I focus my experiencing and awareness on being
"a pioneer of Evolution in
learning to feel":
I let my Body vibrate and my Heart 'womb'
pain, shame, fear, boredom, powerlessness,
so feelings can >heal >guide>fulfill>evolve,
and ~~~ offer ~~~"goldmines"~~~ to us all!! "I
want you to feel everything, every little thing!"

8:15 My Body, my Partner,
though you feel a bit shaky and need to breathe more,
thank you for having slept with me for 8 full hours,
interrupted only once by the noisy builders outside,
who obviously had to work in the middle of the night,
because they had to cut off the electricity of the entire
area.
But we stood up on your healthy legs,
and closed the window with your healthy arms,
and lay down again on your healthy belly
and fell asleep right away.
Thank you Mika,
that you - together with your funny games of rejection - ("lekhi, satta"=go
away grandma, or "duzi, duzy, satta" =zuzi=move) ran with such eagerness to my
room, -
took all our little boxes from the little table,
asked to be lifted on my high bed,
and then played so sweetly - over and over again - with our
tiny treasures.
You did this ritual - with its ever new creative turns - 3
times
once when we arrived with the car, in which you took me from
the train,
once between Imma's Good Night story and our
Good Night Song,
and once, when you were ready for kindergarden , with your
shoes on,
but asked me to take them off - just for those few minutes
- and I did.
A Dream:
After gigantic, rushing activities, which involved many people,
I dare to gather around me some seven "partners"
-
(with bystanders, whose judgments I fear even more),
and tell them this: "We are all interwoven in
such a way,
that when one person breaks through
to accomplish great things for all,
there will be a terrible regression for all."
I wanted to say what the
alternative option was,
but the tumult of my fear and shame
reflected in the tumult around me
drowned the rest....
When
Efrat and I had put Mika to bed,
- the sweet ritual ending with a "Dandushit",
a touch of Mika's finger on Imma's nose and Savta's nose -
I moved around Efrat for some moments,
trying to sense, if she wanted me around.
She was busy with the washing-machine
and I felt, that she just wanted to go to bed, early as it was.
Finally I decide to simply ask:
"After an entire year of my
staying with you,
I don't have to tell you, right?
that even if I'm closing my door,
I'm always..."
she completed herself - laughingly - "always
available!"
In Hebrew I made a pun - years ago:
"ani lo yozemet - ani z'minah" I don't initiate - I am available

[kurz]
Nacht für Nacht läuft der japanische
Mönch Hoshino Endo auf schmalen, steilen Pfaden 30 Kilometer
durch die Zedernwälder des Berges Hiei. Der 31-Jährige

[lang] Der japanische Mönch Hoshino Endo
hat sich für eine ganz besondere Art zu beten entschieden:
Nacht für Nacht läuft er auf schmalen, steilen Pfaden
30 Kilometer durch die Zedernwälder
des Berges Hiei. Der 31-Jährige
ist Marathonmönch, ein Gyogia,
wie die Asketen des buddhistischen Enryaku-ji-Ordens genannt
werden. In den nächsten drei Jahren will er seine Laufstrecke
auf84 Kilometer pro Nacht
steigern. Nach sieben Jahren wird er auf
eine Gesamtstrecke von mehr als 38.000 Kilometer kommen. Selbst
wenn er mit seiner Leistung jeden Athleten in den Schatten stellt,
Hoshino Endo läuft nicht aus sportlichen Ambitionen. Was
ihn antreibt, ist die Suche nach Erleuchtung. Über sich
hinauszuwachsen, seine eigenen Begierden abzulegen, und
irgendwann ganz für andere da sein zu können, das
ist das Ziel seiner Strapazen. Umkehren
kann Hoshino nicht mehr. Einmal begonnen, muss ein Gyogia den
Weg bis zu Ende gehen. Ob Krankheit oder Verletzung, ob Taifune
oder Schnee, Hoshino wird keinen Kilometer auslassen. Denn sonst
bliebe ihm nur der Tod.Eine Waffe
für den Suizid trägt er immer bei sich. Knapp
sechs Stunden ist Hoshino jede Nacht unterwegs, mindestens eineinhalb
Stunden davon betet er: an Tempeln, Schreinen, Bäumen,
Steinen und Bächen. 255 heilige
Orte auf dem Berg Hiei sind es insgesamt, und jeder hat seine
eigenen Regeln. An manchen ist es nur eine kurze Handbewegung,
ein dahin geworfenes Wort oder eine Segnung, an anderen eine
ausgefeilte Choreografie. Hoshino
ist zur Zeit im vierten Jahr seiner Askese. Wenn alles gut geht,
wird er in wenigen Jahren ein Heiliger sein.
