INTIMITA

Myslíte si, že je respektování intimity ženy při porodu důležité?

Zkusme se na to podívat z jiného břehu. Co kdyby se do podobné situace dostal muž...?
Představte si, že jdete na vyšetření spermatu a potřebujete odevzdat čerstvý vzorek. Klinika je „pacient friendly“, dostanete časopis, kelímek, úsměv slečny u recepce a vejdete do... PRŮCHOZÍ kabinky! Kterou nelze zavřít, natož zamknout. Její stěny tvoří pouze odhrnovací plenta. ŠOK! Chcete se ohradit, ale nikde nikdo. Tak tam vejdete. Zařízení nové, pěkné, tak to zkusíte. No co, jiní to tu taky zvládli...!

Začnete, ale za chvíli kolem prochází lékař se skupinou mediků. Odhrne závěs Vaší kóje, něco prohodí a jdou dál.
A Vy už jste byl tak blízko! A nic... Váš nástroj, tak intimní, citlivý, je ve Vašich rukách, bez síly... Erekce odešla. Přichází sestra. Necitlivě jej (rozuměj: přísně profesionálně) prohlíží a prohodí: „No to nám nějak nejde...!“ Vy se chcete ohradit, jak „můžu“, když mě tady otravuje tolik lidí a já nemám soukromí? Copak to jde? Ale jen otevřete pusu, sestra volá do chodby: „Tady to pořebujem
povzbudit!“ A tak přijde další sestra, s injekcí.

Přecházíte do vedlejší kóje. Na lůžko. Myslíte si: „Už to mohlo dávno být, kdyby mě ti kreténi nechali na pokoji!“ Přichází lékař: „Ničeho se neobávejte, od toho jsme tady – abychom Vám pomohli!“ A úsměv. Vy se však nesmějete. Právě Vám do varlat píchli injekci – to BOLÍ!!! – aby se erekce obnovila.Je Vám zle. Ano, erekce přišla, ale je nadměrná, nepřirozená a příliš Vám napíná kůži na penisu. A také: PŘÍŠERNĚ BOLÍ!!! „Odkdy má proboha erekce bolet? To se mi nikdy dřív nestalo!“, myslíte si. Ale sperma nepřichází. Tělo se vzpouzí tomuto znásilnění.

Přichází anesteziolog: „Dáme lokální anestézii.“ Odmítáte. Toto je přece fyziologická věc, to zvládlo tolik mužů před Vámi... Přicházejí další odbodníci. Nasazují vakuový nástroj, který z Vás sperma mechanicky vysaje. Začíná pracovat a vy řvete jako raněný býk. Vy JSTE raněný býk! Nikdo s Vámi nemluví, jste bezmocný pacient v jejich profesionálních rukou, bez šance projevit svou vůli. Anesteziolog si Vás posměšně měří a opět nabízí lokální umrtvení. Přijímáte. Už to chcete mít za sebou. Proboha, jen ať je mé sperma v pořádku, myslíte si. Lékaři pracují jako dobře namazaný stroj. Povídají si o včerejší grilovačce. Smějí se. Vy už necítíte NIC. Nejste NIČÍM.

Po zákroku máte problém vstát, chodit, močit, jít na stolici. O případném SEXU ani
nemluvě...

Byl by tento scénář pro vás myslitelný?

Teal in Prague

A catalyst

Teal Swan also known as the spiritual catalyst visited Prague recently (April, 10-11-12 2014)

Teal had 2 conferences,  and one workshop (in Slovanský dům)

The 10th Teal Swan was in a conference with  Silvano Paoluci (Italy), Pascal Greub (Mexico), Jitka Třešňáková ( host), Anatolij Někrasov (Russia).

This is what Teal wrote in her blog about that event :

When I first arrived to Prague, I participated in a ‘spiritual panel’ of sorts at a building that was once a slaughterhouse.  I was on stage with other spiritual teachers.  During the event, I walked off stage.  It is the first time I have ever walked off stage in my life.  I did not resonate with many of the views that were shared by the other spiritual teachers, but beyond that, one of the teachers had a very unconventional approach to jarring people out of their realities.  The unconventional approach was to yell at people.  For many in the audience, this approach seemed to work.  Others, it made cry.  It just so happens that his approach ended up triggering my PTSD.  The force and rage behind his voice made me feel like I was 6 years old again, in the war path of a monster in the shape of a man.  I tried to hold myself on stage for as long as I could, until I decided that it was self-abusive to do so.  During his second intentional outburst, I ducked behind the curtain and nearly fell over my own shoes down the stairs in back of the stage crying.  I resigned from doing the rest of the seminar.  I did not make any friends doing that.  Many people were angry with me because of that decision.  The next day two people confronted me.  One who called me a coward directly to my face, the other who told me they decided based on my withdrawal, to attend the other man’s workshop instead of mine.  And when I showed up at the auditorium to speak at the Festival Evolution, I discovered that my withdrawal the previous night had earned me a reputation as ‘a difficult, self centered, American princess with an unnecessarily large entourage’.  

