Relax with Meditation

 I was seeing the last public speech from Krishnamurthy… What is life? Sorry, he never brought my soul in resonance as usual. Krishnamurty explained that the goal of our life is to recognize and to reunite with our true self…  And this true self is inside of our heart…. I have heard that and read that again and again… Do you find peace with the description of the true self ?Will that bring your soul in resonance with the divine? In the Hindu scripture every religious aspect is explained logically…But life and spirituality is not logical… If you have been one time in your life, in a high spiritual state, then all these logical explanations from all Religions don’t make sense… For what we need such spiritual descriptions that are totally nonsense? To exploit the people? And then I switched the youtube to Whitney Houston, Song: All in once That was much more than all the speeches of Krishnamurthy for me… I remembered I was flying to India, to see my guru … 12 hours flight… to Chennai.. 2 o’ clock in the morning… raining… and a girl asked me for assistance to find a hotel/taxi… She was quite beautiful, she wanted to do Yoga at the Yogananda center in Kerala… so we had similar destinations… She said, that she is a lesbian, so we can share the same room… I didn’t like that because I wanted to do my meditation in the morning… When we arrived at 3:30 am at the hotel, she turned the TV on in my room… And I hate TV, I wanted to stop her… but there was an awesome Raga concert on TV… I fell directly deep in meditation… could not do anything more, so she sorted out everything for me… and then went in her room. Later she came also to our Ashram… When I saw the Michelangelo ceiling pictures in a small chapel in Florence … my God it so much art… Or close where I lived (Bremen) is the magical Worpswede (famous artist village) where the genius Hoetger and Vogeler crafted their art… It has so many times blown away my mind with the beautiful landscape and art… My question is, for what are all these smart talks good? Isn't art much more? My Video: All in once https://youtu.be/XOJGrJT_5Y0My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/all-in-once.mp3

  (Franklin Roosevelt, President of the USA from 1932 until 1945) A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward. Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough. Self-interest is the enemy of all true affection. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Men and nature must work hand in hand. The throwing out of balance of the resources of nature throws out of balance also the lives of men. Among American citizens, there should be no forgotten men and no forgotten races. I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded... I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed... I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war. The truth is found when men are free to pursue it. One thing is sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at the moment... If it doesn't turn out right, we can modify it as we go along. I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made. When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on. There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still. Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off. A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people. Physical strength can never permanently withstand the impact of spiritual force. In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way. I'm not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues. I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm. There are as many opinions as there are experts. Take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly, and try another. But by all means, try something. The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.

 I found an awesome video on Youtube about this topic…I was 3 times already clinically dead (NDE).I want to help you to understand and accept death. A survey of Near Death Experience or NDE caused by cardiac arrest was made by Dr. Peter Fernwick (his book: the art of dying). He made a survey of 2000 responses of NDE, from people who never have heard about a NDE before, but had a NDE.  The results are:  A.) The NDE is different by our upbringing, religions faith, culture.The Western People have more tunnel experience with lights and the Japanese watch to cross a river… Both experiences I never had. B.) The NDE has a very big impact on our life… My life changed totally and I am grateful for that… Because money, success became meaningless …. Love, happiness, contentment make more sense! C.) Is there a consciousness beyond the brain that functions after death?Yes, this was also for me true. I left just my body and my body is just like a cage or prison… D.) Is the consciousness beyond the brain? Does our brain filter out information of that consciousness? Or is our consciousness only in the brain?Science can prove both. But sense makes only that our consciousness is beyond the brain. E.) Is there a state beyond our duality when we experience death…? Living in the here and now…? Absolutely yes, after so many surveys have been done from NDE and dying people in the hospice… My experience is that I became the neutral witness without judging… Even I saw my dead body and these stupid doctors who had caused my death…. There was no future, past only this moment… Afterward, Dr. Peter Fernwick made his next survey about the death, interviewed the nurses working in hospices and compared this with other well known surveys… What is the dying process in a hospice or in a place where the people can die in peace… 1. 14 days before the death, the deathbed visitors are coming. These people like to go in your room or stay outside of your room but they don’t like to sit close to you… Because they are scared. For instance my previous girlfriend has cancer in the third state, she will not die… When I heard that from her, I was scared to be physically close to her…Yes, I thought how lousy I am… then I embraced her…   2. You will realize that you will die and that is shocking. 3. You have to give up your attachments to your spouse, family, wealth… Otherwise it will hurt a lot! So the more you are self-centered or have guild, the more difficult it will be.  4. You have to give up your ego, personal attachment to your body… 5. If you do so, you merge with the universe to get the non-duality… 6. Before you die, you will sit up in your bed, even if you were before paralyzed, or unable… to say bye bye to the visitors. 7. Many nurses (35% of the nurses) have watched flooded light (spiritual light) that fades with the dying. 8. Birds are coming to the window and dogs, cats are howling. 9. Clocks are stopping during the death… 10. Dreams of the dear ones are happening of the dying people. For instance, when my first guru Bhagwan/Osho died, I had my worst nightmares in my entire life. Even I was not his devotee anymore and didn’t know that he was dying.

