It was a nice first day in Scotland. I had healing sessions in the morning and in the afternoon we went to Glasgow to have a Darshan. When I talked about being natural in the Darshan I had to think about Enki, Julie’s two and a half year old son. It is so nice to see him and his energy, how natural he is and how naturally he expresses his feelings. He laughs when he finds something funny and cries when he hurts himself.
Julie was playing with him in the afternoon and it was so funny to watch. They were playing and Julie was holding his legs so that he was upside down. By mistake she dropped him a little bit on the floor and he banged his head on the floor. He did not hurt himself, he just told his mum: “Not like this, mummy!” I saw his cute little face. It was so nice and we laughed so much about it.
We all have to be like children. We need to find our inner child which is innocent and has the freedom to express. From the Darshan we came back late and now I am tired.

I am sure, that we can learn a lot of our little ones. They are out and out pure, they don't plan anything, they take things as they come, they are spontaneous and reckless. A child doesn't know how to hide his feelings and so is their expression, they are always honest, you don't need to interprete every little gesture.

We all need to find our inner child. To laugh when we are happy, cry when we are sad but most of all to ask questions when we don't understand something. Children are so open to suggestion and help yet as adults we are often afraid to ask or to be different in case we are judged. It can be hard to be honest for fear of offending someone or their culture but I think you learn to respect people more if you ask questions in order to understand them. Children are so much more patient with each other and have more freedom to express themselves without fear.

I also think it is wonderful that children are so natural at expressing themselves. They aren't afraid to tell the truth. This is something we lose as we grow up... we start worrying about how we might offend people or what they will think of us. Of course we can still treat people with respect, but we should always speak our truth when it's important. It's nice to learn from children in their honesty and natural expression.

People may laugh about the superstition of the unlucky black cat but take it very serious if an astrologer gives them a warning about an unlucky day in their horoscope!
SourceThere should be four steps to a relationship: First you get to know someone, after that you trust him, the third step is love and the fourth step is a relationship. You cannot trust someone without knowing him. Trust is the base for love. And a relationship should be built on love!
SourceRespect your food. Your stomach is not a garbage box. You are doing something important when you are eating.
SourceThe idea of sex with the guru is fascinating - it is sex in a spiritual wrapper.
SourceDifferent cultural background or lack of common interests do not make friendship impossible!
SourceTake a step to make relations closer: call the other one your Friend!
SourcePeople lose their happiness in the effort of keeping others happy although it is impossible to keep everybody happy. Everybody has their own ego and that will clash with each other, no matter what you do. Make yourself happy first.
SourceThere is no moment in life in which a light is switched on, like a bulb, and from then on you are an enlightened being that can give enlightenment to others, switching on their inner light bulbs with just a little trick.
SourceYou say something else than you think and feel. And you do something completely different. You don’t do what you think and you don’t think what you say. You don’t say what you do and you don’t do what you say. These three things are separate from each other although they should be same: our inside, our thoughts and feelings, our talk and our actions.
SourceThe follower who goes to gurus who mainly give blessings is a very fearful one. People who fear god wish that there is someone on this earth who has the power to bless them so that nothing happens to them. They want to have assurance and that is why they feel good with those gurus. The guru becomes incredibly close to being god without really doing anything. Just blessing.
SourceSome gurus promise they could liberate you from the cycle of reincarnation. Who would prove that? But the guru makes his money…
SourceIt is difficult to believe in a God who sits in heaven, whom you cannot see, who doesn’t talk to you, whom you cannot touch, who is adorned with silver and gold in the temples and decorated with flowers, who sometimes gets stolen by thieves, which he cannot do anything about. If he cannot protect himself, how would he protect you?
SourceThere are many funny different offers in which people sell ways to get internal peace, to reach enlightenment or to get any funny kind of soul reconnection. People want the outer appearance of an inner solution to be shiny and glamorous, something special and new. But how can you get peace while being bombarded with offers?
SourceSexual feeling is just innocent and a part of your body. With your body growing, your feelings also get more mature with age.
SourceIf your pain is chronic and incurable, accept it and accept it with love.
SourceReligious traditions let followers ignore their gurus' crimes!
SourceThere is a difference in between friends and customers. Customers want something from you. Friends want you.
SourcePeople have been inspired by religion to do extremely good deeds – but in the same way others have been inspired to do extremely bad things, too. The problem is the manipulation by religion and the lack of responsibility of the believers.
SourceGive yourself a treat by moving your body, stretching, breathing! Enjoy your body and feel good in it! Whatever you do, enjoy it! Have fun!
SourceIf a player only enjoyed playing if he won the match, he would not be very happy in his profession. Don’t let your mind stop you from enjoying as much you can!
