Saying Goodbye to Thomas and Iris - 13 May 09

13 May 2009  Luneburg, Germany

Category: Travelling

Today we started in the morning from Wiesbaden to Lüneburg. Our friend Sabine dropped us at the train station in Frankfurt and waved us goodbye. This time we have spent a long time in Wiesbaden with Thomas and Iris and we did many things and many changes took place. I am happy to see that Thomas is getting more and more involved in music and helping people with music. It is proved that music works and helps as a therapy. I also experienced a sound massage this time and it was really nice.

But also these weeks passed quickly and since yesterday I could feel that even though we were still there they thought about us leaving and felt that they would miss us, miss eating together, cooking together, having ice-cream together and being together. Thomas also said that the house will be empty and Iris will miss the welcoming when she comes home from work. This morning, when we said goodbye we were all sad.

I am grateful to have these friends and their support and love in each way. A friend is someone who lends you his shoulder and is standing with you in every situation. We also miss them and carry their love in our hearts. We will meet soon again and I think it is nice to have this diary so our friends have the possibility to travel with us and daily take part in our life in this way.

We arrived in Lüneburg and were picked up by Michael. So now we are also looking forward to a nice week with Michael, Andrea and Ravael.

Words of Wisdom

  • Vegetarian

    There are two kinds of animals: carnivores, like lions and tigers which eat meat and herbivores, like cows and horses which eat plants. Our whole body structure, our metabolism and our jaw are more similar to that of cows than of tigers. Our teeth are perfect for grinding grains and vegetables and not for tearing apart animal flesh.

    Source
  • Body

    You are more than a body and not only your body. People should love you not because of your body. Your real freedom would be if you did not use your body as a medium to attract people’s attention.

    Source
  • Cooking

    The energy that you have while cooking also goes into the food that you are preparing. Please do not cook when you are angry. Cook when you are in good mood or make your mood good before you start cooking.

    Source
  • Prediction

    Nobody in the world can tell the future.

    Source
  • Change

    Don't like your job? - Change it or start liking it!

    Source
  • Anger

    You have to accept your anger. It is a natural feeling, created by god. It is a negative feeling, yes, but you are not bad if you feel angry. It is there and you need to live it!

    Source
  • Feelings

    Words are not the only way to communicate. A look in someone’s eyes can express feelings in a much deeper way.

    Source
  • Religion

    I don’t believe religion was previously good and pure. On the contrary, I believe it was made with the purpose to manipulate and control people. When religion was created, people were afraid of things they could not understand. Religious people gave explanations and could thus control them, taking their fear like a leash. That is not pure, that is not good!

    Source
  • God

    Someone tried justifying all gender differences by saying ‘god made women different’, not realizing that it could mean that men are the ones who are different as well.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    The problem in a discussion with religious people is that they do not only think their belief is the best but quote their scriptures as proof in their arguments and then get confused and can't believe it when somebody doesn't accept their quotations as the truth.

    Source
  • Friend

    Approaching a future friend does not work with expectations.

    Source
  • Religion

    The Kumbh Mela was created by war, corruption, cheating, greed and the wish for immortality.

    Source
  • Psychology

    Only a rapist mentality blames rape victims for their clothing and behaviour!

    Source
  • Religion

    People prefer making religious donations rather than charity donations to secure a seat in heaven by giving to a preacher or temple.

    Source
  • Money

    Earning money is an art. Saving money is a bigger art. Spending money is the biggest art. You cannot enjoy money until you spend it. Let this energy move.

    Source
  • Fear

    Scriptures and religion install fear of magic and ghosts in children and adults.

    Source
  • Gurus

    No Guru or master can tell you who you are because we are all unique. You have to find the answer yourself.

    Source
  • God

    You cannot save yourself by trusting in God!

    Source
  • Superstition

    Superstitious people let superstition rule their complete lives! The funny thing is that they won’t even notice while a non-believer watching them will think they have completely lost their minds!

    Source
  • Love

    Sometimes the mind creates an illusion in which true love cannot be seen. However love never dies and if you make an effort and don’t give importance to your ego, you can see clearly and find the love which was always there.
