24.01.2022 Thoughts about IGNORANCE Ignorance is the root and stem of all evil. (Attributed to Plato) Ignorance is the root of suffering. (Avidya, a basic concept in Buddhism and Hinduism)... Ignorance + religion = terrorism, ignorance + power = tyranny, ignorance + freedom = chaos, ignorance + money = corruption, ignorance + poverty = crime. So, ignorance is the source of all evil. (Source: unknown, FB) "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all. (Gospel of Thomas) Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. (Aristotle)
24.01.2022 Your Creativity in Action - part 1 FOCUS + INSPIRATION + CONCEPT + MANIFESTATION If you ask anyone, ‘Are you creative?’, the answer is mostly ‘Oh, no, I don’t know how to draw.’ But creativity is something else, in fact, the biggest potential internal source of your own happiness. It is an action to turn your new ideas into reality. Not just to create something brand new from nothing, but most frequently by changing/rearranging the elements of a process. Like creating a new r...ecipe by adding/replacing an ingredient; or rearranging the location of furniture in a room. As 90% of people’s daily actions are based on habits, creativity needs a conscious action to do something new. The process of creativity contains 4 parts: FOCUS + INSPIRATION + CONCEPT + MANIFESTATION If you don’t FOCUS, you’re just ‘daydreaming’, you are thinking of something, then another impact reaches you from outside, so you re-actively jump onto another thinking of something, and so on. ‘Mindfulness’ is the opposite of that, so focusing is just a similar expression. INSPIRATION means originally ‘breathing in’, ‘breathing into something’ so this is when the magical moment of miracle reaches you. As it comes from your other brain hemisphere, your logical mind should withdraw itself here. (Part 2 will focus on this stage.) CONCEPT is to put new idea into the system. Your logical mind is active again, co-operating to figure out, how the idea can work, how it can provide something different, more effective, better than the old version, better than the usual. This is the first part of the ‘trial & error’ process, which leads to the next stage. MANIFESTATION is to make the idea into form, into a tangible new thing or solution. Most of the time the original idea will change a bit, to reach a better product, efficiency, solution, or a higher outcome. Most people have plenty of ideas, but just a tiny percent of that ideas they bring into life. In PART 2 I will write about the inner elements of creative inspiration and how you can practice them. Some simple HOMEWORK to break your daily habits and have a new, mindful experience: clean your teeth with the other hand; go home in different routes in the next 5 working days.
20.01.2022 Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and the thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don't see it yourself. (Edmund Lee)
16.01.2022 Life & death exercise Imagine that you are sitting on the toilet. Suddenly an angel appears and says: ‘Your life ends now. That was the original plan. You did it very well. Congratulations. But now, your life ends. We leave right now.’ Then the angel continues: ‘But you can negotiate. You can tell me 5 personal experiences that you want to enjoy, if you live further. But do not forget: you must do all of these. Another condition: each of them has to be your direct, personal experience, and not something like I want to see my grandchildren’s upbringing. You must do, manifest them, these must be your activities, things you truly enjoy from your heart.’ The angel finally says: ‘You have 1 day to think. See you tomorrow.’ (If you have the five activities, choose one of them, make an action plan, and start the first step immediately.)
05.01.2022 YOUR I-AM-PROUD-OF LIST It sounds evident that in any situation of a day it is always better and easier to make decision if you feel great, positive and confident (therefore you have a higher level of energy), and not when you are frustrated, stressed, burdened (therefore being on a lower level of energy). Even it is logical, it is not so easy to keep or reach that high level; especially when under stress you may feel an urge, a rush to make a decision. Why? To get out of tha...t situation. That is why it is ALWAYS advised to avoid any decision under stress. Because you cannot see clearly the whole situation just want to get rid of. Any exercise is very useful if able to raise your vibration. Here is one of them. Write down 10 things (skill, fact, trait, competence) that you are truly proud of. Then write down +1 thing that you want to write down into this list in 5 years’ time. Create a business card size (and thick) paper, then write this 10+1 things on it. Take into your purse, and anytime you feel, just read it. It will charge you up.
