Recharge

Sometimes you win. And sometimes…you still win. Know that when something works out differently than you had anticipated it doesn’t mean you lost, but likely just means you had the wrong idea about what winning looks like. Today a friend of mine posted an outline for an autobiography in five chapters. In the first three the protagonist made the same mistake, described as falling in a hole. In the fourth they walked around it, and in the fifth they chose another street. I would argue that in each chapter she was still winning, she just couldn’t tell yet because she hadn’t made it to the end.

The title of Kudzanai-Violet Hwani’s painting is “Eve on Psilocybin.” The figure appears under a sky filled with potentially psychedelic flowers of differing shapes, sizes, and forms. As she lays contemplating what can be seen and known, the idea of both when we can see and know what is is likely also a consideration.

My photo

Digitized

I snapped the photo at the farm and immediately thought technology could improve it. After I enhanced it with my phone, I posted it on Facebook where friends commented it looked like an oil painting and like it wasn’t real.

The comments were almost immediate. I was amazed by how many people seem to be sitting around looking at Facebook. It is a convenient way to get a sense of being connected to people we are trying to actually not go near because of COVID.

I started getting Facebook instant messages from Victor, a recently added Facebook friend. I have not seen him since we were in fifth grade. We are now 57.

It was curious that he reached out. He was just saying hello and telling me he remembered me from fifth grade. I gathered from his profile that he is married so my suspicion he might be stalking me for a date seemed unfounded.

We chatted about nothing for a few minutes where I learned he lives in the next town. I felt like this kind of random connection is becoming more normal and preferred over in person contact.

We are living in a digitized world.

Perfection
By: Zsolt Hermann
Tags: Humanity, Perfection, Education, Connection, Society

Question from the Internet:

“What does perfection look like, and how will the world be if all of us were perfect?”

Perfection is when myriads of seemingly imperfect, unfinished, incompatible elements, pieces combine, complement each other to comprise a single, perfect whole.

We don’t have to be perfect in ourselves. We have to learn how to build such perfect relationships, mutually responsible and mutually complementing relationships, that creates a perfect Human society.

In that perfect Human society each can contribute to the whole with their unique, irreplaceable, most optimal contribution, while each receive exactly what they need and deserve in order to be able to perform that most optimal “cogwheel” role towards the whole collective.

20. Not perfect is more than enough
By: Father
Tags: Connection, Wisdom, Father And Daughter

The only perfection that matters is the one that makes you feel good. Most of the times, if not all of the times, feeling good has absolutely nothing to do with achieving or getting close to perfection but mostly about doing things that make sense to you. Laughing, building something, attempting to build something, repeating something that you like, stop doing something that you do not like, learning something, understanding something you did not understand the time before, making new friends, finding out something new about yourself, realizing your own prejudices and being able to tame them. And so on.

You see, nothing related really to being perfect.

My purpose in life, which I only understood when I was 35 years old, is to connect with myself, that means to connect my body and my brain. And through this connection, connect with the natural world (all the magnificent landscapes on Earth) and with other animals, human beings included.

This purpose serves everybody, whether they are aware of it or not. When you meet someone who is extending their inner connection and thus their external connection, this someone will most probably be a calm, healthy, kind person. Still a human being, hence with their flaws, issues, problems, uncertainties, contradictions.

Such contradictions are inherent to human beings, so do not dedicate too much time, or no time at all, to try to dissolve it. It is ok to acknowledge them, they are part of our existence, and they make sense in a way that we might no be even able to understand. But that does not mean that they make no sense at all. So respect those contradictions, do not feel bad about them, observe them and see if they reveal something about yourself.

My previous post was very negative. I was in utter pain, writing from a deep wound. This one is written merely 36 hours later, and it is more optimistic. I am the same person writing both of them. Sounds contradictory, it is not. Life is dynamic, we are as well. No fixed notion of ourselves will stand long. We learn to understand this, and the sooner we learn it the better. The sooner we learn it the longer the time we have to fully, consciously enjoy our time on Earth.

Dear daughter, I am not sure when will you read this, at what age, under what circumstances. Will I still be there? I do not know. Life is uncertain. But I do know that through the years, human beings learn most of the truths that are really useful to get to feel happier and enjoy life the most.

