298 Lost Souls

298 Lost Souls - Hello everyone! - I had almost finished typing last week's blog when a news app on my phone notified me about the downing of Malaysia Flight MH 17 with 298 people on board. Just the ominous headline suggesting that I follow the live report literally made me sick to my stomach. The whole scope of that tragic plane crash is still hard to grasp. My heart goes out to each and everyone who's lost their loved ones. Nothing can bring you the solace you so badly need, but please, rest assured the world is mourning with you. Any initial shock and disbelief quickly turned into utter sadness and lastly into a full- blown rage. Who the heck gives any politically unstable and war- prone nation the right to shoot down a passenger aircraft with almost 300 civilians on it? Personally, I could care less about the various tiffs and confrontations between the many countries as long as innocent travelers are kept out of it. However, now that exactly the opposite happened, it appears as if this war issue has suddenly been made our all business. Was this the original intention anyways, I wonder? Never mind, I'm not going to comment on the Ukraine- Russian crisis. Instead I'm asking president Putin to take responsibility for what happened as that airplane was reportedly shot down by a missile which the Pro- Russian Separatists had been equipped with by the Russians. I felt like throwing up as I was listening to those short translated fragments of that intercepted phone conversation between Pro- Russian rebels. Cool and calm as can be they discussed that they had just shot a passenger aircraft out of the skies. A few days ago one of the ring leaders showed his face on the Russian air demanding certain conditions appearing as cold as ice. No couth, no respect and no consideration whatsoever for human life if you ask me. Allegedly those barbarians even went through the deceased victims' belongings before wrapping their dead bodies in black garbage bags and piling them up in local train compartments. Their purpose was clearly to hold the corpses ransom in return for their demanded favors. Appallingly disgusting that is! Only the lowest of scumbags do such dreadful things. I really hope for draconian sanctions on them from both Europe and the USA as those men have undeniably overstepped the line this time. If President Putin wished to save his face, he would be well advised to hold accountable whoever gave the commando to fire that missile and whoever ultimately pressed the button. Those terrorists should be publicly trialled and sentenced in a Russian military court, so catastrophes like this one never ever happen again. I find it very hard to believe that this incident was merely an accident but rather a heinous and useless act of terrorism aimed at 298 innocent souls who had absolutely nothing to do with that war. How incredibly depressing all of this is! Now the major airlines have to avoid certain airspaces because of more than 100 war conflicts all over the globe! Unreal! At last, I'd like to address all those seemingly heartless low- life Pro- Russian Separatists. I assume, most of you have kids, too. Thus beware of Karma, the law of balance and its powers as your offspring might also be taken from you out of the blue just like this. For those roughly 300 lost souls there's in fact not much we can do anymore as they are now in a much better place with God. However, we can show our support and love for all the families and friends left behind by lighting candles and sending prayers to assist them come to terms with a tragedy as insane and pointless as this one.

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)   - Die Dauer unserer Zusammenkünfte mit anderen Seelen mag von einigen Minuten bis hin zu einer Stunde, einem Tag, einer Dekade oder sogar darüber hinaus variieren. Das zeichnet uns grundsätzlich alle aus. Beziehungen lassen sich niemals zeitlich messen sondern vielmehr in geteilten wie gegenseitig beigebrachten Lebenslektionen und kommen durchaus auch zwischen Seelengefährten, Zwillings- und rein theoretisch auch unter Parallelseelen vor. Letztere aber treffen recht unwahrscheinlich zur selben Zeit zusammen. - Lasst mich zuerst auf das Konzept der Zwillingsseelen, Zwillingsflammen oder auch Zwillingsstrahlen eingehen. Kurz zusammengefasst, handelt es sich hierbei um zwei Hälften EIN und DERSELBEN Seele, die zu Anbeginn der Zeit in absolut harmonischer Koexistenz lebten. Selbst als wir uns als Seelen von DER Quelle an sich abspalteten, um uns letztendlich zu individualisieren, waren wir unverändert eins. Jede ...
Buy small and local   Hi everybody! - Coming from a tiny country like Austria, one might assume that globalisation is just a phenomenon tailored for larger nations, but no, it has also been affecting us all across Europe. Globalisation itself is of complex nature, and even though I'm not planning to write about globalisation per se today, it somehow dictates our overall shopping behavior by bringing in more and more big box chain stores worldwide which sets the general trend for methodically and eventually putting local small family- run as well as individualists' shops out of business. In the 70ies I remember mom and dad taking us along to a wide range of stores from the baker to the butcher, the grocer's, the florist, the hard ware place, the electrician, the tobacco store, etc. What great memories our weekly trips to the market created for us. There we would hand- pick fresh fruit, produce, and other delicacies. Sometimes we would even get a piece of fruit or a carrot fo...
College or no college - That's the question    Now the time is here again for high school graduates to venture off to college and university. I still, to this day, remember being thrilled and overly excited to start as a fresh(wo)man in a new place where studying would go hand in glove with partying for the next few years. I love to see every one's kids swarm out and flock together in college districts and on student campus terrains. Most teenagers get accepted somewhere even though often at second or third choice sites, but they will all have to face one and the same question which is, at what price? Unless you are granted a scholarship, three years and plus of college education costs you an arm and a leg, and if you keep going for more profound specialization, you will be in debts up your neck by the time you have got your PhD. Then what? Go and spit out job applications like a ball machine hoping that someone is going to hire you - unless of course you were lucky eno...
