Shining Together

'In the bud, each of us is a pearl'. Only we don't always show our brilliance, because we lock ourselves in our ego shells without knowing it. Because of old pain, we may end up live in fear, uncertainty, self-defense, or anger and bitterness. Then we become hardened in thinking and doing towards ourselves, hardened towards each other, and hardened towards Mother Earth who we then abuse. Individually as well as collectively as organizations, or peoples against each other. But it really can be different!

The current Fall of Atlantis

Anyone can fall into this trap: Thinking you are better than the other. You and I both. Especially if you’re in a leadership position in government, politics, religion, business, or if you’re a VIP, but also if you’re a manager, spiritual teacher, coach trainer or guru. I see it everywhere, including in myself.

Vacation, at last! More peace, enjoyment and relaxation and an empty head, things that you don’t get around to at home. But is that really what you find?

Your intention can destroy and heal everything. In people and between people. An ego-intention destroys more than you care to imagine. And a pure intention from the heart can heal everything. In all your business and private relationships. From which intention do you show yourself to others?