I hope that when you read this, you will get some positive influence from my words. This is the main intention of me sharing all these thoughts with you. I want to share my wisdom with you, because it is the most treasured thing that I own. I hope you can make a positive use of it. And if you already know most of this wisdom, that means that you probably learn the important truths about life way sooner than I did. Well done lovely one!
Two things
By: Heidi Zuckerman

Two things

I am famous for doing two things at the same time. It’s a skill that probably a lot of working moms have and being a working single mom definitely adds a lot of opportunity for practice! But there are two things that can’t be done at the same time: feeling gratitude and anger. These emotions cancel each other out. Adding a smile to almost anything you’re doing, whether it’s holding a particularly long and uncomfortable yoga pose or acknowledging the humor of the universe as one is offered up some particularly wry irony, a default to humor is always a good idea. Laughing at ourselves, with others, or just a general acknowledgment of the absurdity, shared or kept to oneself, adds flow and ease to the day.

Of course different people find different things funny, but I love Darren Bader and his use of humor. He explores the absurd by not just being provocative, but also playful. In this work from 2012 he injected heroin into a piece of lasagna. A later series involves selling money at a price different then it’s “actual value,” some for more, some for less. I bought one of those works. It sits in a file but just knowing that I have it makes me smile and be grateful and that’s part of the incredible power of art.
Carrying a Conversation
By: Chirantan Joshi
Tags: Networking, Bonds, Conversations, Relationships, Connection

Business networking is not about seeking referrals but about building relationships. It is evident that it takes time to build a relationship but to build a meaningful relationship you need to have a deeper rapport, which in turn requires frequent conversations.

The first thing then is to go past the initial introduction when you meet someone for the first time. A meeting can get stalled once the pleasantries have been exchanged and each one is seeking a thread to continue the conversation. It is in times like these that I feel my experience can be of help to you, and I share a few topics of conversation that can lead to a much longer and animated interaction. Dale Carnegie in his masterpiece — “How to influence people and win friends”, repeatedly reiterates the need to be a good listener. I need to add here that you also need a good topic of conversation to make the task of listening lighter and make the exchange of words build a deeper rapport.

Here’s my list of 10 topics of discussions to spark a conversation.

What made you start on your own? What is the first thing you bought with your own money? What was your most famous moment? What’s the best advice you ever followed? What’s the one fear you want to overcome? What is the one decision in life you want to revisit? Who is the most famous person you met? What is that you own that you will never sell? Where do you want to travel next? What about your children make you proud?

These are my suggestions and feel free to improvise as long as you address the basic tenets on which these questions are based on. You have to give them an opportunity to speak about something that relates to their past, and more importantly to their future. The conversation should make them reminisce about the good things of life, feel proud of their achievements, get appreciation and stay hopeful.

It would help if you mentally prepared yourself with your own answers to these questions in case you were asked to respond to the questions as well. And do not commit the cardinal sin of offering your answer before getting the response from the person you posed your question to.

I would love to get feedback on these topics and know what else worked for others.
God’s Message
Tags: Belief, Spirituality, World, Connection, Religion

God’s Message

God sent covid-19 for a reason.

He didn’t say, “ I’m going to punish my people because they keep sinning.”

No, our god will never do that to us. He sent this virus for a specific reason, that he only knows about it.

Before, this pandemic we were all busy with work, school, friends, and family. We were so busy that we didn’t make time for god. We didn’t have our focus on him.

But, now that some of us are taking virtual schooling or work. For some of us limiting our work time. What is your excuse this time? Why are you not making time for him?

He did not send these signs just for us to see that he is with us, protecting us. He did not send saint Judas Tadeo, Holy Spirit, and himself to see the good and bad of this world.

He sent these signs so that we can get closer to him mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Does not matter the religion you are catholicism, judaism, christian, muslim, etc. As long as we are taking time from a day to connect with him.

We should at least have 10 minutes to an hour of our day for god only. For example, before going to bed or the moment you wake up. Pray to him and thank him for another day of life. Thank him for protecting you and keeps doing it.

Each day there are good and bad people of our country dying. If, you are one of those people where are you going to spend the rest of your life? Heaven with god or hell with the devil?

