Love

Saw the end of a movie and somehow in the end it’s all about love. And the more I think about it, love is the strangest thing in the world, as it seems to make the most impossible relationships between humans possible, somehow seems to connect everything. Even The Matrix, one of my most favorite movies, I think in the end is about love, something ‘the machines’ don’t even understand.

And who would understand this type of thing called love, even though I believe somehow it’s also a choice, a choice to love someone, no matter what. For quite a while I believed Love is a verb, but still there seems to be more also to it.

So let’s be grateful there is something called like love, dealing with all our failures, mistakes, flaws and whatever we perceive as negative. Let’s celebrate!

Hypocrite

Lately I think quite a lot about how hypocrite I actually am, as I actually run an advertising company and do link building and stuff and yes, am also earning from advertising on the internet and sell links. On the other side I criticize companies, humanity for ‘paying virtually everything’ through advertising.

So yes, I understand it’s not that easy to change the thinking about ‘money’ and ‘earning’, as also I have to live, have to eat and as of the moment I don’t see much other ways than working and indeed, getting some secondary income from advertising and selling links.

And I also still have no idea how my ‘give and receive model‘ would actually work. As people want to distinguish themselves, e.g. through buying different hings, buying a bigger car and a smaller house or the other way around. And it would still be hard to see someone else receive the same amount of money or stuff (or more) and working less than you or me as of course our ‘earning model’ is rooted deeply in society and each of us.

So yes, I realize that there are very good reasons why our society, why our ‘exchange model’ or how you would want to call it, is like it is. And yes, it brought us where we are now, a world that somehow is ‘better’ than it was before.

But I still believe it needs change, indeed something like going back to a very early stage in human development, when there was no ownership of things and no money, just sharing. Or wasn’t it that simple also then?

Yes, yes, yes!

This morning felt like ‘yes, yes, yes’ as I received two e-mails, e-mails indicating that I had reached two people I had been trying to connect to for quite a while right now. And the feeling reminded me of one of the teachings of Abraham Hicks, that you will know when something really arrives, when you are really living your dream or something. And it is a bit strange, as those e-mails were not that important and nothing really happened, nothing really changed. But they gave me this enormous feeling of fulfillment and I actually have no clue why, but somehow the Universe must have answered my prayers or is answering my prayers, makes all those things I and many others started come true.

And tonight another e-mail, with kind of a negative tone like ‘it cannot be done’, but also this e-mail made me very happy as it was a very serious e-mail with a lot of information and it made me feel like someone cared, someone else also wants to make something happen. And this last e-mail reminded me again that you can convert negativity in something positive, that failures and defeat can be stepping stones to success and fulfillment.

So yes, today was a great day. Thank you, Lord!

What the bleep

What the Bleep Do We Know.I still like the movie What the Bleep Do We Know (What the Bleep Do We Know on Wikipedia) very much and I don’t fully get the comment in Wikipedia that the film was criticized for misrepresenting science. I very much like how all kinds of things related to quantum physics and a multiple dimension Universe are being visualized in this movie. And what do scientists know anyhow more than you and me? And know, I don’t want to criticize science here, as science is very useful and interesting. I am even a scientist myself as I have a university degree in Mechanical Engineering, so I know a bit how science works.

So why am I writing about this today? Well, our TV card had ended, so I could not watch TV, so I was looking for some movie to watch and ended with watching What the Bleep Do We Know for no real reason. And it always inspires me, as it tells me that there is more beyond this life,beyond what we, humans, experience. Of course if humans exist anyhow…

And today I was a bit curious about the people behind the movie, the people who make all the statements and such, the people telling the story, giving the (scientific?) background. So let’s make a list first:

And strange, making this list. As it took me quite a while to find and put all the links. And that amazes me more and more, how much time it takes to make something very small, let alone a movie like What the Bleep Do We Know. And yes, it also goes all back to the ideas of Napoleon Hill and Abraham Hicks. Like that you cannot do things alone and that somehow we are part of a system, a system like the cells in our body.

And strange, reading about Ramtha/JZ Knight, another type of success story where I indeed now I doubt her honesty, but a business woman she is. And still, to me she is the greatest person in the movie, how she looks at life. And about the priest possibly or probably being involved in sexual abuse. But still, again, his story in the movie is great.

So yeah, again, life is strange. And no matter what, I would certainly recommend you watch What the Bleep Do We Know, as it gives a very nice view on life.

Worried

CaterpillarTomorrow I am planning to go to a funeral and that got my worried about how to deal with my posts and stuff. And that feels a bit strange, how I am obsessed with not missing one day with posting and such, like if I miss one day that would be the end of the world. And that makes me think how obsessed I am with these kind of things, that I am not so flexible, something people often said about me. And right now I am a bit torn, as everything I have learned about ‘success’ also points to persistence and do what other people don’t. And I have the feeling I am doing all those things, learning all those things, especially ‘plan the work and work the plan’. And discipline of course.

But somehow I have the feeling I am overdoing, that I am doing it in a very strict, inhumane way. And that that way of doing, thinking, may exactly be my problem (in life). That I would need a little more flexibility.

Anyhow, that’s not really what I wanted to write about. What I wanted to write about is about the caterpillar and how that image came in this post, as the caterpillar image is what I started this post with. And it is a good sample of how things come into being, how thoughts work, how events work, how things are connected. As I started today with ‘funeral’, which made me look for a ‘life and death inspirational quote’. And then I found the quote “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.” from Richard Bach. And that made me search for ‘caterpillar’ as I wanted to put an image of a caterpillar.

CaterpillarAnd the results of that search amazed me, as the first results were all related to the Caterpillar brand, the manufacturer of heavy machinery. And then of course the thought came to me how commercialized the internet is, as ‘commerce’ is one of my personal struggles. And then the thought came to me how the two are connected, the animal and the brand, as I’m quite sure the company Caterpillar was named after the animal, especially as their logo is similar to the colors of the animal. So that’s how a human being can start with funeral and end with animals, machinery, the connections between them and logo’s and images.

Amazing, isn’t it?
