Prayer is for desperate people!?

There is a square in the centre of Oslo, right in front of the Dom kirke, one of the main churches in the city that has 3-4 florist. The place looks like a garden and it is refreshing to walk in between the pots and plants that are set outside. I browse there on Saturdays, sometimes Sundays and always buy something beside a bunch of roses.

One thing I learned about myself is, in different periods of my life,  even when I don’t have much money, I always give priority to have fresh cut flowers in my home. They are the sign of love, beauty, respect, worth and generosity towards myself.

Today my roses are looking at me laughing out loud and the flame of the candles look quite astonished. Some days ago they saw me shedding tears out of a deep pain. 

When I felt pain deep in my heart, I sat down and prayed.

 Praying is what some  people do when they are helpless, when they feel there is really nothing  else on this earthly plane they can do to remedy the situation. So they fervently beg an entity they don’t even know. These people who pray and, sometimes cry while praying, don’t necessarily feel better after their prayer, they may actually go to bed and sleep to allow the pain to go away from the entrance it entered at first. These type of people are too clever to leave the door open but they leave the window slightly open before they sleep. Some of these people may live in Oslo you know! It is cold.

 The next day when they wake up, all they remember is that there is nothing else they can do, but they are definitely not hanged over! They are alert and they still remember their pain. While washing their face if they remember to look in the mirror they may remember their dream! Oh yea I dreamed last night.

And then they remember what Abdu’l-Baha wrote to August Forel the neuroscientist of Switzerland about dreams.

 ” The mind is circumscribed, the soul limitless. It is by the aid of such senses as those of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, that the mind comprehendeth, whereas the soul is free from all agencies. The soul as thou observest, whether it be in sleep or waking, is in motion and ever active. Possibly it may, whilst in a dream, unravel an intricate problem,incapable of solution in the waking state.”

The dream is for the dreamer. I want to believe that when I meet someone in my dream, I have really met him/her. The soul doesn’t need a ticket to fly to another continent : )

It might be that when we step into life in the morning we need to make sure we are open and remind ourselves that we have accepted the situation, regardless of what it is. It seems that it is only then that we start seeing the generosity of the universe and what it offers. 

And it is then that we may experience a surprising joy in our chest, something we have never experienced before and then we may laugh out loud in our own company, so authentically, that even the roses and candles will be astonished.

Prayer, sometimes, is conversation with the beloved, some other times out of urgency and helplessness.The nature of Prayer is that it is always heard, always!

 If it wasn’t for the pain, we wouldn’t be able to identify the joy.

Experiencing love-National Air and Space museum-in DC

Washington’s Smithsonian National air and space museum made an impression on me. I close my eyes and remember the 3D film I watched there. It was fascinating. You are seated on comfortable chairs almost laying down and the whole ceiling is the screen. As the film began I felt like I was floating in the space, it was as if I was going up with the same speed the universe was coming to me and we didn’t clash, we passed by each other.

Some heavy load came off my chest, a chakra opened up and I was at awe to the vastness of the universe, tears shed from my eyes and love filled me up and I thought about all the people I have loved once.  I thought about how large and endless this world is and how small I am, yet how endless my heart is when it comes to love.

The truth is what we see of the universe from here is the past and It resonated with the sorrow of the past in my heart, the past that was 2 days or maybe 20 years ago.

My trip to US was a very fruitful one. I met some wonderful people at conference of Functional medicine, doctors who were looking for more solutions to help their patients. I made some friends.

 I had decided that my trip was going to be an adventure and i would be an observer with no expectation.

The observer looks at everything without judgement and learns. I wasn’t passive in this trip, I participated, made connections with souls.

Learning is when we face a similar experience and we make a tiny change to the situation.

Learning is viewed when I compare ”I” with ”me”, I of today and me of 3 months  or 3 year ago. 

Today I know if I take things one at a time I can manage a lot.

 If I keep my two year plan in mind yet take my life day by day I will get to what I want. Because I felt in the museum of Air and Space that as the universe is coming towards me, I am also going towards the universe. Everything is in motion in this world, and in order for things to happen the way it is willed to happend ”I” need to make a move too and of course trust.

I need to learn that when I go towards something, that thing also comes towards me. Does that make any sense? It does to me : ) The free will that has been endowed upon us has made us special creatures in this world of being. We make the real changes in the world, and it is all about our will, but things happen when our will is aligned with the will of the universe, of love, of God!

Mark Zuckerberg thank you!

In +Washington DC in a hotel room alone, have had a good night sleep, after my flight connection that passed through Reykjavik-Iceland at dawn, and I am thinking about Mark Zuckerberg. Well...don't get me wrong I don't go for married men, I have way much respect for women to cross the line.
It is  just that since yesterday that I have been on the road I have received many many loving message and pictures on my facebook. 

