Category: Friends
Today is the first day of the second half of the year and in the morning we said goodbye to our lovely friend Antje in Cologne and started to go to Essen. My friend Noemi always keeps us with much love and she puts much effort in supporting our projects. I am very thankful to my friends all over the world who give their heart and love.
I have often talked about friendship and its definition and sometimes I see that the definition changes here in the west. Friends cannot go along with each other if ego comes in between them. We have seen and experienced this again and again but sometimes it is very difficult to change this attitude in people. And of course it always can only hurt. And it hurts both sides. I think in this kind of situation people should look inside themselves and ask themselves why this happens again and again. They will definitely find the answer.
Then please follow your inner voice, there is the key! But the second unfortunate thing is that we mostly ignore our inner voice and decide not to respect it because of ego. I want to say please do follow your inner voice. That is truth.

Friendship is a valuable thing, I think many people can underestimate it and so they don't notice when they don't have real friends.

Being 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.
SourceIt is impossible to be ‘religious but not superstitious’ because religious scriptures are full of superstition. You cannot separate superstition from religion, its origin. It as a positive sign though, if you think this much - you have taken the first step!
SourceWe all should be more open towards others and take life easy.
SourceNever skip a reason for a celebration!
SourceFor many people the happiness of others is a bigger reason to be sad than their own problems.
SourceReligions explain that women should be obedient, submissive and not displaying or enhancing their beauty, that people of another belief are to be killed, how non-believers would be tortured and how they would suffer before their death and in the afterlife or next life.
SourceIt is always possible to have a friendly relation if two people respect each other.
SourceWe should not say doing Yoga, but being in Yoga. When your soul wants to connect and unite with its source.
SourceFascinated by celtic or Native American spirituality? Think of their bloody cruelty, too!
SourceHinduism says: don't die the wrong day or five family members will die, too!
SourceReligion often has the effect of poison: it kills people, it separates them, it creates hate among them. Human is made by god and religion is made by man. God did not create people with different religions, he made us all the same.
SourceWhy do gurus pretend to be all knowing Gods?
SourceIf you have befriended someone because of a reason, when those reasons are gone, your friendship has no meaning anymore.
SourceIn both, Hinduism and Islam, one can find proof that men are allowed and even advised to beat their wives – if they don’t obey or if they don’t want to have sex.
SourceSects create fear. Fear of life, fear of sins, fear of god. Believe in love, not in fear. There is no reason to be afraid. Love is God and God is love
SourceIf someone has trust and love, they can see God in a sculpture or statue, too. It is the power of their belief and love.
SourceFighting your ego - a continuous struggle with yourself?
SourcePeople cannot express what they feel. They often do not even really know whether they like something or not. They look at their neighbours and see what their reaction is. Then they can imitate it. Easy.
SourceReligious businessmen think that they can cheat God and his devotees, earn money from this sinful work and then bribe God to free them from that sin again. Religion gives you the a possibility to be forgiven anything!
SourceA woman just gave birth to a new child on this earth, the biggest miracle of nature itself – and Indian superstition calls her impure! Isn't that like a bad joke?
