Power of the Subconscious Mind

November 22, 2014 Loes 23 Comments

We live in a hectic world, continuously hurtling forward. Where stress and burnout are frequently occurring and difficult to avoid. When did you take the time to relax? Do you remember the last time you gave attention to the power of the subconscious mind? The last time you meditate or went just for a long walk through nature?

What do you teach your children? Do they know the power of the subconscious mind? Do you teach them the abilities when they use this power? Or do you have problems to acknowledge the power of the subconscious mind yourself?

My eye fell on these books on full-length, in full length audio-recorded books. Free to listen to.

Some people will say: “I don’t have time to read a book”. The convenience of an audio book is that you can do the ironing, the dishes or even clean the toilet and the bathroom whilst listening.

Power of the Subconscious Mind

The first book I want to share with you is “The science of getting rich” written by Wallace Delois Wattles.

About this author:

After studying works of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Wattles claimed to have discovered the truth of New Thought principles. Before he published his book, he put them into practice in his own life. He lived every page of his books.

He encouraged his readers to test his theories on themselves rather than take his word as an authority. Creative visualization is the technic Wattles practiced. He “formed a mental picture” or visual image, and then “worked toward the realization of this vision”.

After Rhonda Byrne got a copy of this book as a present from her daughter, she wrote the famous book “The Secret”

Christmas Inspirational Thoughts

October 18, 2014 Loes 12 Comments

Christmas Inspirational Thoughts. Here are my thoughts, and I invite you to share yours.

What is the most precious gift you can give to another? Perhaps an expensive diamond juwel? A gorgeous car? A house? A playstation? When we are thinking of giving something, we usually think of material stuff.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up and we are going to think about how to be thankful and what we can give to eachother.

The shop owners are already making the windows beautiful and shiny. The children are going through the advertising leaflets, cutting out the things they want. They are totally not thinking of what they can give. The lives of our children is primarily about to have, to have, to have.

What is wrong with our educational system?

As Francis of Assisi said:“For it is in giving that we receive.”

Christmas Inspirational Thoughts — Francis of Assisi. Teach the gosple all times, and if necessary use words

Isn’t it the highest time we are going to teach our children what this sentence is all about?

“Whatever it is you are really desiring, give it away. If it’s companionship, give it to someone else, and just listen to them and be there. If it’s money, give it to someone who is less fortunate. If it’s encouragement, give it to others. If it’s friendship, become the best friend you can be to others. If it’s time, serve others with your time. You will be amazed to see how much more of everything you have when you are willing to freely give.”
― Osayi Osar-Emokpae blogger

When you want to have more of something, regardless of what, you have to give it to another freely and with love. And it comes to you in large quantities.

Jesus said: “Ask and you will be given”. (Matt. 7:7-12)

Matthew 22:36
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

He said to him, “’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

We are sitting on a richness, trying to keep it all for ourselves, not knowing what will happen if we share freely.

We have so much gifts to give. We can give love, compassion, attention, time, help, care, money, material, warmth, education, and so on.

We just have to open up to the world and other human beings. See around us and notice what is needed.

We can also withdraw ourselves and put ourselves on a narrow platform and choose not to.

What will be the right way to teach your children? To sit on their platform, or to look around and share their gifts?

How do you teach your children this way of life, you will ask?

Well that is the most simple question you can ask me.

Just live it! Be their example!

The most precious gift we can give to every human being is to let them know they are worth to exist.

And we can let them know, by taking care of their basic needs. To provide a shelter, food, clean drinking water, medical treatment, education and proper clothing for all human beings.

I invite you to share your thoughts. Your Christmas Inspirational Thoughts in the form below, I would appreciate that,

“Do give books – religious or otherwise – for Christmas. They’re never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.”

7 Tips for Talking About Racism With Kids

September 13, 2014 Loes 4 Comments

7 Tips for Talking About Racism With Kids

When we look around, especially in big cities, we have to admit we are a colorful mixed race.

In the passing of the years, your child can pick up some prejudices you don’t like to see in or hear from your child. It is a new balance you want to create in your child, but how can you handle this.

