Compassion

radical freedom

For me, the problems of the world are not the main issue at the moment. There are “problems”, systems, ways of acting, thoughts, etc in need of transformation. However, much more important to me is the challenge: to be authentic, to stand up for what you really are and what you believe, without fear of what “others might think”, to be ready to transform yourself with every step you take, to surrender, completely, to compassion and grace, which leads to feeling your inner love, true love and to live in true loving. That is freedom. That brings flow into living. And to live radical inner and outer freedom is the challenge – now.

Claim your space. Claim yourself. Be authentic. Breath in freedom, breath out freely. Surrender to grace. Feel whatever, let it go and become a vessel of compassion. Be what you are in every moment, and let it go, to be what you are in the next moment.
Be love. Live loving.
And all that in radical freedom.

NOW  : )   ❤

we are the ones we’ve been waiting for and the waiting is over

My deepest compassion for all touched by the Norway massacre

~ florries ~ Leave a comment

In every moment since last Friday my heart goes out to the victims – survivors and deceased – of the Norway massacre and bomb attack, and I lack the words to express how deep my compassion with them, their families and their friends are.

My compassion with the perpetrator Anders also runs deep – such a lost person, so full of fear and hate, so alone.

To those who like Anders believe that people of other creeds and ideologies are hateful and dangerous, particularly to those who consider using violence to make their point or achieve their goals, I would like to say – I hope that this event has become a reason for you to think again.


Shall I not inform you of a better act than fasting, alms, and prayers?
Making peace between one another: enmity and malice tear up heavenly rewards by the roots.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.

found: where science and buddhism meet by Gerald Penilla

~ florries ~ 2 Comments

Just found this great, simple, to the point summary of the connection between Quantum Science and the basic ideas of classic Asian philosophy and religion like Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism, made by Gerald Penilla

One can of course make many arguments against drawing the sort of conclusions which Gerald present in this film. The most common one argument that I have heard is that mathematics are only abstractions and that they just cannot say anything about reality as it really is. Which brings at least my mind to the question if one can say anything about reality as it is…

No matter what point of view you have, I think that you will find the connections which Gerald presents here at least interesting.

Where Science and Buddhism meet part 1 and 2

I think that the most striking about the conclusions presented above is that we are very likely co- creating not only ourselves, but also each other and our reality with our thoughts and attitudes, in a not only spiritual but also physical sense.

A very good reason to love ourselves, one another and our surroundings:  to love all of existence.

And with loving I do not mean some illusion-based infatuation which is denying the difficult, challenging or “bad” sides of reality, each other, existence;

no, I mean a deep, true feeling of compassion, which results in compassion, and love, streaming out of the body, mind and soul, influencing oneself and the surroundings to do good and feel well. And love.