 One of the biggest problems is to get the clarity to decide in the best way… We have 5 hindrances to get clarity, explains the Buddhism. 1. Sensual desires.2. Ill will / aversion.3. Dullness, heaviness.4. Restlessness.5. Skeptical doubt. 1. Our 5 senses including our emotions are driving our decision. By a temptation, we can lose our focus to make the best decision… Our sensual desires become obsession and so we lose the path and our clarity. 2. If we have dislikes or aversion for something then this aversion can hinder us…And that we see everywhere. People are driven by their likes and dislikes; this means they have no clarity. In our Ashram we have learned to do every work, everywhere at every moment… There was no choice… I had a very high reputation because of my meditation, still I cleaned the toilets or the dirty dishes in the late night…The visitor complained about that, why should I do this work… My guru said, because he likes so… And then the visitors liked to help me and so we always had enough people for the worst work… For instance, I cleaned the toilets at a festival and then even the Indian Brahman visitors (who never do such work) helped me… 3. If our body is tired or our mind is tired, we still should do our work accordingly. Non motivation, lack of energy or depression hinder us to do well. Our training at the Ashram was, regardless of what, do your duty, even if you are ill… 4. Restlessness, the mind can’t focus, can’t relax, or live in the past. Complaining, judging the event in the past. Or the monkey mind constantly jumping from one thought to the other one… In the Ashram we always repeat the name of the lord, to get connected to god and to have a focus… Or to make music… 5. Unable to make decisions because the mind is fear driven or to try to make the best decision…  Very often we can’t make the best decision so we have to decide in a short time and to stick to this decision… You get disconnected with your goals and aspirations if you can not decide. How to get clarity? Let it rain… Recognize which state is your mind.Accept the situation or the person who is involved…Investigate your emotional and mental state and ask questions why I am in that state, emotion…? What are the consequences if I remain in that state?Do non identification practice, I am not the mind, body, emotion or the thoughts. If we decide by intuition it is much easier and mostly better… You have to be free of the 5 hindrances… And this, people never like to understand…We need faith and by our rational mind that is driven by our fear we never will find that faith…So we connect to the divine to find faith.  Come out of your cell, this means don't see anything seriously, relax and connect to the divine. Make jokes and then start new. This I have learned in our Ashram, to make every work, everywhere to every time regardless of what... The first step is to relax.

 Imagine my situation: I was a 22-year-old student studying electrical engineering, and I was involved in a major struggle with my professors because I had won the case against one of them to undo my last examination. All of the professors were very upset with me over this and gave me a hard time. Also, I was the founder of a new political party that won the last election of the student parliament.I had epilepsy, the left side of my face was paralyzed, and I had many other diseases related to the stress. I was quite ill. One beautiful Sunday, I went to the emergency doctor to receive my daily injection of Reparil. A very young, overtired doctor assisted me. While he was attempting to open the ampule, it broke. This made me nervous. He opened two new ampules and had to mix the contents of the two together. His hands were shaking, and he spilled one-third of the solution from one ampule onto the floor. I was scared and knew that it was possible to die if the injection was given incorrectly. Nevertheless, he managed to fill the syringe. He tried to inject the medication into my vein but missed, then he tried it again and again. I became furious and protested against his treatment. Suddenly, he injected the solution into my vein very fast. I lost consciousness, saw my life passing by in colorful slides, and then I saw my body from the perspective of a fly on the ceiling. I was clinically dead. I remembered my life up to that point. I had lived a life full of sorrow; I was abused and beaten by my family nearly every day. When I left the house to go to school, older and stronger children in the neighborhood would beat me up because my family was atheist. I could hardly learn my mother tongue, German, and I was a stutterer because my parents beat me for every mistake that I made, even when I was innocent. Therefore, I went to a low-grade school and struggled to learn any languages. At age sixteen, I'd apprenticed as a telecommunications installer and worked hard for twelve hours a day. I struggled with my boss because they were unjust, which I could not stand without protesting like crazy. I was scared to approach girls. My parents complained about me and always said, 'You are stupid and lazy'. I started with positive thinking, autogenic training, and self-conditioning of my mind. The side effect was epilepsy. I complained all the time and was on the edge of suicide nearly every day. Nevertheless, I had one goal as a child: To become an engineer. I went to school again but failed in the first examination, so I had to take an additional oral examination in four subjects. I finally passed as a D student. I could then study at a university. When the doctors revived me, I knew that the way I was living was entirely wrong, because I did not enjoy my life. Then I chose for my life to equal the sum of all my happiness. I finished my studies as an A student in Dusseldorf, and with the support of the government, I did my advanced studies in Bremen far away from my parents. Still, I was depressed and desired to change my life, so I started to study, in addition to engineering, psychology. After some time, I started going to self-experience groups. Unfortunately, these groups were not much help, so I tried body-and-feelings-oriented therapy, combined with meditation. And that was the starting point to change my life and to get what I want…  My Question: Ambitions are great but can you enjoy your life ? Thank you God. My Video: Episode 15, life is the sum of my happiness. https://youtu.be/OdU9r-DE8nA                 My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/episode-15.mp3