Workshop

For participants of the workshop (and they were around 400) nothing transpired of this "incident" - the main excitement was to see Teal in real life - to finally meet the teacher they discovered and loved on youtube. To see Teal with her team (Graciela, Blake and Sarbdeep) and to be part of what is now known as the "Teal Tribe".
 
During the 5 hours workshop there was a lot of questions related to "How do I figure what to do with my life?" and "suffering" in general - is it because in Czech Republic we have the habits of waiting for permission to be able to do something ? or to have the affirmation by an authority figure that what we want is actually possible ? and a need to "conform"?

Or is it just because we expect a definitive black and white answer like :  "being a successful writer" or "being a musician" ... What Teal Swan said and demonstrated with her assistant Blake (during the Festival Evolution the 11th) is that following our emotions is the way to reach the goal or finding our unique "gift" .. what was the paradigm shift for many in the audience was that it would be discovered gradually. Not as a sort of big revelation.
Because new desires will appear along the way, and one day will make people look back and realize that there was no right or wrong way to walk the path.

The whole point is to enjoy the ride, by following the feeling of happiness.

"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."

This is simple, and looks like a lot less painful, than the usual process of looking at evaluating things and trying to control events in our life (which is actually impossible).

Now, where are we buying this beliefs that there is a right way and a wrong way to do things ? ... and having recognition from others is more important than following our own emotions, and also that making mistake was bad ? ... when a whole institution is teaching generations after generations to conform, and learn like robot to eventually get a diploma that will lend them a job .. unfortunately this paradigm doesn't work anymore and it has created a bunch of deluded people that need to be reminded that the importance is to be happy not in the future, not after getting a diploma or having a job, but right now.

And this is the wake up call we got from Teal (among others).

Teal at the end of the workshop said she will be back in Prague, I certainly look forward to see her again.

Hologram

Sergei Yudin - Kishlak in Novy Margelan (1893)

Waking up in the dream

At the moment we are living in a time that will display the very best and the very worst in humans with a widening gap between the two aspects in all levels of society as we become increasingly polarized in groups according to our conduct and choices in Life.

It is a process of separation between the asleep person from the awake.
Yes, a trend is emerging - questions arises during dreams and about dreams...
What are we exploring really?
People recounting their lucid dream experiences (or "out of body" experiences) all that which lead us to question the "awaken state" ; what we call "reality" and then you suddenly start to look at dream in another way - because in a way "reality" is very similar to dreaming - but slower.

Deeper Dream

A mind shift starts to happen when you then think that dreaming is just another reality - then it hits you like a ton of brick : what we call "Reality" is just a "deeper dream" - then you can see paradoxes, there are meaning - but in dreams some interesting things are taking for granted : Telepathy is there, you can fly, you can teleport, anything pretty much appears the moment you want it. Have you ever noticed, how many things that we are trying to recreates in this dimension we call "reality" are these abilities we have inherently have in dreams - devices to help us fly, to communicate remotely, to travel fast...

The dream is in you

That's the funny part - the dream is in you and that means everybody you interact with  in the dream - even you...
Because the main similarity between these dimensions is that you still have "Consciousness" - even though you might not look the same way (or even have the same name).
Dreams are the safest thing you can experience, (i.e : what's the worst that can happen really? ... waking up ... end of the list).  

And then you realize that you have been asleep while awake and while dreaming. Because becoming lucid you understand fundamentally that you're creating your own reality.


The bottom line is : it will always be your own experience.

Jessica Serran

Jessica Serran is a Canadian artist, fascinated by the unseen, the unheard and the unspoken - and she is currently having an Art exhibition at the Bĕhal Fejér Institute (651/8 Pevnostni Praha 6 - near Dejvická metro station)

Jessica is looking into the Czech psyche through 10 paintings that are a visual maps of conversations she had with Czech people. She defines herself as a "Psycho-cartographer". More or less like Andrew Park from the "RSA Animate project".

It certainly is interesting to see through these paintings, how Jessica perceives cultural differences, and trace patterns, and behavior that are in a way typical for the Czech. I don't think there was a Golem though.


