Freedom is Here

Freedom is available to us all the time.

The freedom to choose what we want and decide what is right for us.
We also have the freedom to choose what isn’t working for us.

We are the ones who choose to be afraid, to get stressed, to be angry, to resent, to blame.
It is all the fruit of our creation, our choice.
It’s a hard thing to grasp.

When a person ‘wakes up’ to this, he is in a tremendous reaction to his life, to his own mind;
”how could I have chosen this path for so many years?’
A path of guilt, blame, justification, defense, proof, competition, being the victim?
How did I do it to myself? Why? What do I get from it? What’s the use of it?”

When a person awakens to this simple realization, he begins to experience time and time again that he is not getting any benefit out of it, and he becomes aware of the mechanism- as it is, which will naturally generate change, because there is no more covering, everything is clear.

As long as person is not fully aware of his own mind mechanism, which is expressed through thoughts, feelings and behaviour (like habits), aware of the cause and effect of things (implications), and doesn’t start to ask essential life questions such as why I do what I do and what is the purpose of it… there can be no change.

Even if change seems to happen, it does not really come from deep insight, from A conscious state, and it will only be temporary and not really revolutionary to one’s life.

Any conscious change one makes in a particular field, begins to affect and make a change in all other areas of life that we have not been aware of or repressed them for years.

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 deci...

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, ...
