Jet Lag and Your Inner Clock

Jet Lag and Your Inner Clock - 24 Jul 09

24 Jul 2009 New York, United States of America

Today we were up very early because of the time difference. And this is also very nice. I am anyway a person who does not sleep very much. I do not use any alarm clocks, I sleep how much my body needs it and then I wake up and also get up. I do not lie around in bed then anymore because that just makes you tired.

Many people do not really listen to their body in these things. And of course, they will say, they need an alarm clock to be on time for work. But let me tell you that I never used an alarm clock and never missed a train or plane or slept late even when I had to get up in the middle of the night. It is a habit to use an alarm clock, you do have an inner clock which can tell you very well when you need to get up.

And if you feel in mornings that you did not have enough sleep, you need to go to bed earlier. I like to use the nice energy of the morning. Later we had a great breakfast on the roof and then enjoyed some time in the city. Now again we are tired but slowly we will get used to the difference of time.

Words of Wisdom

Decision

It is always your decision how you want to spend your day and your evening. If you want to be angry or if you want to have fun, the decision is yours!
Source
Change

When you change yourself, things start changing around you. It works!
Source
Happiness

Everyone who really loves you wants you to be happy and strong and stable in your happiness. It is difficult to have stable happiness if you cannot have a stable opinion because all the time you actually worry in which direction you have to change your opinion now!
Source
Experience

The explanation of why healing works is not important. Important is your experience.
Source
Stress

Our stress is created by thinking with ego: I have to do this, I have to be good in that and I should be perfect in another thing. Actually it would be good if I was perfect in everything! Of course this creates stress! We put such high demand on ourselves and on what we should be able to do and to achieve.

God

If you want to get in touch with god, why do you need an agent for that? Make direct contact through love.
Source
Love

Love is nothing to show off but it is still something to show to the one you love. Isn’t it beautiful to say or be told ‘I love you’?
Source
Sex

You can often hear someone say after their first night ‘It was really a good night, I had wonderful sex’. This doesn\'t mean they did anything special. It is amazing because sex itself is such a great thing. It is not the quality of the woman and the man, it is the quality of sex itself.

Sex

If someone rapes a girl, how come her honour is gone? It should be the other way around! He loses his honour by doing this crime!
Source
Religion

Where poverty is widespread, people believe more in religions. They are uneducated but they have hopes and dreams, based on God. Some gurus take advantage of their dreams and suck the little money that they have out of them. Let’s spread education so that they can really live their dreams.
Source
God

I 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.
Source
Religion

Human worship in any religion and culture is always wrong.
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
Happiness

People in India have something to give to the traveller. They can show you how to make the best of what you have. To be satisfied. To be happy. Not to compare yourself with everyone else and feel bad about it. To realize how rich you really are, not only materially but emotionally, in your heart. You learn to value the small things again and you find back to an inner happiness that cannot be shaken easily anymore.
Source
Vegetarian

You are what you eat. If you eat meat, you take the animal's energy into your body and thus people become more and more like animals.
Source
Happiness

We are mostly happy when we take but true happiness is when you enjoy giving.
Source
Religion

Why do religions make people afraid? If the rules that they put up made sense, they wouldn't need to make others afraid, others would understand it on their own and follow them!
Source
Sex

If you work with sex, do it, but don't call a sex workshop a Tantra workshop!
Source
Religion

Religion wants you to be and remain a victim. All kinds of suppression and exploitation works best when there is fear of some kind. Religion comes from fear and wants to keep you in fear.
Source
Feelings

You can trust people only when you know them and you can only get to know them if they show what they feel. So make a start and show what you feel.
