Rules for Being Human

Rules for Being Human

>> Like it or hate it – it is yours to keep for your entire period.

>> Lessons will be learned – you are enrolled in a full-time informal school called “Life”.

>> There are no “mistakes” – only lessons – Growth being the process of trial, error and experimentation. “Failed” experiments are part of the process as are the experiments that ultimately “work”.

>> Lessons will be repeated in various forms, until they are learned. After you have learned your lesson, you will go on to the next lesson.

>> There is no end to the learning of lessons, as there is no end to the part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. As long as you live, there will be lessons to be learned.

>> “THERE” is not a better place than “HERE”. When “THERE” becomes a “HERE”, you simply obtain another “THERE” which will again look better then “HERE”.

>> Other people are mirrors of you and you can’t love or hate something that you see in another person unless it reflects to you something that you love or hate about yourself.

>> Life and what you make of it is up to you – your choice!! You have been given all of the tools and resources you need and what you do with them and how you use them is up to you.

>> The answers lie within you and so do the answers to life’s questions. The only thing you need to do is Look – Listen – and Trust.

>> You will forget this again……

Sands of Forgiveness

Sands of Forgiveness

Today I have had an e-mail of Jack, a friend of mine. Jack is the guy who some time ago came to me ‘rescue’ when I was sitting on a bench in the woods getting soaked as it was raining. I haven’t seen Jack in a while, but you bet, he always gets in touch (one way or another) when he is supposed to. Amazing!

Jack send this to me today and it enough made me think about forgiveness once again.

Sands of Forgiveness
by Author Unknown

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”

The other friend replied “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

Jack also added:
“WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND – ENGRAVE THE GOOD IN STONE”

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

Have you made a promise to yourself?

What Killed Heath Ledger?

What Killed Heath Ledger?

For the last two days now I have been ‘debating’ with myself whether to mention Heath Ledger’s death. There is already to much talk about the whole situation and I didn’t want to give it any more energy than it already has. I am sure a lot will be blown out of proportion and the media isn’t really that interested in the real causes of Heath Ledger’s death.

Following an e-mail I have had of Mike Adams, here I am mentioning it after all and to share Mike’s article (as it is bloody good!) with those who haven’t already read it. It certainly made me think!!!

Mike Adams – www.NewsTarget.com

Can you imagine the outcry if Heath Ledger’s body was found next to a pile of Chinese herbs? The media outcry would be deafening, and nearly everyone would leap to the conclusion that the herbs must have killed Ledger. But when Ledger’s body is found next to bottles of FDA-approved pharmaceuticals, there’s hardly even a whisper about the deadly side effects of such pharmaceuticals (and the likelihood that Ledger was, indeed, killed by FDA-approved medicines).

The mainstream media is wearing blinders when it comes to accurately reporting stories involving pharmaceuticals. The silly presumption is that all pharmaceuticals are safe. They were approved by the FDA, weren’t they? And yet FDA-approved pharmaceuticals kill twice as many Americans each year as the entire Vietnam War. There is no industry that kills more people each year than Big Pharma — not even the war and munitions giants kill that many people.

So why does the mainstream media routinely give drug companies a “get out of jail free” card when all the evidence clearly points to the fact that Heath Ledger was killed by pharmaceuticals? (The answer: Conflicts of interest. Media is funded by pharma.)

Look at the reported facts:

1. There was no evidence of illegal drugs or alcohol at Ledger’s apartment.
2. There was no evidence of intent to commit suicide (no suicide note, no message to friends, etc.)
3. The pharmaceuticals found at the scene were prescribed in Ledger’s name (one bottle was over-the-counter, meaning it was also legally purchased).
4. Early autopsy results showed no evidence of illegal drug use or attempted suicide.
5. There was no evidence of foul play (i.e. Ledger wasn’t murdered).

So what, then, killed Heath Ledger?

