I would like to continue writing down what I said in the lecture about negative energy in our daily life. Maybe you should read yesterday's diary to have an idea what I said in the beginning.
The important thing is that you are aware of it. If you don't see how much dirt and negativity is there, it will get more and more. But if you see it, you can clean it. It comes, negativity comes and that is natural. You know, our mind is very much attracted by negativity. It sees it very quickly. That is also normal. Of course, when you bring your consciousness higher and higher, not that much negativity will come and affect you. But even if it comes, and it will, don't worry too much about it. Just remove it.
Another thing with this negativity is this: Many people say they are so sensitive and feel so disturbed by other people's negativity, they feel it immediately. Maybe not everybody feels it. They ask themselves why they feel that negativity and not everybody else. Why doesn't everybody feel it?
I give you an example: Who smokes and goes into a room in which 100 people were smoking the whole night like in a disco, he will be okay to be in that room. For him it does not matter because he is so used to it. But for somebody who does not smoke and goes into that room, it will be horrible. He will smell it immediately and will not want to be there long. A non-smoker is more sensitive about the smoke.
Just in the same way, when you are not in negativity, when you don't want negativity, when you are not used to negativity, then you are much more sensitive for that. Maybe for others it does not matter but because you have so much love and light in your heart, have a pure, white heart, you get very annoyed by this negativity. And you see who is already in that, if there is already negativity inside, they don't even feel it. The negativity does not matter for them. So those, who ask me these questions, they ask because they have such a pure heart full of positivity and love that they feel the negative energy is attacking them. And I see and analyze and compare it in this way because I never smoked and if I go into this smoky hall it will be horrible for me. But for a smoker it will be fine.
It is also in this way: The negativity does not attack negative people because they are already full of negativity. The negativity knows that they are already negative. The negativity attacks positive people and wants to make them negative, too. It will attack more Yogis, more spiritual people. It will not attack negative people because it knows, 'oh, he is already in my kingdom, is already my disciple. I have to go to this person, he is a Yogi, he is positive, I need him.' And as these pure people are not used to it, they are very sensitive for that. Maybe you ask why this is happening to you, not to your neighbour. Why do you get all these negative experiences and not your neighbour? Yes, because the negativity knows that your neighbour is already negative enough. That is why it comes to you!
Tomorrow I will write about what we can do against it. Today Eleonora and her daughters were here in the afternoon. One of them is still a baby. It is so nice to see such a young life growing so fast. In the evening Ann and Christy invited us for dinner to a Pizzeria because it is their last evening together with us. It was great food and just in front of the Italian restaurant there was an ice cafe in which we had a wonderful desert afterwards.

I am sensitive to negativity. My mom was very negative and my dad was sensitive to it, I identify a lot with my dad and so I sensed when she was being negtive to him as well as when she was negative to me, and I remember knowing when she was going to be negative and preparing for it. Spotting the signs and getting ready. I'm trained to spot it, I can see it in everybody and it makes me a little crazy sometimes because when I see it coming I start preparing for it and with so much negativity out there I can be in a state of constant alertness that is really exhausting. It is important to be around people who don't tip off the negativity meter in me in order to feel at peace. I also want to make peace with it as it cannot rightly hurt me.

I had a friend who was so negative, nothing came out of her mouth that wasn't negative, and she is one of the few people that I have kept distance from, because I am sensitive to it and it is all she could produce. it made me sad to force a distance between us. I wish now, several years later, that I had been better equipped to handle it.

I feel very sensitive to negativity as well. Both of my parents are negative in completely different ways, so I was raised to spot all kinds and types of negativity and adapt situations accordingly. Now I am trying not to be as affected by this, but I am conditioned to see it. Sometimes it comes in handy, sometimes it is overwhelming.

Is spirituality something that you can learn, like mathematics or commerce? Don’t you think that being in love and living with honesty is true spirituality?
SourceNot rarely you can see that yoga or meditation gurus mix two common practices and call it their own, put a patent on it and then sell it.
SourceWe don’t need rituals to find God and God will not be especially happy if we do rituals for him. You can find God through love and by being in love, you do the best service to him that you can.
SourceIf you know that something is impossible but you still believe, you either want to close your eyes from reality or you are stupid. You will keep on cheating yourself and others - or will end up disappointed!
SourceChildren live fully and completely in the presence.
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?
SourceIf you forgive yourself a mistake, why don’t you forgive others for the same? Forgiveness will give you satisfaction and peace.
SourceIn India people believe chicken pox is the anger of a goddess and you cannot do anything against it with medicine – you can only pray and do rituals to appease the goddess.
SourceMany people only say their prayers with rituals, when they are in temple or church or only pray if they have a mala. Praying with a mala is not wrong but it is not the only way. You don’t need a mala for praying. And you don’t need a church for getting in touch with God.
SourceWhen you trust someone, it has to be blind trust. Either you trust or you don't. There is nothing in between, it is always hundred percent.
SourceWhen you meet someone, don't expect you to be 'best friends forever'. Just be happy to meet. Simply enjoy how nice the moment is without planning the future.
SourceIllusion only exists with the limitations of this earth. Once the soul is liberated and free of the body and this material world, rich or poor, high or low does not matter anymore.
SourceHow much would Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras 3000 years ago, charge you for becoming his franchisee and using his name and Sutras?
SourceYou cannot make everyone happy.
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?
SourceHigh divorce rates keep young people from marrying!
SourceMaking pets of animals takes away their natural freedom.
SourceI love the flexibility of religious belief! You can say any nonsense you like and you will definitely find religious arguments for it, proving your point.
SourceMany poor Indian people are happy and proud even with the little they have. Reduce your needs and learn to be happy with less, even in the abundance of the west.
SourceJealousy is just a natural emotion. If you feel jealous, allow it. If you struggle or fight with it, it will irritate you more. You can be jealous, but realize that it is not a grown-up emotion. Realize your feeling, accept it and let it go again. If there was a justified reason for it, express it. If it was not, express it to yourself and then let it go. There is no sense in being upset about the fact that you have this feeling.