Ingolf Baur hat Hoshino Endo bei seinen Läufen und in seinem
Alltag begleitet und dabei eine Ahnung davon bekommen, wie strapaziös
die buddhistische Askese ist.
When I was alone with myself,
I was too tired to do anything creative on K.i.s.s.-L o g
,
and "used the time"
to read Jean Hudon's recent e-mail,
in this case an accumulation of "spiritual messages".
I tried to be as non-judgmental as possible
and glean the grains which will nourish me.
Still the very terms "spiritual", "ascencion"
etc
are difficult to tolerate.
The magnetic pole, "Will", "Feelings&Emotions"
is non-existent.
At 22:10 a documentary in 3SAT
"Japan, the Marathon Monk of Kyoto"
showed the same tendency,
but in a more perplexing manner.
The3SAT preview (see left)
only mentions the harshness of what this Japanese ascetic
does:
["Babylon" explains
the term like this: one who practicesself-denial
for spiritual discipline]
Every night he runs from 30 to 84 km,
until - after 7 years - he will have accomplished 38000 km.
If he should collapse and stop, he will have to kill himself.
A weapon for this purpose is always with him.
The doc demonstrates vividly,
what torture and torment are inflicted on Body,
verily the very embodiment of denial
of Body.
But there was much more to it:
There is one day, when the monk runs through the town.
So that the people may run with him, or kneel before him. "He does this for me too",
they say.
And sensing people's yearning in this belief,
tears of compassion come to my eyes now.
There were scenes with two other monks,
one of them had accomplished the run even twice in his life.
He was now75 years old,
a man of such beauty and radiating wholeness,
that I wished he could be "my" man.
The other monk - now 90 - explained and convinced me! "that after a night of running
one feels,
that this one day is like the entire life.
And each day is different."
The passing of each day = each life is symbolized
in the straw sandals which last just for one night!
"As you approach wholeness
you will notice a marked increase in synchronicity
and deeper meaning in the events of your life.
...
"Allow life to bring you what it does,
knowing that whatever comes to you in this way
will be just what you need in the moment
to bring you closer to wholeness..."
13:00
Now see, how synchronicity works! I'm so excited I can hardly write!
Inserting a table here, allows me to juxtapose the two events!
About an
hour ago Body wanted to take a break,
so we started to water the plants on the veranda
and to cut off the withered flowers.
There will be much more to do during later breaks,
but when Body felt it had moved enough,
we returned to the room,
just in time to catch a call on my mobile phone.
Since I had time only to click and not to think,
I answered! It
was Diana!She asked: "How are you!"
"Wonderful!"
"Thank you!"
"You thank for my feeling wonderful?"
"It just came out of my mouth!"
"Yes, it's good to say thanks for another's well-being."
"Thank you for answering my call!"
I laughed,
for if the situation might not have been arranged like I described,
I might not have answered...
despite Diana's sweet SMS three days ago.
Then she came forward. "I'm constantly trying to
understand this "Emotions have to be moved",
and just now I had an insight."
Yesterday the couple (which tends to quarrel) had met with their
therapist,
and the discussion about"Emotions
have to be moved" was high-pitched.
Today the therapist called and was adamant about: "Anger has to be observed".
Diana searched in Godchannel's "Navigator" and found
"I
am enraged".
She quoted passages from it until she reached a sentence,
which helped her to synthesize between what she had learnt from
me,
and what her therapist believed in.
While listening not only
to her but to myself,
I left the house with Nella, the dog, to walk.
When Diana had finished her report and asked: "What do you think?"
I had arrived at a relatively nice spot on the newly built track
(the building of which caused us so much irritation the last
year),
and - looking at the blue skies with softly moving dramatic
clouds - I said:
Nella, the dog, and I were on our way
back,
when Diana and I parted.
I must have been so immersed in thinking about that encounter,
an encounter via the phone after all!
that the weirdest thing happened to me:
I entered the house,
I even had seen - or so it seemed to me - the number 51,
and wondered that there was no light in the staircase,
and we had to use the elevator.
Coming out of the elevator, I lit the light in the corridor
of 4 flats,
and walked straight to "our" flat, opened the door,
and what do I see: a woman in front of the TV.
I was appalled! "I'm
so sorry, it's the wrong flat!"
