"Dear friends,

I write to you with immense gratitude and joy in my heart. Finally after 14 long years I'm free. This freedom is not just mine, but it belongs to all of you who supported me in my darkest moments.

Your unwavering support, your letters, your prayers and your belief in me have kept my spirit alive. Each day, your love has given me strength to persevere and have hope through this day. There are no words to express the profound gratitude I have for each and every one of you.

Thank you for being my rock my light and my hope. I can’t wait to embark on this new chapter of life and I’m excited to share it with all of you. Together we overcome and together we will move forward."

~ Julian Assange

When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out of a tree and suddenly make up its mind that it didn’t want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and would be just a bag of broken bones upon landing.
In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling off a tree at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born, we were kicked off a precipice, and we are falling, and there is nothing that can stop it.
So instead of living in a state of chronic tension and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us because the whole world is impermanent,
be like a cat.

~ Alan Watts

Ik groeide op in Lunteren, waar ook mijn moeder en grootouders opgroeiden. Mijn oma en opa waren van de ‘zwartekousenkerk’. Mijn moeder mocht heel veel niet, zoals haar haar afknippen. Dat deed ze stiekem, en liep maanden met haar vlecht op een speld gemonteerd zodat haar ouders niks door hadden. Als ik een broek aan had, make-up op deed, televisie keek of al die andere dingen die God in hun beleving verboden had dan ging ze voor me bidden, mijn oma.
Zo lief was ze, maar ze ging gebukt onder het geloof. Tot ze dementeerde en al die zwaarte weg viel. Wat over bleef was haar pure eigenheid; vrolijk, zacht en lief.

Ondanks (of wellicht dankzij) mijn Christelijke afkomst, zowel thuis als op school, zette ik al vrij snel vraagtekens bij het geloof zoals mij dat van jongs af aan aangeboden werd. Sindsdien is het leven voor mij wat dat betreft een mooie zoektocht geworden naar wie God is. Wie Jezus was. Ik leerde er lessen over tijdens mijn vele reizen, via de vele boeken die ik las, via mijn werk en steeds meer ook via every day life. Immers als God omnipresent en omnipotent is, waar is God dan niet?

Ik stapte niet alleen weg van georganiseerde religie, maar ging ook de Bijbel anders zien. Ik werd me er bewust van dat de Bijbel ‘vervuild’ is door machthebbers van weleer. Censuur is van alle tijden. Als je ontdekt dat maar 15% van de historische bronnen omtrent het leven van Jezus bewaard zijn gebleven dan weet je zeker dat je heel veel (nog) niet weet. Tel daarbij op dat we ook heel veel weten wat niet waar is.

Gelukkig zijn er meerdere wegen naar Rome, of naar Jezus in dit geval. Recent kwam er een boek op mijn pad dat zoveel inzicht geeft en vele vermoedens bevestigt. Met dit boek wordt het werkelijke verhaal van Jezus en Maria Magdalena helder. Er wordt een brug geslagen tussen esoterie en wetenschap, én van toen naar de huidige tijd. Ik kan het je van harte aanraden!

Zou de trilogie v Thea Beckman, ‘Kinderen v moeder aarde’ een kern van waarheid hebben? Daarin verdraait de positie van de as waar de aarde om draait.

Het waren mijn lievelingsboeken destijds.

Oh en ik denk dat Ard hier de Etna bedoelt 😁

“Do not lose heart. We were made for these times.

I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world right now. It is true, one has to have strong cojones and ovarios to withstand much of what passes for “good” in our culture today. Abject disregard of what the soul finds most precious and irreplaceable and the corruption of principled ideals have become, in some large societal arenas, “the new normal,” the grotesquerie of the week.

It is hard to say which one of the current egregious matters has rocked people’s worlds and beliefs more. Ours is a time of almost daily jaw-dropping astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.

…You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking.

Yet … I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is – we were made for these times.

Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement. I cannot tell you often enough that we are definitely the leaders we have been waiting for, and that we have been raised, since childhood, for this time precisely.

…I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able crafts in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind.

I would like to take your hands for a moment and assure you that you are built well for these times. Despite your stints of doubt, your frustrations in arighting all that needs change right now, or even feeling you have lost the map entirely, you are not without resource, you are not alone.

Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. In your deepest bones, you have always known this is so.

Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a forest greater. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.

… We have been in training for a dark time such as this, since the day we assented to come to Earth. For many decades, worldwide, souls just like us have been felled and left for dead in so many ways over and over — brought down by naiveté, by lack of love, by suddenly realizing one deadly thing or another, by not realizing something else soon enough, by being ambushed and assaulted by various cultural and personal shocks in the extreme.

We all have a heritage and history of being gutted, and yet remember this especially … we have also, of necessity, perfected the knack of resurrection.

Over and over again we have been the living proof that that which has been exiled, lost, or foundered – can be restored to life again. This is as true and sturdy a prognosis for the destroyed worlds around us as it was for our own once mortally wounded selves.

…Though we are not invulnerable, our risibility supports us to laugh in the face of cynics who say “fat chance,” and “management before mercy,” and other evidences of complete absence of soul sense. This, and our having been ‘to Hell and back’ on at least one momentous occasion, makes us seasoned vessels for certain. Even if you do not feel that you are, you are.

Even if your puny little ego wants to contest the enormity of your soul, the smaller self can never for long subordinate the larger Self. In matters of death and rebirth, you have surpassed the benchmarks many times. Believe the evidence of any one of your past testings and trials.

Here it is: Are you still standing? The answer is, Yes! (And no adverbs like “barely” are allowed here). If you are still standing, ragged flags or no, you are able. Thus, you have passed the bar. And even raised it. You are seaworthy.

…In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting over how much is wrong or unmended in the world. Do not focus on that. Do not make yourself ill with overwhelm. There is a tendency too to fall into being weakened by perseverating on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind without raising the sails.

We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear. Didn’t you say you were a believer? Didn’t you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn’t you ask for grace? Don’t you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the Voice greater? You have all the resource you need to ride any wave, to surface from any trough.

…In the language of aviators and sailors, ours is to sail forward now, all balls out. Understand the paradox: If you study the physics of a waterspout, you will see that the outer vortex whirls far more rapidly than the inner one. To calm the storm means to quiet the outer layer, to cause it, by whatever countervailing means, to swirl much less, to more evenly match the velocity of the inner, far less volatile core – till whatever has been lifted into such a vicious funnel falls back to Earth, lays down, is peaceable again.

One of the most important steps you can take to help calm the storm is to not allow yourself to be taken in a flurry of overwrought emotion or despair – thereby accidentally contributing to the swale and the swirl. Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.

Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely.

It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts – adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take “everyone on Earth” to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.

…One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times.

The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires … causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these – to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both — are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.

…There will always be times in the midst of “success right around the corner, but as yet still unseen” when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it; I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate.

The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours: They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here.

In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But … that is not what great ships are built for.

…This comes with much love and prayer that you remember Who you came from, and why you came to this beautiful, needful Earth.”

What rising above looks like… 🙌🏼

Robert Grant is a successful entrepreneur and best-selling author of the books PHILOMATH and POLYMATH. His life is immersed in curiosity and an insatiable desire to learn. He’s traveled to 140 countries and lived in nine, learning different languages to learn about the cultures. While studying under a music scholarship, Robert realized he wanted to help people, so he shifted into healthcare following a dream of sound-based medicine.

Time spent in the pharmaceutical industry taught Robert that we need a systemic change in the healthcare industry, so he shifted his focus to become a catalyst for change in a larger system that no longer serves us. Looking through the prism of the u”in”verse (the cosmic system of matter and energy of which we are a part), Robert began his journey of self-discovery. Now, he shares practical applications of the interconnectedness of physics and the fundamental constants, music, geometry, and prime number theory. He inspires a global community through heartfelt, accessible, yet in-depth talks, and has been featured on TedX and Gaia News. Robert is a prolific inventor and founder of several corporate enterprises, including the growth equity holding company, Strathspey Crown LLC, and Crown Sterling Limited LLC, a next- generation Cryptography company, based on discoveries from his work in geometry and mathematics. He is a prodigious artist, sculptor, music theorist, musician, and author of several research and patent publications spanning biology, DNA combinatorics, number theory, geometry, and physics.
