From Wiesbaden to New York

From Wiesbaden to New York - 23 Jul 09

23 Jul 2009 New York, United States of America

Today we got up very early, packed the rest of our luggage and left together with Thomas and Iris towards the airport. It was really great that we had the flight on the same day and could go there together. The journey was very smooth and everything went just fine.

We arrived in New York and our friends Su and our Jeremy were already waiting for welcoming us. They drove through the city with us and although it was raining we could get our first impressions of this big city. But after this very long day and a nice dinner we are very tired now. In Germany it is anyway already in the middle of the night.

Words of Wisdom

Religion

Religion practically teaches you to feel guilty for something that you have not done and which you really cannot influence in any way.
Source
Belief

People often trust lies and that is why lies can exist at all. You always need to believe lies blindly because if you opened your eyes, you would regret.
Source
Hope

We need hope to go on living in bad situations and there is always reason to hope. But don’t create illusions - disappointment will be even worse! Giving someone wrong hope can shatter their dreams very suddenly.
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
Judging

People who judge often have an inferiority complex and believe others judge them. If you are in your full love to yourself, you don't need to judge others.
Source
Parenting

Isn’t it sad when you practically feel your child has decreased the quality of your relationship with your spouse? That you have to take ‘time off’, childfree time to be with your partner? You cannot enjoy your life as a family well because you experience your time with your child as a burden!
Source
Respect

When you feel that a person is not respectful towards you, remember that he probably doesn’t even feel any respect for himself, so it is difficult to feel it for you.
Source
Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the biggest jewel of human life. Everybody needs to have this in their heart, otherwise you burn yourself on the fire of your anger. You need to go through your emotions, but then forgive without hurting the other one. Don't keep that in your heart. Learn to forgive.
Source
Belief

Stay true to yourself, even if your ideas and those of your elders clash. Those who love you will realize that your love is more important than old tradition and ridiculous superstition. Time has changed and knowledge and science has progressed.
Source
Anger

Someone who says he is not angry should feel responsible not to make the other one angry through his behaviour.
Source
Friend

Different cultural background or lack of common interests do not make friendship impossible!
Source
Guilt

A mistake is something that you learn from. Everybody makes mistakes and it doesn’t make sense to walk through life with this guilt until you leave the earth. Do your best to say sorry, to repair what is broken or to change the way if you made a wrong decision. However don’t carry it around after that otherwise you will be a prisoner of this guilt. Be free.
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
Charity

Charity means giving, not expecting anything in exchange. Give and Take is business. Only giving is charity.
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
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
Enlightenment

There is no moment in life in which a light is switched on, like a bulb, and from then on you are an enlightened being that can give enlightenment to others, switching on their inner light bulbs with just a little trick.
Source
Children

Full-time schools - are we turning our children into robots?
Source
Expectations

Don’t play a role but simply be yourself. Take off any mask that you might have been wearing because of someone’s expectation.
Source
Rituals

Does a soul get more comfort by expensive rituals after death?
