Life is good, life is God

what´s more to add?

The Sham Trail

2012-04-07T09:01:00.001+02:00

Shadows is nothing but a sham trial- Right now I´m working on a 4 days long shadow workshop that will be offered in Greece 9-12 of June.

Something to meditate on about the Easter..

What put Jesus to the cross was nothing but the shadows. It was the collective shadow among the people that accused Jesus. The shadows are nothing but a sham trail...

The Sham Trail; When Jesus was arrested he was sent to Grand Council who tried to obtain a false testimony against him to put him to death. Jesus never had any real chance to defend himself. It was exactly one day left until the Sabbath, and during sabbath the law did not execute anyone, because of that there was a rush with the trial which took place at night, which according to the religious leaders' own law was illegal. According to Jewish law blasphemy was enough to justify the death penalty, so it was this man accused Jesus.

About holding on to traditions

2012-03-06T21:49:00.003+01:00

Holding on to a certain form is the same as holding on to a closed door, in order to pass trough that door the form must be released. The only thing that keeps us holding on to forms, traditions and concepts are fear of losing something we thought was the truth. And that wich we thought was the truth is nothing else than a fading illusion...

The Q´ero Paqos and Ceremonies

2012-02-19T11:03:00.003+01:00

During the last five years I have been working closely with the Q´ero people and been extensively mentored by Don Francisco and from what I have learned from them I wish to share with you some knowledge about how they are working and how their perception about some things differs from the one many of us in the west are holding. The Q´eros are holding ceremonies in a complete different way than many of us in the west are trained to do and believe is the ”Q´ero way or the Inca way”.

Different levels
They look the journey of the paqo in layers where Hampiq is the first, a ordinary healer, then comes the Papmamesayoq, in the west known as the Daykeeper. Then the Altomesayoq, known as the Wisdomekeeper. They also have a concept called Kurakakulleq, what we know as Earthkeeper. They speak about Pampamesayoq Kurakakulleq and Altomesayoq Kurakakulleq. The Kurakakulleq is the most refine Pampamesayoq or Altomesayoq. It´s a paqo (shaman) who is working with the very finest energy of his/her level. Among many people in Peru the Laika is a sorcerer, according to Don Francisco the Laika is pretty much similar with Kurakakulleq.

Directions
After 100-130 despachos and different journeys together with Don Francisco and his family and other Q´eros I have never seen him or any other Q´ero ”open directions”, instead they do something called Piritingi Mesa. What they do is to call in the different deities they are working with, Starting with Wyracocha, the Sun, the Moon, stars, star nations and the different varieties in the sky (upper world) continuing with the Apus they work with and/or just have heard about. The call for Pachamama, the Ocean and the Nustas. They call for the Archetypes and power places that they are sourcing from and they call for the Kunas, the medicine people who have walk this path before them and people who still are. While doing this they blow the essence of what they are calling in in to their mesas. The same thing happens when doing a despacho, everything are called in in different layers.

Fires
I have never attended what we call a ”regular fire ceremony”, I have never been singing one song with the Q´eros but been listen to many versions of the Pachamama song, both singed and played by flute. This is a song most often shared after the despacho is made and before the cleansing with the despacho takes part. I remember I once asked Don Francisco before I had made my first journey to Peru, I asked him about the fire song Nitchi tay tay, do yo sing that song often. No he said only when in venues with people from ”the west” So I made some researches and found out that this song comes from the Tlingits. (The Tlingit ( /ˈklɪŋkɨt/ or /ˈtlɪŋɡɨt/; also spelled Tlinkit) are an indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast of America)*
When burning the despacho the shaman goes away and do it him/her self without the group or alone at night. The fuel for fires is very valuable so it´s used either for fires for food or burning despachos. No just having a fire ceremony.

So my question to you is wich is you way of bringing your medicine out to the world?

Perceptions

2012-01-25T10:45:00.002+01:00

"Be sure to invent and renew your perceptions. How can you approach life in more valiant way today?"

