Some Teachings of Dreamturtle (2002 website)
What is Dreamturtle offering? Dreamturtle offers support to people to grow towards love and whole Self in harmony with the love and truth in all people and all of Creation.
What is the true Dream of people? The true dream of every human being is to be truly happy and fulfilled. However, this is only possible, if we become love and live in harmony with our heart, whole self, all people and all of Creation.
Can we be truly happy and fulfilled? Of course, we can. But we cannot find it in the outside world, nobody can give it to us or do it for us. The only way is to become who we really are, which is true Self, pure love and in order to become pure love, we have to embrace truth, humility and trust. The more we trust, the more we can love, the more we can love, the more we trust, the more we are love, the more we are happy and fulfilled (we are "full-filled" with love!). We have to be prepared to work through the feelings we carry in our heart such as sadness, doubt, fear, anger, etc., feelings which are showing us that we have remnants of non-love which we can work on to more strongly become love.
Where and how can we find true, unconditional love? The world is full of unconditional love. Most trees, animals, flowers, fruits, rain clouds, mountains, rivers, etc. are pure unconditional love - unless we interfere (e.g. dam a river, force a tree to grow a certain way, etc.), then they too can get hurt. We can find love behind any emotion which is not love as any emotion which is not love, is an emotion which is longing to become love. This is why Jesus was saying to love our enemies, because this is the only way which allows the love in us to grow. In fact, if the "enemy" (which may be a driver on the road who triggers our anger, our partner, the government, etc. etc.) did not come into our life, our emotion which is not love would simply be hidden in us, so the "trigger" really serves a great purpose and offers an opportunity to grow towards love, overcoming what is between us and love (i.e. hurt, sadness, anger, etc.). The amazing thing is that each time we respond to anger, sadness, hurt, disappointment, etc. with love, the love not only grows in us, it also grows in the other person. The teaching of Jesus also makes sense, if we come to understand that the "enemy" who teaches us about love, i.e. non-love, whose action forces us to go within our heart, connect with God in us, in all, maybe become more humble, maybe become more grateful, etc. etc. has chosen to be in the role of "enemy" to help us and no doubt also for him or herself to gain understanding of non-love, so that both the "victim" and "villain" have increased understanding of love and non-love, to be able to more consciously and strongly choose love! Without people playing the part of the villain, we
would simply not know what love and non-love is, so how are we going to
choose? Often "bad" things happen (e.g. redundancy, divorce, We have to be careful when we "want" to "help" others. We can only come from love, when we are love (not hurt, sad, angry, etc.). If we are not pure love, then what we are really doing is attempting to remove what triggers feelings of sadness, hurt, anger in us (e.g. seeing a sad person). While of course we should help other people, at the same time, we should make sure that we are working on ourselves, not just trying to "fix" up other people. That is why Jesus said: "Love thy neighbour as thyself!" Many people say: "I just want him or her to love me". But we expect people to love us who do not love themselves, so what sort of love can they give us? We can only give and receive unconditional love to the extent we have become unconditional love ourselves. Cancer means not loving yourself. Many women with
cancer have been the perfect daughter, perfect mother, perfect wife and
they have given and given love to everybody - but themselves. Our body
(the energy in our cells) has been designed to resonate in harmony with
the harmony (energy) in all of Creation. The catalyst for this energy is
love. When we are hurt, angry, feel unworthy, doubt, fear, etc. we cut
ourselves off from that love and this affects the energy in our cells.
All the woman I have worked with either breast cancer or cancer of the The more we become love, the more we can offer our love to others, to all of Creation and also share this love with other people.
What prevents us from being One with the abundance of
unconditional love in our heart, in the heart of other people, in all of
Creation?
How do we get hurt in our heart? We come from abundance of love. Our spirit is connected with the unlimited, abundance of love. We are born with the dream of connecting growing towards this abundance of unconditional love. However, we then have to experience that the people we are with are not able to be and share this abundant unconditional love with us. Small children do see the abundant love in all living things such as animals, birds, trees, flowers, but they get hurt because their parents, friends, relatives, etc. are not able to do so because in turn they carry hurt in their heart because they also could not experience this abundance of unconditional love with their parents, etc. People also are hurt because they are not being true to their (love) Self. Men in many parts of the world no longer provide for their family in harmony with their heart and true Self, the love in all people and the love in all of Creation (nature, etc.)? This leads to frustration, anger. This frustration, anger leads to other people getting hurt.
How can this hurt in our heart manifest? Virtually all our problems in the world are the result of this original hurt of having separated from the unconditional love in all of Creation and in our Self and from therefore not being true to our Self. The hurt can lead to depression, low self-esteem and self-worth, anger, destruction of the self and others, illnesses such as diabetes (craving something sweet in life, craving love), heart problems (broken heart, disappointment, etc.), kidney problems (cleansing anger, hurt, etc.), cancer, aids, Alzheimer (wanting to forget), drug and alcohol abuse, destruction of the environment (we do not feel the unconditional love in all of creation, in the abundance of unconditional love in a rainforest which is being destroyed or the unconditional love in the heart of people which are being hurt or killed). The underlying cause of all diseases, problems, imbalances in the world is the original hurt resulting from our separation from the unconditional love in all of Creation (= the Garden of Eden) which then manifests in feelings in our heart (helped through "false" interpretation based on fear, hurt, not trusting, etc. of our mind!), which in turn manifest in physical disharmony, reactive emotions, etc.
Why did we choose separation? Why are we really here? I believe we are here because we have chosen to temporarily separate from being One with the Oneness in all (in spirit), i.e. in the words of Genesis we have chosen to eat the apple from the tree of knowledge (giving us knowledge of what is "love", "God", "good", and not). And in order to experience, learn, we had to leave the "Garden of Eden". Why? I believe because we have offered to help grow "love" (good, God, light), i.e. the understanding, learning, the light, love, God in all of Creation and of course in the process we (our soul) also gets the benefit of gaining experience, understanding, love, etc. in ourselves. If we simply are One with light, God, love whatever you want to call it, we do not really grow unless we are fully enlightened, pure love, but then, unless we come to teach, we probably would not be on earth. In order for the love, light, truth, God energy to expand, we need to be challenged to grow in love. We have chosen to have a choice and to embark on this journey on earth, through many, many lifetimes, to gain understanding, knowledge, experiences of what love, God, truth is and what it is not, who we are (being part of love, God, truth) and who we (in truth) are not, so that we can more consciously chose love, grow to be, live, act in love, God, truth through our own choices, rather than simply being part of it.