It is never too late to repent of your sins.

But, know that we are living in the last days.

Remember god loves you and is there when you need him. But, always just like he is there also be there for him. Does not take a whole day, he only needs at least an hour to him.

May god bless you all, and happy healthy holidays!

*Note*

On the images above were signs god sent us during the pandemic. He was telling us that we need to be more into him than everything else. Look in the images above and if you are a believer or know, you will know what each image is.
Building meaningful connections
Tags: Connection, Vulnerability, Relationships

Today I am writing about feeling whole in relationships.

Sometimes we need other people to heal us. Their presence, their comfort, and their heart + energy alone makes us feel happy. This ‘soul connection,’ if you will, is rare. It can take years to cultivate or maybe even moments. The idea is that these people — whoever they are and whatever role they play in your life — are important. They are so damn important, and that feeling of knowing you have someone valuable in your life who makes you feel good no matter what, is scary. It’s so scary because you don’t want to lose them. because you know life can sometimes feel too good to be true and just the thought of them not being there anymore can be crippling.

As a result, what I’ve seen and read is that we tend to hold back. After realizing our mortality and how short life can be, we feel this sudden urge to be prepared for the worst, to expect something bad to happen. So then we stop giving too much of ourselves. We stand protected, fully aware that we love the person in front of us whilst putting up a shield because the thought of getting too close to have them be taken way from us is unbearable.

Recognize, that being vulnerable is hard but it is important.

This is a mantra I’ve been telling myself as I begin to connect so deeply with the people around me. Being vulnerable let me realize how meaningful my relationships could be, which means I have to keep being vulnerable to keep experiencing that depth and that makes me even more vulnerable and THAT truth is how I realized how hard it is. Vulnerability doesn’t happen once and then your relationship is open forever. It is hard to keep love around. It is hard to keep trust around, to keep true connection around.

But as hard as it is, I’ve been on the other side of connection. I’ve been on the side of distrust and distance and shields and protection. I have a whole ‘emergency kit’ full of disconnection tools. And after using them for nearly 19 years of my life, I undersatnd that disconnection is always. ten times. harder.

Do less

Do less

The second principle of the Tao can be synopsized as do less to do more. For a while now my personal mantra has been: “Do less.” If you know me,you can understand how hard that is for me and also how incredibly productive it has been. It is about reducing busywork, commitments to things and people that you don’t actually care about, and creating space to think and write and act where you believe you can do more. A friend of mine shared a key idea from the Hoffman process: we are human beings, not human doings. Spoiler alert: the overall goal of life is to end suffering by being fully at home in ourselves.

Robert Montgomery creates large-scale, site specific sculptural installations that present texts he writes. They are ideas, poetry, aspirations, thoughts, dreams, and sometimes, for some people, they are truths. I experienced the first one very soon after the death by suicide of my college boyfriend who I still love and it read: The people you love become ghosts inside of you and like this you keep them alive. I saw this one last night and I love it also.

The Purpose of Communication is Connection
By: Mike Schubert
Tags: Branding, Communication, Politics, Connection, Community

We are constantly communicating with the outside world.

In everyday life we nonverbally signal that we are happy, sad, open to conversation, excited, or a variety of other things. We express ourselves and connect with the world through what we say and do.

When we communicate with our prospects, customers, employees, or shareholders, we seek to make a connection in order to build our community, or grow our business.

The stories we tell, the ads we create, and the speeches we make all have one underlying goal of connecting with our audience.

This connection has been with us since the beginning of human-kind and the need to be together in community.

When our ancestors grouped up and formed tribes, they were trying to survive as best as they could. But why did they stay? Surely there was someone more powerful that they could have joined; Someone with more resources that would lead to a more fruitful existence.

It was because their group gave them something more than just protection, survival, or daily sustenance. They gave them a sense of belonging and a purpose. They were connected with their community through the constant affirmation and vision that was communicated by their leaders.

We find this even now.

People stay at jobs that may not pay them as much largely because they are part of a community and a collective belief. The community become our identity and these groups make us feel special, needed, and connected as part of a larger whole.

But, how do we really connect with people through our communication?

