KNOWING YOU

Knowing your presence

Has brought heaven to me.

Knowing your thought

Has brought light into my words.

Knowing your voice

Has brought expression to my life.

Knowing your existence

Has awaken my soul.

Finally, knowing your love

Has made me love again.

Love is the solution to all

Joy will only come and go like a passenger because the walls of one's incomplete love will constantly leak and get ultimately torn away by many factors that no one is able to control for as long as a lifetime. Love for everyone is the answer. Even for your enemy and you’ll see that no enemies are soon left. Even for the one that has a different view and you’ll see that her/his view deserves its stand, too. Even for yourself and you will see that you are perfect the way you are and you wouldn't wish to be anyone other than you.

We all have different gifts, but we all have the same source of love. 

“Love is the felt experience of connection to another being. An economist says ‘more for you is less for me.’ But the lover knows that more of you is more for me too. If you love somebody their happiness is your happiness. Their pain is your pain. Your sense of self expands to include other beings. This shift of consciousness is universal in everybody, 99% and 1%.” (Charles Eisenstein)

Life and Death / Leben und Tod / Hayat ve Ölüm

Two things are for sure: Life and Death. There, one has two options; the Lie or the Truth. However, everyone has one's own truths and lies. Therefore, after all, there is only one question left: Do you want to die of a lie or live truthfully? When you choose the former, you will have never lived. If you choose however the latter, you will have lived forever.

 

Es sind zwei Dinge sicher: Das Leben und der Tod. Dafür gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten; Wahrheit und Lüge. Doch jeder hat seine eigenen Wahrheiten und Lügen. Die Frage ist dann nur noch ob man einem erlogenen Tod erliegen oder ein wahrhaftes Leben führen möchte. Wenn du dich für das Erstere entscheidest, wirst du niemals gelebt haben. Doch beim Letzteren wirst du gelebt haben eine Ewigkeit.

Iki gercek vardir. Hayat ve Ölüm. Ayni zamanda Hayat ve Ölüm yalanlarda olabilirler. Herkesin kendi gercekleri ve yalanlari vardir. Tek kalan soru iste budur: Bir yalan üzeri mi ölmek yoksa gercek bir hayat mi yasamak istiyorsun? Eger ilkini secersen hic yasamis olmayacaksin. Ama ikincisini secersen  40 ömür kazanmis gibi yasayacaksin.

Ohne Titel (1)

Über dem Himmel eine glühende Sonne, unsere Gesichter erwärmend,
ich weiss, dass sie auch im Regen an meiner Seite stehen würde.

Auf der fruchtbaren Erde Blumen duftend in aller Pracht,
doch in trockenen Zeiten trauert sie mit mir bis das Farbenmeer wiedererblüht.

Zwischen den Strassen die Hektik der Massen,
in mir ist eine beruhigende Stille, Gedanken an sie.

In vollen Cafés laute Menschen mit Desinteresse am Leben,
zwischen 2 Stühlen eine unsichtbare geheimnisvolle Magie.

Filme der intellektuellen Elite, in Wirklichkeit aber Verwirrung der Schauspieler,
Unkenntnis der Zuhörer über die gesprochene Sprache,
daneben ist ihre Sprache die meines Herzens und keine Vorstellung ist klarer.

Ihr Körper und sein Atem klagend im stetigen Kampf,
eigentlich bin ich derjenige, der beraubt seines Atems in der Leere steht.

Ich laufe auf nackten Füssen,
hoffe dass ihre Seele das Fusspaar neben den meinen ist,
unsere Spuren so verbleibend im ewigen Sand.

Lose your soul to technology

Even if Justin Timberlake means only one special thing when he sings "Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology, I need you right in front of me", he might be right somehow in a bigger realm as well. What has technology made of us, of the world, what has it destroyed yet and where will it still take us? Please don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that we have mobile phones, airplanes and the internet, but please let us be aware that we are human beings and what makes us truly human is humane vivid communication - with others and with nature. And surely NOT at all costs. Soon enough we will become mechanical robots ourselves and we'll have lost all kind of sentiment. Love is the true nature of mankind.

I ask you to go out, smile at or even talk to a stranger, give your loved one a flower just like that, call your mothers and fathers, bring chocolate to work even though it is just another regular working day. People will ask you what is wrong with you or if it's your birthday, but let me tell you that then you are back on track of being human. Go back and love. I promise you, it'll feel great.

I just love this animation: THE INVENTION OF LOVE

Money Ethics

What is money and what does money do? There are many scientific explanations for money, but I want to give you my view of its capital function in one sentence: Regulation of human work and the functioning of a society accordingly.

 Well, the question I want to raise is “How would the world look like if money and cost efficiency didn’t matter in some areas?”I want to imagine a scenario where this would be true.

Let’s talk about energy: Nuclear and fossil power is about cost efficiency. If cost efficiency didn’t play a role anymore and governments wouldn’t care about how much money they need to build wind, water, solar and thermal power plants (let’s not forget: money is fictional, its limitation is set by governments and central banks), the entire earth would be green in maybe one year.

Let’s talk about education: What if education was free all over the world, from Kindergarten, elementary school, high school to university? I mean completely free. Since money and cost efficiency don’t play a role anymore, every school and every university would have state-of-the-art equipment and facilities to guarantee access and maximization of the ultimate learning environment. There would be enough teachers and professors to teach small classes. There would be enough tutors to also clear the last questions marks about some alleged difficult matter.

Let’s talk about healthcare: What if health care was available to everybody for free, enough doctors and enough nurses, enough good hospitals also in small urban or rural areas so that old or injured people wouldn’t have to drive for too long? Access to the best medication available on the market?

Let’s talk about private companies: Companies can focus on high-quality product innovation through huge investments in R&D because money and cost-efficiency do not matter. Therefore, in a few years we will have amazing environmental-friendly products that we could have never dream of before.

Let’s talk about NGO’s: So much money to promote peace projects and critical analysis all over the world.

Let’s talk about employment: The state has enough money to employ everyone who doesn’t find a job with a private company. Payment is of course great. Who would still not want to work for a good salary?

Let’s talk about transport: A huge full-electrical transport network (bus, metro, train) available 24/7 with a frequent schedule. No use for your own vehicle that is anyway fully electrical except for shopping or making love to your partner when there is no room available close by. Zero emission.

Let’s talk about garbage: Since money and cost efficiency don’t play a role anymore, we have enough work force and plants to recycle everything we can because we have the time and money to do so from the high-quality products that were built from companies that have the money to build such innovative recyclable products. Worldwide trash reduced by…. I don’t know, let’s say 80%?

I know there are always second thoughts to a solution of a problem, but isn’t this first thought just too sweet and worth all the risks to get there?