What can you do when you feel "alone"? Meaning of "alone" The old meaning of "alone" is "all-One", Thus when we are afraid of being "alone", really we are afraid to embrace the unknown of plunging into our deepest Self, of feeling how we feel (sad, not worthy, afraid, etc.) and so try to be busy, socialize, etc. so we don't feel how we really feel. However, then we miss a unique opportunity to grow towards love. Being "alone" for some time can be an extremely important process for us to embrace truth, really feel how we feel and then work through the emotions, tracing them back to their origin, the true root of the feeling and through compassion and love work sadness, disappointments, hurt, etc. to love. Being "alone" can be a very valuable tool for us to grow towards becoming "all-One" so that then we can share our Oneness (love) and true (not conditioned) Self with other people we love, with nature, etc.
First, we all have spirit guides, but that is a different topic. We can always call upon spirit, teachers in spirit, guardians, etc. to help us. But often, we make it hard for God to help us, because we do everything to control our life (until things go wrong, then we give up control for some time, ask for help, become a bit more humble..). The entire Universe is waiting for us to connect to love! Do this: Go outside of your house, your apartment, your office, go and consciously connect with the trees, the flowers, the grasses, the birds, the sun, the clouds, the air, the water and tell them (in your heart or aloud) that you love them, that you are sorry that all this time, you have not noticed them really, thank them that all this time they have waited patiently, with pure unconditional love, for you. Feel the love embrace you, feel your love embrace the love of the being which is part of God, just like you, being there for you with unconditional love. Then feeling your love, feel the people around you, feel them! Feel that behind their mask, behind their anger, behind their strong appearance, behind their impoliteness, they are really insecure, they feel alone, they are afraid and virtually all of them are longing for love. So start to share your love with people, unconditionally, share your love with all living things, choose to act with love and you have made a step towards becoming "all-One".
Can we talk to a tree, bird, ocean, etc.? Of course. Every child can - until we tell them they are "silly" and we condition them away from their magical world. We can as well, through reaching the same
"state" (=being) of pure being, pure love, non-judgment. As
the tree or bird, we can communicate from our whole being to the whole
being of the tree (as indigenous people have done for tens of thousands
of years, both telepathically between people and with the rest
How do you hear the tree, bird, ocean, etc.? We can perceive the tree in different ways. The energy / vibration (with unconditional love) is received in front of your body in a joint effort of your heart, your body and your third eye. Your mind then becomes aware of the information. It can be in form of sound, visual or simply "feeling" (inner knowing). We all have this gift (and many more!), but for some it comes naturally, others have difficulty letting go of their mind. Actually, it is mainly a matter of letting go, without expectation, and simply be open to connect.
Do you keep your eyes closed? I am sure there are different ways. I personally keep my eyes open, but do not focus (with my eyes) e.g. on the tree (so the tree is out of focus), i.e. I do not look through my mind. Children naturally see auras, energies this way ("being seeing") until we tell them that what they see is not real. Also dogs and cats are very perceptive for energies. But of course we are much more "developed".....Jesus said, "Children will enter the kingdom of heaven first....."
Are the rain, wind, animals listening? Yes, they are, we just have to ask from all our heart, with respect and humility. As long as it comes from love, from our true Self (which is connected with the true Self of all) and provided it is for the highest good of all, so far, what I have asked for (with humility, respect, love) has always been offered (by the rain, wind, animals). It is important we realize we cannot "do", "make" it, in the contrary, we are simply asking, being humble, being equal, being love, being part of all, as is the tree, bird, wind, etc. Also, don't expect the tree to give you a 2-hour lecture on how your social behaviour should be. J The truth will be very simple, so simple that you may reject it, even though you know it is true.
Have you always known this was possible? Well, I guess my heart has and so has my spirit and soul. But my mind and body certainly had to experience real situations to believe this was possible. With every experience, I have opened a bit more, learned to trust more, to let it happen a bit more. It is about simply being there with love, humility, respect and to be open to receive, letting go of expectation, doubt, fear, wanting, doing....
I have experienced many beautiful examples, but I do not feel I should talk about them as we all have to walk our own journey. Jesus said, "let not your right hand know what your left hand is doing". People have to experience this themselves, to truly "believe" and this is part of what we have come to learn, grow towards. We cannot really believe of course without trusting and real trust only grows based on our own, real experiences. All I can say is that I believe there is virtually no limit (only the one set by our mind!), as long as we allow it, as long as it comes from love, as long as it comes from humility, from being One with all of Creation (not with words, with being, living!) and as long as it is for the highest good of all. I have had many experiences which we would call miracles and they have definitely helped me to trust more, and more and more which in turn has allowed me to be more open for such miracles to happen. Of course we should not do use this to impress others and it can never be a selfish act. While a selfish request may still be fulfilled, it will never bring us true happiness, joy, but only the illusion of what we think it will give us. Also, we should not forget that "helping" others can be very selfish as we really dis-empower the other person as we basically say, "you can't do it yourself", what we should rather do, is to help the person to help him or herself and to take responsibility for her situation, emotions, illness, etc. and then to help the person heal the situation through growing towards true Self and love.
