Unity begins within you

How wonderful it is to be human! How wonderful it is to be able to live life after life on this planet! How wonderful it is that we are made of so much that we know so little about! We travel into space, explore and invent the most insane things. We inflate our minds with "knowledge" and still strive to know more, explore more, become smarter and BETTER! But aren't we already the "best" version of ourselves? Do we really know each other? Have we explored ourselves enough to see the "big picture" within us, or are we self-satisfied? Oh it's okay. I don't like going deeper into my universe...

There are always moments in life when we doubt ourselves. We doubt our qualities. We doubt our words and our actions, sometimes even our whole being. We doubt people, God, the future. But isn't that just an insecurity that clouds our minds? Isn't it just the insecurity that we've never really learned to look at, value and love ourselves unconditionally?

And there are always moments in life when we float away. We think we're the biggest, smartest, greatest, sooo perfect! We rise above our fellow human beings, the animals, this planet, sometimes even the entire universe. However, isn't this also just an insecurity that clouds our minds from another corner? Isn't this just the insecurity that we've never really learned to look at, appreciate and love ourselves unconditionally?

We like to look at each other from above or below. Yes, we make "the world our subject", as God is said to have said in creation. Do you belive in it? And do we really think this works? Can we run around the world so snooty and treat creation in all its magical manifestations like that? And isn't our external interaction always a sign of how we treat ourselves? Conversely, doesn't that also mean that we demean ourselves and unconsciously go into a loop of evaluation instead of unconditional acceptance? Do we want that? Do we want to go through our lives unconsciously or recognize and appreciate life in its fascination?

We like to confuse acceptance with "dumbness". We like to understand them as a shallow acceptance of what is. But is that acceptance? Where does acceptance begin? And where does it stop – does it even do that? Isn't there also an unconditionality to be felt here as its basis? For far too long we have lived by a vertical principle. Exercise power, receive power, higher, lower, stronger, weaker, worth more, worth less, ... . A time has come when we as human beings are allowed to stand on a horizontal footing. We are allowed to live, speak, act and love on an equal footing with all of creation! We are allowed to look into each other's eyes and realize that we are one within ourselves and with everything around us! We are allowed to treat each other with respect and open the gates of our inner life! Just be (normal)! There is nothing to achieve! What should happen?

Sunday marks the anniversary of the "Day of German Unity" and just as people peacefully grabbed hold of themselves, took courage, opened gates and brought about change, we too can go into our inner peace. Yes, that sounds so wonderful and so simple. It is and yet it isn't! Because in order to accept and experience ourselves in our unity, we must first respect and thereby accept every moment and ourselves! At this moment a gift opens up in us, that no matter what we have done, are doing or will do in the future, we are already one! Acceptance involves forgiveness - forgiveness involves giving - giving is love!

We can't separate! We cannot separate our many bodies (physical, psychological, emotional, energetic)! We cannot separate ourselves from the world! We cannot separate in society! This only succeeds as a spectacle in our mind, which builds its own world and hopes for supposed security through the well-known. And yes, it works – but does it make you happy? Does it give us a sense of community within ourselves and with our outside world?

All of us together are one organism! Each of us does our part and contributes to this miracle of life with our beauty! And I invite you from the bottom of my heart to acknowledge and accept your part and to reunite with yourself! Especially the last few months (and probably the coming ones as well) have been separated, divided, rushed... How do you feel about it? Do you feel that this is the truth, the love, the Word of God? Or do you believe that we are meant to be one, to love, to laugh, to cry, to live, to respect, to accept, to forgive, to...!? We are around 8,000,000,000 people on this planet and an infinite number of animals, plants, ...! Don't you also believe that our connectedness has the power to be (again) one? To go back into unity to create a future that can support our children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren/... to continue this work? Can you allow yourself to dream? Are you coming with me on this path?

With all love,