25 days has passed in to this new year, did you have any new years promises?
As I see it it all begins with our perception, first we have to shift the way we are holding on to things or how we look at it. When we make that shift deep within us and we make promises from there we have a whole different oppurtunity.

So today, ask your self "how do I hold the world within my self, what do I se" then choose, is this the way I want to look at life, my life? If not, honour that what is no longer needed and say thank you thank you and start searching deep in your heart for the most valiant dream, the bravest perception that you can hold right Now. And remember it´s not something you need to hold on to tomorrow, it´s enough to to it right Now, and Now, and Now.

Give thanks to all the people- Happy 2011 ending!

2011-12-30T11:33:00.002+01:00

Give thanks to all the people, all of them around you who have showed you your inner secrets during 2011, every one you have projected your emotions at (saying this is because she or he did or said..) People who have touched you in different ways during the passed year, in what ever way. Give thanks and say to your self it's ALL mine, from now on I release you. And look in to 2012 and say to your self, yes from now on I will own it all my self, from now on I decide how I feel and react, it's all mine, thank you thank you for showing me this gift. Thank you I love you.

Just Nu behöver du ingen karta

2011-12-11T07:44:00.000+01:00

"Just Nu behöver du ingen karta, du är inte på väg någonstans och det finns ingenstans att ta vägen, du är just nu på den enda sanna platsen, här och Nu”

Sanningen är den att du inget behöver i just denna stund, fast där med inte sagt att en karta inte underlättar. Vi börjar med det mest elementära, allt handlar om dig. Inget har någonsin att göra med någon annan runt om kring dig. Du själv är svaret på alla dina problem likväl som att du är orsaken till dem samma. Allt handlar om dig. Många vill inte kännas vid detta faktum då detta medför ett totalt ansvar, ansvar är ett problem i ett samhälle där vi önskar att för göra vad som helst och samtidigt ha total ansvarsfrihet.

När vi tillåter oss själva att släppa allt försvar, att känna att vi inte längre behöver försvara någon ting så infinner sig en befrielse, något stort faller från våra axlar utan att vi gjort något. Egots behov av att försvara och argumentera titt som tätt tillför inget mer än ytterligare manifesering av ett drama. Alla draman är orienterade i linjär-tid. Det är omöjlig att uppleva ett problem då du är helt och hållet närvarande i denna stund. 100% av de problem dy upplever, smärta, ångest, åtrå, längtan, ilska och så vidare är alltid förankrade i linjär-tid. Med detta menar jag att problemet behöver en linjär tidsaxel för att existera, problemet står i relation till tiden. På grund av något som hänt eller som du tror/vet skall hända.

I denna stund då du läser dessa rader så vet jag att du inte har något problem som måste lösas.

”i Nuet finns en total frid”

Du kan inte lösa andras problem, de runt omkring dig har sin personliga resa att göra. Föreställ dig att vi alla har valt att komma hit till jorden för att uppleva, för att uppleva något speciellt. Men vi hinner inte mer än anlända så talar man om för oss vad som är rätt och fel, vad man bör och inte bör, vad du borde och inte borde göra. Jisses, inte undra på att det tar lång tid... Men säger du, jag vill ju inte att de skall lida, ha ont, ha dessa bekymmer och besvär. Allt handlar om dig, allt det du ser och upplever är du, alla dina reaktioner är dina och du har givit dem tillåtelse att manifesteras. Inget sker med dig, i dig utan att du först givit tillåtelse. Jag hör hur du protesterar och nekar. Det gör inget, så är det i alla fall, allt är ditt, allt. Se det underbara i detta faktum i stället om allt är ditt så är du ju även den som äger den totala möjligheten att sätta stopp för allt ditt lidande här och nu, en gång för alla. Frågan är bara om du är redo för det, är du redo för stillheten, är du reda att uppleva närvaro här och nu, att inte längre vara på väg någonstans. Att bli iaktagaren som inte längre behöver värdera det hon ser, iaktagaren som inte längre behöver etiketter. Den som iaktar har inga behov av att förändra det hon ser hon bara iaktar.