How to become "all-One" in love? Through not judging anything on the outside of us and instead work on ourselves. Every time we judge we are removed from love, which is why Jesus said: "Do not judge or you will be judged". Every time we feel an emotion (either by just feeling the emotion) or an emotion is being "triggered" (because we are not prepared to look at it and have buried the emotion in our heart, or mask it, or get busy, so we don't feel it, etc.), rather than judge the trigger (i.e. the person who triggers the anger which is already in us), we make a real effort, to trace our feeling, our emotional reaction to where it really comes from. I talk of going through emotional curtains, e.g. something triggers an emotion, lets say anger in me, so then I visualize a "curtain" of anger, walk through it, so that the anger (curtain) is behind us, then we check, how do I feel. I feel sad, I feel let down, etc. Who comes to mind (the person who has triggered the anger), so I step through the curtain of this person (the curtain of this person is behind me), how do I feel. I still feel sad, who comes to mind, my ex-partner, so again, I walk through the curtain of the partner, how do I feel, I feel alone, sad. Who comes to mind? My father. How does he feel? He feels sad and alone. Why? Because he himself is longing for love and has not fully grown to love himself unconditionally, to feel worthy, to feel love. He feels he has not really been true to himself, to his dream of his heart to become pure love, true Self. We realize he is longing for love just as much as you are longing for love. Go, and give him a hug (visualize first only, maybe do it several times, then when you feel strongly founded in love, you maybe call him or even visit him, but do not expect for him to be able to completely open to your and his love, you are in the first instance being pure love so that you become free), tell him you love him, tell him that you have missed him. And so your unconditional being in love and your understanding that he did the best he could and that he too was longing for love, longing to be loved, by you, by his parents, by his wife, and above all, by himself, this acting with unconditional love and this understanding will set you free and you have grown in one area of yourself from non-love to love. That's why Jesus said: "Love thy enemy" and "Love thy neighbour as thyself". Only our action in unconditional love and understanding of the truth can truly set us free to be love, happy, our true (free, love) Self. I firmly believe that our soul chooses situations,
encounters, experiences which offer the opportunity to work through what
is not love in ourselves, for the non-love to be triggered in us. We
have a choice of course what we do then, how committed we are to work on
ourselves, work through our own emotions - we have to eventually, as
this is the only way to become real, true love, real, true Self (and
this is what we are here to do, if not in this lifetime, then we have to
come back, and again and again, probably face much more difficult
situations, until we let go of our ego, surrender to God, become humble,
ask for help, pray and then start to walk the journey of healing,
self-discovery, of working towards becoming true, We can pretend, we can fool ourselves through our mind, through avoiding difficult situations, avoiding people "we don't like" (because really they trigger emotions we are not prepared to work through), being "busy" with "important" things, maybe even wanting to be an "important" person and wanting to "help" people by choosing professions such as medical doctor, dentist, psychiatrist, teachers, and while this is good, are we prepared to work through our own issues?? And isn't this the real reason why we have subconsciously chosen this profession, to "study" the sick, the person with mental illness (hurt, anger, split personality because of traumatic experiences, etc.), giving "love" to children (teaching), etc. Of course, there also the fortunate people who choose a profession, because they really love to be a teacher, doctor, etc. and the work fills their soul and heart with love, but unfortunately, these are few. After all, doctors and dentists have some of the highest suicide rates of all professions..... Stress does not exist, when we are One with our true Self and love in our work! Virtually all healers are wounded healers when they start their journey and we can help others based on our experience, understanding and knowledge, the truth is that our involvement in healing primarily is there for us to heal ourselves and only when we become love, can we offer help from love and help others grow towards love. But we are not to judge, all is part of God and all is good, as every experience (even when we do not act with love), is as has been chosen by our souls for the opportunity of utmost learning, growing, etc. on our journey to love and true Self. In the U.S. "motivators" seem to be a growth industry. However, "motivating" yourself to live an untrue life or a conditioned life, or a life with is intended to primarily safeguard you from things you fear (like being ill, being poor, being unsuccessful, etc.) surely does not help you to be truly happy and filled with love. Motivating the mind can help you to stay happy and love when you are truly happy and love, otherwise, it is likely to cover up the truth, and help to create an artificial "happiness" based on outer, conditioned achievements, but it only makes you truly happy and fulfilled if it is in harmony with your true Self and comes from love. I sometimes say that it is like being in a car, driving towards a big cliff and then asking a motivator to help you drive faster, with more confidence, smiling, being in control, cheering to the crowd, being on top.....We should always ask ourselves, why do we want to do something. The aspiration of many people is to become famous, wealthy, successful, a model, movie star, etc. How many wealthy people, movie stars, models are truly happy and filled with love? How come when a beautiful movie star or model turns older, they often completely collapse. How come many famous music stars, actors, models have drug and alcohol problems, eating disorders, relationships are glamorous, but in many cases they are short lived. Please, I certainly do not judge here, people in all professions, on all social levels have problems, but I just try to highlight that not all which sparkles is pure gold. We should not really compare, but simply do our best to be true to our Self, to what feels wonderful in our heart, to love. When we follow our passion, when we follow love, when we are true to our Self, then of course we will do well, in whatever form that may be. Maybe we chose quality values rather than quantity values. Maybe our work allows us to spend time with our children, in nature, etc. After all, many people who are driving themselves to achieve financial independence with jobs they don't really love, want to do so in order to have time to be in nature, time to relax, etc.! True happiness and love can only be in ourselves, and can never be dependent on anything on the outside world. This is why Jesus said: "When you disrobe without being ashamed (i.e. being your true Self, taking off your mask and artificial Self, taking off your dependency on "outer things") and take up your garment and place them under your feet like little children and tread on them, then (will you see) the Son of the Living One (in your Self and in all people) and you will not be afraid". Jesus also said: "If you do not fast as regards to the world, you will not find the kingdom"! (Gospel of St. Thomas). When we come from love, we do not have to control, because we trust and when we know that the more we are love, the more we become One with true abundance in harmony with love, with our true self, with our heart and soul. We become "all-One" when all we are is love. Is this possible? Yes, it is. Then we become what we have come to be, walking the journey through non-love and love to choosing, being love.
Through becoming who we really are, being pure love. Through being in the physical, having a choice, as being in spirit. That is why Jesus said: "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside and the above like the below.....you will enter the Kingdom"(Gospel of St. Thomas). Then we become One with the Garden of Eden in ourselves and we become One with the "Garden of Eden" everywhere.
Do you believe we can attract anything into our life we want? Yes, I do, but we have to be careful whether what we
want to attract comes from our ego or from love (heart). When it comes
from the mind (without love), such as the longing for success, beauty,
longevity, health, money, etc. then we may well get what we want, but it
will not give us true happiness So it is very important that we always question our "wanting", is it because we would feel more worthy (so we don't really feel worthy) if we were more successful, more wealthy, more beautiful, etc. Even if we "get it", it will still not really make us feel worthy, because we do not feel worthy in ourselves! We can try to "master", "control" the situation through our mind, which of course never really works, but often we only find out when it is "too late" (it is never "too late", as we can always learn), i.e. when we have cancer, get divorced, lose our job, lose money, fame, beauty, etc. and then come back to our true (inside) Self. Basically, we should always follow love. Do something because you love doing it, not because you feel you have to or should. Someone said: "The best way to avoid your true responsibility, is to say "I have responsibilities"! In the U.S. so many people feel they have to exercise, they buy cosmetics, they go on a diet, so obviously they do not love themselves as they are. Rather than correct the outside through trying to control the outside, masking or artificially changing ourselves on the outside, we should try to look at why e.g. we are craving food, why we are overweight (why we do not feel worthy - which leads to us eating, wanting to have more "weight", which then of course further reduces our low self-worth, etc.). When you truly love yourself, your love your body, then automatically you will choose food which is good for you, you will become more aware of your cravings (old patterns), you know your "comfort" foods, etc. and are much more connected with how you feel, how it feels to eat something, to feel when you need to drink some water, when you should not drink more coffee, etc. and you will naturally come to your normal body shape and weight. Of course, this may not work when you are extremely overweight and then you may have to get professional help, but irrespective of the treatment, look what is really behind your "cravings", your gaining "weight", etc. Only when you work what is behind (the curtains), can you become truly happy, full of love which is the basis for health, balance, harmony. Let your inner beauty create your outer beauty. Let your inner well-being lead to physical well-being. Any diet with outside help is trying to get rid of the manifestation (overweight), rather than heal and grow towards love of feelings which lead to us becoming overweight. The same for smoking. Smoking means to build a screen of smoke....so we hide from life, from our father, from taking responsibility, because we are afraid, we do not feel worthy, we are afraid to be true to ourselves, etc. Nobody really loves smoking packets of cigarettes. So, again, we should see, feel why we really smoke, how we feel when we "need" to eat chocolate, or a pizza, alcohol or when we must have a cigarette and then work through these feelings through our commitment to love and through understanding of the "other", rather than ignore the feelings and try to control the manifestation of the feelings, i.e. "cut out" smoking, or hide chocolate or alcohol, which of course doesn't really work in the long run. Of course, life is a journey....
