Category: Money
As a reaction of yesterday’s diary and our newsletter twelve more days are reserved for food for a day and the sponsors will also receive Mantras. I am very happy and thankful to them. Of these twelve days six are sponsored by one of my friends. We had ten days before and twelve days more now and of course the rest of the year needs to be filled. My friend who generously wishes to sponsor six days’ food every year had the wish not to have his name mentioned on the notice board. He just would like to write ‘Today’s food is sponsored by love from somewhere in the world’. In short he wrote: ‘I don’t want to receive Mantra as an exchange for money and as a business but from love and for love.’
First of all I want to say many thanks to him for his generous heart and for supporting these children. I would like to clarify for him and maybe for many other people that with all work which I offer I am fully aware that it is energy work. If I do healing sessions which I also do with Mantras or workshops and seminars, talk or meditations or if I give a personal Mantra to someone, everything is energy work. I spent more than three years in the cave working with Mantras energy and I have experienced it as well before as after this retreat, too. It is my soul and life.
I can proudly say that I am not doing prostitution and do not sell my soul and life. If I take donations for all my work, everybody knows and can see themselves for which cause it is. From this all we are running all children charity projects, filling their hungry stomachs and are trying to give them education so that they can stand on their own two feet. I continuously spend time for all this work without having rest. It is fully reasonable that people pay in form of a donation for the time which I am taking from my life to do this.
And of course I also have the right to survive in this world. Last year I have also written about this topic of money, spirituality and energy work. Maybe it will be useful to read my words again: 28th June, 29th June, 30th June , 1st July and 2 July 2008.
I would like to mention that we did a seminar in Lüneburg, Germany with my friend Dr. Michael Kosak last weekend. When we were going back home on Sunday and my friend was driving, we had a short but very good talk about this topic. I want to write some of his words. He said that we need to combine spirituality and money.
I know many people who are very afraid of it and cannot make a balance in this. People feel guilty if they combine money and spirituality. They have a bad feeling about money itself while spirituality is good for them. Since thousands of years religious leaders have announced that money is bad. If you are spiritual and working spiritually you should not think of money. But money is also energy.
Then I said that of course all Gurus and spiritual masters like to say ‘Money is bad and you should not keep it. Give it to me.’ And that is how you will see that all these gurus and masters are very rich. From my travelling experience and from meeting many people I can tell you that all really spiritual people become poor. Then we laughed a lot about this.
Michael also said the following: How can money be bad when you feel good after getting it? Everybody feels good when he gets money, it is only afterwards that they say it is bad. How does someone express their thankfulness for the work that we did? In the form of money they show their love and their thankfulness. I said that spiritual people should also have the right to live a life in prosperity and we should invite prosperity. I talked about positive thinking and if you have this thinking why would you have to live in poverty? I would like people to wish and pray for prosperity in their lives so that they can do good things.
I would like to say to my colleagues around the world who also do spiritual work with energy, yoga or healing that they should not feel any guilt if they get paid for their time and work. They should be proud of what they are offering to the universe and that they are helping so many people. They also have the right to live a nice life with their spirituality.
I want to say to those people who need or want to get help in a spiritual and energetic way that they should open their mind and respect and honour the help which they are getting. They should understand the need of survival of this person, too, who is there for them and provides help and guidance. I am fully aware of what I am doing and don’t have any hesitation to accept help from my friends all over the world who would like to support my projects.
Today’s food was sponsored by a very nice friend whom I got to know a few weeks ago in Erkelenz.

I always believe that anything that causes fear and makes people worried and afraid is not right. You should give people trust, faith, love and compassion.
SourceNobody in the world can tell the future.
SourceWhy do you eat Pig and Cow but not your Dog?
SourceIn western cultures family relations and love relations are often destroyed by ego, when all energy is spent on destroying, creating problems and separation.
SourceThe karma philosophy makes it easy to escape responsibility!
SourceReligious scriptures are only pieces of literature that have been noted down by people in the past and should not have any relevance or importance today. Read them word by word and you will get to know their crazy and cruel content.
SourceIn Hinduism there is a word ‘Kanya Dan’, the donation of a girl from father to husband. Like a thing that can be passed on. In a wedding this ‘Kanya Dan’ is however the most important part of the marriage ceremony - and this is how religion degrades women.
SourceEverybody has a heart and a soul. The body is the temple of our soul, in which it lives and we should be very respectful with it. We should not make an exhibition with it and we should not have rules to hide it. Both is not right and if you do one of both, you are disrespecting your body.
SourceJudging is good and necessary. Use your general knowledge, your mind, your intelligence and also your feelings. You can ask experts, research on the internet and find out more if needed. Get an opinion and don’t be afraid of others criticizing it. Maybe this fear prevents people from judging, too. Have self-confidence and say what you think is right and what is wrong in your eyes.
SourceIsn’t it strange that it is offending if a normal person shows his genitals in public while religious men get worldwide fame for it?
SourceWhen there are no formalities necessary anymore, you know that it is a close friendship and love.
SourceOn the market of arranged marriages, nobody would like to marry his son or daughter to a divorced man or woman. Damaged goods, when the women are concerned. Men who have been left – who knows for which reasons? Maybe he was beating or a drinker… it must be something really bad, otherwise why would someone go until a divorce?
SourceHaving a positive attitude can help especially in situations when it is difficult for someone else not to fall into a deep hole of negativity.
SourceIn my relationship I want to give the command of my life and my heart to the one I love. Now you can guide me because I know you, I trust you, in your love, you will do best for me.
SourceWouldn't it be best if we all could just be humans and not let religious leaders earn a lot of money through their manipulation.
SourceDetachment is when you get happy by giving.
SourceComparing with other does not increase or reduce your beauty!
SourceThe idea of sex with the guru is fascinating - it is sex in a spiritual wrapper.
SourceIf you take responsibility for someone else, this person often just relies on you instead of acting himself. This does not help you and it does not help him, either!
SourceAvoiding Sex won't help fixing Relationship Issues!
