Even stupid people can discover things!

That may sound a little bit bold but it is a fact.

Two weeks ago I thought it would be a good idea to spray the bramble bushes with a herbicide. That was the moment in which I found out that the dogs had eaten my protection mask, they chew on anything. That’s where I turned stupid, although I am aware that some people would call me stupid just for having the idea of spraying.

So I decided to spray anyway and stay upwind. Well, that’s another big illusion because the wind always tends to shift the moment you take a deep breath. The next day I was sweating, feeling dizzy as if I had an enormous hangover, my heart was beating like a marching band and I had serious trouble focusing. How stupid can you be?

The next day I woke up with my lungs burning. I could feel them as if I was looking in a human anatomy book. I had to make an effort for every breath and at a certain moment I started to doubt my own optimistic prognosis. Where would this end?
Panic started to roll in like waves on a shore, every next time a little bit stronger. That was when I decide that I really had to see a doctor, make lung x-rays, consult the centre for poisoning, etc.

The most interesting thing was to see how the panic affected my energy level, it went down like a waterfall, leaving me exhausted.
It was funny because I was aware of the panic attacking me, I knew what to do and especially that I had to shut down my mind.
Thinking was like a rollercoaster going around with high speed, screaming and completely irrational. I managed to shut it down by walking very slowly through the hospital corridor looking at every little detail that I could find and stretching my spine while I, also very slowly, inhaled.

I am slowly recovering now and I realized that I learned that I cannot trust labels on bottles. It is considered a biological product that does not harm people or animals…..

Hello, are you awake ?

Losing illusions

All the great thinkers, religions, etc. say that the important thing in life is to understand that it is all illusion. Only our very essence is real. The rest has no importance.
I do agree and I managed to see through some of the most interesting illusions of life.
It makes life in a certain way less painful, less suffering and it forces you to start looking more into interior experiences instead of drinking in all the excitement that comes from outside of us.

But losing illusions is also boring, it is like being the only sober person amidst a group a drunk, they laugh, do crazy things, nothing they say makes sense but who cares?
The next day they have forgotten all the nonsense they lived the night before but the sober person remembers it all.

Losing illusions creates emptiness, a big question mark that lacks the question that should go in front of it. It is a serious problem!
What to do with the emptiness?

Nothing???

Fun on a scoot mobile


I am in Holland at this moment. I am surprised by the number of people driving a state furnished piece of three wheel electrical transport for the disabled: The Scoot Mobile.
These vehicles are meant for physically disabled persons, they give you lots of advantages,you don't have to walk, carry your shopping's, they give you a social status, etc.
Looking at these thing I thought, what a wonderful society, taking care of those that have less options in life.
But then I saw them parking in front of the shops where nobody is allowed to park, they jump off the vehicle and hurry into the shop. Coming back they stuff the thing with shopping's and hop behind the wheel. Off they go.
At first I though, My GOD, this is a victim society. Then looking at their smiling faces I realized they were having lots of fun on a government sponsored device.

Fun on a scoot mobile, isn't it great.
I have seen them end up in ditches, almost drowning, banging into each other, trying to kill the pedestrians. It's a lot of fun and as a bonus you have all the attention from police, ambulances, firemen, etc. What more do you want when you are 65 ???

Spirituality and the body

There is a thing called false or fake spirituality. Jesus already talked about it when he chased the priests out of the temple. They were trying get power and material enrichment by fooling the believers.
But I am talking about those who are only trying to fool themselves.
In that case we are talking about those who want to escape from the physical reality by claiming that enlightenment is the only reality that is worth living. Enlightenment, then, means flying high above the earth while you can still have your vegetarian meal every day, drink your glass of wine and have sex from time to time when the hormones start to boil in the body.Pretending that you are a holy person, looking down on everything that is material.
They are trying to escape from the body while this body in fact is a very solid projection of your spiritual being. True spirituality means including the body.

So, instead of having the body as a point of departure to become a spiritual being, it is the other way around. We are spiritual beings that are trying to incarnate a body, we are trying to experience Life in a body. But what many of us do is running away from the body as fast as we can, or torture it as if the body is a sinful object.
But our body is a result of our spirituality. It's the jewel in the crown and we only have it for a short while to treat it well and enjoy it instead of all the suffering. Suffering makes no sense, it is stupid.
I know that most religions preach suffering but they really do not know what they are talking about, they have no idea what spirituality means, so forget them and listening to your own inner voice. Love your body.

I do not say go and abuse your body in a attempt to enjoy it, no, not at all.
As there is a inner voice, there are also inner laws, real desires instead of those that we use for compensating all our suffering. Spirituality means living in resonance with these inner laws and express them through the body.
Our crown chakra is supposed to be the gateway to spirituality but once again, the body is the jewel in this crown.