Does that mean you don't exercise, crave food or use cosmetics? Well, I don't feel I have to exercise. Rather, I try to listen to my body, to my Self and when e.g. I have been working inside a lot and I feel I have too much energy trapped inside, then I go for a run. I don't plan the run, I simply run and try to feel how I feel. I love to run "effortless", a beautiful feeling. Sometimes I visualize being an eagle, gliding along, I feel the earth beneath me, I inhale the air, I feel the warmth of the sun, I hear the birds, I smell the grass, I feel the energy flowing through me, from the universe, streaming through me into the earth, filling me with beautiful, warm love, energy. So at times, I may run only 2 miles, other times maybe 5 miles, it really doesn't matter. I simply feel what feels great, when I feel I am straining, I slow down a bit, until I have come back to total effortless harmony. I may go running three days in a row, each time because I simply love going on the run and I feel wonderful afterwards. Then I may not go running again for weeks. It also depends on my personal circumstances. I love to be in nature, collect mushrooms in the mountains, chop wood, etc. which of course is some form of physical exercise, but again, a form which I personally love. Whatever you love, do it, but make sure you really love it (and you are not being fooled by your mind, because you are calming your guilty conscious about the chocolate cake you have just eaten......rather, again, try to see how you felt when you were craving chocolate, see what the real source of the feeling is and work towards love and understanding). After "exercising", make sure you feel wonderful, you feel the energy streaming through you and you feel One with your body, Self and all the energy in all. Craving food, yes sometimes, I catch myself with
"old" patterns (e.g. "thinking of cooking pasta....), so
then I become aware of my "pattern", relax and often I drink
one or two glasses of water and feel whether I am still hungry. Often I
was in fact just thirsty! Or something happened which has triggered an
emotional reaction. When a baby is stressed, it automatically wants some
food, ideally milk from the breast of the mother.... our emotional
reaction is still the same for any comfort food. Of course sugar,
something sweet also signifies love. So craving sugar is craving love,
which explains that people with any sort of diabetes are longing for
love. When people say "it runs in the family", then this may
be so, but again it is only the manifestation of the cause which also
runs in the family which is that e.g. the father or mother are hurt
(because their father or mother were hurt, etc.) and for generations,
the family members were longing for others to love them....Not
surprising that many older people have diabetes, indigenous
people, Cosmetics...Well, we should honour, respect and love our body, so we should also nurture our body. Again, I would say, if it comes from love and not fear, and provided it is natural, and your body feels good, then of course this is fine. But if it is "masking", "hiding", replacing or "rebuilding" yourself, then I would recommend you work on what is behind this "need", this not feeling worthy, this fear, etc. and work these emotions to love, to feeling worthy. You will then see that the more love you become, the more beautiful you become, real, inner beauty, which lightens up the people around you and everybody can see, feel the love and happiness and beauty in you!
We are all individuals. The importance is we listen to our whole being including our body and learn to "feel" what is good for us. I myself try to find food which is as much as possible in harmony with the unconditional love in all of creation. Indigenous people have always practiced the "spiritual hunt" in which the animal or fish offers itself to give life to the human being, the human being honours, respects and extends deep gratitude to the animal, fish, bird, etc. for giving life to himself and his people, as well as thanking Mother Earth and the Creator, the love in all. However, we should also have the same respect and ask for permission to harvest plants for food, medicinal purposes, etc.
What about eating meat, coffee, drinking alcohol? What about eating a herb, the fruit of a tree or baby shoots of a vegetable? When we are connected to the unconditional love in all living things, we will realize that there is as much unconditional love (if not more) in a plant than there is in an (caged, not free) animal. However, the more I am becoming love and true Self, the more I do no longer feel that eating an animal is in harmony with my Self. I am not a strict vegetarian, but I only eat meat when it feels good to me, i.e. I feel the meat is of good energy, i.e. the animal has lived in relative freedom and was able to be true to itself and to be "happy". It is very important in terms of food that we simply try to feel how we feel after we have eaten a particular food. Also, we should consciously eat and drink. Also, we should pay attention to what we "crave", when we "crave" and what is really underlying our craving. Craving does not necessarily have to be "pizza", etc., it can be chocolate, coffee, pasta, etc. I am not saying we should never eat chocolate or totally avoid (we should never "avoid"! as this is not really addressing the real, underlying feeling.) alcohol, coffee, etc. But we should do so very consciously, feeling, how we feel. I know that at times to drink half a glass of dark beer for me is fine. I used to really love top quality coffee (one or two cups a day), but then I felt it started to really "change" my state (uplift me artificially, then I would "descend" later), so I kept reducing, to the point that after two sips of coffee, I felt it changed my "being" (state, vibration, energy) and I stopped. I still love the process (I guess I have been Italian in several past incarnations) of making a beautiful soy latte with my own espresso machine and so I am drinking 1 - 2 cups of water decaffeinated coffee (with maybe a fifth of normal coffee added...). But depending on how I feel, I may well go back and drink 1 - 2 cups of coffee, when I feel it does not adversely change me. I find it quite exciting to "feel" what is good for me and what is not good for me. It starts at the shop where we buy our produce (e.g. organic shop) and I often feel (in my hand), whether a plant, etc. feels good to me or not and I try to overcome my own conditioning (i.e. what I know) and simply allow myself to feel, listen. I find that when it is cold, other vegetables feel good to me than when it is hot, etc. Also, when I cook I do so very intuitively. I love cooking, especially with herbs, plants, mushrooms, etc. which I have gathered in the wild. I love spices which of course are healing herbs and I drink virtually liters of herbal teas which I love to "create" every day with herbs, ingredients which to a large degree I have harvested not far from where I live (e.g. a mixture of ginseng, fresh ginger, red clover, barley straw, hawthorn berries, rosehips, liquorice root, fresh or dried thyme, rosemary, sage, some Thyme honey from the nearby hills, etc.). When the fire is on in the kitchen, I leave the pot to simmer all day... I also drink a lot of water, I guess we all know that it is extremely important that we drink about 6 - 8 glasses of water every day. When you drink coffee, black tea and alcohol, you need to drink more water as these drinks are all dehydrating. When we are dehydrated, we are more prone to panic, be nervous, short-tempered, stressed, etc. Even children, often calm down with only 1 or 2 glasses of water.... I also notice more and more how food affects my emotional state and I realize that leafy vegetables, whole grains, juices, water, seeds, nuts, etc. in particular are helping me to preserve a high level of positive energy (love, trust, etc.). I am starting to grow more and more to the diet described in Genesis of eating only the seeds and fruits of plants. What I love about this is also that for seeds, fruits, nuts, etc. we do not have to end the life of the plant which give us life, food. In terms of alcohol, definitely we should not drink when our motivation is "non-love", i.e. as stress relief or to subdue fear, etc. This does definitely not help. However, if we e.g. drink some alcohol to a level which does not affect our emotions and we drink the same in a fully conscious way (as we should eat and drink anything!), savouring every sip and feeling it, it is o.k., but we have to be really honest. We may then realize that we cannot or do not really "savour" as it is simply an old conditioned habit and when we are "honest", we don't really enjoy it. It is not about right or wrong, it is simply about "listening", "feeling" and being honest. And when we act against what truly feels good, then we should look at why we are doing it and try to move what is behind our behaviour from non-love to love. But then, at times, we may just "flag" it, have some wine and not feel bad about it. As long as we don't harm ourselves or anybody else....However, what happens then, is, that things simply stand still. I know this from my own experience. And at times we may just chose to have it that way for an evening or a few hours, until we decide to resume our "work" on our chosen journey to becoming once again One with our true Self and love.