It starts with a deep seated curiosity for others. When we are genuinely interested in other people and acknowledge their desires and pains, we can establish a connection through our nonverbal communication. When we listen to them and respond empathetically, we establish a bond.

From there, we want to communicate common values and beliefs. This strengthens our connection with like minded individuals and provides a common cause to live for. Be vulnerable and open to others. Use “we” and “our” language, and be inclusive.

Examples of this are Apples marketing toward the disruptors and artists back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, and a darker version is the campaign against traditional media outlets recently.

Finally connecting with other people comes down to repetition. Continue to repeat the love you have for other people, repeat those common values, continue to hammer home your shared purpose.

Doing these things will build a bond with other people that is hard to break. Take a look at political figures like Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or even Donald Trump, Look at Brands like Coca-cola, Apple, and Harley Davidson. These people/brands have connected with there audience to such a high degree that their bond is nearly unbreakable.

In the end, we communicate to connect with others, regardless of our other motives; and we can build incredible movements if we follow a few principles along the way.

We can’t find happiness inside of ourselves, it is between people!
By: Zsolt Hermann
Tags: Change, Progress, Happiness, Education, Connection

Question from the Internet:

“People are trying to find happiness or contentment by looking all around them. Is there a way to put that energy into looking inside of them and find what they have been looking for all along?”

I think that the actual problem is that we try to find happiness inside ourselves.

Even when people look for happiness “around then", they are searching for what they can attain for themselves, by what can they make themselves happy.

But true happiness can’t be found inside, that is an illusion!

True happiness is a collective, mutual emotional impression that arises from perfect, positive, mutually responsible, mutually complementing Human connections.

Happiness — contentment in biological term — comes from the balance, homeostasis one achieved with one’s environment. Nothing, nobody can become happy, content on one’s own.

Thus for true happiness we need to build a completely new, unique Human environment that’s based on general balance and homeostasis, as reach only cares about the fulfilment, contentment, happiness of the others. Then they all benefit from an unprecedented, reciprocal flow of energy, communication which didn’t exist between them before, which gives a completely new, qualitatively much higher sense of existence.

And since we need to achieve, build this above and against our inherently egotistic, self-serving, self-justifying, subjective nature, we will feel this new life as an extraordinary, vivid, absolutely realistic, tangible way in the contrast achieved!

Many words cannot one feeling replace

Spare me texts for a look upon your face

And what do smiley faces really mean?

Perhaps joy, anger, or something in between

Ambiguity abounds, one is never sure

Is it just words and nothing more?

A thousand friends; a lot indeed

Only one or two in time of need

Strange thing it is to me

Is this the way it’s meant to be?

This and that network, another new app…

But I’d rather sit with a good old chap

We chat a lot, this we can debate

But do we really communicate?

Human needs too long stay unmet

And simple things we do forget

Like the touch of a hand

Or a pat on the back

Tell me, for I do not know

Is there an app for that?
There is a difference between saying we have a global problem and feeling we have a global problem
By: Zsolt Hermann
Tags: Survival, Crisis, Global, Education, Connection

Question from the Internet:

“We think we have a problem, let’s say it’s a virus. But we know it’s not so simple. The problem doesn’t seem well enough defined yet just to rely on medical experts to solve it. We all agree that it’s our common problem. What’s the common solution?”

I think the problem starts with “saying" it is a common problem but not feeling it.

We all talk about a global world, about global problems, we keep hearing that we are all sitting on the same boat and we need to work together, but then what do we do?!

We keep acting as we always did, individually, nationally, making calculations only for ourselves, trying to succeed at each other’s expense.

If we needed any more proof the pandemic and the woefully inadequate reactions, “solutions" provided that proof. So we keep sinking into the pandemic, the virus keeps coming back wave after wave and it is not difficult to predict — despite the official defiance — that the vaccine won’t erase the virus threat.

And it is not only the pandemic that is threatening us, but all the other global problems like climate change, water shortage, pollution, antibiotic resistance, geopolitical flashpoints, social inequality, rising unemployment, depression, growing addictive substance abuse especially in the youth, etc.

And in our present fragmented, disunited manner we can’t solve any of them!

