts arising in the Mind, no more emotions and feelings asking for your attention. Therefore all words take you away from the Truth- even if they are speaking of God and describing Him. Descriptions are never the real thing- not even where a mundane object is concerned. And since the Divine Truth is only present in the Here/Now,- and never in the Past nor Future because they are creations of the Ego-Mind,- it can never be truly expressed in words. The AUM are the closest you can get to it.
To human-beings talking is generally very common-place and so much a part of their lives that even short moments of Silence appear unbearable. Yet how often are your words more than just an act to satisfy and quieten your Ego-Mind? How often is what you impart to others of real value on more than just a superficial level? The urge to talk about personal matters always arises from the Ego-Mind. And for as long as you identify your-self with that part in you, which is so often disturbed with currents and cross-currents you can never attain to the state of Inner Silence and Truth. Because in moments where there is silence around you the inward noise usually appears to be even louder. But you can be touched by it all the same because the Divine is all-powerful. Everyone feels calmed and soothed by the Silence of the sort God can instill through Mother Nature- even if it may take you a while to become attuned to it. Mother Nature being a very pure expression of the Divine- where it has not been interfeered with by Ego-driven human-beings.

ALWAYS A WAY

There is always a way out of any situation in life. If at times you feel there is none it is because you are staring straight ahead believing to be infallibly sure of your next step. Instead of allowing yourself the possibility to turn around a walk back a few steps from whence you came from and simply observe your prior position from this little distance. Or to look left and right instead of believing there is only one possible direction in which it is possible to walk in - or that you must go that way and no other for some reason.

TRUE SPIRITUALITY

True spirituality is a 24/7 task and not a weekend occupation to be enjoyed at leisure. Contrary to the view the purely materialistically minded individuals take, to be spiritual does not imply one dodges life's responsibilities. In fact, the opposite is the case. To turn one's steps towards the spiritual pathway in life is a sign of inner strength and means that one is finally willing to grow up and accept one's responsibilites. However atuning your-self to the Divine Light and reaching out to the spiritual heights does not have the immediate effect of instilling eternal light-heartedness and blissfulness in your heart and mind (- although the media are doing their best to promote this idea). In order to attain to such a state of Being, fortitude, endurance and faith are required, because along this pathway there are personal shadows to be faced and many a dark wilderness of the soul to be traversed. Especially at the onset of the spiritual path of Light it may appear ...

NATURAL SHARING

We are all part of an integrated whole and as such share our unconscious as well as our conscious aspects of self. To be blissfully living with our self and in the world transforms us to channels of love, peace and freedom. Therefore, in being consciously aware of the moment and its beauty we are naturally and effortlessly sharing with everyone that, which is most precious in life - love.
