Is Univeral Serenity attainable?

We have to answer this question with a resounding YES! Otherwise this web site would not make too much sense, wouldn't it?

But with all your current struggels and challenges in life how could it be possible to reach a state in which you would feel total serenity irregardless of your external conditions? The answer is - practice.

blossom with dewTake a body-builder. He might start out as an average guy, with the one difference that he has the drive to transform his body into this machine of muscles and tendons. So he starts practicing. He probably will have to practice for several years before he reaches his goal, but the main point is that he makes his decision and then STARTS!

That is step number one - a step without none of the other steps will happen. Then he tales the next step, which is pretty much the same as the first. Then the third, fourth and so on. At one point he actually might stop counting and just do his exercises. Obviously he has to see some progress towards his goal to be able to do so.

And then he reaches his goal.

It is the same if you intend to reach a mental or spiritual state that initially seems unreachable, but if divided into smaller steps - starting with the very first - you WILL reach that goal, as long as you stay with it. Again, you will need some form of intermediate successes to keep you going.

Within 'Universal Serenity' you will find the exercises to make your first step and keep taking the following steps to reach that goal. The successes you will experience on the way will be spectacular, but don't worry, you will get used to it.

We wanted to get this site going as soon as possible, so you have arrived here before it is actually complete, but you can still get in touch with us, to get on the mailing list and maybe just ask some questions you might have.

We are working feverishly to get this site done, so please stick with it and we'll talk soon!

Peace and Serenity

"The world is AS we SEE it."

"We create our own reality."

"We attract into our lives what we put attention on."

If you have looked into alternative ways to view the world you have certainly come across those idea, promoted by many of the main stream new age gurus. Science usually had nothing much to say about that as there was not much to measure and science is supposed to be about the measurability of phenomena.

And how can you measure something if the result is not only effected by the measurer but indeed created alltogether?

Now we have TED come to help us. TED, the yearly conference on Technology, Entertainment and Design, held in Monterey, California (now moving to other places) gives speakers the opportunity to speak about their area of expertize for 20 minutes. Speakers are often not the usual suspects, and I have been surprised by the subjects presented.

Today I ran into a speech by Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert who says our beliefs about what will make us happy are often wrong.  He supports this premise with intriguing research, and explains it in in an accessible and unexpected fashion.

What he is actually giving is the scientific confirmation that all those new age gurus are correct.

Enjoy...

Wisdom in Pop Music PDF Print E-mail

Often we consider pop music as shallow, and I have to admit that most of the time this is a true assessment. But once in a while we find a little gem.

Working on this web site and browsing for something totally different I ran into a video with these awesome lyrics...

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

...

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

...

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

...

If I could melt your heart

I left out a few chorus verses that don't add much to the message but make, admittedly, the song a lot nicer. Would it not be terrific if everybody listening to this song would actually hear the words and apply them to oneself? Because then the message would spread fast and wide because a song by Madonna is listened to quite often. The song is 'Frozen' and I assume that is from Madonna's Kabbalah period - and here now you have it...
