YES WE CAN

There is this thread. This tender, joyful glow. The soft feeling of the frequency I love. Love.
Yes, I love this frequency, the reality I perceive in it, my deep resonance, the feeling of home, of “Yes, this is right.” And it comes through, shines its unobtrusive, quiet light, even in the darkest spaces – somewhere there is always such a seed, such a grain from another reality. Like the seed in The Neverending Story that Bastian receives from the Childlike Empress and from which a whole new world grows. For me, these images are very real. I experience these spaces and the glow within me. And I follow the frequency that I feel there.

Our everyday life, our life, with all its requirements and the many places which hurt – tiny and huge – all this cannot frighten this shining. It stands there and says steadily and day in and day out:
There is another way. Here on earth, here as a human being, here in this life, in this body, in this world…
it can be done differently.

I have been struggling with this “it can be done differently”. Strong forces hold everything against it, which obviously shows that this is not true. Telling me on the outside as well as on the inside why all that my heart knows is possible… is not true.
Because it is unrealistic. Because the world is different. Because that’s just the way people are and they can’t get out of their stuff. Because we’re sitting on an endless mass of trauma. Because we’re too stupid. Because we missed it.
Because we… because we… because we……
And because I… because I… because I…

. . .

Yes. That may be true.
And yet… steady and undaunted… the light of trust and love shines. The love for life. The love for man. The love for the earth. The love for everything in me. It shines and sometimes spreads. These are blessed moments. Sometimes unexpected, silent, in the middle of the night. Sometimes with other people. Sometimes in therapeutic processes. And sometimes just like that, while cycling around. It doesn’t matter where, when, how, with whom… this love is always there, this love needs no proof.
I experience it as grace – that these spaces are granted to me, and that their frequency in the end are always stronger than the fears or counter-arguments.

And at the moment this frequency sets up in me, stands up, becomes a clear, straight ray between the sun and the center of the earth – and simply begins to fill my being with its quality. And to place itself in me on the earth and to spread out. And its message is very clear:

YES WE CAN

We can live differently.
We can love without conditions.
We can find peace.
We can do differently than we have been doing.
We can.

This is the basic tenor that sparks incessantly.

It sparks. It sparks inside of me… and these waves hit all the layers that say “No, that’s not true”. And each of those places holds the possibility of getting tangled up: Into flaring emotions. Into deep arguments. In various relationship dramas. In wide-ranging experiences. In history. In the disasters of the world. In all our stories of how we have already lived, what we have already experienced, what works and what doesn’t.
And each of these places holds the possibility of transformation. To become still, to become quiet, and to examine what is our truth in the depths of our hearts. To pause and feel what is actually going on in the mix of drama and emotion. To rediscover ourselves and each other in what unites us. To seek help where we cannot make it on our own. To get to know kindness and humility. To let the heart be touched… And to recognize these places as invitations to decide anew.

Separation or connection, fear or love – this is the final decision that we have to make once and again. Which nobody takes from us and nobody else can make for us, no matter in which situation we are. This decision determines the basic tenor of our life, determines our path, determines who we are and how we see the world. Determines what we see and what we don’t see. Determines where we are going.

And the way I see it is that this decision – at the core of every human being – makes the difference. The difference we need to create a truly new world. And I believe that we are in the middle of the great change and that many people have already decided. That these people let themselves be led by this decision of theirs, in both directions. That’s how I experience the time right now, as a deep call for us to decide, and the ever increasing extremes that this decision brings with it.

For a long time I was myself under the spell of my inner fear or view that the “out there” is too big and too deeply wounded for it to heal. Our traumas – personal, ancestral and collective – too massive for these comparatively small portions of light to even begin to have a chance. A paralyzing sense of fear and distrust and flight from this world. And yet… there were always situations in which I had to decide: to give up out of all the pain, anger, grief, hatred, powerlessness and despair, or still… to dare to entrust myself to love. So I have chosen, over and over again. Was and am led by this choice to the places which are not yet clear. Clarify them, choose and go on. It is a path of love, to love – through many valleys with a lot of shit.
And this is how the healing process works, this is how the step-by-step digestion of shit works… Like the mushrooms in nature, this is a way in us to digest all that which seems indigestible… after all. And so new soil is created where once there was desert, new plants grow where once the forest burned. Nature can do that. And we are nature – we can do that too.

This is not a loud and fast movement, in the end this is actually a very quiet, slow, steady movement. And everyone who makes this movement within himself, or rather allows it, decides for it, lets himself be led by it… is part of an enormous network, which gives birth to a new life on earth like this. From the depth of the earth and the vastness of the cosmos….

And so now I stand new on earth. And by digesting the layers of pride, distrust and very very old fears in my cells, there grows this fine plant. Standing there with its simple, colorful, calm, joyful and doll loving energy. And sees others doing the same. And allows me to land in astonishment in a new inner reality: Where before in the last instance the voice had won which meant that it has no sense… Now this plant stands there and says: Yes we can.

Very simple.