Den som iaktar, den som ser, den som är. Din sanna natur är den som är men under lång tid har du ”lärt” dig av dina sinnen att identifiera dig med det du upplever. Du använder uttryck som jag är arg, jag är ledsen och så vidare. Du kan aldrig vara ilska eller sorg men du kan däremot uppleva dessa känslor. Alla är de delar av livet. Lidande är däremot ett eget val, lidandet är ett förhållningssätt som kräver sitt offer och ett offer kräver någon eller något som är orsak till lidandet. Offret och orsaken sam-existerar med någon eller något som kan rädda den lidande från den rådande situationen. Men hur var det vi sa allt var vårt eget, allt var ditt, alltså är allt det där med lidande och att det som händer är ”någons” ingen annat än en uppmålad illusion av våra sinnen, sinnen styrda av vårt manipulerande ego.

Egot, egot agerar hos den ännu inte vakna som en dock-mästare som drar i trådar för att hålla cirkusen igång. Varje tråd sätter igång en rörelse och varje rörelse kräver en mot rörelse.

”våra sinnen är givna till oss, vi är inte givna till vårt sinne” Osho

Att beröras eller ej....

2011-11-22T11:24:00.002+01:00

"Att beröras är inte det samma som att sätta etiketter och värdera. Hjärtat berörs medan sinnet värderar. Smärta är en del av livet, lidande är däremot helt frivilligt"

‎"Allt är alltid precis så som det är tänkt att vara" Då du befinner dig i ditt hjärta i detta Nu så är allt ok, detta innebär dock inte att du inte känner smärta. Allt lidande, all ångest, all oro är ankrad i linjär tid medan det enda du har är just denna stund. Allt är som det ska annars hade det inte hänt, vad vi får göra är att i våra hjärtan uppleva (inte värdera) vart detta landar i oss. Så fort vi ser ett behov utanför oss, upplever att något behöver helas eller hjälpas så speglar det något i oss som behöver uppmärksamhet och helande.

"It´s all about our self" Livet handlar om perception, lever jag i en fientlig värld med naturförstörelse och krig eller i en vacker värld där jordens alla innevånare just nu vaknar till ett enat medvetande i kärlek. Varje stund får jag fråga mig hur håller jag världen i mitt hjärta.

Det finns ingen avsikt, inga måsten, bara ett varande...

Sharing some thoughts with you that has been shared with me by spirit in sacred space

2011-11-15T16:08:00.002+01:00

"Let that what is You be embraced in the moment between the moments"

"to wait is one of the biggest illusions, there´s nothing to wait for"

"the only thing we need to do is to be"

”You are that emptiness, your mind says you are not”

"Let your self enjoy in the now and do not engage in a certain outcome. When staying present in the now the universe will serve you moment by moment by offering bigger things than you could imagine the moment before"

”To think the opposite. -it is the parents who decide that it is time to get pregnant and have children, instead it is the child who decides that now is the time to be with parents. What if it is so that you as parents do not control this at all... just a taught..”

”It is hard not to have fun, life is simply good, life is God”

"With the awakening comes a total freedom. Together with this total freedom comes a total responsability"

”There will come a day when you discover that you are at the masquerade, and that it is time to return the suit.”

"unconditional love comes with unconditional joy and it's all yours in this Now"

"Right now, you need no map, you're not going anywhere and there is actually no place to go to, you are right now on the only true place that is, right here and right now"

"the Now is total peace"

”There is only one thing you need to do right now, that's one single breath, no more, enjoy it like a first time experience”

"there's nothing to gain, nothing to wait for, you allready are that what is"

"There will come a day when you discover that you are at the masquerade, and that it is time to return the suit"

”Every single problem or pain is always rellated to linear time, so why not step in to circular time instead and from there ambrace the linear time”

”Every singel opinon and every tiny thought about you is pointing...
...to my self. All of my opinions and all of my thoughts are shadows from deep within my self, longing to be seen, thank You for being the one mirroring me. You are another me, I´m another You. What we se in other people are things we dont want to or don´t let us se in our self. So what is there that I don´t want to se inside my self today, or what am I not letting my selft do today?”