I took the elevator down again,
and there I got totally confused.
Everything seemed to be the same as in our house,
the corridor, the parking lot,
but on "our" lot a car was parking,
"this can't be - Efrat's car is with her at work".
It took some more moments,
until I found my way out,
even the little trees were the same,
except that they weren't small oranges (for my jam...), but
small lemons.
Outside I finally recognized my error.
Maybe our house bears the number 55, not 51?
Writing this, it looks like I had an attack of Altzheimer.
But I believe the experience pointed to what happened next,
not with concern to the content though,
well I can't explain it.
I returned to my computer and said to myself::
"I haven't opened my e-mail yet!"
Among all the junk mails I see I name I haven't seen for a
long time. Victor Barr! A real star
on Healing-K.i.s.s.!
His voice is among those who sing to that dance animation
at the entry to last years library InteGRATion
into GRATeFULLness
!
I opened his letter.
No greetings, no words,
but a link which made my heart pound with joy and hope: www.freewill.co.il
Wardit (now Dvorah) Bar-Ilan, once my pupil, once my friend,
the one whose home is the Salt Sea just like it is mine, and
most important - the midwife of my DesertVision'
has a team of six partners, and a website, about Right
Use of Will!
I'm looking forward to studying and savoring
Dvorah-Wardit's site (though the small Hebrew print is difficult
to read for me) but first I want to "complete" the
report on my encounter with Diana,
so that the meaning of the synchronicity between her phone-call and
Victor's e-mail will become more poignant..
(a) "I am happy to tears,
that you invest so much endeavor in learning
both through your experiences as through thinking,
what it means that"Emotions
have to be moved".
(c) "Your understanding is still not
exact -" She interrupted me, wanting to urgently
know,
why it wasn't exact,
"but, Diana, I'm not going to repeat
that blunder
- having told you to scream your anger into the toilet-
from which you drew the conclusion,
that screaming your anger was all there was to "moving emotions".
Your misunderstanding was a big lesson for me.
I trust your own process, Diana!
When you'll again be unhappy about an outbreak of fury,
and what you now learnt , will not help you enough,
you'll go on learning,
experiencing and learning, experiencing and learning.
You can even ask your Higher Self or whatever,
to send you experiences, which will help you learn."
She understood completely,
and I was proud of what I myself had learnt.
No need to teach through words!
Hadn't I just re-read my desperate lament on Noah's
Shore
about the problematics of words?
See the dream of this night!
I'm investing too much energy and hope
in achieving communication through words.
Isn't it ironic, that I reached this conclusion exactly at
a time,
when I fulfilled the dream of being able
to communicate with the entire planet from my tiny cave?
If communication happens, it is sheer grace.
it has very little to do with my effort, talent and skill.
There is an abyss between the context,
in which something is said
and the context, in which something is heard.
I know: there are at least three "wedges"
which hamper my communicating with people:
a) my panic, people might not listen to me,
which makes me talk and write in a way that I create just
what I fear;
b) my need "to discharge" the pain in my experiences,
without first asking people's consent to listen to my feelings;
c) my ego need to be appreciated for what I do,
or my ego need to be recognized as "sane" and "normal";
But even if I would "get rid of" theses wedges,
even then I would not be able to really convey and communicate,
what I want to convey and to communicate.
45 years ago I blamed the biblical prophets
for not having given consideration to the way they communicated
their message.
They reproached, they blamed, they threatened. "No wonder, they made people
furious
instead of making them change their self-destructive ways."
How pathetic has been my ongoing attempt to
apply the Theory of Communication: "Communication is not added to the
message, communication IS the message. "
45 years of refining my ways of communication
have finally brought me the sad understanding:
Mental, verbal communication is intrinsicly, inherently, impossible.
I remember a poem by Hermann Hesse about a
Zen-Master,
who - in time - refrained from all words.
But sometimes, when he would just lift a finger,
a pupil would be shaken to the depth of his being and transformed.
How can I, who believes in the healing through
physical sound,
how can I who heals through writing/sculpting my experiences,
how can I just lift my finger?
16:12
There is a wonderful woman,
to whom I want to give thanks today,
since it would have been her birthday,
if she were alive:
:
January 9, 1919, Dr. Annemarie Mayer
[how strange that 3 days ago I was reminded
of that peasant woman with the similar name: Anna Meyer]
It was in this house at Weilheim, near
Tuebingen, Germany,
where many a drama was acted out
with Annemarie and Reinhold Mayer,
but the most important gift from Annemarie
was a passage in a letter which she wrote to me in Israel: "If you fill a small circle
(like the responsibility for your family),
the circle will expand by itself.