Sometime in the future we will realize that in fact far more important than the pure numbers (rational components) of the food we eat, it how much life energy is in what we eat. Of course it is better to buy food which is organic, free from chemicals, etc. But how much life energy is there in a cultivated salad, compared to a free, wild weed such as chickweed, dandelion, plantain, etc.?? While at present we are not measuring the life energy in a plant, meat, etc., we will see that the same is extremely beneficial for us. Whenever possible, I would chose a wild plant to a cultivated plant and know that the energy carried by the wild plant, being free, love is in harmony with my own love and will in fact increase the love and well-being in myself which then in turn is of benefit to me being with other people, animals, plants, etc. Of course if we have our own garden and we care for the plants with lots of love, this is much better than a cultivated "factory" salad. The more we become love, the more we will feel the "love" (life energy) in what we eat and we will choose plants, fruit, etc. which have (been) grown, harvested, prepared, etc. with love and respect.
More and more I realize that us humans want to acquire knowledge because we simply do not trust. We try to "control" life. If only we realized that all we have to do is stop interfering, interfering with nature, interfering with the perfect harmony of our body by eating or drinking what is not in harmony with our body, by polluting ourselves with feelings which are not love, etc. Yes, we have the potential to control, to find a new remedy for a new dis-ease, to develop a pill for us to live longer, to recreate the human body, etc. but what is the point if we are not truly happy and fulfilled??? When we are truly happy and fulfilled, when we are love, we will live the exact life we are meant to live. Unfortunately, we teach our children all the "knowledge" we feel is so important, forgetting that actually the knowledge does not make ourselves happy and fulfilled. We teach largely out of a position of fear, rather than trust and love. But then we are here to learn about choices....so our wrong choices, will help others make the right choices! However, when we come from feeling, we have to let go (let God), and we don't have to know (knowledge), but rather we "feel" whether it is true or not, we feel what is. The more we become love and truth ourselves, the more we can "feel" love and truth. We then simply know what is true, even if we do not have any literal understanding of the subject. This is why often "elders" can help us, simply by tell us what their heart is saying, how it feels, whether it feels risky, safe, good, etc. We will see that yes, we can re-create virtually everything, but we will find out that we cannot re-create love!!!! That we cannot buy love, sell love, re-create love. And love is what we are all longing for (when we are honest and we do not our own hurt, disappointments of the past, lead to our shutting us off from love, closing us off from feeling, receiving, being love). We can waste our entire life, accumulating "knowledge", only to realize that we still know only a very small fraction of all the knowledge. Again, we come from not being prepared to let go (and let God), so we try to be "in charge" through knowing. When we realize that by becoming our true Self, becoming love and truth, we can more and more feel all the wisdom, truth and that we do not have to be in control to chose our true path, but rather learn to follow our heart, be grounded and centered in our whole Self, we experience a great sense of personal freedom and feeling of being part of the Oneness of all. Spiritual knowledge can be just another way of trying to control life, which is outside of the Oneness in all. Spiritual knowledge can also be another distraction for not feeling our own sadness, hurt, etc. Instead of distracting ourselves (from our sadness, hurt, fear, doubts, etc.), through work, sex, religion, sport, etc. we can also do the same through going from one workshop to the next, from one group meeting to the next, reading hundreds of books, etc. Of course, such workshops, books, sessions may be valuable and perfectly what we need, but at the same time, we should always make sure we are not "running" away from simply feeling how we feel and simply doing our best to take responsibility for our life, our situation, our emotions and to give our best to be, act in love and in truth with our love Self.
How can we practice "feeling"? We can only feel when we are truly in our body, when we are truly "here". For this we need to be grounded. There are of course different techniques or tools we can use, but my favourite way of grounding is to visualize being a beautiful old, wise tree (favourite tree, for example a willow tree for women) and to visualize the roots growing deep into the earth and the earth giving us all we need to live (which it does, even though we change some of the raw materials, in the end, everything we eat, wear, build houses with, travel, etc. comes from Mother Earth). The love rises from the earth and starts to fill our entire body, then expands beyond our body, we are in a cocoon of love and the love continues to expand and flow through us, from the earth through us into the Universe and from the Universe through us into the earth, to and from all people, animals, trees, flowers, ocean, dolphin and whale, mountains, deer and butterfly, etc. and we grounded with the earth and a beautiful Channel of Love. Of course with practice we can ground within a second, but at times we may still chose to do the above visualization. We also need to be centered, which we are when we feel "whole", i.e. the energy surrounding our solar plexus expands and we have like an energy ball surrounding us with golden light. Finally, we need to be in our (love) heart, to be love. I used to practice "feeling" on seemingly trivial things, such as whether a specific letter is in the letterbox, or not. I started to recognize the "feeling" more and more to the point that I knew the letter had arrived in the next city, but had missed the morning mail run and it was always a good feeling when the letter did in fact arrive the next morning... Today, I feel what is important in people, their emotions, their background, their weakness in terms of organs, the reason for their sadness, anger, hurt, sometimes the dream of their heart, etc. - basically anything I need to be told to be able to help the person grow towards love and true Self. We cannot "make" it feel, we have to let go (and let God)...
