It's only heavy when you hold it...but not when you let it go.

One of the predicaments we face is the fact that you and I have been acultured. We have been socialized and bought into a way of looking at the universe in which we try to define it all as the only reality.
Spiritual work helped me realise the entrapment in my cultural heritage and freeing my awareness from it, at least to certain degree. Not denying it, not pushing it away but not being trapped within it.
Rajiv Mehrotra, an Indian writer, said that we are in prison of our minds and the first thing to realise is that you are in prison. If you think you're free no escape is possible.
So what can I or you do for that realisation to be clear and for having such perspective so that we can awaken to those new realisations. Well, it's a journey. A spiritual slap in the face so to speak.
For me the primary game is to become conscious and aware. To have my heart open and my mind quiet enough to hear what is. To be free from my reactivity and to hear freshly. Boy, it ain't easy but let me tell you this; at some stage you awaken to the fact that in addition to being someone separate one is also part of everything. And once you awaken to this quality of your being that you touch, even if for a moment or a second, your main desire is to cultivate it and come back to unity and oneness.

Nature heals. Truly. Whenever I have a day full of thoughts and mind clutter I spend time in nature. It slows things down, one thought at a time, giving me so calming perspective on things.
For a year or so I removed all my social media and been checking things sporadically. I've tried to think of a way where I could use technology as my servant rather than keep on consuming content and be somehow addicted to it. I think I found a way but it's all life in the unfolding...
2020 has been a blessing. I acknowledge all of it; all the deaths, misery, grief, anger and pain...and all the births, happiness, compassion and joy. All of it. And here we are now.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true....

[EN] My bike-packing trip to Italy is a celebratio

[EN]
My bike-packing trip to Italy is a celebration of helping others; On 5th of May I start from Venice, Italy and over the course of 8 days I will be cycling +1000km south to raise 1000 euro and help 37 people get access to clean water. I cannot do it alone; I need your help.

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean! I, like most in the developed world, have spent my entire life taking it completely for granted.

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation - every single day. Women and children spend, on average, four (4) hours every single day collecting water. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

Please see how you can impact those people in need: https://vimeo.com/53191452

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help. Sharing the link to this campaign is a huge help too.

Charity: water is very clear about their 100% model. They have worked super, super hard to maintain that 100% policy. Here's the URL explaining it all:
https://www.charitywater.org/our-approach/100-percent-model
100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

Love myself I do. Not everything, but I love the good as well as the bad. I love my crazy lifestyle, and I love my hard discipline. I love my freedom of speech and the way my eyes get dark when I'm tired. I love that I have learned to trust people with my heart, even if it will get broken. I am proud of everything that I am and will become. #quote ⠀

There is a powerful need for symbolism, and that means the architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart. ⠀

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. Whether it's exploring the local area or going for a month trip; it's all worthwhile doing in itself. Adventure is everywhere and only you can make it so :)⠀
