PERSONAL SUCCESS

To be successful is, just like all other personal experiences in life, a wholly subjective evaluation. Because what one is seeing as success, another one is seeing as a defeat. Generally, someone is judged successful if he masters a challenge and reaps worldly recognition for it. Your own Ego, too, can judge it-self successful without requiring direct worldly recognition thereto. However in this, it is dependent upon reference values which in themselves are conditioned by the outside world. This kind of outward, personal success is usually only of short duration and is bringing its shadow along with it as soon as the situation in question has passed away and the memories thereof are losing their poignancy. Moreover, this kind of success generally creates unhappiness for others.
Whereas true success is not a mere experience but a continual state of being. It  is born out of joy over your current occupation, creates a sensation of inner harmony and obtains a similar resonance from the exterior world. Just like a shining flame of candle, which is standing in front of a mirror that is reflecting its enlightening light. Therefore, to be truly successful is to joyously master your life and to thus bring joy to your personal environment, too.

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.
