Deepak Chopra on Oprah’s Lifeclass

Posted on May 1, 2012 by lichtundheil

I have just watched Deepak Chopra and Oprah in Oprah’s Lifeclass on OWN. As someone not from the U. S., I became more aware of her work through this event (also see here) with Eckhart Tolle.

She does a good job. [Incidentally, by the way, she also addresses the relationship between religion and spirituality I discussed in my previous post. Her stance of distinguishim them may be understandable especially in a country like America, where there are some quite fundamental people who might otherwise object to some of the important insights.]

Deepak Chopra gives some valuable advice during the broadcast – have a look!

On the Terms “Religion” and “Spirituality”

Posted on April 25, 2012 by lichtundheil

Today, I read Eckhart Tolle’s explanations as to “religious versus secular spirituality” (which has also been recorded on ETV a few months back).

I was tempted to write a comment there, but not ultimately sure about my motive, (and) whether it was not more the mind, and given the possibility I should not sit in front of my computer this morning anyway, I probably better post it here. My comment is:

When reading the comments, it occurs to me that one might wish to be careful not to build an artificial contradiction between “religion” and “spirituality”. (For then, the ego has an opponent to strengthen itself in fighting.)

It is a question of definition, and Eckhart shows how to use both terms with slightly different, but possibly somewhere overlapping / “meeting” meanings. Read more... (233 words, estimated 56 secs reading time)

Nice Jobs (I): Wizard of your Country

Posted on March 6, 2012 by lichtundheil

Possibly in a series of articles on out-of-the-box thinking, I am going to introduce a few interesting job ideas, as during the period of job hunting, I have come across a few quite interesting job descriptions. Although these positions appear to be not quite the rule, I believe just noticing them (if one cannot get them, of course…) can be of help in finding ideas about how oneself might create (or find?) a suitable position for oneself.

Here, I am introducing the first one:

Be a Wizard of your City or Country!

Have a look at the Wizard of New Zealand here:

I noticed him reading this article, informative also the Wikipedia entry. A nice picture of him is here.

(Of course, you could als try to be a more conventional wizzard; I wish, there was a school…

Would love to be that…)

Einrichtung, Optimierung und Umzug eines WordPress-Blogs

A. Preliminary Remark in English (Für Deutsch bitte nach unten scrollen!)

This article is in German, about moving from wordpress.com to a wordpress.org-installation. You might also profit from merely following the links, or using Google Language Tools.

B. Einrichtung, Optimierung und Umzug (m)eines WordPress-Blogs von WordPress.com zu WordPress.org/eigenem Webspace

Impressum • Datenschutz

Vor kürzerem stellte ich fest, daß unter meinen Artikeln auf wordpress.com, wo ich mein Blog gehostet hatte, Werbung geschaltet wurde. Ich hatte es zuvor nicht bemerkt, vielleicht, weil das zuvor nicht der Fall war, vielleicht, weil man die Werbung im eingeloggten Zustand nicht gezeigt bekommt.

Da ich keine Werbung (außer, ich integriere sie selber auf optisch möglichst ansprechende Weise) auf meinem Blog haben möchte, aber nicht weitere 30 $ dafür zahlen wollte, habe ich mein Blog auf “wordpress,org” umgestellt undbauf http://www.hostingsociety.com umgezogen: Kostenlos und ohne Werbung : ) Read more...

Adam on Google+

Posted on February 19, 2012 by lichtundheil

I have just noticed, that Adam (Dreamhealer) is active on Google+. Despite my criticism of some aspects of Google+ earlier on this blog, I have to admit that, here, it has been put to quite beautiful a use. It is an excellent platform for sharing visualisation and other tips, as Adam does. Worth following.

(As to his books, you can read my comments here in German.)

An Island to be regained

Posted on February 4, 2012 by lichtundheil

Sometimes, even if one knows history and the application of law a bit, one can be astonished by the injustice of present-day courts even in a Western democracy of the EU. It has deprived an entire island population of their home (see e.g. this article). I would not have thought that such a lack of care, understanding and justice would have been possible.

Dear son of God

Posted on January 25, 2012 by lichtundheil

Dear son of God!

Do you not see your greatness?

Do you not feel, bestowed upon you,

the Grace of God Himself?

There is NOTHING for you

if you do not choose

the LIGHT that has been yours

from generations,

and is, and will be

to eternity’s oneness.

Where are you seeking?

Be blessed, and KNOW:

Nothing is failing – go on, to the show!

2012.

Faith. Beginning of Love.
