Yesterday I said that I want to be open for everybody to approach me. And we love to live like this. However we sometimes also had the experience that this openness can create difficulties. Shortly someone asked Ramona if we could do a workshop with her. Being open, we accepted this and a few days later we saw that our chakra workshop was being advertised as a tantric workshop without us even knowing it. As Tantra is really misunderstood here in the west and only seen as a certain type of sex, we needed to cancel this workshop.
I wanted to write this especially in today’s diary to let you know, even if you see an advertisement for a tantric workshop with my and Yashendu’s name, this is not going to take place. In this advertisement we are also mentioned as masters and ‘tantric Gurus’.
Many people who see me for the first time or see a picture of me think that I must be a Guru. However if they just take some minutes and have a look at our website, they will read in the first lines there, that I am everything else but a guru. People often only see what they want to see and many people want to see a guru. They come to me with different expectations which just don’t fit with my personality.
I will be very happy to help you if I can by sharing my own experience but I will not tell you what you have to do. You need to make your decision yourself. This is what my philosophy is: you don’t need to be a follower. I can be your friend, not your master.

Wow. Maybe they used the name Tantra because they know that sex sells. But then people would come to the chakra dance party and realize it's not about sex or Tantra! Good thing you cancelled it. Your reputation is too awesome to be shaded by this.

Don't remind your children of how much you did for raising them.
SourceIf you want to get in touch with god, why do you need an agent for that? Make direct contact through love.
SourceLove can exist without sex but sex has to be with love.
SourceCriminals and people who do wrong live in fear of the consequences of their actions. Religion gives them a good way to find forgiveness. You only need to go to the temple regularly, tell a priest about what you have on your mind, pay some money, say some prayers and you are forgiven. Then you can go out to do the next crime.
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!
SourceYour wishes create God.
SourceHow would you describe spirituality? And what can you get from reading someone’s experience? For you, spirituality can be very different. And that is truth.
SourceGuilt is the result of the wish for perfection. You want to be perfect and this mistake proves that you failed, so you carry it around, defending your mistake, blaming others, hiding so that nobody finds out that you are not perfect. Everybody makes mistakes and nobody is perfect!
SourceDon’t be shy to show a little gesture if you think it will make someone happy.
SourceReligion started as a tool to explain the inexplicable.
SourceIf you feel you are overweight and you are unhappy with it, do something against it! You are the one who has control over your mind and who can shape your body. Take your responsibility and start.
SourceAll is a game of necessity in this world. If you feel a person or place doesn’t need you, leave it immediately and reach somewhere where you are needed. Never leave those who need you. If you want to be happy and respected, become necessary and useful.
SourceOnly a rapist mentality blames rape victims for their clothing and behaviour!
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t take bribes from praying criminals and doesn’t encourage them by giving them success.
SourceThere is a difference in between friends and customers. Customers want something from you. Friends want you.
SourceWe all should be more open towards others and take life easy.
SourceHuman is just a puppet in a big play. You think you are in charge but there is something bigger than you. Nature, god, the universe, however you want to call it. Even if you know your body, you don’t have full control over it. Nobody knows when, what can happen. Nobody can predict anything.
SourceSome people love money and collect it but do not enjoy it. Nobody can take money with him when he leaves this world! So why to collect? Enjoy!
SourceYou need to have enough self-esteem to know that your time and effort is valuable. Don’t let others ignore that and don’t ignore it yourself. If others take advantage of you, it happens because you let them!
SourceThe key for a successful relationship is to allow your partner to express his feelings the way he wants. Love is not about owning and controling. Give this freedom to the one you love.