Zeitgeist, The Movie | A Worldwide Expression for Change

Zeitgeist, The Movie | A Worldwide Expression for Change

‘Z-DAY’
March 15th 2008
A World Wide Expression for Change

Zeitgeist, in German means “the spirit of the age” or “time spirit”. It describes the intellectual and cultural aspects of an era.

According to the author, this movie was created so that people can be inspired to look at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not often what the population at large think them to be.

This is a MUST video – make your own conclusions!

Rather than truth as the authority.”

Alegría is a mood, a state of mind. Be awed by a theatrical landscape, as an entire empire appears… dynamic stage and a captivating display of aerial acrobatics envelops the audience. The gravity-defying production by Cirque du Soleil takes adventure to an all new level.

A masterpiece in storytelling, using acrobatic performances, the thrills and action of martial arts techniques from all over the world, plus innovations in puppetry.

Fantastic performance… The artist reflect a free and careless world… full of surprises… full of beauty… breathtaking… impressive… putting you in a different dimension. Francesca Gagnon’s voice is beautiful…

A New Earth, Awakening to Your Lifes Purpose | Eckhart Tolle

A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose | Eckhart Tolle

I found this book a wonderful read. And I have not only read it the once. Actually, I’m not sure how many times I have read it (and I will read it again), but each time I do, I discover more nuggets of wisdom and inspiration. In my opinion this book is even better than The Power of Now, which had a very positive effect on my life.

A New Earth takes you even deeper down the rabbit hole, reaching out to you on many levels, taking you closer to a state of oneness – if you allow it to. This book is written in a way that will perhaps appeal to more people.

A New Earth is written with the purpose of helping you grasp how to live in the moment, the NOW, and be at one with all beings. Tolle provides the spiritual background for anyone to make their own life – and therefore the world – better and more meaningful. Modern ideas of ego and entitlement, self and society are shattered. Tolle exposes the fears that hang over us all and shows how each of us can find happiness and health through a series of simple, life-affirming steps:

>> understanding the illusory self
>> going beyond ego
>> the secret of happiness
>> learning how to stop carrying the past
>> discovering the joy of being
>> the pain body

People have always been searching, for enlightenment, truth etc, and during what must be one of the most precipitous times known to man, Eckhart Tolle brings inspiration and hope to the reader not by providing answers, but by encouraging people to look within themselves and discovering their own truth. This is a book to study, not just to merely read! This is no ordinary self-help book but a beautifully written master piece. A stunning journey of self-enlightenment, stripping away the illusions we live by, providing a new basis for personal spirituality and self-improvement.

Very highly recommended!!!

Amazing Journey with Top Explorers Will Steger, Sam Branson and Sigrid Ekran

Amazing Journey with Top Explorers Will Steger, Sam Branson and Sigrid Ekran

I am sure that with the comprehensive media coverage most people are aware of global warming. It would be tough to find anyone who doesn’t have a clue what it is all about. Even though they all know, doesn’t mean they are all jumping up at the chance to take action either. Quite an overwhelming number of Americans agree that global warming is not only real, but caused by humans, a recent poll showed. 58% of those who say they understand the problems said no to a potential gas tax in the hope to stop it.

In an amazing journey Will Steger, the legendary polar explorer and lifelong environmental activist is leading a team of top explorers including Sam Branson, son of Virgin’s Richard Branson, and Sigrid Ekran, the most recent “rookie of the year” on the Iditarod, out across the arctic ice this coming spring . The team wants to capture the arctic trauma while highlighting the need for necessary, immediate action! Their journey will be documented in real-time, blogging and creating pod casts from the ice throughout the trip. Time-lapse video cameras will be left in their wake to capture the ice as it melts away.

It will be a tremendous learning experience and the idea is to provide schools, teachers, students and also the general public with a terrific opportunity to get more involved in educating themselves and what we can do to stop the crisis and hopefully they will be able to raise a sense of urgency in America as well as across the globe to turn awareness and latent knowledge into action.

I will certainly follow them and if you are interested check the link below:
