The Awakening

Through thinking we are filling our minds. We are thinking that there has to be some salvation out there...that there is something which can free us of this endless cycle of suffering. Just realizing that there is nothing which frees us of our madness is enough to let the light shine through. Words have been spoken, deeds have been undertaken, religions have been manifested, but nothing ever will lead to anything. It's just an illusion.

Together we have made the world a better place. Together we have made the world a living hell. Together we are strong. Together we are weak. The problem is that there can't be a WE in a world that is created by a ME. In every action we undertake, there is a sense of self, a sense of getting the best out of it for ourselves. This egoic mind pattern is everywhere. It can be in a child or it can be in an old man. It can be in a murderer or it can be in a holy man. It's just the form which differs.

For you this may sound disturbing and irritating, but if you go deep enough, you will see that there is some truth. Living in a state of emptiness and bliss is a very rare event. Many people are seeking it, but few ever will find it. It's because they are looking for some-thing. There can't be anything of value in the world of things. Things or forms are fleeting. They don't last for long. Every thing in this world has it's beginning and it's ending. To look for peace in things therefore is like looking for air in space. You won't find it. You'll only find despair and suffering. Don't believe me, experience it for yourself.

So if there is nothing which can give me peace and happiness, what should I do? That's easy: Just be! This is the profound truth every enlightened being has tried to teach us: There is nothing in this world you can have, because you already have everything. All the feelings of despair, worrying, suffering and so on are coming from inside you. Though the knowing of this won't give you anything, the realization of it will give you everything.

The only yet simple way of turning into the State of Being is the Now. To becoming present of this moment, just focus your awareness towards your breathing. You don't need to close your eyes or to sit in a cross-legged position to do this. Just be aware of your breath. Try to not control it. Let it happen for itself. You then may come to the realization that "you" are in fact not doing anything at all, that you are in control of nothing. You just observe it. With this observing comes a deep peace. This deep peace leads you to the eternal Truth, to the end of suffering.

Namaste,

"Do you feel it?" is probably the most accurate question to ask, when you want to know if someone is an empath. The english word empathy is derived from the Ancient Greek word ἐμπάθεια (empatheia, meaning "physical affection or passion"). An empath is generally described as a person, who feels into the other person. In this post I want to give you a picture of what everyone is capable of. An empath is no 'better' human or something like that, he/she is only more aware of what happens around him/her. We all have had the strange experience of knowing or feeling that something isn't correct. In my opinion it's the heart, which talks to us.

Here are 7 Signs to know that you are an Empath:

1. You feel others feeling: This is probably the most essential attribute of an empath. You can take on the feelings of people around you. Because you're vibrating at a such high frequency, you are very sensitive to the most subtle energies. These energies can emanate from everything, especially from people and electrical devices. You see, we are in reality only energy vibrating at a different frequency. The more you are aware of this fact, the more you are aware of subtle energies around you. You only need to look into someones eyes to tell them their inner emotional state. Many people are afraid of us, because they don't want to be X-rayed. But we don't this to harm anyone, we are here to help humanity and planet earth. Because you are so susceptible to other people's energies, you often times get depressed. Most people don't know it, but they are so full of negative energies that I often times ask myself "How can they stand this pain?". 
2. You are an expert at body language: You love it to watch people. Literally, you can sit in the park observing the people who pass, without getting bored. This is often times very annoying for the watched, but you know you don't do this to judge anyone. You rather do this to lern something new. Since you were a child you always watched life as it passed. Even in the most boring situations, you found a way to entertain yourself. In fact you were most of the time so engaged in observing your environment, that you faded out all the boring stuff. 
3. Being in crowded places overwhelmes you: 
   This is due to your high sensitivity. In a small group it's no problem for you, because there are not so much energies. But in a crowded place with more than 100 people or sometimes more than 1000 people you feel uncomfortable. This amount of different energies is too much for you and you can't help but to leave into a less crowded area. But in the rare cases you enter such huge crowds, you're trying to find a place at the end. This gives you a certain type of safety, so you can leave very easy and fast when you need to. 
4. You are highly intuitive: You have a deep connection to your Higher Self. This gives you insight into the huge collection of wisdom. Most of the time, this wisdom is used as intuition to guide you. When you trust your intuition, it will let you see the world as it is. Often times you don't know from where this knowing is coming from, but you have a deep inner knowing it is true. In the hinduistic belief and many other cultures, the Third Eye is the seat of your intuition. Probably you are not the type of person who likes to plan. It's simple: Your intuition always makes the right decision for you.
5. You can easily tell if someone is lying around you: You are a human lie detector. When you look someone in the eyes and they lie to you, you know it. It's very hard for people not to lie to you, because they also have the feeling of being caught. In my experience the eye color influences the persons ability to lie. Brown eyed people are far more secretive. They don't let anything out and so it's more difficult to tell if they are lying. Blue eyed people, in contrast, are very open. They are like an open book. They don't want and they can't most of the time lie to you. So for an empath it's most of the time easier to look through a blue eyed person than a brown eyed person.  This doesn't mean that people with brown eyes are liars, they are only more mysterious. 
6. You avoid negative media images: Probably many of you didn't follow the presidential election, because you can't withstand all this negativity. It's like that all the lies, the corruption and violence is absorbed by you. This is sometimes very hard for you, because you need a long time to recover. You are more likely a person who likes to read interesting books about the nature of life and to watch uplifting YouTube videos. This positivity brings balance to your life. It enhanches your kundalini energy, your frequency.
   Nowadays, we are unfortunately surrounded by all kind of drama, stress and negative energies. To bear this amount of negativity, you find yourself going inwards to find answers. I recommend you to meditate, if you are having trouble with all this different energies. 
   You also have to realize that the truth often times can be negative. This shouldn't freighten you, it should let you see the world as it is. In the end the truth sets you free.
7. People open up to you: It's like you're a counselor since you were born. Random people are suddenly talking to you about their life and their problems. They often times don't know why they are doing this, but most say it's because they feel comfortable around you. Though you are may be wondering too, you are open and ready to help. In fact you love it to hear the stories of people. It gives you a warm and welcoming feeling. 
   You are emanating love and light outwards and the people feel this. They can't help, but open up to you. They have no control about it. And they don't regret it. You always have an answer for them. 

Namaste.

Namaste,

Namaste,

Today I want to talk about Sufism. It's probably the most spiritual form of the Islamic religion. The purpose of this post is not to convince you that this is the only way to the One or something like that, but to give you another perspective on the Islamic culture.