So I thought about the guy who created it all...I know I know I watched the movie "social network", and I see his name in facebook comments when people are angry about new changes on facebook :)but but...

Today is my birthday I am waiting for my next flight, I am about to go down in the hotel restaurant and have my breakfast  amongst people I don't know and I am hesitant! Am I a loner? Don't know :)

 But for one thing, all the lovely message that have come and are still showering me with love from all around the world on facebook are making me happier. So Mark Zuckerberg good job!!! What a contribution to the world of humanity.

 Now I want to have a birthday wish/es !
1.I want healing for all the people who come for consultation to me!
2. I want to be able to make a contribution to the world of humanity in my own capacity and on the way, to have a companion with whom I share....my love....wait a minute angel with the stick in your hand.... and ...and he would return my love!
well I am open and communicative, I am caring and I am able to adore. I want these 3 qualities in him! now you can move the stick angel!

I hear you....my wish is granted!

Thank you!

Wrting out of love about "establishing ties"

 The virtual world and the ties in it are not that different from the real world, or most probably I am wrong. You read me and decide for yourself. I must be missing something here, either I don't belong to the virtual world or I belong and I just take it too seriously :)

The Little Prince in his journey meets a fox. He wants to play with the fox but the fox says: I am not tamed. The little prince doesn't know what” tame” means.

Fox: " It is an act often neglected, it means to establish ties."

The Little Prince: "To establish ties?"

Fox: „just that”, „ to me you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me...but if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...”

Fox: Please tame me!

The Little Prince:  I want to very much but I have not much time. I have friends to discover, and a great many things to understand.”

Fox: „one only understands the things that one tames, men have no more time to understand  anything.....”

The Little Prince asked the fox what must I do to tame you? 

Fox: „You must be very patient, first you will sit down at a little distance from me....I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. but you will sit a little closer to me, everyday...it would have been better to come back at the same hour every day.”

The Little Prince tamed the fox, and when the hour of his departure drew near „Ah” said the fox „ I shall cry”.

It is your fault said the little Prince.” I never wished you any sort of harm but you wanted me to tame you...”

„ Yes, that is so,” said the fox.

And the fox cried.

Did you ask to be tamed? Or did someone try hard to tame you? Did you cry when he/she left? What if you hadn’t asked to be tamed and you were tamed. And you are lonely and you are crying like the little fox?

Hmmm...!!! Go wash your face! You have mistaken yourself for a fox, you are The Little Prince/ss, this life seems to be about establishing ties and responsibilities. Make sure you don’t make anyone cry <3 and remember the responsibilities :)

I think we all belong to this virtual world, we have created it. As to me I feel I should, in general, take it easier :)

The echo of love

In the silence of dawn,

 I lay my ears to the door of the universe

 lest I hear the echo of my love.

 There is silence and nothing else.

 Stars blinking,

 the moon guarding

 and in the depth of the nature I hear a river talking.

 Where are the birds?

 Where are the birds?

Why aren’t they chirping?

There is so much in the silence they say,

 why am I not hearing it today?

 The fire of yearning,

 of desire,

 heats the ice in the eyes,

 everything flows.

The heart beats, the silence breaks,

 I hear the sea birds, I hear the sea birds.

 The echo of my love....alas I don’t hear...!

Writing out of love about negative thoughts.

 Do you think negatively about other people? Or you always have positive thoughts? How about when they have done something really bad to you?

Years ago when I was in Thailand, in my hotel room there was a little book on teachings of Buddha. I was jet lagged and couldn't sleep and the book was so nice and simple I began reading it.

It said when you have a thought in your mind, the whole universe is affected by it. It will be send out like  sound waves from a gramophone and it will become so widely scattered, it will fill up the whole universe and will come back to yourself and embraces you. And it continued, depending on the nature of your thought, good or bad, it will come back to yourself!

There was a drawing of an old gramophone in that book which was broadcasting flowers resembling positive and loving thoughts and that how those flowers were spreading, filling up the space and coming back and including the gramophone. That picture has stayed with me ever since.

 I sometimes think negatively about people. For example if a guy attacks you can you think positively about him?  You may even be so angry and express some very harsh negative words in your mind, but then you will finally calm down and get back to the "gramophone drawing" and "flower like sounds" :) You basically get back to your senses and realize that you and the whole world deserves peace, love, justice and positivity.

Thailand was beautiful, beaches were so peaceful, food was delicious, shopping...was gooood, but the illustration of gramophone and how my thoughts can affect you my friend, was the most precious gift I brought with me from Thailand.

May your thoughts be at peace, filled with love and positive energy, because it affects me, you see :)

 

"Armed with the power of Thy name nothing can ever hurt me and with Thy love in my heart
 all the world's affliction can in no wise alarm me."