By Thomas

Every singel opinon and every tiny thought about you is pointing...

2011-11-14T11:29:00.001+01:00

...to my self. All of my opinions and all of my thoughts are shadows from deep within my self, longing to be seen, thank You for being the one mirroring me. You are another me, I´m another You.

What we se in other people are things we dont want to or don´t let us se in our self. So what is there that I don´t want to se inside my self today, or what am I not letting my selft do today?

How about you?

Embracing everything is not the same as becoming it

2011-11-05T13:51:00.000+01:00

Embracing everything is not the same as becoming it. It´s a complet difference going for something rather than away from something.Everything you hate, dont like or are "against" is you, everything is you. Let's revisit Mother Teresa's quote, "on the day I discovered I had a Hitler inside me.'' This is a profound understanding of the Golden Theme, to be able to see the monster in oneself. In order to be good storytellers, we must recognize that monsters are nothing but the worst versions of ourselves.

At this moment I´m vaiting for the moment when all peolpe knows that everything is about our self.

I have like Mother Theresa said a Hitler living inside me but also a Buddha. Life is about awaken your love to find out that you have the potential to embrace everything. You can hold everything no matther of what. You are the one chosing how you are holding the world in your heart.

No Problems

2011-11-02T07:47:00.003+01:00

Do you have a problem right Now? No, I bet your problem is related to linear time, meaning you don't have any problems right Now. Today, be present in this very moment and experience a day without ANY problems. Welcome to life ♥

just an illusion

2011-10-29T07:52:00.002+02:00

It's just an illusion, get a bigger perspective and dream the biggest most beautiful dream you can imagine, don't get stocked in the mind. It's totally up to You, you are the one choosing how You are holding the world in your heart. I chose grace, joy, love, bliss and abundance all around for everyone, how about you? How do you chose to perceive the world around you, wish is mirroring nothing else but the world inside you. Love you! ♥♥♥

The time to unplug your self is Now!

2011-10-25T09:05:00.001+02:00

October 28 is the end of Maya Calendar, unplug your self together with the collective. Say yes to the opportunity to meet with that wish is you. Now is the time for re- remembering.

Remember Rosa Parks and what one single woman manage to start, YOU are that spark!

Better or worse?

2011-10-20T09:48:00.043+02:00

"If you can't se God in all you can't se God at all"
-Osho

When seeing God in all you find that you are walking in peace and you become peace your self.

This morning I received the question
-"isn't it so that we in fact can mirror the divine in every person?" -"of course you can!" was my answer. God is everywhere and in everything. You can mirror the divine in every one and every situation.

It's possible to mirror the divine in war, disaster and poverty as well. When we see something else but the divine and being triggered/kicked by it we have a pice of personal work that needs to be done.

Remember we are still gifted with the ability and possibility to chose. Personally I chose the brightest mirror I can find and with the smallest disturbance, the mirror with less labels and concepts, a mirror that shows a short clean way to unconditional love without must do and don´t dos, without labels and concepts on the way. Life is much easier with a clean mirror. What about You?

Breast milk, cow milk and humans

2011-10-17T14:20:00.002+02:00

The best food that can be given to a new born is breast milk from the mother.
If that´s not possible for any reason then the option is infant formula made from cow milk.

When does it become more ”natural” to drink and eat milk and milk products from animals rather then from a woman?

It would be more normal and for sure better for us to buy milk from human instead of animals.
Why is it considered to be disgusting after a certain age to drink human milk.

The human milk is still adapted for humans but that´s NOT milk from cows and goats..

Humans are strange, we eat what ever and when something is strange with what we eat we don´t want to know about is. Add to this the farming of animals........

No milk thank you!