The initial opening was 23.5.2013 but there will be other date : 6, 9, 10, 13 , 22 and 23 in June.

How to Build a Universe

Challenging time

The current time is filled with new challenges, it's in the air. We live in a time of transition, and we have this choice either to accept the change or to resist the upcoming evolution.

Nothing can be certain, and nothing ever was held as the truth unanimously recognized as such. The fact is there is probably not such thing as an Universal truth - only fragments the each and every one of us hold as their truth.

But there is change and change has always been the modus operandi of this Universe. Nothing is set, everything evolve, update, transform, ...

Laws and Order

Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.

Change is something already occurring, people are awakening in mass ; and start to question "what is reality ?" in fact simple things that we always took for granted, start to amaze people, to mesmerize their interests, why do we have to live like we are never going to die ? why do we pretend to like jobs we don't like ? why have I never stopped and look inside for what I always wanted to do with my life ?

What if we are the creator of our own reality ?

How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later: Unless we can psychologically accommodate change, we ourselves begin to die, inwardly. What I am saying is that objects, customs, habits, and ways of life must perish so that the authentic human being can live. And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.

-- Philip K. Dick

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." 

A new language

Abeceda

A new language

At some stage humanity will have to re-invent language (or found it again) - the way we have communicated so far, doesn't fit the bill.
Somehow intentions, sources, experiences are left when a sentence is given.

Gospel Of Philip: Names given to the worldly are very deceptive, for they divert our thoughts from what is correct to what is incorrect. Thus one who hears the word "God" does not perceive what is correct, but perceives what is incorrect. So also with "the Father" and "the Son" and "the Holy Spirit" and "life" and "light" and "resurrection" and "the Church (Ekklesia)" and all the rest - people do not perceive what is correct but they perceive what is incorrect, unless they have come to know what is correct. The names which are heard are in the world [...] deceive. If they were in the Aeon (eternal realm), they would at no time be used as names in the world. Nor were they set among worldly things. They have an end in the Aeon.

Babel

In the Bible, the story of Babel is a turning point, when the people lost their abilities to talk properly to each other, after that the confusion of languages started.
On the other hand, during Pentecost something happen that is of great augur :

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. Acts 2:1–6 in all major bibles

Rudolf Steiner

If you ever wanted to know more about occultism, and higher worlds, etheric body, astral body, and so on and so forth ... you may want to read the various work of Rudolf Steiner.

Here's a few selected books and topics covered

PHILOSOPHY OF FREEDOM Steiner's most Important philosophical work deals both with epistemology, the study of how man knows himself and the world, and with the issue of human freedom.

In the first half of the book Steiner focuses on the activity of thinking in order to demonstrate the true nature of knowledge. There he shows the fallacy of the contemporary idea of thinking, pointing out that the prevailing belief in the limits to knowledge is a self-imposed limit that contradicts its own claim to truth.

The possibility for freedom is taken up in the second half of the book. The Issue is not political freedom, but something more subtle; freedom of the will. There are those who maintain that man's thoughts and actions are Just as determined as a chemical reaction or a honey bee's behavior. Steiner points again to the activity of thinking, from which arises the possibility of free human action.

OCCULT SCIENCE, AN OUTLINE This work of nearly 400 pages begins with a thorough discussion and definition of the term “occult” science. A description of the super sensible nature of man follows, along with a discussion of dreams, sleep, death, life between death and rebirth, and reincarnation. In the fourth chapter evolution is described from the perspective of initiation science. The fifth chapter characterizes the training a student must undertake to become an initiate. The sixth and seventh chapters consider the future evolution of the world and more detailed observations regarding super sensible realities.

Butterfly In Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

The name that can be named

This is Dr. Wayne Dyer talking about his book "Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life"
of course this reminds a bit of "The Secret" - which was talked about in a previous post

As described in the film, the "Law of Attraction" principle shows that feelings and thoughts can attract events, from the workings of the cosmos to interactions among individuals in their physical, emotional, and professional affairs. 

it's good to know that initially Dr. Wayne Dyer was contacted to appear in "The Secret" but didn't.

the book "Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life" is not so much about "Knowing what you want" but to observe life and act in life with the life's way.

Tao means "the Way".

The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.

The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.

Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.

Yet mystery and manifestations
arise from the same source.
This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all understanding.

[...]

Other dimensions of reality

Troubled times, crisis everywhere ; but people are waking up, despite the feeling that as modern civilizations we have everything figured out. The 21st century  is sad, and fearful - haven't we forgot something along the way ? What are we really afraid of ?!

