About Me:

 Change your mind and keep it changed,

says Emmet Fox

Through mindful breathing, letting go of judgments,and by freeing myself from old habits of repetitive negative self talk with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), I recently metamorphosized from a frustrated German doctor into my true purpose of the mindchanger.

Having studied emotional trauma for years I  found that not only substance abuse, eating disorders, and other self destructive habits are caused by emotional trauma, but also crime, violence, and most physical diseases are related to traumatic experiences. Emotional trauma shames us into identification with a false self so that we loose the freedom of being our original free and joyous spirits.

Since we all are somewhat traumatized, shamed, and addicted to old, self destructive, or depressing concepts, thinking and emotions, through the dysfunctional society we grew up in, and since I have been through the process of recovery from emotional trauma, depression, as well as from addictions, I intend to offer help to others and share ideas on healing the soul and liberating the spirit, so that peaceful cooperation on earth becomes only a question of changing our minds about our minds and joining in a “society of friends,” which could be zaadz if we so desire.

I learned that to change the world we have to change our minds about the world, and especially about our Selves. We need to wake up from the consensus trance (Charles Tart) and from the habitual trance patterns we developed as children in face of emotional pain (Stephen Wolinsky). Some of my ideas transpire through my blog  and the pod ”healing through mindchange.”


Besides learning to love myself and everyone else for no reason except that we are one mind at source, I love this poem, Xin-xin-ming, (Trust in Mind or The Great Way) which sums up the wisdom of Zen Buddhism.

 

Xinxinming


TRANSLATED BY RICHARD B. CLARKE


The Great Way is not difficult

for those who have no preferences.

When love and hate are both absent

everything becomes clear and undisguised.


Make the smallest distinction, however,

and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.

If you wish to see the truth,

then hold no opinions for or against anything.


To set up what you like against what you dislike

is the disease of the mind.

When the deep meaning of things is not understood,

the mind's essential peace is disturbed to no avail.


For the complete poem check: http://www.mendosa.com/way.html
More translations and enlightening commentary can be found in the book: “Trust in Mind, Rebellion in Chinese Zen” by Mu Soeng.


Since my thoughts and emotions are caused by what I focus on, I found, in order to find peace in the world I have to find peace in my mind first, so that I can be aware what focus is desirable. As the poem suggests peace comes when I let go of judgments, discriminating thoughts, the analyzer, and trust in Mind, the Big Mind, - when I identify with pure awareness, called open mind, the witness consciousness, or the knower, universal intelligence, or the spirit. When I trust It enough to let go of fears and worries I becomne free to act according to my big heart, the original goodness, or God in me as aware will.

To help you recognize the knower or witness consciousness in yourself and  realize that It is the great I Am, the true Self or Spirit, I recorded two guided meditations on CD under the title: Awareness in the Now, and A Change of Mind, a free download at www.learnoutloud.com.

To deepen your experience of the fact that you create your own reality through your judgments, labels, and self talk, I recommend to take the Avatar Course, a program of exercises which teach you the self-awareness that enables you to live from your true Self, the knower, or aware will, as Harry Palmer, the founder of Avatar, calls it. I don't like the price, the marketing, and the hierarchical organization which has certain authoritative tendencies, but the exercises are very useful. The introductory book “Resurfacing” and the Avatar-mini-courses I can definitely recommend. Check avatarepc.com or my friend Nicola, my first Avatar teacher, here at gaia.

After the Avatar program I got into studying Science of Mind, the teaching of the perennial philosophy based on Christian thoughts and formulated by Ernest Holmes. After initial prejudices due to the abuses of Jesus teachings by the churches I found that it makes me very happy to have my prejudices overcome and righted into a new understanding of Jesus wisdom. Eventually I realized that the kingdom of heaven within is my non-judgmental, loving consciousness, and Jesus teachings turn out to be nothing else but quantum living formulated 2000 years before our time.

Nowadays I am trying to stay conscious and free from old trance states while I am working on a program of Liberating the Spirit which I want to offer to help people change their minds and keep them changed to the point that everybody realizes that the world is the way we make it, and that we can make it peaceful and good right now.

If you'd like to discuss my views or visit give me a shout. I'd love to have some like-minded company on my beautiful hilltop here in Jamaica. My pictures show the guest cottage where I'll put you up.

I also offer individual treatment  for addiction, asthma, allergies, stress, depression and  consequences of emotional trauma with EFT. Works for all other negative emotions, too, though, in fact, for everything you want to be free from as well as for what you would like to enhance in your manifestation. Just ask and you will receive..


My latest realization:

The only obstacle to love
is the fear of letting go of the judgments.

The only obstacle to peace
is the fear of letting go of the conflicts.

The only obstacle to enlightenment
is the fear of letting go of the concepts.

Love, peace, enlightenment are what I is
before I disturb It with thinking.


One Mind, One Love
