Today Ramona showed me two photos of people who marked us as spam after our last newsletter. Spam means that an email is unwanted. But Ramona showed me the pictures and we had their names and birth details. I also knew those pictures and I remembered that they had taken part in the distance healing in one of the last months. I said: ‘How can they think of us as spammers? How do we have their picture? They have sent it and that is how we have their picture.’
Another thing is that there is an unsubscribe link in each newsletter. If they only do this one click on this link they will never receive any newsletter anymore. But instead of that they mark us as spam. They bring out their frustration and anger in this way. They want to harm.
We were searching for the reason and found out that both people also wanted to have a Mantra which we offer for donation. We sent them the link where they could make the donation but they wanted to have it for free and this is how they got angry. And this anger they could only bring out by marking our newsletter as spam. It is okay, we anyway got to know this and we took them off the list so that they will never receive any mail anymore. It also doesn’t really harm us as it is only two people out of thousands but it is interesting to see their reaction and frustration. If people do not get things done for free, as they wanted to, and if their expectation is not fulfilled, they sometimes search for a way to harm you.

I think it's a possibility that these people were not intending harm or hurtful feelings by clicking spam. If they didn't even open the email, they wouldn't have seen the unsubscribe button. And perhaps, in a rush to delete unwanted emails, they quickly checked several emails that looked impersonal and put them into the spam category. To them, it was a quick and easy way to avoid extra unwanted to emails. To you, it was a hurtful sign of being displeased with your newsletter and web services. They probably didn't know that the spam click would get back to you, and if they did, they might have searched for the unsubscribe button... or even stopped to read and enjoy the newsletter! Perhaps they were angry about the mantra donation thing. But I don't know... just something to think about.

Sad to see how quickly anger rises in many people. Hopefully hey will be free of it someday.

Making love does not only mean sexual activities. Hug someone, create a lovely atmosphere and just love someone. Letting your love flow is making love for me.
SourceTrust in yourself and have confidence. You don't need anyone who makes you afraid with stories of a past life or makes promises for the future. Live in presence and have trust in your love.
SourceThere are some things that are stable through all changes of life and your love is one of them.
SourceMeditation is a good way to discover your feelings and to come from head to heart.
SourceNobody can predict the future, nobody knows it. The future is written in the stars but you cannot read and translate it. The mystery of what will come next has its own beauty, .
SourceSome people don’t show unconditional appreciation for something even though they really like it. Maybe they want to prove that they are able to do corrections!
SourceBeing spiritual cannot mean denying your sexuality and becoming celibate. Accept your sexuality in a spiritual way. Sexuality, driven by love, can be only spiritual, nothing else. God created us how we are and with sexuality being a part of us. Do not neglect that.
SourceKnowledge you can get without limit. But getting knowledge and knowing is something different. You can collect knowledge or you can get to know. There is a difference between talking about love and falling in love.
SourceReal Sadhus have fully renounced from worldly life and don’t ask money of tourists!
SourceEvery Non-Believer is too stupid to understand Religion! – Really?
SourcePeople usually cannot accept when the other person is different than in their imagination. It is ego. It sounds childish but if you are honest and have a close look at your actions, it is a common attitude in adults, too.
SourceYou can often hear someone say after their first night ‘It was really a good night, I had wonderful sex’. This doesn\'t mean they did anything special. It is amazing because sex itself is such a great thing. It is not the quality of the woman and the man, it is the quality of sex itself.
SourceEvery child is same and when you have this wish to give love to children, you should share your love with every child, no matter if it is yours or the child of someone else.
SourceGod lives in the heart and can come wherever you want. Temples and religious buildings are the centers of the business of religion where they see religious people as cows and milk them for money and donations, even by selling tickets. The more money you have, the quicker you can see God and the more blessings you get.
SourceMake one meal a day a meeting point, a ritual for the whole family together.
SourcePeople embrace religion simply as a good way of doing wrong without a bad conscience.
SourceIf you cannot or don't want to help others, at least don't hurt them. If you cannot give a helping hand, don't be cruel or harsh either, especially with those who love you.
SourceBe relaxed and have fewer expectations on yourself. Look forward Even to things that are important. If you are anxious you will only exhaust yourself with stress which doesn't make anything better.
SourceGod can be your friend whom you trust, with whom you can share everything and who can be mother, father, son or daughter to you.
SourceGod is not a Hindu, Christian, Jew, Muslim or Buddhist. He does not have a certain form, shape or colour. The same God that lives in you also lives in me and will be there even if all religions vanish from this world.