 Was a song for my generation to be free…And today we are so far away from the freedom that we had during our time.I like to share the verses of the song “Imagine” by John Lennon and some quotes of Dr. Martin Luther King… Both were killed  and for sure not from insane people. Imagine there's no heavenIt's easy if you tryNo hell below usAbove us only sky The religions want to bring the people under their control to exploit them with the hell, paradise, and God/evil that will punish bad behavior… For instance, the religions give the people a bad consciousness for enjoying sex... What the hell has this to do with God? We have to accept witch hunting, where millions of women got torched by the churches… Still, the people are supporting such evil organizations…I surrender my life to God. And for what I need the religions… ? I don’t want to harm anybody or support any corrupt organization.  Imagine all the people living for todayImagine there's no countriesIt isn't hard to doNothing to kill or die forAnd no religion too Incredible stupidness,- that we get kept in prisons called Countries and even should surrender our life to scrupulous and corrupt politicians that are enjoying making wars… For instance, on average every American President has made 3 wars… Imagine all the people living life in peace, You may say I'm a dreamerBut I'm not the only oneI hope some day you'll join usAnd the world will be as one If we see alone, the politicians love to make sanctions against harmless countries, that never will be dangerous to the countries that make the sanctions… Alone the sanctions in Iraq have killed 500,000 kids or in Venezuela 100,000 people … How can we live in peace if we vote for such warmongers… For instance, the EU bombed so many people out in Africa and then invited them to live in Europe… For sure the immigrants were raping the women and beating up the guys…   Imagine no possessionsI wonder if you canNo need for greed or… With the possessions begins the jealousy, this is also true for relationships… The people have to learn to control their jealousy, then possessions are meaningless… Some Quotes of Dr. Martin Luther King “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscious stupidity.”  “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” “A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.” My Video: Imagine https://youtu.be/gWvHFOEY4bwMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/imagine.mp3

 “You can’t will what you want.”(Schopenhauer) The sentence above looks weird at first, doesn’t it? The brilliant question is: Does the subconscious control our life? The subconscious is programmed through our parents, family, teachers, experiences, and our suppressed feelings. We act and decide upon our belief system that is programmed into our subconscious. In the first two years, we are mainly programmed through traumas and this is up to seventy percent of our belief system.   Within nine years, ninety percent of our belief system is programmed after we decide and act on it. Our mind/consciousness always finds a logical reason why we decide or act, and the subconscious has already made the decision. If we look at politicians, they always find a logical reason why a decision is considered right or wrong, even if it is nonsense.  For Schopenhauer, free will doesn’t exist. We can’t choose our birth, our parents, or even the environment in which we were born. Afterward, as a baby, we totally depend on our parents, and they programmed us. We had no choice. This looks like brainwashing. After the UN (United Nations), all people were born in freedom. When we were born we had no freedom to choose our parents or our environment, otherwise maybe we would have chosen lovely, rich parents. As a baby, we can’t even choose the language we want to speak.   “We only have the choice to go with our mind inside or outside.”(Sri Aurobindo) It makes sense to always watch our own feelings and thoughts. If we watch our feelings and thoughts, after some time we accept our feelings and thoughts as they are, then we relax and our feelings and thoughts are becoming better. In addition, there is the intuition, inner voice, divine voice, God etc., or whatever likes to guide us. If we are not aware of it, we can’t discriminate between our normal thoughts and our intuition. We have to learn to recognize this intuition/inner voice from the other thoughts to get guided from our intuition. If we decide through our intuition, we usually decide much better.  My Video: Is There A Free Will? https://youtu.be/E1sgEcO_CfMMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/Is-there-a-free-will.mp3

