| 31 Oct 2009 @ 15:09 Part 1: Waking up Part 2: The trap Have you ever felt like you are dragging yourself through life? Well, I have. On Mondays I wished it was Friday already. When the weekend finally came I got soon bored and it passed by so quickly I hardly noticed. In the autumn I looked forward the winter holidays, in the winter, I was dreaming about the summer, and when it was summer, I did not even notice it passing by. Do you have the feeling that your life is stopped by barriers? I had that often. I felt like I am not yet ready to go – there are obstacles I must overcome or solve first, before I can really create my life. As Father Alfred D Souza expressed it: "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin.” – does it sound familiar? I was waiting for as sign, something unexpected to happen, a miracle to turn my life around. I imagined and dreamed of all the good stuff I wanted, placed it in the future or in some kind of nirvana that may materialize if I really deserve it. I was unconsciously trying to avoid living in the moment... More > |

 30 Oct 2009 @ 10:15There is so much to do! Have you ever felt like you are literally dizzy from all the things that demand your attention? But your day, as well as mine, usually consists of 24 hours, whether you like it or not. So, the smart thing to do according to most time management guru's is to learn how to utilize our precious resource called TIME. A falsehood, right there. How can we deal with a resource which does not even really exist?! But regardless of our enlightened philosophical view on this matter, the clock is ticking away for the world. Regardless of miraculous moments in the Power of Now, everything around you seem to assert that time exists, and if we don't move along, we are left behind. Time in this reality is agreed upon so strongly that it is almost unbendable. The sun comes up when it is set to come up in any given time of the year, and it relentlessly goes through its path in a couple of short hours and it ruthlessly sets. We measure these changes by a cruel creature called the clock. It is ticking, so we are reminded that time has passed. Of course there are really high creative spirited moments, when we break the spell, and we are outside of the time-world. There is no time – we are free to stretch out the moment, or speed it up, it is all up to us. But those moments of being the master of time are rare – mostly we sink into the commonly agreed structure and we hurry to the next meeting, or to catch the next deadline, always racing against time. So, lets get to the point of this article, which is not to tell you that we are doomed. There are wise ways to deal with things, even such a tough one as time. So, what do you do if you want to win this battle, and get something done but quick? Do not think. Yes, do not think! I mean don't beat your brains endlessly, in place of action. Rather, start to act, one way or another. Did you realize, that while you are thinking, the whole project or task just stands still, dead in the middle, nothing moves forward?! More > |

 6 Sep 2009 @ 10:31Part 1: Waking up While I am a professional in my area and I have always been proud of doing a good job, whatever great results I delivered, however people praised me that I am brilliant, I could not get real satisfaction out of it... OK, I know I am good. And? How does that solve it? That does not get me much closer to my original life purposes in itself. So I still I could not get satisfaction or peace of mind, because my basic purpose, THE purpose of my life, seemed to have failed. I did not admit that, oh, no. It took me quite a while to admit and realize how much effect it had on me, that a group, which I have chosen to be part of eternally and give all my power to, turned out to be a false choice...