Fear vs. Love Basically, every action which comes from fear, doubt, not feeling worthy, etc. cannot bring us and others real joy, happiness, love and fulfillment. On the other hand, when we act from love, in harmony with our true Self, our action not only brings ourselves love and happiness, it is also in harmony with the highest good and love of other people, nature and all of Creation.
How can you help people with diabetes, heart problems, immune deficiencies, chronic fatigue syndrome, blood diseases, cancer, Aids, drug and alcohol abuse, etc.? I can help people feel, see, understand what it really is what their dis-ease, illness, emotion, anger, disability, overweight, smoking, alcohol abuse, etc. is trying to communicate to them from their heart and rather than remove the messenger, work on healing the cause and grow towards love and true Self. When we are pure love, harmony, there is no illness, disharmony, there is only love. We are all longing to reconnect and live the dream of our soul and heart to be One with this love. Unfortunately, modern medicine basically comes from fear, because most people involved are hurt themselves so we look to remove the "hurt", rather than understand what the illness or hurt is trying to communicate to us and how we can heal the illness or hurt by helping the person to become love - which incidentally also would help us to grow to love. A wounded healer (or teacher, or policeman, or politician, or parent) will always try to control, eliminate what is not love, rather than with their own love and compassion, help the person grow from what is not love (hurt, sadness, anger, illness) to love. Likewise a preacher who talks about the devil (Jesus says we should not judge!) or evil or judges others, or feels superior being of a certain religion, does not "live the word". As Jesus said " You will recognize my true disciples by their fruit (i.e. the love they carry). Also, Jesus said" Do not judge, or you will be judged". Deciding what is "evil", talking about the devil, distinguishing between e.g. Christians and other religions or indigenous people, certainly is not what Jesus was teaching us to do. Every time we judge, we are not love, we are not true to our (love) Self and we reduce love. When we speak, act, live, are love, we help love to spread. The most important responsibility of everybody working with other people, wanting to help, heal, cure, teach, correct, etc. is to look behind the motivation to do so and to heal what is not love in ourselves. The more we become love and compassion, the better we can then help others to heal, learn, become love, etc. That is why Jesus said: "You see the mote in your brothers eye, but you do not see the beam in your own eye. When you cast the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to cast the mote from your brother's eye" (Gospel of St. Thomas).
What about our fear of aging? Why should we be afraid of aging? Fear only takes us away from being love, being happy, living a healthy life. Clearly we are afraid, when we do not trust. Unfortunately, in our western world, our elders are not valued. We seem to value knowledge more than wisdom, even though knowledge will never make us happy. I personally do not intend to ever retire and wish that I can work until my last breath. I guess a lot of people don't really love what they do, so they want to "re-tire". Our work does not make us "tired" if it is in harmony with our soul and heart, then in fact the more we do our true work, the more energy we get. Of course we can still get physically tired from manual work, but it does not drain us if we love what we do. Australian Aboriginals find it strange why we should celebrate getting older, instead they celebrate when somebody has done something beautiful or wonderful. Many people are very concerned about aging, are afraid of becoming old. You can be very old when you are 25 and you can still have inner youth, joyful energy, passion, excitement and true fulfillment when you are 99 (like George Burns for example). My great-aunt lived to 104 years old and still prepared her own breakfast and dinner in her own small apartment on the top floor of the farm house in Switzerland where 3 generations had been living together. Her husband died at the age of 99, still getting up every morning at 5 am, working in the cow stables, singing, being strong, fit and happy. I believe we have a choice whether we simply start to "tire" at a certain age or not. A lot of older people are very sad, because the life they have lived or are living is not really true to themselves and / or they end up living quite isolated, lonely lives. But it is never too late and we can work on ourselves at any time in our life to grow towards love, harmony and peace. Again, many older people have Alzheimer, diabetes, cancer, heart problems. In each and every case, the dis-ease is giving a very clear message as to how we feel in our heart. Diabetes means longing for love, heart problems, especially amongst men, means "broken heart" (most men have e.g. not, could not provide for their family in harmony with their heart and soul, not been One with love in themselves, in others, in all of Creation, so they get a "broken heart"). Stress is nothing else than having to be, perform in a
way which is not in harmony with our true Self On the other hand, we can choose activities which fill our soul and heart with joy and which also bring happiness to other people, animals, plants, etc. People who pursue such activities, people who are filled with purpose, happiness, humility, gratitude, trust, faith and love often live to a very old age. When we feel good about who we are, about the life we live, because it brings joy and love to ourselves and to others, then we are also more connected with our body, our feelings, we choose the right foods, the right amount of physical activity, etc. Deepak Chopra says that our human body has been built to live 130 years. I do believe this and I hope I can work as long as possible, as long as I can be true Self and love and of help in the world. Why worry about age if you are not happy? Why worry about age if you do not live your true life? Why not rather work on yourself, work to grow towards happiness, love, compassion, humility, gratitude, respect for all, etc. and trust that our soul in harmony with the soul of all will arrange every moment, every encounter, every experience in a perfect way for us to continue to grow towards love and true Self.