 (Wisdom from Judaism) Imagine you are on your death bed, do you remember your anxiety or stress from your childhood? Why not?  How long do you need to go over your stress?Did your anxiety or stress change the outcome/situation?Did it happen in any case?Could you change it? For what was your stress and anxiety good, when it didn’t change the outcome/situation? Was it good to increase your stress or fear? Is it not better not to care for your fear or stress? Is it not better to think, for what is fear or stress good, when it can’t change the situation or outcome?  Is it not better to let go of your fear and stress after you have felt them as fast as possible?  Zen Proverb: Feel your anxiety and don’t be the anxiety. I was trekking in the Langtang Valley in the Himalayas… Somehow, I imagined what will happen to Langtang when from these steep mountains on both sides an avalanche or landslide will happen… It frightened me… I arrived at a cafe where I could buy some apples and the owner was a previous mountain guide… Good to talk with him, and I asked him.  What will happen if a landslide comes down to Langtang…  It already happened 2 years ago, the entire village was destroyed… Why do you still live here in Langtang?  Why not? Are you not frightened that this can happen again? He answered: How long can you have fear?  After some time doing, again and again, a dangerous thing we lose our fear… For what is then our fear good?It never will protect us or help us… It makes our life miserable.  And the same you can apply to every emotion…Zen proverb: Feel your emotion and don’t be your emotion…Let them go as fast as possible.  My Video:  What to do when we have stress or anxiety? https://youtu.be/bnr8aAf1RMMMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast3/What-to-do-when-we-have-stress-or-anxiety.mp3  

 Very few people make a life-changing decision after 50. Changes are so impossible because they are so structured by their past… If you have a childlike faith, you are flexible and can believe in the impossible and unseen things. You are excited and curious…  You live in the moment, instead of to be in the past or in your routine.  You focus only on the most important things and let go the other problems that don’t matter. You like to learn new things and like to ask new questions to discover new things. You like to take risks. You don’t overthink your problems and you are not hooked up by your knowledge or experience to try something new.  You still have your childish creativity and love to develop something new.  You easily forgive yourself and other people for their failures. You love to have fun and enjoy even the simplest activities.    You enjoy your life and appreciate your life.  My Video: Why is it good to be like a child? https://youtu.be/Nt1tdYdrMFEMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/Why-is-it-good-to-be-like-a-child.mp3

 Wisdom is born! Quote by Sri Aurobindo Still, the people believe in Logic, even they capsize again and again… The world is chaos and has some order… but merely; it is at random. For instance, people assume that techniques are logical… I have worked in a High-Tech firm as a developing engineer under top security….And my chief and colleges explained me: 1. Technique is when it is functioning, even if we don’t know the why… A good engineer is focused that his stuff is functioning, and a bad engineer is focusing on logic! Yes, High-Tech is often beyond logic! Next example, you apply for a position in a firm and even you are the best candidate… you fail…We call this the nose factor… the people choose subjectively and are mostly subjective…As a kid I watched the grown up like the parents… And very rarely the people decided logically and even didn’t care for their own rules when they decided… 2. Techniques teach: when a system can fail by an error of its design, it will definitive fail…But we don’t know when. This means, for instance, the FED of the USA is printing money like crazy, pumping money like crazy in an ailing stock market… and so many people think the stock market has to crash and the Dollar will inflate… Yes, that is true but when? 3. Techniques teach, even if you are the very best engineer in this Galaxy you can avoid only 50% of the designing errors for an entirely new design.  Even if we are acting logical, the world is too complex to get it directly correct for a new thing, so we have to apply, “try and error”.  4. If you can solve a problem by thinking, then this is not a problem, … if you can’t solve a problem by thinking, …  For what is thinking good? (Dalai Lama)  When you read for instance, the Hindu scripture you discover that this Hindu scripture is a joke… because it is too logical… When logic dies, wisdom is born… Sri Aurobindo… My Video: When Logic dies https://youtu.be/Ao50134qokgMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/When-Logic-dies.mp3
