It’s time…
… to make some changes… There is a lot of talk about 2012 going on, just like a few years ago, there was a lot of talk about 2000. What fascinates me is that people seem to pick these dates, and whatever will happen, are sitting around waiting for it. Why not start changing life now? Why not decide to cut the bullshit, move forward and radically change life until there are no more compromises? Carolin Myss in her book “Sacred Contracts” talks about the prostitute archetype, that little voice in our head that tells us that where we are at is not soooo bad, and that if we wanted to change it, there are all these scary unknowns. Thus it would be sooo much better to stay where we are and not risk anything, right?? Well, no. Fuck suffering. Change everything. Change at least one thing in your life every day. A lovely saying I read once said that the difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that while unsuccessful people spend their time, successful people use it. Gets even better when you translate it into German: “spending” translates to “verbrauchen“, “Brauch” meaning habit or custom – doing the same things over and over again. “use” translates to “verwenden“, which is related to “Wandel“, meaning Change…. So, use your time, it’s running out 
Check out the world clock my friend Noa just sent me: http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock.swf. Definitely provides some sense of urgency, no?
Who is creating Your Reality?
okay… FINALLY got around to a) putting together a PowerPoint deck for my thesis, b) present my thesis and record it, c) combine my recording of the presentation with the PowerPoint slides, and d) post it to YouTube (I had originally recorded straight to YouTube, but screwed up the sound, thus the extra steps).
The quality of the pictures is pretty crappy. Live and learn. Didn’t have the patience to redo the whole thing, so this is what it is for now. There will be a better version at some point. For now, this will be transcribed and will serve as the basis for my thesis, as well as the book I am planning entitled “Who is creating Your Reality?”.
Enjoy!
Onward…
Wow… can’t begin to say how mindblowing Peru was… Think that will require a whole long conversation at some point… Since I came back, life has been equally wonderfully crazy. The loft life has been quite magickal, tons of amazing people have been in and out of here in the last weeks and it just keeps on going… Lots on the plate these days, so time-management is becoming a renewed focus, gotta get evermore efficient!
In the meantime, there are random fun art things as well, while I haven’t got to make music any time lately, at least there are the occasional midnight collaborations. The pictures on the right where created by my neighbor Logan, a wonderfully talented photographer and artist, resulting spontaneously from a conversation he and I were having about such lovely and dear concepts as the meaning of life and dharma…
Also made the commitment to update this page more frequently, so hopefully I will be able to catch up with myself soon