Can we truly heal through Psychology? Well, Psychology can of course be helpful for us to "understand" ourselves, our parents, partner, children, etc. Also, we can motivate our mind, we can realistically look at our fears, patterns we have taken over from our parents, conditioning, etc. But in my opinion, there is more.... Lets take the example of forgiveness. We can say a thousand times, e.g. I forgive a certain person and I even believe I have forgiven the person, but how do I really feel? And in most cases, I still feel sad, unworthy, etc. etc. Maybe we are extremely positive and we tell ourselves over and over again, how wonderful, how beautiful, how free from the past we are....then, something unexpected happens, something which our mind, ego considers "bad" and this then triggers what we have tried so skillfully to bury deep in our heart, covered up by mind blankets, positive affirmations, etc. The truth is that there is nothing to forgive others,
as every situation, every experience, every lesson is chosen by our soul
as an opportunity for us to learn, grow towards love and true Self. We
can accept this, or as most of us do, we have to go through many
lifetimes and many experiences, both pleasant and unpleasant, to realize
that this is true. Do we have a choice? Well, our lessons are chosen by our soul, but of course when we incarnate, we do not remember this and while we think we have a choice, much of this actually is attracted by ourselves. However, we do have a choice. We may not have a choice how we react emotionally, as the same often gets "triggered", but definitely have a choice how we react to our emotional reactions! Let's say, a driver cuts me off on the highway. Ideally, when I have done a lot a work on myself, I may be able to remain calm and simply "stay out of it". However, when I still have a considerable amount of unresolved hurt, anger, frustration, etc. in me, then of course this does cause a reaction in me. Then I have the choice to either stay angry with the driver or I become aware that I am reacting to the "trigger" and that the driver does not create my reaction (my anger, and the true cause of my anger), but merely trigger it. I can then chose to work on myself, to find the real cause of my emotional reaction and work the same towards love and true Self. When we properly do this, then our emotional reaction will decrease until we, being fully cantered, grounded and in our heart, we can remain true to our Self. Again, some of the teachers we admire like Jesus, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Francis of Assisi, etc. have lived this despite their challenges. Forgiveness is a big one... Most people still carry remnants of hurt, anger, etc. We may have forgotten (memory), it maybe "under the carpet", but that does not mean it is no longer in our heart, in our cells, in our whole being and eventually this (feeling) will be triggered and "surface" through an emotional reaction, illness, accident, etc. I believe "forgiveness" does not really take place, unless we become love through unconditional action in love and true Self, through compassion and understanding that the past did happen for our highest good, as an opportunity for us to learn, grow, chosen by our soul and we can act with true love towards all people, including the people concerned with our past. This is not easy, as quite naturally, we do expect our parents, family, close friends to love us, but the truth is that they are on their own journey, with their own choices and lessons and all we can do is to be there with love, true Self, compassion and understanding. I have a lot of respect for C.G. Jung, many of his personal passions and mine are the same or similar... But it does strike me that while he had incredible knowledge, he said towards the end of his journey that he felt "alone" and that nobody really understands him. I see, or rather, I feel this same "aloneness" in many amazing (successful, etc.) people such as C.G. Jung, Rudolf Steiner, etc. We can have many solutions for our mind, many ways of analyzing or motivating ourselves, comforting ourselves (mind), but in the end, if we are not fully open to really feel how we feel in our heart and work (heal) those areas, we are still on the journey of becoming One with love and true (whole) Self.
What does "Religion" mean for you? What does it mean for you? In England only about 8 % of the population regularly attend (Christian) church service. I believe "Religion" is supposed to help us be closer (be a bridge), be One with God, to live in harmony with God. Unfortunately, some churches foster "god-fearing" people, speak of the "devil", of "evil". Yet, they also quote Jesus saying that "you shall not judge". Who is to say what is evil, devil and what is not, without judging?? I believe that there has been many remarkable spiritual teachers in all the different religions such as Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, Shiva, the Magis, the Sufis, Simon Magus, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Francis of Assisi etc. etc. and all have advocated and lighted the path of love, compassion, humility, gratitude, generosity, etc. etc. While Christianity used to be based on love, compassion, on being true to Self, etc. advocating that God (good, love) is within all of us as well as in all people, all of Creation and Jesus was a wonderful teacher, the Roman Empire has used their own version of Christianity to rule the many nationalities, religions through fear and power. Millions of people were killed, tortured by the church, representatives of the church in the name of God, millions of healers, women, Gnostic Christians, and many spiritual teachers such as Plato, Socrates, Jesus, Simon Magus, St. Stephens, and many more were persecuted. At the time of Jesus, Priests used to be sent out with 100 white stones from the river Jordan, for "fundraising" to build temples. People were solicited to purchase a stone to gain access to the religious gatherings at the time of Jesus as a "ransom" for the soul so to speak. After the initial purchase of the stone it was encouraged that people would continue to pay money to the "church" (in lieu of animal sacrifices - a change which was welcomed especially by wealthy people in large cities) to "please" God. These "priests" would normally return after four years with a bag of foreign money which was then exchanged by money changers into the Jewish currency. Of course Jesus was strongly condemning the "selling" of oxen and mules, etc. (different stones had different animal heads engraved) and we all know that he overturned the tables of the money changers "in front of the temple".... Some churches still encourage their followers to (purchase a "white stone") show their "commitment" to God through becoming a "partner", by donating money to the church, etc. Does God want us to build large cathedrals, large buildings? Or rather that we give the money to help people (help themselves) be love and to respect and support all living things. Everything is part of God, part of the All, including all the teachers, all the religions. Some of them live and show us how to live love, true Self, humility, generosity, compassion, others show us other aspects of life. Again, we do not really know what love is, unless we have experienced both love and non-love so that we are able to consciously chose love. John clearly says that Love is God and that we recognize the "true disciples" of Jesus by the love they have become One with. So, are we choosing love? I believe that God wants us to love all the people, all the animals, all the plants, the ocean, all of Creation. How can we go to war in the name of "religion", in the name of "God"?? Are we really connected with God, when we do, or are we simply acting from being hurt, from being wounded, from being angry, etc.? I do not believe it is important what words we speak (as long as they come from love!), but whether we live, act, we are love, compassion, respect, humility, etc. In order to be able to love, we have to become love. In order to become love, we have to work through any feelings which are not love and we have to choose love in every situation, every encounter, every experience. We always should look at why we are doing what we are doing and make sure it is in harmony with us "Being Love" and "Being true to our Self". Jesus was very much against rituals of the church, he was against discrimination and elitism and he for example offered to all people the higher initiation with wine (which the church did not offer to people who were impure, i.e. had sex, to people who were blind, crippled, etc.). Jesus said: "The Pharisees and scribes have taken the keys of Knowledge and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to...." (Gospel of St. Thomas). Jesus and many other great teachers have clearly said that God is within all of us, that we have come from the light and are of the light and will go back to the light. Jesus said that "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds". Jesus also said: "Whoever has ears, let him hear. There is light within a man of light, and he (or "it") lights up the whole world." (Gospel of St. Thomas). Please read the quotation by Nelson Mandela about us being "afraid" of our own light....(under "Quotations on this web-site).