Tradition

Traditionally it’s baked into our genes to belong to a group or a movement. People who look alike or thinks alike, family and friends first. And we, as parents, show our children in daily life that this is normal. We talk about other beliefs as if they are not right. Talk about poor people (antisocial) as if they don’t count. We often won’t live up to the example, the example your kids need to be objective. So before you are reading my tips, keep in mind in what way you are steering your kid towards some conclusions

I like to give you a few tips on how you can react to this delicate subject.

1. Talk about it, and let your child talk about it.

Do not be tempted to ban the thought of your child.
Ask questions, why your child thinks about another that way.
Try to find out “the Why”, perhaps it is just an innocent reply,
which is applicable to every person, and totally not race-related.
Has it to do with the group your child wants to belong to?
And in what way are you the example in belonging to a group.

2. When the “Why” is clear, take every opportunity to adjust your child

When it is a minor issue on pre-school, ask the mom and the child over to visit sometime.
When your child is older, perhaps you can start some voluntary work together.

3. Give response in child language

Talk to your child in a way they can understand.

4. Be open and honest

Tell them, that there are, among all races, good and bad people. That they can’t trust everyone, whether they are from the west, the east, the south or the north. And if they have questions about who to trust and who not, you will be always there to advise them.

5. Be an example, live on to your words

Sit down, next to the outlander in the park, and give a friendly smile and greeting, rather than walk around them with an air and sit down on the next bench.

Do not make faces or make comments to your children when you pass someone who looks different.

6. Go to a cultural event

Look around if there is a bazaar or a performance in a park provided by a cultural organization. And take your children there to taste some of the food and get familiar with the people.

7. Give some history

Once there were only a handful human beings on the earth. But the group became too large, there was no food enough for the whole group, so they split up. Some went to the North and West, some to the South and East. The people adapted themselves to the conditions where they lived. They went off in a group with their own genetic material, and grow into a specific human race. You can explain it the easiest way to a child to say, when a black man and a white woman are getting a child, the child will not be totally black nor totally white, it will become a mixture of both.

Racism is based on ignorance of the other, so if you want to do something against racism, make sure you understand the other.

Some people are very proud to be part of the specific race they were born into, and try to keep everything separated. One man in particularly wrote his own history page with it. His name was Hitler because he thought that his race was the only one who had the right to exist. So he stirred up the people with slogans as “they are the guilty ones that our economic is going down”. The result was that millions of people from specific races and groups were killed. Not only Jews, but also homosexuals, gypsies and ‘economically unworthy’ as physically and mentally handicapped, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Free Bible Students, trade unionists, Freemasons, Communists, Spanish republicans, Serbs, Quakers, and people who oppose the Nazis, were persecuted and murdered.

Teach your children, you’re not better, you’re different!

Teach your children well

September 6, 2014 Loes 8 Comments

Teach your children well, Namasté – ji, so we can change the future in a decade.

Namasté – ji means “The soul in me greets the soul in you.”

Teach your children well

But how do we teach our children well? With bringing them to pre-school? Or to give them the oppertunity to visit the best school available?

What do I mean by this phrase, teach your children well?

I want to tell you my way how you can teach your children well.

Teach your children:

Who they are. Teach your children they are a spiritual being
In what context they are here on earth. That they are their soul, the spiritual being, and they have a body and have a mindset as tool.
Why they are being here on earth. They are here on earth to experience everything they want to, in a way, that everything they do to others they will eventualy experience themselves too.
How important they are. Teach them respect. Give them all your attention, when they ask you something.
That all life forms are One. Teach them there are no lesser life forms only lower life forms, and that all is One in God
What they are capable of, when dreaming and focusing. That they can have and be anything they want to, when they visualize and controle their thoughts

I will explain my answers on these phrases.

When you teach your children that they are a spiritual being, living in a body, with a mindset they can steer, in any direction they want it to go, you give them a precious gift. Because they will recognize common situations that arise in life, as things that they can adapt.

