Be the Change ...

We are here for a reason, not to rot in front of our TV and computer screens, on social media or at work. There is more.
Throughout centuries humanity has literally gone astray, lost direction, headed into a very destructive direction in the recent centuries.
We left responsibilities to our "leaders", and we now live here, complain, dissatisfied, continue destroying mother Earth and Her earthlings; animals and humans, nature.
It is about time and up to us to start change.

My belief is that we are here to change something on this planet, not to just live here and continue destroying her, nature and her earthlings, animals and humans.
We are here to nurture and guard Mother Earth. So let's live by that - stop globalism, fascism, monopolism, capitalism, speciesism... let's start to live in harmony with this planet's needs, which are also ours.
Start with yourself.

A Spiritual Conspiracy

as if I would have written this myself! perfect! ;) 



A Spiritual Conspiracy
by Author Unknown
On the surface of the Earth exactly now there is war and violence and everything looks horrible.  But, simultaneously, something quiet, calm and hidden is happening and certain people are being called by a higher light. A quiet revolution is settling from the inside out.  From bottom to top. It is a global operation. A spiritual conspiracy. There are cells from this operation in every nation on the planet.

You will not watch us on TV. Or read about us in newspapers.  Or hear our words on radios. We do not seek glory.  We do not use uniforms. We arrive in several different shapes and sizes. We have costumes and different colors. Most work anonymously.  Silently we work out of the scene. In every culture in the world. In large and small cities, in the mountains and valleys. In the farms, villages, tribes and remote islands.
 
We might cross paths on the streets. And not realize ... We follow in disguise. We are behind the scenes. And we do not care about who wins the gold of the result, and Yes, that the work gets performed. And once in a while we will cross paths on the streets. We exchange looks of recognition and continue following our path. During the day many are disguised in their normal jobs. But at night behind the scenes, the real work begins. 
 
Some call us army of consciousness. Slowly we are building a new world.  With the power of our hearts and minds. We follow with joy and passion. Our orders reach us from the Central Spiritual Intelligence. We're throwing soft bombs of love without anyone noticing; poems, Hugs, songs, photos, movies, fond words, meditations and prayers, dances, social activism, websites, blogs, acts of kindness ... 
 
We express ourselves in a unique and personal way. With our talents and gifts. Being the change we want to see in the world. This is the force that moves our hearts. We know that this is the only way to accomplish the transformation.  We know that with the silence and humbleness we have the power of all oceans together. Our work is slow and meticulous. As in the formation of mountains. 
 
Love will be the religion of the 21 century. Without educational prerequisites. Without ordering an exceptional knowledge for your understanding. Because it is born of the intelligence of the heart. Hidden for eternity in the evolutionary pulse of every human being. 
 
Be the change you want to see happen in the world.  Nobody else can make this work for you.  
 
We're recruiting.  Perhaps you will join us.  Or maybe you have already joined.  All are welcome. The door is open.

the newest book in my shelf

People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks


People of the Book by Geraldine BrooksAvailable now, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of March, an intricate, ambitious novel that traces the journey of a rare illuminated Hebrew manuscript from convivencia Spain to the ruins of Sarajevo, from the Silver Age of Venice to the sunburned rock faces of northern Australia.
Inspired by the true story of a mysterious codex known as the Sarajevo Haggadah, People of the Book is a sweeping adventure through five centuries of history. From its creation in Muslim-ruled, medieval Spain, the illuminated manuscript makes a series of perilous journeys: through Inquisition-era Venice, fin-de-siecle Vienna, and the Nazi sacking of Sarajevo.
In 1996, Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, is offered the job of a lifetime: analysis and conservation of the famed manuscript, which has been rescued once again from Serb shelling during the Bosnian war. Priceless and beautiful, the book is one of the earliest Jewish volumes ever to be illuminated with figurative paintings. When Hanna, a caustic loner with a passion for her work, discovers a series of tiny artifacts in its ancient binding—an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair—she becomes determined to unlock the book’s mysteries. As she seeks the counsel of scientists and specialists, the reader is ushered into an exquisitely detailed and atmospheric past, tracing the book’s journey from its creation to its salvation.

In Bosnia during World War II, a Muslim risks his life to protect it from the Nazis. In the hedonistic salons of Vienna in 1894, the book becomes a pawn in an emerging contest between the city’s cultured cosmopolitanism and its rising anti-Semitism. In Venice in 1609, a Catholic priest saves it from Inquisition book burnings. In Tarragona in 1492, the scribe who wrote the text has his family destroyed amid the agonies of enforced exile. And in Seville in 1480, the reason for the Haggadah’s extraordinary illuminations is finally disclosed.
In Year of Wonders and March, Geraldine Brooks demonstrated an uncanny ability to hear and transmit the voices of a seventeenth century Derbyshire maid and an nineteenth century American abolitionist. People of the Bookis filled with unforgettable voices from the past, but it is Hanna’s voice—edgy, contemporary—that makes People of the Book a compulsively readable adventure story that transcends the usual boundaries of historical fiction.

The time of the Lone Wolf is over!


We are the one's we have been waiting for!
.............................................................


You have been telling the people, 
That this is the eleventh hour. 
Now, you must go and tell the people, 
That THIS is the hour, 
And there are things to be considered.


Where are you living? What are you doing? 
What are your relationships? 
Are you in the right relationship? 
Where is your water?  
Know your garden ...


It is time to speak your truth. 
Create your community, 
Be good to each other. 
Do not look outside yourself for a leader.


There is a river flowing now very fast, 
It is so great and swift. 
That there are those who will be afraid, 
They will try to hold onto the shore. 
They will feel they are being pulled apart, 
And will suffer greatly.


Understand that the river knows its' destination, 
The elders say we must let go of the shore. 
Push off into the middle of the river, 
Keep our eyes open and our heads above water.

And I say; see who is in there with you, 
Hold fast to them and celebrate!


At this time in history, 
We are to take nothing personally. 
Least of all, ourselves! 
For the moment we do, 
Our spiritual growth and journey comes to an end.

The time of the Lone Wolf is over!
Gather yourselves!  

Banish the word 'struggle' from Your attitude and vocabulary. 
All that we do now must be done, 
In a sacred manner and in celebration.


We are all about to go on a journey, 
We are the one's we have been waiting for!


--- Thomas Banyacya Sr. (1910-1999); 
Speaker of the Wolf, Fox and Coyote Clan 
Elder of the Hopi Nation

wow, a blog :))


Here I am creating a blog, something I laughed at a few years back. 
But now after having been into social networking for a while I thought I pick up that thing and try it out. 


So here is my first post - symbolically, because there is still a lot to do, before I figure out how to get this things running ;) 


And remember: 
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. 
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” 
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