Stanislav Grof (born July 1, 1931 in Prague, Czechoslovakia) is a psychiatrist, one of the founders of the field of transpersonal psychology and a pioneering researcher into the use of non-ordinary states of consciousness for purposes of analyzing, healing, and obtaining growth and insight into the human psyche. Grof received the VISION 97 award granted by the Foundation of Dagmar and Václav Havel in Prague on October 5, 2007.

Lakota Instructions for Living

Friend do it this way - that is,
whatever you do in life,
do the very best you can
with both your heart and mind.

And if you do it that way,
the Power Of The Universe
will come to your assistance,
if your heart and mind are in Unity.

When one sits in the Hoop Of The People,
one must be responsible because
All of Creation is related.
And the hurt of one is the hurt of all.
And the honor of one is the honor of all.
And whatever we do effects everything in the universe.

If you do it that way - that is,
if you truly join your heart and mind
as One - whatever you ask for,
that's the Way It's Going To Be.

Honor the sacred.
Honor the Earth, our Mother.
Honor the Elders.
Honor all with whom we share the Earth:

Walk in balance and beauty.

How Do You Know What You Really Want To Do In Life?

In a previous post, I was writing about the challenge of finding "What do you want in life" and on this particular quest, I'm glad that a bit of Google search (and a bit of luck) direct me to this article "How Do You Know What You Really Want To Do In Life?" written by Jocelyn Soriano (Thanks):

What is it that you won't ever get tired of doing? What is it that even if others attempt to stop you, you would still be doing just for the sake of doing it? Something you could never stop yourself from doing, because stopping yourself would mean stopping the very flow of life in you?

"Žít" Zdeňka Jordánová

V neděli 14.3.2010 v tělocvičně gymnázia v Omské ulici v Praze jsme měli možnost slyšet přednášku Zdeňky Jordánové. Zazněla v rámci 27. mezinárodního festivalu ezoterických a duchovních směrů MILUJ SVŮJ ŽIVOT.
Já osobně jsem měla poprvé možnost slyšet naživo tuto učitelku duchovního růstu a pocítit její charizma. A nebyla jsem zklamaná. Téma přednášky "Žít" se dotýká každého, každé živé bytosti. Je to téma univerzální a zárověň to nejosobnější pro každého z nás.

Někdo žije v budoucnosti nebo budoucností, jiní v minulosti. A přitom je tak důležité žít teď a tady. Jen v takovém stavu mysli se můžeme propojit se svými pocity a mít to, co Zdeňka zdůrazňuje: Dobrý pocit. To, co mnoho lidí už ani moc často necítí, nezná nebo nehledá.

Zdeňka Jordánová vyvolala ze sálu posluchačů jednu mladou ženu a zeptala se jí, jestli žije. Když jí žena přitakala, Zdeňka zjistila pomocí svalového testu, že ve skutečnosti nežije. Přežívá. Že žije, jen když pracuje, a to tvrdě, nebo sportuje. Jiný posluchač přímo popsal, že zase žije, když má něco velmi těžkého na práci, a k tomu ještě nějaký problém.

Zdeňka nám vyprávěla o jedné své metodě duchovního cvičení: ráno, než vstane, si představuje takové své alter ego a s ním, s alter-Zdeňkou si povídá. Z těch "rozhovorů" se o sobě dozvídá mnoho věcí a nechává se jimi vést. Je tak v souladu sama se sebou.
Alter-Zdeňka se ráno co ráno houpala v síti. Žádná "činnost", práce s lidmi, pomoc druhým. "Ty NIC neděláš!", zlobila se Zdeňka, která je nesmírně aktivní a činorodá. "Ale já se HOUPU!"

I při houpání, odpočinku nebo přemýšlení a snění bychom měli mít dobrý pocit, že žijeme...

Mnoho dalšího se při Zdeňčině přednášce, která byla při své hloubce taky velmi vtipná, událo. Těším se na její připravovanou knížku o cestě staletími a snad po ní další, právě s názvem "Žít".

Já sama jsem chtěla pod "detektorem lži" - svalovým testem - zjistit, jestli žiju. Mám malou dcerku a moc dobře vím, že žiju hlavně, když se o ni starám, když jsem s ní. A že musím umět žít, i když se věnuju sobě, nebo něčemu či někomu jinému. Moje halasné "Žiju"! neprošlo.
Až po malé chvíli, po zklidnění, jsem to opravdu procítila a Zdeňka mi svalovým testem potvrdila, že ten krásný pocit opravdu mám.

Děkuji Zdeňce Jordánové za její přednášku a přeju jí krásné jaro!
