Nothing Personal about You in my Diary - 3 Jul 08

03 Jul 2008  Golling, Austria

Category: Personal statement

Swami Ji

My online diary describes, as it is written in the introduction on the main page, situations from my daily life. This includes my feelings and thoughts and also those of the people around me. You can read about very common problems and will get to know what I think about those situations and what is my advice for example for people who come to healing sessions.

Several people told me already that they can often find their own problems or situations described. I am happy about this because it is the purpose of this diary. But please do not take it personal. It can happen that you have the impression that I am referring directly to you however everyone can be in one of the common situations and I am not talking about anyone in particular. We are all human and live on this world and thus many of us face the same problems.

Being a healer I am committed not to disclose people’s private life and their problems. I know my responsibility. Sometimes I may tell a person’s problem to share my opinion about it in my diary but I never disclose anyone’s identity. People share very private things with me which is normal because they want to be healed. You can feel free and secure to tell me these problems or situations as I do not share anything which is indicating you personally.

In the diary I talk about common problems for example of the society which can be interesting for everyone. It is good if my diary shows you the mirror of your life and helps you to deal with these problems.

Today was the last day of healing sessions here in Austria. Andrea came from Germany to pick us up so we will drive back tomorrow evening. Today we enjoyed the evening together with Reinfried. Tomorrow we will enjoy the beautiful nature around here and spend the day outside.

I suppose people might take things personally because they are, indeed, personal subjects! But it's important to be able to look at ourselves and at our egos. Don't be afraid to admit that you make mistakes and you'd like to improve things about yourself. And it's true that even if you feel like the diary is about you... there are lots of other people in the world like you in that way!

I'm glad you still write from personal experience, this is what a diary is about- sharing daily things.

Swami Ji, I am so grateful for the healing sessions I have had with you and for the opportunity to get to know you better through your diary and also, to learn more about myself and continue the healing process. You have my utmost confidence. I think that everyone who knows you would feel the same.

Words of Wisdom

  • Victim

    Being a victim is not a cure. It can be a tendency of behaviour and you have to be brave and leave it. You need to have the strength to step out of the role of being a victim.

    Source
  • Sects

    Sects 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

    Source
  • Prayers

    The aim of each prayer is getting close to God. A prayer can be in any form. Different religions suggest different ways of praying and those who did not learn any way of praying, like children, have their own prayers.

    Source
  • Friend

    In this age and time, people don’t even have time for themselves, so if someone takes out time to strengthen your friendship, it is great, appreciate it.

    Source
  • Relationship

    The key for a loving, successful relationship: reduce your ego!

    Source
  • Respect

    Only those who are not respectable can be disrespectful towards others because they don’t know the value of respect themselves.

    Source
  • Belief

    Nobody can tell you what you have to believe. Find out yourself what is good and right for you. Trust in your own feelings and listen to your inner voice.

    Source
  • God

    You cannot bargain with God and give a big donation for a big wish and a few coins for a small one. You give it to the temple, not to God. God doesn’t care about money.

    Source
  • Emotions

    The western system fails – it calculates money but emotions have no space in that equation.

    Source
  • Religion

    Don’t only talk to those who want to make you believe in their religion, talk to those who consciously decided not to believe. Make an experiment and see religion through the eyes of someone who has refused it.

    Source
  • Honesty

    You 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.

    Source
  • Spiritual

    Everybody is spiritual in his own way. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church or are not sure about god, you are spiritual if you believe in love.

    Source
  • Religion

    There are people who are professional criminals and additionally religious and there are those who are professionally religious and additionally criminals.

    Source
  • Perception

    Not any belief is good or bad, no person is good or bad and no place is good or bad. It is only your perception.

    Source
  • God

    If you wish for God to exist, he is there. Our wishes create God.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Hindu scriptures say that a woman always needs protection. First by her father and her brothers, then by her husband and finally by her son. This makes women weaker and worth less - injustice of religion!

    Source
  • Religion

    Don’t you degrade your own religion if you need to use tricks to convert people? If your religion is really the best, wouldn’t people decide for it out of their free will and not because they are obliged to?

    Source
  • Silence

    You can communicate in silence, looking into each other’s eyes and just feeling the energy. This also works as healing, it is silence therapy. Silence can cure, just try it.

    Source
  • Make-up

    Some women feel ugly without make-up. Your outer appearance can strengthen your confidence for a few moments but you know exactly who you are inside. Learn to face your originality. Accept yourself. See that you are beautiful just as you are. Real beauty comes from inside.

    Source
  • Expectations

    Do not feel guilty if you have a certain amount of expectations that you cannot get rid of.
