There's no turning back


There's no turning back.
From the moment you take the big leap, there's no turning back.
For a long time we were afraid of taking this leap.
Where will this lead?
What will be the consequences of this? How will this affect us?
Fear of the unknown future, an imaginary loss, an unattainable gain.
Fear of dealing.
And yet, something in us continues to push us to take this leap.
try. dare. Take the chance.

We have a kind of gut feeling, an inner voice, heart calling, whatever you choose to call it, that pulls us, that leads us.
This is not the voice of logic.
It's not a voice that knows what it's going to get, and where it's heading.
This is not a voice which is based on past calculations, and implications for the future.
It is a momentary voice that knows what is right for it right now, and it goes with it 100 percent.
Surrender, what is it?
The ability to be in the moment, the ability to submit to change, to feeling, to experience, to momentary decision.

Once a person gives himself to that inner voice, he is ready to meet the unknown, for he is aware that only this moment has been known.
There is a knowing that no matter how much I think I "know", how thoughtful and calculating I am, I do not know what is going to happen next, I just know the now.

Therefore, I can take the future without guarantee.
As an option, as a possibility - and not be bound to it.
And from there, how will fear rise?
I do not know what's going to happen, it's all 50-50, so what's the point of being afraid.
I'll do my best to be here, so I'm sure I'll do my best in the future.
All I can do is to let thoughts pass through me, and act momentarily without intellectual understanding.
Experience that everything is perfect because it has already happened.

 So, let's enjoy this one-time journey called life.
Let's give one hundred percent of ourselves - now.

listening - what is that?

listening.... Have you ever noticed how challenging it is to listen? To truly listen. Listening without interrupting the other person, disturbing, revolting, reacting, attacking, justifying, being right, or assuming. Listening without projecting what the other person meant, and how it's going to affect me. Listening without understanding. Listening with innocence, in presence. Listening is when I and the other person disappear and there is only presence. There is no separation, because there are no two - there is only one. There's only me. Without noticing, I separated myself from the other. I did not see that I was the one who had projected the other, who had created the other, inside of me. The other was simply my projection, my reflection. me. We put ideas on each other without seeing who the source of all these ideas is. We are too busy pointing out, blaming, comparing, instead of seeing that everything is within us. Listening is the taking of responsibility, that all ...

when the student is ready...

This is a sharing on the challenging and tumultuous journey that I have gone through with Yigal, my mentor, in the past two years. I met him at the exact time, in the exact place. When the student is ready, the teacher arrives. I have been searching for a path that leads me to happiness for 3 years. During the journey I practiced and learned all kinds of theories, philosophies and exercises that would take me to happiness. I lived in a monastery for 6 months, lived in various places in the world where I was exposed to other ways to live, in order to find my way. On this journey I encountered even more confusion, doubts, and fear. It seemed that any way was not my way. I met Yigal at that turning point. I met him at a cafe. Already in the first conversation with him, when our eyes met, I knew that this was my guide. There was something in him that I could not ignore or remain indifferent to. Yigal shared with me the whole essence of life in this conversation, ...
