No, You Did Absolutely Nothing

No, You Did Absolutely Nothing - Hello and welcome back everyone! - I believe, we all get there, eventually, at least once in a lifetime. I'm talking about arriving at a crossroad where we just know that we have reached that point of no return. At such a fork in your way, we can't but make a choice which path to walk onwards. We can call ourselves lucky should our spouses and partners decide to pull along with us, and quite similarly, friends and family, too, may either join us down that new road or ultimately part with us. I feel that even though the latter option does inevitably happen, we need to view it somewhat differently. In general, people around us tend to stay if we entertain solid, stable, healthy and balanced relations with them. However, the wheat is definitely separated from the chaff with the kind of folks that have never truly bothered going into depth with us to begin with. The reluctance to do so for the sake of getting to know us thoroughly and consequently learning to accept us the way we are is to be blamed for just that. What I am essentially trying to indicate is nothing other than the fact that we show a steadfast tendency of eventually losing all those around us that deem us primarily convenient to their own (often painfully shallow) purposes. As I have always stressed, we need to differentiate between real friendships and acquaintances and should therefore not automatically call each and everyone friends. I consider acquaintances most significant additives to our lives, and they usually make up the majority of our social contacts. I love comparing them with the base of a soup. Friends, on the other hand incorporate the various different seasons and herbs which give the stock its necessary flavor and so spice up everything. - Just the other night, I briefly discussed my sweet friend's dilemma with one of her longterm best friends. Heartbroken over the fact that she basically feels cut out by her all of a sudden, I sadly proved to be of little to no help to her as far as offering any solace. I suppose, this is because lately, I myself have been going through a similar transition and thus started to feel emotionally numb. In essence, my apparently cold and little heartfelt advice of just letting it all go past her, made and still makes perfect sense. After all, the two women friends have in fact grown apart and as a result got to the end of their journey together. As sad and unfortunate as this may be, such is life, and we just need to accept it for there's nothing we could do to ever change that anyway. - Well, I, too, happen to presently find myself at just another crossroad in my life, and I know without the slightest doubt that I will have to part with certain folks that I have meanwhile surpassed, so to speak. Now, my looming retreat from them is bound to raise the logical question, "What did I do to you that you are acting like this now?" to which I shall answer, "Nothing, you did absolutely nothing." Funny, how much truth this response bears in itself, if you think about it. The matter of the truth is that I strongly feel that I am about to progress by taking just another major step in spiritual ways, a discipline or rather a field which I sadly have not been able to share with certain individuals (including some of my family) who I have grown close to nonetheless. The reflection about how much of all my effort has actually been reciprocated by means of overall personal acceptance frankly saddens and disappoints me deeply and ultimately numbs me all the more. I know that I can't and shan't change anyone for the simple reason that we are all on different soul levels. Therefore, with a heavy but a true heart, I will have to let go of all those who consider themselves my friends and family, although they have up to this point right- out refused to engage with me on levels other than mostly superficial ones. To all of you, who are just not willing to explore my multi- faceted being with all the gifts I have to offer such as my music, my books, all my writing, my knowledge and wisdom as a teacher, as well as my spirituality, I have nothing more to say but, "You have indeed done nothing", before lastly sending you off in love, gratitude and with all due respect.

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...