One true full-fill-ment is better than an endless dispersion."
January 1959, Reinhold Mayer,
University of Tuebingen, Germany,
Faculty for Protestant Theology. Seminary in New Testament.
A paper about Paul's antisemitic verses in his letter to the
Thessalonians.
I once started to write about this turning point in my life
. See
ChritianJewish~~~IsraeliGerman {in Hebrew only see the autobiographic
pages
"bio-testimony"
attached to my book "kol YIsrael arevim zae le-zae"]
I could never finish that page.
The theme is too vast , too deep,
to be contained by a website...
Freimut and Friedemann were five and four
years old, when I first met them
Johannes, the youngest, exists because of me! [like Asael,
Wardit's son -see about her above - exists because of me,
except that in this case it was the man who wanted a third child,
and it was the woman who had to be won over by me.]
Annemarie so much wanted to try once more, to receive a daughter.
Reinhold, who had never wanted sons, refused to even try.
That's where I came in!
Yes, there was a time, when I was loved and honored in that
house...
Reinhold with Johannes
In 1969,
when my children were 6, 4 & 2 years old,
we came to Germany and stayed with the Mayers for 3 days.
Reinhold found this difficult: "You know, I enjoy children only
once I can really talk with them."
In 1973 Annemarie and Johannes (to the right of my
3 children) visited us in Israel.
While they were there, Annemarie and I walked into the orange groves
around Ramat-Hadar.
I could support her in fighting for her self-determination and greatness:
If there is a woman who deserves the title "saint', it is her. But what about the growth of those, who choose
a saint as actor in their dramas???
Serious hope, that "the murderer", responsible for five
terror-acts, Marwan
Barghuti , sentenced to five life terms
will be freed from jail.
"We'll win twice!
The kidnapped prisoner Gilad
Shalit (also the other two?) will come home,
and meaningful support will be given to the one man,
who believes in the possibility of peace between Jews and Palestinians: Mahmoud Abbas,
Abu Mazen!"
From today onward a song will complete
the day,
with a song from my 2007
Song Game,
which I either know well or still have to rehearse,
or with a new or not yet recorded song, if it should come my way!
My own singing, after many,
many hours of learning, is still not exact (esp. not the chorus),
but it is important for me, to be able to sing this song myself,
without the help of instruments.
2013-01-09 This is an experience, which deserves that I
interrupt my "Cease to Manifest" on Healing-K.i.s.s.! The fact, that there is still
much free space on this page, is another sign that I may sculpt this story!
2013-01-09
Efrat, on Facebook, connected to this
article, and
to this
which followed a doc on TV which I, too, had seen.
I find it problematic, when "unconditional goodness" of people
is praised.
But watching Sharon's vitality in her facial and vocal expression,
I felt elated, when I read, what for me explains her being and doings:
"Since I'm a person who lives her feelings
and does not deny,
I allowed myself to be in my pain without fear,
I cried a lot, I had great pain and great yearning.
The sensation of emptiness which came up in the beginning
was filled with tears and slowly slowly also other feelings.
I consciously choos e not to be a victim in my own story. I choose to
see the light and the good which is in the story of us and of Ram.
But I trust Sharon Bloch, who, together with her 10 year old daughter,
not only adopted a forsaken Sudanese child,
but also - in all her heartbreak - embraced the biological grandmother
of Ram (Abraham) - after she - who lives in Australia and since long
has lost track of her daughter, Ram's biological mother, tracked her
grandchild down and demanded him for herself.
I'm celebrating this woman, not only because she knows how to feel and
how to express her feelings and from there to embrace a woman who usually
would be considered her enemy - also because she as well as the director
of the film intend to touch people's hearts and soften their panic of
"people who are different from us".
I celebrated this woman even more, after I - while searching for the
link, Efrat had given - discovered another story in this TV research
program "uvdah" (fact) - a woman who looks quite similar to
Ilana and is praised as a heroine not less. It's the widow of Ilan Ramon,
who not only lost her astronaut husband in the Columbia airshuttle crach
in 2003, but also her pilot son Asaf Ramon during a training flight
in 2009. Though even on TV she could hardly control her tears, it is
clear, that she has not cried enough. She is doing good in our society,
but the denial of her overwhelming pain is still oozing out of her pain
and talking and pains ME immensely.
