From flat to sparkling

With love, Transitium ZeeVELD offers a home to the most diverse retreats. No less than three in a row in the past week alone.

But ZeeVELD also has its own awareness path: Liber.

Practicing the crux of Liber: to become aware of how only a single obstacle stands in the way of your unification with your deepest purpose, the essence of all things: the value you place on your own opinion about setbacks, disappointments or events where you weren’t waiting for.

Look at it this way: all life ends in one great ‘disappointment’: our death. Then the next question is: which is more relevant now? Our opinion or conception of that death, or the actual, real fact of it?

Nothing invites us to unity like setbacks. Put a curl on that word (or with feelings like ‘difficult’, ‘difficult’, ‘disappointing’, ‘doesn’t suit me’, ‘I can’t wait’) and we signal our views about what we are experiencing, more important to find than anything. First and foremost: our opinion about people and things. Learn – Liber! – to welcome setbacks with an open heart, to ‘eat’, to ‘digest’, and the deepest, always surprising and life-giving message that is also hidden in ‘disappointing’ or ‘disappointing’ events becomes clear to you.

And instead of opinions, insights become your part. It becomes difficult to struggle, to cooperate gratefully. Turns flat into sparkling life.

From self-image to life expression

What can make learning Liber so difficult: it consciously breaks down your self-image. The Pietje or Marietje that you have built so hard on. Yet: whoever feels called to be more expression of life than self-image, allows himself to be brought down.

Not demands, but gifts

However different the manifestation, the foundation of every proven spiritual discipline, from the East as much as from the West, revolves around the same recognition: sure, holiness dwells in our hearts, but between us and that heart is our ego. And unless we hand over the reins of that to outside “sacristies,” rituals or disciplines, that heart will be the dwelling place not only of our sacred, but also of our unholy. And thus a battleground.

The demagogue in me

Every time President Trump says, ‘I am the solution’, I know again: yes indeed, in me the problem. Waking. There’s work to be done. Read more here…
