For those
For those who were there, this image needs no explanation.
This is a post to a link on my otherwise somewhat neglected website.
It has been a week and a day since Tom Brown Jr passed. Words cannot describe the magnitude of the sense I feel.
Tome was the first teacher in this lifetime who I recognized as such. He was a master. I decided to dedicate a page to him, see it here.
Things are changing – there is a huge energy shift for humanity happening. Gardening is archaic and ai is gonna rule the world . hopefully with us humans at the helm
This is a rather long musing, somewhat uncharacteristic of my buzz contributions, which it is for June 2023, but bear with me.
Lately I have felt in some sort of limbo voyaging space from which it was not possible to create any useful social media postings or writings. Luckily facebook provides memories to share.
As many, or, as the case may be, some of you know, I love nature and holistic gardening as well as have been keeping chickens. This is springtime and I have been spending a lot of time there doing a lot of gardening work like soil building, seed starts, planting, tending, maintaining.
Lately, something felt different, not sure what to call it, something felt odd, out of space, out of time and then one day this realization while being in some clear space: what I, this old body-mind was doing in gardening was archaic. It was ancient, it was of a different time, a different level, a different world. It was as if I was looking back at it from a new place or level. I felt outside that old time.
I thought to myself, well, could it be that you simply – finally –
The Pyramid of the New Hierarchy of Needs for the development of a Human Being
You may have heard about or even seen Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs pyramid.
For a while now I have disagreed with it. Based on my own life experience and understanding, I think it is wrong and have made a new one that I feel is more accurate.
The intention for this had been incubating for a while now, but the actual idea of the graphic came through today.
I had to face my non-existent virtual graphic design skills and opted to draw the image and photograph it. I had to look up the math on an equilateral triangle too :).
You will see the basic needs, underlying every phase of human life are: connection, food and shelter.
No one can develop his or her true potential without it.
With connection I mean connection to self, other and the higher/divine/unseen/subtle realms/God. Food includes what we take in air, water, food, impressions. Shelter is, well, shelter from harm.
Here my first version
This year I began offering German and English classes.
German: some knowledge required. Konversationsdeutsch, Tuesdays 11 am – 11:30 am PT
English: beginner English as a foreign language. TEFL certified
I don’t charge for the course. You can inquire on my facebook page.
Our small group just finished a segment on how to keep your immunity in top shape by giving your body what it needs and now, it is time for our Lucid Dreaming course…in English and with Spanish translation.
Orientation is this coming Friday, May 21, 2021.
The email will go out through IDHHB, I posted in on facebook, but unfortunately, I forgot how to post in Instagram from a PC (as some of you know, I don’t have a cell phone, never did except when they first came out in the 90ties and I was on call every other day.) But, I digress, below is the note and zoom invite/registration link for the orientation meeting.
Time is getting close for the start of the Lucid Dreaming segment of the Friday morning DEH (Distance Energy Healing).
What is lucid dreaming?
Why would you want to do it?
And, how does one do it anyway?
These three questions will keep us busy with the DEH Lucid Dreaming practice for at least 6-8 weeks.
If you are interested – or, just want to find out more – join us Friday, May 21, Distance Energy Healing with Dok, – Explorations into Consciousness.
This orientation event is open to all. You can register in advance for this event: Lucid Dreaming Orientation Zoom meeting.
When: May 21, 2021 11:00 AM -Noon Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Register in advance for the orientation.
https://us02web.zoom.us/
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
During the orientation event, you will get a chance to experience the format, space and learn more about how we will be exploring Lucid Dreaming in this course.
If you ever wondered what lucid dreaming is, why you might want to be able to do it, how it could change your life, how to use it in a spiritual way, how you can use it to explore your mind and states of being and – how to actually do it, come on in.
The Lucid Dreaming Course will be held on Fridays 11am -12 noon PT for 6-8 weeks.
“It feels like such an important and useful tool in a variety of ways and the impulse to teach it has been growing stronger lately – so here it is. All are welcome – however, minors need to be accompanied by a parent. I hope to see you there.” – A note from Dok, aka Christiane.
The first online mention of Conscious Life Creates, but, more in the next post.
The world is playing out as it is, quite chaotically atm, and people are taking up their roles in it. What is yours?
For me, one of the things I am focusing on is working to manifest a local garden that has room for other living beings. There is learning involved, inner work and a lot of physical work. The role might be described as creator and harmonizer.
With this garden, I do have a goal in mind, however, it is better to focus on the process, not the outcome. This shifts a lot.
Some people are living a life very different from mine, in countries far away, and are speaking of anchoring new energies, a higher level of being. I see images of beautiful beaches and flowing dresses. Okay, what if your life path isn’t living in a tropical country at the beach? How would I want to anchor energies of a higher vibration or dimension? One thing is for sure, inner work is part of the deal for me. A strong, clear physical/mental/emotional vessel can conduct energy differently and on a higher and larger scale.

Winter Solstice 2020
A time when nature in the Northern hemisphere is slowed, processing inwards, underground, incubating, quiet. Soon the internet will be flooded with pictures of the 2 planets, the Christmas star of 2020, everyone trying to get that great shot, at the end of this year like no other in recent memory.
Me: a picture of a garden from the frozen ground to which the great mother invited me today via slippery frozen crystals and had me landing on the ground, the holy ground of this magical earth. Miraculously, I landed softly.
There are some that do a certain type of practice, a sadhana during this time of apparent pause at the end of contraction, the out-breath in the natural cycles of life, and before the expansion. I did too this year, a more formal one, with a little ritual at the end, intentions finally condensed into three words, each full of meanings, practices, transformation and beingness, meanings particular to my process at this time. Released, surrendered, may it be so.
Playing around with changing what and how much I eat isn’t new for me and I have settled on basically healthy organic foods, increasingly self grown.
Once in my life I went on a 2 week diet to prepare/purify for an important event. It was lemon juice maple syrup, and it was the worst food experience I ever had because it permanently shifted my body’s metabolism, my gums were bleeding. I did lose a lot of weight but I didn’t feel purified.
I now do intermittent fasting, as in I basically never have breakfast and don’t usually eat before 10am at the earliest, often not till noon.
I came across Eric Edmeades through a Mindvalley Masterclass. I liked him, his approach and presentation. Then a friend of mine signed up for the whole 3 month WilfFit program and shared a few things. Wow, this guy is brilliant in how he goes about it. Then his mini quest: & days to Breaking up with Sugar” was made free, and I took it.
Eric makes sooooo much sense. Anyhow, it was not the super easiest week because I love my little sweet treats. While I had been maintaining a good weight, there was this belly fat that just would not leave. Sticking with the week’s experiment was easier than expected, and surprisingly, it stuck. I now still have some fruit, also sweet potatoes and some bread, but not treats and slowly that fat is being burned. After lunch there still is the faint desire for sweet, but not having it is easy. And overall, I feel better, have more energy.
I highly recommend this quest to anyone who is struggling with weight, their relationship with food, is prediabetic or who just wants to stop putting a very destructive, addictive substance into their body. You’ll learn a lot at the very least.
Is there more to a healthy “diet”? Yes, but breaking up with sugar is a very good start.