When they know, they are not their emotions, but they just have them, they simply can shift to an emotion they like better. When they know their soul is perfect, whole, compleet and eternal. And they know they have a body, instead of being a body, they can more easily accept some handicapts they have to deal with themselves, and see the real spirit behind the handicapts from others.

When you teach your children that what they send out, will come back to them. You teach them caution. You teach them to think, before they do something what would harm another living being.

When you want to teach them respect, give them respect. They are a compleet spiritual soul in a childs body. Playing with your phone, whilst they ask for attention, sends them the message:”I am not important”. Do you want to give that message to your child? When you really don’t have that earthly time to give your attention at that moment, tell them you will come back on the subject and give them a time, when you will do that.

You will not teach them respect for life, by running to the store for the cheapest meat, you are telling your child that there are lesser forms of life. And that some life on earth does not need any respect. And yes, there are lower life forms, but that does not mean they do not earn any respect.

You can not keep on eating meat of animals who are living a very disrespectful life, whitout the results of that treatments are coming back to you. You can not use unpunished defoliant spraying without causing serious damage to all life forms, including your own.

When you are speaking out words like, you can’t play with that child, because it has an other color or a certain hair style or such, you are learning your child that there are lesser people. Shifting people out on appearance, is something very different to shifting out people on behavior.

Teach your children well to learn them how to controle their thoughts, and controle your own thoughts about your children. Do not push them down. Tell them, I believe in you! Let them dream, have a vision and believe in their capability.

Teach them that every living being is here with its own agenda. The agenda of an oaktree is obvious. By contrast, the agenda of the human being is much more complicated. We are here to experience duality over oneness.

Be a bridge for your children, teach your children well

What if every parent taught the children this life vision?

There would be two generations living a different way of life in an active manner.

The Living Death

August 27, 2014 Loes 14 Comments

The Living Death

When you believe in eternal life, death cannot exist. After all the word “eternal” encloses the whole. We are here as an eternal spirit in a nondurable physical body. Living in a dualistic world, where the contrasts confirm the truth.

Yesterday I attend a funeral, and I did want to comfort the loved ones behind, with words of relief and I want to give them understanding. But at that moment, I cannot just explain to them my vision. It would not be proper to speak it out.

Our spirit is eternal living in the whole of the great One.

We live in a life circle, in a realm, as an eternal spirit in this visual world, while still staying an eternal spirit on the other side.

So, when death appears at our doorstep, it only can be a transform from the nondurable back to our eternal awareness.

When you become aware of all spirits present here in their physical bodies, are also present in the spiritual world, you recognize death as an illusion. It cannot be otherwise, because we are immortal and eternal. As in the Bible is written, there be no lack in Heaven. I assume our loved ones are their waiting for our arrival, as well as they are here morning for our pass away.

I think, we are all One in the eternal, and we make some “dream trip” into the impermanence.

Like to refer to it as God is on Holiday, experiencing Itself.

When you believe like me, God is in everything you see, hear, feel and experience. There is no other, no difference in the One spirit.

When you think about that concept….

Who are you hurting, when you hurt a person, an animal or nature?

And what are you violating by polluting and destroying life on earth?

Your Self The Only One who Exist

I love to read the books from Neale Donald Walsch, He gives in a very striking manner a clear vision about God and Life.

Psychology of Color

Colors have a big influence on our state of mind. Colors in an interior can give you a comfortable feeling. Many entrepreneurs hire an interior decorator to give their business a certain “feeling”. And that’s a good idea, because people response emotional to colors

You know his name already, and it wispers softly through the room. The crib is ready. So are you.

On the bookshelf lies a stack of books about how to rease a child.

You want to give your children the best

August 6, 2014 Loes Leave a comment

You want to give your children the best. All the love you have in you, the top material, the finest education, the best healthcare, clear standards and values, from everything

THE BEST

But do you initiate your children spiritually? Do you tell them they have a soul? Do you talk to them about who they really are? Or do you think that’s a difficult subject?

Neale Donald Walsch wrote this special book for our little angels.