Stick to veggies and water

October 28, 2011

2011-10-17T10:03:00.000+02:00

I can´t imagine any better day for this than October 28, 2011. I´m in, how about You?

Let´s thake the occupation one steep further!

October 28 is the end of Maya Calendar according to Carl Johan Callemen

Låt oss drömma en vacker dröm tillsammans

2011-10-13T09:37:00.000+02:00

Låt oss tillsammans från våra hjärtan drömma den värld vi vill se i morgon, den värld vill att våra barn skall växa upp i. Låt oss inte begränsas av rädslor och "hur" utan låt oss mötas hjärta till hjärta och lägga all energi på "vad". På lördag har vi möjlighet att delta i en historisk händelse, låt oss för den skull inte fastna i vår historia. Fråga ditt hjärta och dröm den största och vackraste drömmen för vår underbara planet med alla dess invånare.

From Woodstock to Tripoli, from Tripoli to Wall Street and Wall Street to Sundsvall

2011-10-12T12:36:00.000+02:00

"When the moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars.
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius"

What's happening Now in the world was what the people at Woodstock had a glimpse of, this is the time of unity and oneness the time of getting together as one. This is the time when the biggest ilusion of man kind will dissolve. There´s nothing like you and me it´s just us, you are another I and I´m another you.

So much looking forward to this Saturday, a day of celebration, a day of collective dreaming. When we start dreaming our world together instead letting some one else dreaming it for us.

Let´s meet at the street!

Ceremony for re-remembering

2011-10-08T14:30:00.000+02:00

My wife and I just had a fantastic ceremony for/with our son Neo at our local "house" mountain. So profound yet so simple. Now he has been introduced and presented to the 6 directions. Blessed by the 4 winds, heaven and earth. Everything with the invocation and intention of a continuously re-remembering of oneness and why he chosed to come here.

Vi är alla delaktiga

2011-10-08T10:49:00.002+02:00

Den dag då vi upptäckt att separation mellan individer, djur och växter är en illusion upptäcker vi också att det inte längre finns några offer, inga förövare, och inga hjältar. Allt är du. Med andra ord är vi alla delaktiga i att det förs krig, att människor svälter eller att någon blir mobbad och utsatt, även den som blir blir "utsatta". Allt dansar tillsammans i harmoni eller dis-harmoni. Vi är alltid utan undantag delaktiga i det som händer oss och omkring oss och i världen, utan undantag. Hur kan Du medvetet välja att dansa i harmoni i dag?

Communication and everyday grace

2011-10-02T16:42:00.001+02:00

My first thought for this note was failing, but there is nothing and there will never be anything called "failing" thats just a concept of the mind.

Instead I say I´m happy for the everyday grace in such a small thing as facebook. Imagine the opposite, the illusion that we will never have the possibility to change anything, once a choice is made there´s no longer possible to change. So many illusions and so much grace in every moment. I´m greatful for the fact that everything is always perfect.

So what I´m I trying to say? What I´m saying is that it´s obviously quite difficult to communicate in the same way without facebook. (that was a big illusion!) I do miss the interaction with all my friends. Glad I said that "I can be back at Facebook tomorrow". Why wait untill tomorrow?

-"But...nothing has changed with facebook..?" some one says
-"no..."

My greed is more important than your need

2011-10-01T07:43:00.001+02:00

Reading the paper this morning. In a the article we are told that almost every 6th person in USA lives in povertry. How is that possible? A country with the biggest war machinery in the world, the biggest meat consumption, the richest people, how is that possible?

USA is a country living in the shadow world, powered by the old "american dream" where everyone has the right to be rich no matter of what. This dream how ever does not dance well with the awareness of oneness and unity that is infusing every human beeing in one way or another at this very moment.

So what we se in the world, in USA and also in EU is a collaps that we cant run from, rather we have to embrace it. Everything that does not support this new awareness will fall in different ways.

So keep cultivating your awareness and tone in to this energy on oneness and what happens with the world economy will never "harm" you.
