spacerCircle of Good Will - Blog

Synchronizity

April 4th, 2006

I am often astonished how things run parallel in my professional life and in my volunteer work for good-will. It is a spontaneous happening and not anything manipulated – the latter wouldn’t be interesting at all. It seems to be more an expression of the quality of time.
Yesterday there was a turbulent day with a rough road. Often I can observe the winds of time already from the early morning. When there are crossroads showing up in the first 1-2 hours, then it seems to go on like that.
Today starts with quite a different energy. Let’s see how it works out.

Aries – Spring

April 3rd, 2006

Yesterday my wife and I had a walk on a nearby mountain. It was cold and rainy, nevertheless along the ways everywhere there were signs of flowers awakening after this long winter. An enormous energy is felt, still hiding behinds buds and rotten leaves of the old year.
In Aries there is always a fresh energy to be felt, especially in the time of the ascending moon till full moon – a good time to sow seeds and start new initiatives (like this new blog ;- ))

Understanding and Experience

April 3rd, 2006

Yesterday evening, after having just finished the new “Lunar Messenger” for the month of Taurus, about the buddhic plane, and my wife having proof-read it, I asked her:
– “How was it?”
– “Do you want to hear a praise?”
– “No, after all the content isn’t mine.” (It is from the wisdom teachings, and mainly from transcriptions of seminars by Dr. K. Parvathi Kumar)
– “Well, after having read all, I must say that I still don’t really understand what is the Buddhi plane.”
Yes, that’s it, you cannot mentally understand the buddhic plane. It is the supra-mental, as Sri Aurobindo calls it, and so the mental cannot grasp it. We just can open up for the experience.
– “However you can align to you soul, to the master consciousness, and then there is the experience.”

Perspectives and Illusions

April 2nd, 2006

Everyone has his or her own perspective, which is not the total view. Dealing with my wife, our children or at work I am often astonished how different one can view the same thing. In the “Occult Meditations” of K. Parvathi Kumar I just came across the following thought:

“Each one’s life carries another perspective. If one circumscribes oneself and looks to one’s life, one’s pan, one’s pleasures, one’s problems, it gives a totally limited and narrow perspective. If he sees life in general and equates his life with life general, he gets a much better equation of understanding…
For example if a person has an incurable sickness, he may suffer much when he looks only to his suffering. If he observes life in general he would find many like him and sometimes he may even find many in deeper suffering than the suffering he is in. Life as a whole when equated with, man relives himself from the suffering of self-circumscription. He joins general life and moves on in a state of joy instead of moving in suffering.

A few days ago I got from Joyce, an American friend, some photos of incredible chalk drawings from Julian Beever. This artist has to have an extraordinary sense of perspective and proportion to make them appear 3-D. Have a look at his website.
A great way of creating an illusion of a specific perception (through the camera).

Aries Festival – “A Resonance of Great Gratitude”

April 1st, 2006

Friends in California from SouledOut.org have posted on their website a beautiful calendar for Aries Full Moon Festival with a new graphics for each day and thought for “A Resonance of Great Gratitude”. You might like to see it.

Wayside Flowers …

April 1st, 2006

I was on the way buying a new alarm-clock for my wife (the old one expired its life cycle…), just returning to Berne, in my head still the idea for the new blog. I went through a passage with a book shop at the corner, with books outside on a table. For a second my eyes fell on a book about wayside flowers. Hey, that’s it, I thought, that’s just the name for the blog…

Getting started this blog

March 31st, 2006

Yesterday I was on a seminar on Corporate weblogs at Namics in Zurich. First I was quite reserved about all this hype around weblogs (web-diaries), but on the train-ride back to Berne, while reading the hand-out, I thought it might be worth giving it a try.

I thought it might be interesting to post little comments about events from daily life, linked with the spiritual work, which is at the basis of the good-will website. There are experiences since many years, and I am often having a joking conversation about these with my wife.

In the evening the fire burned on, and my 13 years old son Nikolas (:- ) thanks, Niku) gave me a helping hand in setting up this blog.

I just receive a note from a friend in Miami reminding:
“Master CVV received the energies of Synthesis on the 31st of March, 1910 at midnight hours, when the Moon was at 4° in Sagittarius.” (I thought of it this morning during meditation. More info)
So this is an auspicious occasion to launch the blog.

Agni Yoga, Leaves of Morya’ Garden I says:

Yes, yes, yes, each word of unity is as the seed of some fair flower.

To cultivate a garden of beauty is permitted to all.

But where are the gardeners who can judge which seed is best?

We shall teach them to gather the fertile stalks.

We shall pluck out the blighting weeds.

And the ground where God has manifested Himself

We shall adorn with flowers.