What about relationships? All relationships, whether with our Self, others, animals, plants, etc. are offering an opportunity to grow towards love and truth. Be it relationships which challenge our love (or non-love) or give us the opportunity to offer love. Relationships (family, partners, etc.) are the best triggers and learning grounds for us to grow towards becoming true to our Self (or not) and to grow towards love (or not), to become aware of what love is (and what non-love) is so that we can more consciously c h o s e love, grow to being love and true Self. Relationships are excellent sparring partners as we become masters in "triggering" each others emotions (non-love and love). But there are also times, when we use them to avoid fear (being "alone", feeling unworthy, "left", etc.) and I believe it is important that we all spend some time on our own for us to truly become love, whole, true Self. But it does not mean to avoid the "triggers" by living in a cave, ashram or in a hut somewhere in the wilderness. The old meaning of "alone" was "all One"! So we should not be afraid to work to become all One! Ideally, we would all work on ourselves to become One
with love and truth first, then share this Oneness with a partner who
also has worked on him or herself and has become a high level of love
and true Self. We can then share this love and Oneness and help each
other to continue to grow towards love and
What is the difference between sex, making love and union in love? I have to be careful as the word "sex" means just physical sex (separate from true love) while for somebody else, it may in fact mean what I refer to as "making love". As often, words can muddle it up and can be yet another "trigger" for our own hurt, frustrations, etc. to come to our awareness (but of course we may not be aware of this and so we are "angry" at somebody for saying some "words". I always try to remember not to judge the trigger (the other person, the "words"), but rather to ensure I am acting (reacting) being love and true (love) Self. I have come to realize that a pure sexual need, a "I want or must have sex", is in fact what we think will give us something we do not have or give something we have but do not want (aggression, frustration, etc.). Sex cannot fill us with love. We cannot give love and we cannot receive love unless we are love. Sex is often used to try to heal hurt, to "get" love and in an attempt to feel more worthy as a man or woman. However, only love (and making love) will allow us to share, give and receive love with our whole being (heart, mind and body). If our heart is not (being) love, then we will continue to search for "love" on the outside. With sex (mainly coming from body and mind, not from the heart, being love) we may achieved a temporary "peak" (so we think..), or release, but we realize that we cannot find or if we think we have found it, maintain a true feeling of deep love, harmony, fulfillment. While I always believed that in fact making love (i.e. "giving" and receiving love) is the highest form of sharing love with spirit (heart), mind and body with a woman, I have realized more and more, that in fact it may still be combining lower energy with higher energy depending on how much we have grown to become love. The more we become love (pure love, without doubt, fear, unworthiness, and therefore without need, wanting, without controlling, etc.), the more we can grow towards becoming and sharing this high love energy with our partner. The more we grow towards love and true Self, we feel love and we can choose how to share this love, whether we "make love" with our partner we love, or we are love, speaking to an old man, a child, we feel the love in the trees, the ocean, the butterfly, etc. We simply are being love. One more thing for men, or rather two: Tao of Love, a very ancient technique kept secret for hundreds of years for the exclusive benefit of the emperor of China, shows that enormous energy which is normally either used to "create" a baby, and otherwise "lost" (ejaculation), can be retained and heightened in the man, shared with the woman (two love, light circles, become one love, light eight, which becomes one love, light circle) and through union beyond man and woman with the universe (two love circles become one love, light eight, which becomes one love, light circle). Second, in terms of virility, of course there is V.... or whatever else and while the problem may be "fixed" or we believe it is being fixed (mind), the feeling of not being worthy, broken trust, broken love, etc. is still there, deep inside us. We can choose the "fix" solution or we can accept it as another opportunity to work on ourselves and work towards what this is trying to tell us, see where the feeling of not being worthy as a man, not "standing up" as a man, really comes from, take responsibility for the situation (i.e. feeling) and through love, understanding work towards healing, towards growing to Oneness in love. I do not believe there is an age limit for virility of men, only a feeling of not being wholly worthy.
What about partnership amongst men or women? We are here to learn about love, grow towards love and while we may not see the people walking up the mountain on the other side, the fact is that we all are walking up the same mountain to true Self, to being love. As for all of our other choices and actions, we should look at our true motivation, the same applies for same gender partnership (!). Frankly, I can well understand that some women want to be with another woman as a lot of men are not willing to open, to feel and share their true feelings until they get cancer, heart attack, divorce, etc. However, I do believe this is changing and men are becoming more open to look at their emotions, true feelings, true Self. The choice of any partner, whether same gender or not, is influenced by our past experiences of love. As in any relationship, we should ask ourselves, what are we looking for in the other, which we cannot give to ourselves? Does our choice come from feeling wonderful as a man or woman, from being filled with love, or is our choice based on past broken trust, on past disappointments, on past hurt, anger, on our fear of being "alone" (see earlier section), on being afraid to share ourselves again with e.g. a man or woman.
Dreamturtle would like to help people, organizations, governments, tribes, towns, regions, countries, etc. irrespective of race, nationality, religion, to help themselves, to reconnect, to live their true dream and grow towards truth / true self, in harmony with the unconditional love in our heart, the unconditional love in all people and in all of Creation.
What is your most important task? My most important task is the same as everyone's: to work on myself, to give my whole being to being love, to being true to my Self, to being honest to myself, to trust, to be humble, to be grateful, to work towards being One with the love in my Self, in all people and all of Creation.
How can we get Dreamturtle support? Many ways are possible, from individual sessions, group sessions, public talks (e.g. during a concert, at schools, companies, etc.), workshops, in person, via satellite, by telephone, on the radio, TV, etc.
How much time does a personal session / relationship with Dreamturtle involve? This depends on the person and the circumstances. From being there with love in the moment, to being a long-term friend. With individual people, I normally share a 2 - 3 hour session.
I intuitively feel what each person carries in their heart in terms of emotions, feelings, longing, fears, doubts, not feeling worthy, anger, hurt, sadness, etc. I also feel how these feelings have come to us and how they are related to past experiences, relationships, family, etc. I feel the feelings of the mother, father, their mother, etc. Very often we carry feelings, which in fact are the feelings of one or both of our parents, because we are connected to them in love. I also feel weaknesses in organs (liver, heart, etc.), back, neck pain, etc. which all are trying to show us what feelings, emotions we carry, where we are not being in harmony with our true Self, our true path. So in one session, I can help the person to see, feel, understand what the key areas are in us (in our heart), which are currently preventing us to fully be love, to be whole Self. Each one of these feelings (non-love) are opportunities for us to grow more towards love and whole Self. I can help to understand why we are here, what we have chosen to learn, what life situations, experiences (which again we have chosen) have been trying, are trying to help us to grow in understanding, grow towards true Self and love. I then show how to grow towards love and whole Self in all aspects of our life, i.e. in our work, in our family live, partnership, with nature, etc. All of this is covered in one session, which is like a
new beginning, where we bring forth, feel, become aware of what is not
love in us, why we have chosen these experiences, how they are trying to
help us in terms of understanding, learning towards love and true Self.
The session is to help us heal what is not love in us and to fully
commit ourselves to and understand how to grow towards love and true
Self, in harmony and respect with the love (God) in all people, all
living things, in all of Creation. Can any dis-ease, illness be healed? If we can work to love and true Self the area (lesson)
which we have come to learn and where we have chosen the life
situations, experiences, dis-eases, accidents, etc. to offer the
opportunity to learn, grow, then the dis-ease, illness, accident, etc.
does not have to happen!! But are we open to do the work without cancer,
heart attack, accident, etc. trying to prompt us to do the work?
Through facilitating, organizing talks, events, etc. Through offering accommodation, travel support, etc. I would also love to hear from publishers who are
interested in the forthcoming Dreamturtle Books.