So first of all we need to solve the most important problem, helping people to learn, moreover feel what our inevitable integration, interdependence means and how we need to handle it. After all this integration is necessitated by Nature’s evolution, we can’t remain incompatible with the increasingly integrating Natural system we one of its species!

So we need a unique, purposeful and highly practical “Integral Education" that can teach us, make us feel — above and against our inherently selfish, egotistic, individualistic tendencies, instincts — what mutual integration, cooperation can give us beyond collective survival (which is not possible without it).

We can’t erase our differences, we need to connect and cooperate above them!
By: Zsolt Hermann
Tags: Differences, Body, Life, Connection, Integration

Question from the Internet:

“What is the point of preserving cultures in a globalized world?”

Let’s say someone had the bright idea of homogenizing all the cells of the Human body, making them all identical.

After all they are all cells of the same body, so why should they differ?

These billions of different cells, seemingly all incompatible, with all the constant breaking down, rebuilding, cell-death and renewal, who needs this mess?!

Let’s make a much more simple, homogeneous body!

Can such a body survive?!!

Humanity is a closed, fully integrated system and we will have to learn how to cooperate, mutually complement each other to survive in Nature’s fully integrated system. But we will have to do that above and despite of our individual, national differences, different attributes, cultures and so on.

We can’t, mustn’t even attempt to erase those differences, contradictions!

Our unique Human ability comes from the dynamic tension, life arises from that tension, from the mutual connection, circulation, communication we need to learn, acquire above everything that separates, rejects people from each other.

Shades of Darkness

Photo by Angus Read on Unsplash

I step into your darkness,

but I can't see you.

I hesitate to call out, to intrude,

what if you're asleep?

This pitch-black,

most severe shade of darkness —

could it get any darker!

Blinded by light for too long,

now I cannot see

the figure lying still,

not very far from me.

I close my eyes, delving

into the deepest of my darkness;

in that profound blackness

I search for my lost sight.

As I open my eyes, it’s there

before me: a grey world painted

in its myriad intriguing shades.

In its hands, clasped in a tight hug,

delicately interwoven,

I finally find you.

“He had eaten the dark hours” wrote Mary Oliver. As we get close to the darkest day of the year how does the absence of light feel? How do you eat that darkness? What works for you? For me, I seek community and when it can’t be with others in real space and time then it is through works of art and poetry such as hers. I like feeling and knowing that others have comparable or related feelings and knowings.

Fred Tomaselli did a series of portraits of friends and others. Each person is represented as a constellation of stars, but the points of light are all of the drugs they have taken. Of course the specific content is specific to the person, but they range from illegal, like heroin, to legal like Tylenol and caffeine. The works are a poetic way to convey the complexity of things that make up each individual as well as illuminate the light that can always come from the darkness.

Feedback

I believe that potentially the most important thing for us is to feel seen and heard. When someone takes the time to just listen and not try to solve anything and just hold the space of sharing, it feels very safe. A safe space is a sacred space, and a space to which one really wants to return. I have a tendency to want to help, to solve, to encourage, and while there is a graciousness within those inspirations, it is often not appropriate. Truly seeing and hearing someone not only includes, but also celebrates, everything they are and that does not include everything they could be, but rather allowing them to just be. Truly seeing and hearing ourself also includes that grace. The quieter it gets, the more we can hear.

Hiroshi Sugimoto’s photographic practice focuses on specific environments: seascapes, theaters, dioramas, the temple of 1,001 Buddhas, all of which communicate a sense of both openness and silence. He utilizes a long exposure to allow the time to evolve to not only be captured, but included in what is being seen.
Happiness is a state of connection
By: Zsolt Hermann
Tags: Life, Happiness, Circulation, Education, Connection

What is the one thing in your life that made you the happiest?

As I am gaining more and more experience in life — I am almost 55 — I can say that the happiest moments of my life have always been states when I was in some form of positive, mutual, reciprocal connection with other people.

Which is not surprising.

When we interconnect in a positive, mutually supportive, mutually complementing way with others we switch from an otherwise self-absorbed, limited “single-cell” existence to a qualitatively much higher collective, “multi-cellular” life with a completely different life circulation, communication providing a completely different life-experience.

