Discipline?

9/3/2017

0 Comments

 

"Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice." ~ Erich Fromm
 
How wonderfully true. The idea that ‘love’ is something I have to learn because I unlearned it so thoroughly, is not an attractive one. We are so used to saying ‘I love you’ and most of the times it just means ‘you adequately fulfill some ego desire’... Learning to love, the only purpose for being on this little planet.
I am on it ... Where will this lead, you ask? To the clear statement: “I Love”. Not limited to ‘you’ nor ‘red wine’ nor ‘Mozart’, all of these come into focus as the One Love.  

​Love, Diederik

Video Special - Projections in Relationship

2/16/2017

0 Comments

 
Our Special Video Series continues with:
Diederik's response to the question: "Can I relate to others without projection?"

Projection is involved in all our relationships, and in order to navigate them successfully, we can learn about how our projections on others are a product of the beliefs we hold about ourselves.

We have a number of relationship workshops coming up, check out our calendar for dates and locations.

"The whole world is your own Self. So who is good and who is bad?" ~ Poonja
It takes me (apparently) seemingly forever to really ‘get’ that I only meet the Self at all times and at every turn. What is it in me that will not see the ‘dream’ but still believes that what I see has even the slightest reality? Am I hopelessly addicted? If so, now is the time to detox and surrender to the self. Who is good and bad? No-one is either. Love is neither good nor not good, bad nor not bad. Love Is.
​Love, Diederik

Imagination?

11/20/2016

"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself." ~ William Blake
​

In the eyes of the man who Knows spirit (Love, God, Buddha, Christ), all of nature reflects that spirit; and not only that, all he sees reflects spirit. There are times I Know that man and then there are times that I bathe in ignorance.
​Love, Diederik

Love? Wisdom?

"Love says 
"I am everything". 
Wisdom says
"I am nothing".
Between the two, my life flows."
~ Nisargadatta
​

That flow continues till I finally see that ‘Everything’ and ‘Nothing’ are the same, till I finally see that Love is all there is.
​Love, Diederik

Love Yourself

11/7/2016

“The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred.” ~ Dalai Lama
If there’s anything I’ve learned from history, I could fight and win a thousand battles, but a man at war with himself will never find peace. This is why I find the line “Love your enemies” to be appropriately misleading, as it starts you on a path of compassion towards others, but must end with you forgiving yourself.
​Love, Dave

What do you mean by ‘Oneness’?

"We may talk and reason all our lives, but we shall not understand a word of truth, until we experience it ourselves." ~ Patanjali
‘Healing’ is not about books, teachings or teachers, ‘healing’ is about the experience of Love. Not the love for another based on ego preferences fulfilled, but the Knowledge that Love is all there is. Till I have that experience, all I hear is nice sounding words and attractive new-age platitudes. It is all about experience.
Love, Diederik