3 Easy Steps To Reconnect With Your Inner Being
By: Julian Geschwindner
Tags: Spirituality, Mindfulness, Intuition, Awareness, Connection

Most of us lost contact with our inner being — learn how to reconnect now

A few years ago I went on a big adventure and started the journey back to myself. I experienced something in a meditation that has changed my life forever. I had no idea what my life will look like after that experience but I know something was different.

One year after that meditation I came in contact with someone who tough me how to reprogram myself from old reactions and how to connect with my inner being again. Today I want to pass this knowledge on to you so you can start and deepen the connection to yourself and also your spirit guides and your intuitive messages.

Let’s start. Most of us are programmed to respond with a just saying “Okay” or an other word to subconsciously respond when someone is saying something to us or shows us something.

A way to reprogram your body and become more aware of what you are hearing, seeing and feeling is this.

As soon as someone is telling you something you really pay attention to what they are saying and most importantly you take a deep breath in and then you say: “I hear you”. This will help you to connect your words with you body again. Your language becomes more conscious and you start to really hear what others say and also what is going on in you. You become more present in the moment and with the person.

The second step is very similar. As soon as someone shows you something you breath in and you say: “I see you” or “I see that”, depending on what makes more sense. Important is that you breath in and become aware of what you are seeing.

Step three is related to your feeling. As soon as you feel into someone when they share an intimate or emotional story you breath in and you say: “I feel you.” or “I feel that”. This was the most important one for me.

It not only helped me to connect more with others but along my journey I had so many experiences with my spirit guides and other energies that I felt. I got downloads, received messages and could consciously respond to them and really receive them.

With practice you will notice that you hear more that you were aware of before. Your connection to yourself will improve and your intuition and the trust in it becomes stronger. You might forget it sometimes, just make it a new habit and observe how your life is changing over the course of the next month and years.

Lazy

The other evening my son said, “Lazy people work hardest.” It’s a super interesting concept. He told me I’ve definitely heard the idea over the years as it is the motto of the long serving and beloved outdoor education teacher at our primary school. A tactical example included taking the time and making the effort to pack up all of your belongings before heading out for the day or returning to a windswept campsite to find your things everywhere. Can you dig deep to do something once well? And to do so repetitively and consistently? It is proven that hard decisions in the short term make for great decisions over the long term. I love to use the example of compound interest.

Albert Einstein

Stupid. Failure. No good. Idiot.

Albert Einstein heard all these phrases about himself and more. Growing up was tough for young Albert. He didn’t express himself well and struggled in school. Even his teachers gave up on him, deciding that he was impossible to teach. Those around him considered him mentally retarded, and no one thought he would ever make anything of himself.

This doesn’t sound like an auspicious beginning for someone who is considered to be one of the greatest geniuses of all time, does it?

Einstein seemed to meet failure at every turn. He wished to attend the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology but had to take the entrance exam twice before he was admitted. Even then, his troubles weren’t over. His teachers laughed at his ideas, calling his doctoral dissertation “irrelevant and fanciful.” After college, no one thought much about him. He worked in a patent office. A situation which turned out to be perfect because the work was so mindless, he had plenty of time to think.

And think he did. A lot!

Albert Einstein used his extra time to work out several theories. In fact, he became so caught up in his ideas, he grew absent-minded and oblivious to the world around him. In the grand scheme of things, maybe it didn’t matter quite so much whether he forgot to wear socks with his shoes. The important thing was what he developed, what he created in those deep thoughts. From the Theory of Relativity to every theory that came after, it soon became evident that Albert Einstein’s thoughts were considerable. So much so that he became a professor himself, and even won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.

Imagine what his critics had to say about him then!

From Albert Einstein, we should learn not to let the world define us. No one truly knows what you’re capable of but you. Even if you don’t always express your ideas well, it doesn’t mean those ideas don’t have merit.

Albert Einstein is also an excellent example of what it means to do your own thing. His ideas didn’t mesh with the way people typically thought about the world. Even in his lifetime, not everyone saw things his way. This didn’t stop him from expressing himself and standing by what he said.

So be smart like Einstein. Don’t be afraid to share your ideas with the world. More importantly, never let anyone else tell you what you can do. That’s for you to show them.
